Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to mey Boardinghouse, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 3rd floor) to minimize the potential for street noise from Hauptstraße. The hotel's 3-star rating suggests a more basic layout, but the presence of a lift indicates a building with multiple floors. Given the central location, rooms on higher floors are likely to be quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they may be closer to the front desk and potentially more prone to noise from the hallway. Additionally, rooms near the lift may experience noise from the mechanical system.
Best views
Rooms on the higher floors (above 3rd floor) may offer a view of the surrounding cityscape, but this cannot be guaranteed without more information on the hotel's layout.
Quietest floors
3rd floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise may be a consideration for rooms on lower floors, as Hauptstraße is a main thoroughfare. However, the hotel's central location also puts it within walking distance to local amenities and attractions.
Insider tips
Arrive early to secure parking, as spaces may be limited in the surrounding area. Request a room with a window facing away from Hauptstraße to minimize street noise.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
