Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Max Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 5) as the Maxstraße is a relatively busy street with tram and bus traffic. The hotel has 5 floors, and the lift is located near the entrance, which means that rooms on higher floors will be less affected by street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or rooms 101-105, as they are located near the service entrance and may receive some noise from the staff and delivery traffic.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Maxstraße does not offer a clear view of the Rhine River or the surrounding cityscape. Rooms on higher floors may offer a glimpse of the city, but it will be partially obstructed by the surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 6-7 are likely to be the quietest, as they are higher up and away from the street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
The noise from the street can be a concern, but it's worth noting that the hotel is located in a relatively quiet area of Bonn. However, the noise from the tram and bus traffic can be noticeable, especially during rush hour.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a window on the north side (away from the street) for a quieter experience. The hotel's 24-hour reception is conveniently located near the lift, making it easy to check-in and out at any time.
- 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
