Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Artes, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (above 3rd floor) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's proximity to Leipziger Straße may cause some traffic noise. The 4th and 5th floors have access to the elevator, making it more convenient for guests with mobility issues. Additionally, rooms on these floors may have a better view of the city.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first and second floors, as they may receive more foot traffic and noise from the street. The first floor also has a service entrance, which could lead to occasional noise.
Best views
Guests can expect a view of the surrounding cityscape, possibly including the nearby shopping areas and historic architecture. However, the exact view will depend on the room's orientation and position within the hotel.
Quietest floors
The 4th and 5th floors are likely the quietest, given their proximity to the elevator and higher elevation. However, this may not be a guarantee, and noise levels can vary depending on the hotel's layout and occupancy.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests may experience some noise from the street due to the hotel's location on a busy shopping street. Additionally, the service entrance on the first floor could lead to occasional noise. However, the hotel's 4-star rating suggests that the management has taken steps to minimize noise levels.
Insider tips
Request a room with a balcony for a more pleasant stay, as the fresh air and natural light can make a big difference in the overall experience.
