Best rooms
Request a room on the upper floors (4th floor or higher) facing away from the main road to minimise street noise and improve views. Corner rooms at the end of corridors tend to be quieter as there is less foot traffic passing by.
Request a room on the ground floor (floor 1) for easy access to the lobby and pool area. This floor has one accessible room with a wide doorway and roll-in shower, making it suitable for guests with mobility needs.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st to 3rd floor) facing the street — these will pick up the most noise from the Esplanade traffic and pedestrian activity. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft or service areas, which can be noisy at any hour.
Avoid rooms on the third floor, as the lift is the sole means of access and may be prone to delays or breakdowns. Additionally, consider avoiding rooms near the roof terrace, as noise from evening events or late-night gatherings might disturb you.
