Best rooms

Request a room on the higher floors (4th or 5th) to minimize potential street noise from the Alter Markt area, which can get lively during events and peak tourist season. The hotel's elevator serves all floors, so accessing these rooms won't be a hassle.

Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear courtyard rather than Gutenbergplatz. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise yet still within easy stair access if the lift is busy.

Rooms to avoid

If you're a light sleeper, you might want to avoid rooms on the first or second floor, as these are more prone to street noise from the nearby Alter Markt. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance might experience some background noise from staff activity.

Avoid rooms on the 1st floor (street level) because of direct noise from Gutenbergplatz – a central square with pedestrian traffic, cafes, and occasional events. Also skip rooms directly above the lobby or breakfast area if the hotel has ground-floor public spaces.
