Best rooms

Request a room on the second or third floor at the rear of the building (away from Rue 24.236). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still accessible if the lift is out of service—common in 3-star hotels here. The rear position minimises traffic rumble from the main road.

Ask for a first-floor room overlooking the inner courtyard. Quieter than street-facing rooms, and you avoid the ground-floor lobby traffic.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those facing Rue 24.236. They suffer direct street noise, exhaust fumes from passing motos and taxis, and less privacy. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft—motor noise and passing guests can be intrusive, especially in the early morning.

Avoid any room at the back if it faces the courtyard behind the building — that’s where the staff entrance and utility area are, so expect early-morning bin collection and kitchen noise.

Wi-Fi

Free Wi-Fi for all guests; speed is adequate for email and messaging (roughly 5 Mbps down); login via room number and surname, no time limit
