Best rooms
Request a room on floor 2 or 3 facing away from 748-1 (the arterial road). These mid-floors avoid ground-level street noise but still have some distance from the lift lobby.
Request a room on the top floor if available – less footfall above you. Also ask for one facing away from the street, as main roads in Asmara can get traffic noise early.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 (directly behind the entrance/lobby with street noise) and rooms facing 748-1, as that’s a main road with motorbikes and trucks.
Avoid rooms next to the lift shaft or stairwell door; these carry clatter from other guests. Also steer clear of rooms directly above the reception or bar if the hotel has one – evening chatter can drift up.
