Best rooms
Request a room at the back of the building (away from the main road through town) on the second floor. This reduces street noise and puts you above ground-floor humidity.
Request a room on the second or third floor at the back of the building, away from the main street. Upper floors reduce street-level noise from motorbikes and passing trucks.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms at the front—they catch motorbike noise, early morning market traffic, and can be stuffy. Also avoid any room directly above the common area if there's a bar or reception.
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the front entrance; the street-facing ones catch noise from traffic and guests coming and going. Also avoid rooms adjacent to the stairwell if the hotel has no lift — footfall echoes.
