Best rooms
Request a rear-facing room on the first floor. The rear side avoids Charlton Road traffic, and the first floor is high enough to dodge pavement noise but still within easy reach of the staircase if the lift is slow.
Request a room on the ground floor (room 102) for easy access and a quieter location, away from the lift and potential street noise from the High Street. Alternatively, rooms on the first floor may offer a balance between accessibility and some distance from the lift and street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the front (overlooking Charlton Road) and ground-floor rooms near the entrance — road noise and early-morning check-out bustle will disturb sleep.
Avoid rooms in the older wing (floors 2 and 3) if you have a large or heavy wheelchair, as narrow doorways may limit movement in some corridors.
