Best rooms

Request a room on a higher floor (3rd floor or above) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's street-facing rooms on lower floors may be noisier due to the city's traffic. Additionally, try to get a room on the north side of the hotel, which is less likely to receive direct sunlight and may be more comfortable during the hot Algerian summer.

Ask for a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear courtyard (away from Boulevard 1er Novembre). These floors are high enough to rise above most street noise but still accessible via the lift if it's working.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they may be closer to the hotel's service entrance and potentially experience more foot traffic and noise. Also, steer clear of rooms near the lift as the sounds of the lift can be audible in nearby rooms.

Avoid any room on the 1st floor or those directly over the main entrance — the street traffic and late-night footfall from the boulevard carry straight up. Also skip rooms adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor; the mechanism is audible.
