Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (away from Huimin Street). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level bustle but low enough to use stairs quickly if the lift is busy. The courtyard side cuts out the clatter of the Muslim Quarter food stalls and motorbikes.

Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing away from the main street. These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but low enough for stable water pressure and quicker lift access. The rear wing typically overlooks a quieter courtyard.

Avoid rooms on the 1st floor — you'll get noise from the lobby, reception footfall, and possibly the small front desk area where guests gather. Also avoid rooms directly overlooking Huimin Street, especially on the 2nd floor: street food vendors start early and run late, with sizzling, chatter, and occasional shouting.

Steer clear of rooms on the 1st floor near the reception or restaurant – street noise and kitchen smells drift in. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor, especially during peak hours.

Free Wi-Fi throughout; average download speed 15 Mbps, adequate for browsing and streaming but not for video conferencing. No login, just select the network and accept terms.
