Best rooms

Request a room on the second or third floor facing the inner courtyard, away from Via Elorina. These floors typically have less street-level noise and you’re high enough to avoid ground-floor disturbances from the lobby or bar.

Request a room on the third floor facing the inner courtyard. The lift only goes to the second floor, so the third floor is quieter with less foot traffic. Inner courtyard rooms avoid the street noise from Via Malta, which is a busy local road.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the first floor, especially those fronting Via Elorina—street noise and foot traffic will be loud. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft or service staircase, common sources of clatter in a 3-star hotel.

Avoid rooms on the first floor and any room facing Via Malta. The ground floor has reception noise, and the first floor directly above the entrance gets lobby and street sound. Via Malta is a through road with morning delivery trucks and constant traffic.

Free, password at check-in. Speed approx 20 Mbps download — fine for email and browsing, borderline for streaming. Login is per device (no time limit).
