Best rooms
First-floor or upper-floor rooms facing the river side, as Janjanbureh sits on MacCarthy Island in the Gambia River. Rooms on the east side (away from the main road) are quieter and catch the breeze.
Rooms on the upper floors (2nd or 3rd) are likely a better choice, as they are farther from the Janjanbureh town's potential street noise and may offer a slightly better view of the surrounding area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception or staircase, especially if the hotel has a bar or common area, as they'll pick up foot traffic and noise from staff and guests coming through.
Rooms near the lift (elevator) on lower floors are best avoided as the lift may generate noise and vibrations, and may be more prone to service staff traffic.
