Best rooms
Request a room on floors 3 or 4, facing the rear (away from Egerton Road). These upper floors minimise street noise and are less affected by car park activity. Rooms ending in an even number tend to be quieter as they face the back garden area.
Request top-floor rooms in the rear wing, away from Farnham Road. Upper floors are quieter due to less footfall overhead.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 (directly above the lobby and bar) and rooms facing Egerton Road (odd-numbered rooms). Also avoid rooms near the lift banks on any floor — the lift motor and lobby chatter can be heard, especially at peak times.
Rooms facing Farnham Road on lower floors (1st and 2nd) suffer from traffic noise, especially in mornings and evenings. Avoid rooms near the lift lobby on any floor.
