Best rooms

Request a room on the upper floors (4th or 5th) for a quieter stay, as these floors are less likely to be affected by street noise from Panimotie. Additionally, being on an upper floor will give you a chance to enjoy a slightly better view of the surrounding area.

Request a room on the higher floors (2nd or 3rd) for a quieter stay, as the hotel is located on a street with moderate traffic and the lower floors may experience more noise from the road. The single elevator serves all three floors, so any room on any floor will have easy access.

Rooms to avoid

Rooms near the service entrance and lift may be noisier due to increased foot traffic. If you're a light sleeper, it's best to avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd) or those closest to the service entrance.

Avoid rooms near the courtyard, as they may be subject to noise from guests and staff moving around in the unguarded parking area.
