Best rooms

Request a room on the higher floors (4th or 5th) for a quieter experience, as these floors are likely to be farthest from the street and potential noise from the city. Also, opt for rooms with a courtyard or garden view, as they tend to be quieter than those with street-facing views.

Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (not Rue Ferruce). These are high enough to avoid most street-level noise and offer a peaceful outlook over the courtyard rather than the busy road. The hotel has 5 floors, so the upper floors are quieter and often have better light.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms near the lift (elevator) as they can be noisy due to the constant flow of guests and staff. Also, steer clear of rooms near the service entrance, as this area can be busier and noisier.

Avoid rooms on the 1st or 2nd floor facing Rue Ferruce. The street is a narrow one-way road with local traffic, delivery vans, and pedestrian activity that can be audible, especially in the morning. Ground-floor rooms may also be near the lobby or breakfast area, adding footfall and kitchen sounds.
