Best rooms
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the Place Auguste Pierre Pont and the Basilica of Saints Nazarius and Celsus. These upper-floor front rooms have the best outlook over the square and the medieval city walls, and are far enough above the street to avoid pedestrian noise from the square.
Rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (ask for 'cour intérieure') – minimum street noise and good natural light. Upper floors also reduce footfall from the lift and street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms at the rear of the hotel, which back onto the service courtyard. These can be dark and may pick up kitchen or housekeeping noise early in the morning. Also skip rooms directly above the bar or restaurant if you want an early night — the bar can get lively until late.
Rooms facing Rue du Comte Roger on lower floors (1st or 2nd) – direct street noise from medieval lane traffic and early tour groups. Also avoid rooms adjacent to the lift well (often marked near the lift shaft on each floor).
