Best rooms
Request a room on the top floor (floor 4), ideally facing the back of the building away from Kaaminee Magu. These rooms get less street noise and better airflow, with a small view over neighbouring rooftops towards the harbour.
Request rooms above floor 3 on the side facing the internal courtyard (away from Ameer Ahmed Magu). These get less street noise and more natural light than lower floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 and 2 directly facing Kaaminee Magu — they pick up traffic noise from the main road and foot traffic along the narrow street. Also avoid rooms beside the lift shaft on any floor (you can hear the old elevator rumble).
Skip rooms on floors 1 and 2 facing the main road. The street noise from vehicles delivering goods and moped traffic is loud, especially early morning. Avoid rooms directly next to the lift shaft on any floor (the single lift can be audible).
