Best rooms
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.
Request a room on the top floor (third floor) away from Keneree Magu. These rooms get the least street noise and a sliver of sea view over the rooftops.
Rooms to avoid
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).
Avoid rooms on the first floor facing Keneree Magu. Street noise from traffic and pedestrians will be loudest here, and the view is just the immediate pavement.
