Best rooms
Request rooms on higher floors (4th floor and above), such as 401, 402, or 403, as they are likely to be further away from the main road and any potential street noise. These rooms may also have a better view of the surrounding landscape.
Request a room on the top floor (floor 4 or 5) in the main building served by the lift. These are furthest from ground-floor reception and the street, so quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (101, 102, etc.) or near the service entrance, as they may be subject to noise from staff and deliveries.
Avoid any room in the heritage wing – it has stairs-only access, no lift, and likely older construction with thinner walls. Also skip ground-floor rooms near reception or the main entrance: noise from guests arriving/departing and the street will carry.
