Best rooms

Consider requesting a room on floors 2-5, which are likely to be located away from the street noise on 100 Avenue Northwest. The hotel's 4-star rating suggests a decent level of soundproofing, but a higher floor will provide more distance from potential street noise.

Guests at the Varscona Hotel On Whyte should request rooms on higher floors (above 5) to minimize potential street noise from 106 Street. Given the hotel's 4-star rating and urban location, it's likely to have a mix of room types with varying levels of noise sensitivity. Requesting a room with a west-facing orientation may also provide a better view of the surrounding cityscape.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms near the service entrance on the main floor (floor 1) as it may receive more foot traffic and noise from deliveries and staff activity.

Guests who are sensitive to noise may want to avoid rooms near the elevator (elevated floor 1-3) or on the lower floors (1-4) as these may be closer to the street and potentially noisier.
