Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Casa del Sol, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
To get a quiet room at La Casa del Sol, request a room on the higher floors (above the 3rd floor) as the hotel is situated on a relatively busy street, Calle José Ballivian, which may generate some street noise. The hotel has 4 floors in total, so opting for a room on the 4th floor or above should minimize the impact of external noise.
Rooms to avoid
If you're a light sleeper, it's best to avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st or 2nd floor) as you may be closer to the service entrance and potentially hear some foot traffic. Additionally, rooms near the lift may experience more noise from the elevator's frequent use.
