Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Tropic Days, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor, ideally above the 5th floor, to minimize street noise from Bunting Street. Given the hotel's 7-floor layout, rooms on floors 6 or 7 should be quieter. Additionally, consider requesting a room at the rear of the hotel to avoid potential noise from the service entrance.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the lower floors (1-3) may be noisier due to proximity to Bunting Street, which can be busy, especially during peak tourist season. Additionally, rooms near the lift or service entrance on lower floors may experience more noise.
Best views
Rooms on the higher floors (6-7) may offer views of the surrounding cityscape, although the hotel's location on Bunting Street is not directly adjacent to the waterfront or major attractions.
