Before you check in to Cabinas, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on the higher floors (3rd floor or above) to minimize potential street noise from the nearby roads. The hotel has a lift, but it's not specified if it's modern or old, so it's best to avoid rooms near it to avoid noise disturbance. If you can, opt for a room with a balcony or a window on the north side to enjoy a view of the surrounding area.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

🪟

Best views
