Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Martha, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th floor or above) to minimize street noise from the Avenida de Independencia. Old buildings in Holguin's city center tend to have creaky wooden floors and thin walls, making higher floors a better choice for a quieter stay.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance and lift, as you'll hear the constant comings and goings of staff and guests. Street-facing rooms on lower floors (1st-3rd) may also be noisier due to the traffic on Avenida de Independencia.
Best views
There are no specific view options mentioned in the data, but rooms on higher floors may have a better view of the surrounding city skyline.
Quietest floors
3rd floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
