Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to DA JAVA 18, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
We recommend requesting a room on the upper floors (above the 5th floor) at DA JAVA 18, as you'll be less likely to hear the sounds of the town's main road. Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1-3) as they may be more prone to street noise. The hotel's lift is located on the ground floor, but since it's not a high-rise building, you can still expect a relatively quiet stay.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift, especially on the ground floor, as you'll hear the constant sound of people using the lift and entering/exiting the building. Rooms near the service entrance or bar area may also be noisier due to staff traffic and potential late-night activities.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address in Chikmagalur doesn't offer any notable views, but you may get a glimpse of the surrounding hills or the town's landscape from the upper floors.
Quietest floors
Given the hotel's layout, the 4th to 8th floors are likely to be the quietest.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that the hotel is located on a main road, so you may hear some traffic noise from the lower floors. However, the hotel's soundproofing and the town's relatively quiet atmosphere at night should minimize the disturbance.
Insider tips
Request a room with a balcony to get some fresh air and enjoy the town's scenery. Take advantage of the hotel's restaurant, which serves local cuisine and offers a relaxed atmosphere.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principales attractions à Chikmagalur
💡 The attached cafe serves a good filter coffee for 20 rupees. Don't expect interactive exhibits — it's more of a gallery with artefacts.
💡 Visit late afternoon when the light softens and birds are active. No entry fee, but parking costs 10 rupees. Carry water.
💡 Go after a few days of rain for the strongest flow. The pool is safe for a quick dip but watch for slippery rocks.
💡 Start before 6am to catch sunrise and avoid midday heat. Take the steep path behind the temple, not the road.
💡 Leave footwear at the entrance and carry a torch for the dark cave interior. Best combined with a stop at the nearby Manikyadhara Falls.
