Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Tansen Residency, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (above 4th floor), preferably on the east or west side of the hotel, to minimize street noise from Gandhi Road. These rooms are likely to be quieter due to the hotel's location on a main road.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the lower floors (1st to 3rd floor), especially those facing the street, may be noisier due to the proximity to Gandhi Road. Additionally, rooms near the lift may experience more noise from the lift's operation.
Best views
As the hotel is located on Gandhi Road, rooms on the higher floors (above 4th floor) may offer views of the city, although the view may be partially obstructed by other buildings.
Quietest floors
The 5th to 7th floors are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that they are not directly above the street or service areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Gandhi Road is a busy thoroughfare, so rooms facing the street may experience traffic noise, especially during peak hours. Additionally, the hotel's location in the city means that there may be some background noise from surrounding shops and restaurants.
