Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Olive Cressida, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Requests for rooms on higher floors (4th floor and above) are recommended due to potential street noise on Olive Road. Additionally, opting for a room with a south-facing orientation can provide a pleasant view of the surrounding area.
Rooms to avoid
Guests may want to avoid rooms on lower floors (1st-2nd) and those facing the street, as they may be noisier due to traffic on Olive Road.
Best views
Guests can expect a view of the surrounding area, with the possibility of glimpsing the nearby buildings and streets from higher floors.
Quietest floors
The 3rd floor is likely to be a quiet floor, being the floor above the ground and away from the street, but not too high to be affected by the service entrance or lift noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Olive Road may be a consideration for guests, especially those on lower floors. The hotel's location in Thiruvananthapuram means that the noise level may be higher than in more rural areas.
Insider tips
1. Consider requesting a room with a shower instead of a bathtub, as the hotel's water pressure might be an issue, especially during peak demand. 2. The hotel is located near the city center, so be prepared for some traffic noise, especially during peak hours. If you have a room on a higher floor, you may be able to mitigate this noise.
- 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
