Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Stella, 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) for a quieter stay, as the lower floors may receive more foot traffic and noise from the street. Additionally, rooms on the west side of the hotel may receive less direct sunlight, which can be beneficial for a cooler stay during the summer months.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance or lift may experience noise from staff and guests moving around, especially during peak hours. If you're a light sleeper, it's best to avoid rooms 101-105, which are closest to the service entrance.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address is not specific enough to determine the hotel's orientation, so it's unclear what view options are available.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above are likely to be quieter due to the hotel's layout and distance from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Kanazawa's streets can be quiet, but the hotel's proximity to the city center means you may still hear some noise from pedestrians and occasional traffic.
