Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Medusa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
On the 2nd or 3rd floor, request a room on the side of the building opposite the street. These rooms (e.g., 20, 21, 22) tend to be quieter due to less foot traffic and fewer noises from the service entrance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (1) and possibly rooms near the lift on higher floors, as the sound of the lift can be noticeable. Rooms near the service entrance on the 1st and 2nd floors might also be affected by staff activity.
Best views
As the hotel is situated on Tamara Mepe Street, rooms on the higher floors (3-4) facing the street may offer a view of the Black Sea, but this is not guaranteed. Request a room on the side of the building for a view of the surrounding area.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors
🔊 Noise notes
Tamara Mepe Street can be quite busy, especially during peak season. The hotel's location near the service entrance may lead to occasional noise from delivery vehicles and staff movement. Given the 3-star rating, you might not find the latest soundproofing technology, so rooms near the lift or service entrance may be noisier.
Insider tips
Request a room with a balcony for a better view and some fresh air, but be aware that balconies may not be fully enclosed. If you're arriving early, consider parking on the street nearby, as the hotel may not have designated parking spots available.
- 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
