Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Stan Gret, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the middle floors (3rd to 5th) facing the inner courtyard rather than the street. These floors avoid low-level street noise and any roof-level machinery, and the courtyard side is quieter at night.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid the 1st floor (especially front-facing rooms) due to pedestrian noise from the nearby street entrance and potential smell from the lobby. Also skip rooms directly next to the lift shaft on any floor — the lift is likely older and audible.
Best views
Front-facing rooms on floors 4-6 offer a view over the street and surrounding Soviet-era blocks — not scenic but a real slice of Kyiv. Courtyard windows look onto neighbouring buildings and maybe a small green patch; no landmark views here.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 through 5 are the quietest, being above street level but below any rooftop equipment. Courtyard-facing rooms at this height get very little traffic noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street-facing rooms pick up traffic from the main road (likely Shevchenko or a similarly busy street). The lift is audible if you’re next to it; old Soviet lifts clank. The hotel may have a bar or reception noise on the ground floor until late.
Insider tips
1) If you need quiet for sleep, ask specifically for a courtyard-facing room on floor 4 when booking — the front desk can usually accommodate. 2) Bring earplugs anyway; thin windows in places like this let in extra noise. 3) There’s no dedicated parking; use the nearby public garages (ask reception for the cheapest one).
- 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
