Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Moon Star, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (above 5th floor) specifically, the 6th or 7th floor, as they are likely to be farther away from the main road, which runs along the front of the hotel, and reduce street noise. Additionally, these floors typically have a more modern lift, which might be less noisy compared to the older ones on lower floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift, especially on lower floors (1st to 3rd floor), as the older lift can be noisy and may be more prone to breakdowns. Also, rooms near the service entrance on the ground floor might be subject to some disturbance from the hotel staff and delivery activity.
Best views
Due to the hotel's address in Lucknow, there's a possibility of rooms on the higher floors (6th or 7th) offering a view of the surrounding cityscape, although the exact view cannot be guaranteed without more specific information.
Quietest floors
6th to 7th floor
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's location on a main road means that street noise can be a concern, especially during rush hour or when there are local events. Additionally, the older lift on lower floors can be noisy, and the service entrance on the ground floor may generate some disturbance.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a window on the side facing away from the main road to minimize street noise. If you're planning to use the hotel's lift, try to avoid peak hours (usually around 8-10 am and 4-6 pm) when it's likely to be busier and noisier.
- 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

Top Attractions in Lucknow
💡 Cross the road to the elevated footbridge for the best photo angle. Free to view from outside; no interior access.
💡 Free to view from the outside. Visit just before sunset – the lighting on the tower is dramatic. The nearby Hussainabad Picture Gallery (₹50) is worth combining if you have time.
💡 Entry is a minimal ₹5 for Indians, ₹25 for foreigners. The museum inside is small but free with the entry ticket. Carry water – the walk through the ruins takes about an hour.
💡 Go early morning (8-9am) to avoid crowds and heat. Combine with the adjacent stepwell, Baoli – it's included in the ticket but often missed.
💡 Cheap entry (₹10-20). Best visited on weekday mornings – it gets rowdy on weekends. The toy train is an extra ₹10 but worth it for a quick tour.
