Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Boardinghouse Platanenhof, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 3rd floor) for a quieter stay. The Ida-Dehmel-Ring is a relatively quiet street, but traffic noise might still be audible from lower floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the street (Ida-Dehmel-Ring) as they may be subject to some traffic noise. If you're a light sleeper, it's best to opt for a room with a courtyard or backside view.
Best views

Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above are likely to be quieter due to their distance from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
