Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Factory Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the upper floors (4th or 5th) for a quieter stay. The hotel's location on An der Germania Brauerei puts it near a busy street, but higher floors tend to be less prone to street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance or the lift, as these areas may be busier and noisier. Given the hotel's 3-star rating, it's unlikely to have luxurious soundproofing, so rooms near these areas may pick up more external noise.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's location doesn't offer any notable views, given its address on a relatively small street. However, rooms on the higher floors may have a slightly better view of the surrounding rooftops.
Quietest floors
The 4th and 5th floors are likely the quietest, given their higher elevation and distance from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests may experience some street noise, especially on the lower floors, due to the hotel's location on a busy street in Münster. The concrete floors in the hotel may also amplify foot traffic noise.
