Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Village By Boa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) to minimize street noise from Rua do Bonjardim. The hotel's lift is a standard lift, so avoid rooms near it, especially on lower floors, to reduce noise disturbance.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the ground floor or near the lift on lower floors (1st-3rd) might be noisier due to street activity and lift usage.
Best views
Given the hotel's address, rooms on the higher floors (4th and above) facing north might have views of the city skyline, but this is not guaranteed due to the hotel's layout and the surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
The 4th floor and above are likely the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that most noise from the street and lift would be muffled at this height.
🔊 Noise notes
Rua do Bonjardim is a main street with moderate traffic, so rooms facing the street might experience some noise, especially during the day. Additionally, the hotel's lift and service entrance could generate some noise, especially on lower floors.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony for a better view and some fresh air, but keep in mind that this might not be available on all rooms. If you're arriving by car, be aware that parking might be limited around the hotel, and it's best to explore public transport or park in one of the nearby parking garages.
- 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
