Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Rubis hôtel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on higher floors (3rd or 4th) for a quieter stay, as the hotel is located in a residential area of Boriziny, and the streets can be busy with local traffic. The hotel has a lift, but it's likely to be a smaller one, so being on a higher floor might reduce elevator noise. Additionally, being away from the potential street noise will give you a more peaceful stay.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the street (likely the front side of the hotel) as they might be noisier due to the local traffic. Rooms on lower floors (1st or 2nd) might also be more prone to noise from the service entrance or nearby rooms.
Best views
If you're lucky, you might get a room with a view of the surrounding countryside, but this is not guaranteed. The hotel's address in Boriziny suggests it's not in a city center, so the views might be of the surrounding area.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors are likely to be the quietest, but it's always a good idea to request a room at the back of the hotel to minimize street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for potential noise from local traffic, especially if you're a light sleeper. The hotel's location in a residential area means there might be some background noise from the neighborhood.
Insider tips
1. Try to check-in early to secure a room on a higher floor. 2. If you're driving, there's likely on-site parking, but it's worth asking the hotel about the availability and any restrictions.
- 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

💡 Check inside for a wooden model of the original church, kept near the entrance. Mass is Sunday at 9am, and visitors are welcome to sit quietly.

💡 Go early, before 8am, to see the pirogues launch and avoid the midday heat. No shade, so bring a hat and water.
💡 Bring small change to buy a grilled banana from the women selling at the bank. The ferry runs until dusk, but don't attempt to cross yourself unless you know the schedule.
