Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to AKAR HOTEL, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 to 5, overlooking the rear of the property (away from the main road). These upper floors minimise street noise and offer a quieter stay.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor: they face the street directly and are closest to the lobby, with foot traffic and check-in noise. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor — you’ll hear the mechanism all night.
Best views
Rooms at the back offer a view of the surrounding residential area and partial sea glimpses (if the building orientation allows). Front rooms face the busy Oba road, with little more than traffic and shop fronts.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–5 are quietest, as they’re high enough to escape street rumble but below the roof terrace if there is one.
🔊 Noise notes
Oba is a busy resort strip: the main road runs right past the hotel. Expect traffic from 07:00 to 23:00, plus occasional construction noise. The lobby and restaurant area can be lively at breakfast and dinner, but upper floors block most of that.
Insider tips
Ask for a rear-facing room at booking; the front-facing ones are noticeably louder. If you arrive late, use the side entrance (if marked) to avoid the lobby queue. There’s no dedicated parking mentioned, so plan to use the on-street parking on side streets if you drive.
- 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
