Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Royalty, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (above the 5th floor) to minimize street noise from Prabhat Path. Consider rooms in the east or west wing, as they tend to be quieter than rooms in the central section.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or near the service entrance, as they may be prone to noise from staff and delivery traffic.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Prabhat Path does not offer scenic views. However, rooms on the higher floors may have a view of the surrounding cityscape.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 and above are likely to be quieter, given the hotel's layout and the fact that Prabhat Path is a relatively busy street.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for potential noise from street traffic on Prabhat Path, which is a relatively busy road in Pune. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to the nearby streets may lead to noise from local commerce and pedestrian activity.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a window on the side to minimize street noise. Additionally, if you're sensitive to noise, ask for a room away from the lift, as it tends to be used frequently by guests and staff.
- 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

Top Attractions in Pune
💡 Go on a weekday morning before 10 AM to avoid heat and crowds. The old alley behind the temple has a tiny stall selling excellent kanda poha for 20 rupees.
💡 The train ride costs 20 rupees and runs every half hour. Best to come at sunrise when it’s quiet and the peacocks are active.
💡 Come at 7 AM for the morning aarti (ritual) or at sunset for the light. Carry water—nothing available on the hill. The temple closes between 1 PM and 4 PM for afternoon rest.
💡 The lowest-priced ticket gives full access. Audio guides are free with ticket—take one. Skip the upper floor if short on time; ground floor has the best pieces.
💡 Visit late afternoon for the light show (runs daily, small fee). The ticket queue moves fast if you go right at 5 PM.
