Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Chalet de l'Île, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor, as these floors are likely to be the quietest due to the hotel's address on a street that sees moderate traffic. These upper floors are also away from the potential noise of the service entrance and lift.

Avoid rooms near the service entrance, which is likely to be on the first floor, as this area may experience noise from deliveries and staff activity. Also, be cautious of rooms near the lift, as the hotel's 3-star rating suggests it may not have a lift with a sound-insulating system.
