Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Chic Studios, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th floor) for better views of the surrounding area and reduced noise from the street. The hotel has a lift, but it's likely to be smaller and slower, so a higher floor room will also reduce the likelihood of encountering other guests or staff.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift, as it may be smaller and slower, and you may hear the sound of it operating throughout the day. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance may experience noise from delivery and maintenance activities.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address of Queluz doesn't provide a clear indication of the hotel's orientation or any notable views. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a view of the surrounding area, which could be pleasant, but it's unlikely to be spectacular.
Quietest floors
The 4th and 5th floors are likely to be the quietest, given their proximity to the upper end of the hotel's layout and away from the lift and service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
Given the hotel's location in Queluz, you may experience some street noise, especially from the road leading up to the hotel. The sound of traffic and occasional sirens may be noticeable, especially in rooms on lower floors.
Insider tips
Consider arriving early for check-in to ensure you can secure a room on a higher floor, as these tend to be allocated first. Ask the staff about parking options, as the hotel may have a limited number of on-site parking spaces, and nearby public parking options may be available, but at an additional cost.
- 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
