Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Numero Uno, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
For a quieter stay, request rooms on the higher floors (4th floor and above) as the noise from the street is less pronounced. Floor 3 is a good option, as it's still relatively high but not too far from the lobby.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, especially those near the street entrance, as they may be more prone to noise from pedestrians and traffic on Calle Santa Ana.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Calle Santa Ana doesn't offer any notable views, so it's best to request a room with a city view or a room on the higher floors for a more expansive view of the surrounding area.
