Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before 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.

Insider tips

Arrive early for check-in to ensure a smooth process, as the hotel may get busy during peak hours. Request a room with a refrigerator, as it's not a standard amenity, but it's worth asking for if you plan to stock up on snacks or drinks.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
