Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Elvira, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 5th floor) to minimize street noise, as the hotel is located in the city centre and the surrounding streets can be busy. Additionally, rooms on the east side of the hotel might receive more natural light and a partial view of the surrounding buildings.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they are more prone to noise from the service entrance and adjacent rooms. Rooms near the lift (elevator) might also experience more noise from the constant use.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address in the city centre does not provide a clear view of a notable landmark. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a view of the surrounding rooftops and cityscape.
Quietest floors
Floors 6-10 are likely to be quieter due to being higher up and away from the street level.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests can expect some noise from the street, especially on weekends when the nearby bars and restaurants are open late. The hotel's location on a main street means that some traffic noise is inevitable, but it's not excessively loud.
Insider tips
When checking in, ask for a room with a key card that allows access to the fitness centre, as this is a convenient amenity that not all rooms have access to. Consider requesting a room with a shower instead of a bathtub, as the hotel's shower facilities are shower-only on many floors.
- 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
