Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Waltson Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 5th floor) to minimize potential street noise from Avenida Presidente Getúlio Vargas, which can be busy due to its location in the city center. Additionally, consider rooms facing the interior of the building or the rear to avoid any potential noise from the service entrance or bar area.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the lower floors (1-4) may experience more street noise from Avenida Presidente Getúlio Vargas. Avoid rooms near the service entrance or bar area, as they may be noisier due to increased foot traffic.
