Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Becquer, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (5th floor or above) as the hotel's address on a main avenue may lead to some street noise from Avenida Guadalupe. Additionally, rooms on the north side of the building may receive some direct sunlight during the day.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance (which may be on the lower floors) could be subject to staff noise and activity. Avoid rooms directly above or below the hotel's bar, which may generate noise until late in the evening.
Best views
Since the hotel's address is on Avenida Guadalupe, rooms on the east or west sides of the building may offer views of the city or the surrounding area, although this is not guaranteed.
Quietest floors
The 3rd to 5th floors are likely to be the quietest, away from the main street and the service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Avenida Guadalupe may be a concern, but it's likely to be manageable with a higher floor room. Additionally, consider that the hotel's location in Zapopan is generally a relatively quiet area compared to other parts of Guadalajara.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a view of the city, but be aware that this may not be possible due to the hotel's layout and orientation. If you have a car, be aware that parking may be limited, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure a spot.
- 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
