Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room on a higher floor or at the back of the building to minimise street noise.

  • 02

    Use the free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out to explore the city unencumbered.

  • 03

    Opt for a room with a garden view or at the rear if you are a light sleeper, as front-facing rooms can be noisy.
