Five things to check.
- Room position. Stay clear of elevators, service doors, ice machines and connecting rooms.
- What's outside. Ask which side faces traffic, the pool or a delivery area. A high floor can still be below a rooftop bar.
- The entry door. A gap underneath it can let hallway conversations into the room.
- The windows. On a busy street, they need to close and seal well; double glazing alone isn't enough.
- The first few minutes. Listen before unpacking. If you can hear the corridor or traffic, ask for another room.
About the quietness score.
Sleep & Quietness is scored out of 100 and contributes five points to the overall score. A 90 or above suggests a well-placed room should be quiet; the 80s mean room choice matters; below 80, the noise risk is harder to avoid. I consider the room positions and noise sources guests are most likely to encounter.
