In August, the month when millions of tourists fill hotels in Portugal and abroad, a travel expert leaves advice: Avoid hotel rooms ending in 01, such as 101 or 201, because they are usually the noisiest because they are with elevators and stairs.
Alert of those who have slept in more than 200 hotels
The warning was given by Javier Sobrino, known on social networks on the page discovering travels and the experience of spending over 200 hotels on various continents. Speaking to Spanish radio Cadena Cope, cited by the Spanish newspaper 20minutos, the expert explained that not all rooms offer the same tranquility.
Among the examples it leaves, it highlights precisely the divisions ending in 01. These are usually in the corners, next to the elevators and the stairs exits, constant passing zones that generate noise.
“Each time a guest passes will hear him. Until the elevator’s operation is audible in some of these rooms,” he explained, quoted by the same source.
How to choose a quieter room
According to the expert, if the goal is to rest, one should try to avoid this type of accommodation. If one of these divisions is attributed, it is recommended to immediately request the exchange to a room at the end of the corridor or to another that offers greater acoustic insulation.
The benefit of the highest floors
Another advice left by the expert is the location inside the building. In hotels located in central city areas, opt for rooms on the upper floors significantly reduces the impact of urban traffic.
According to the Spanish newspaper, the height helps to mitigate the sound of cars, motorcycles and public transport, providing a quieter environment. For those looking to rest after long days of tour, this detail is considered decisive by Javier.
Small details
Javier Sobrino’s advice reinforces the idea that the accommodation experience goes beyond price or star rating. The strategic choice of hotel room can substantially improve the stay, especially in periods of great tourist affluence.
