“I’d prefer not to stay in the room at the end of the hallway.”
Typically, hotels arrange their rooms from the outside in, and the rooms at the end of the hallway tend to be less occupied, less maintained, and can be colder and lacking in natural light.
In addition, in case of emergencies such as earthquakes, escaping from the rooms at the end of the hallway may be more difficult. You can request the reception to arrange an alternative room for a better experience.
Hotel hallways can be long and winding, leading to less occupied and maintained rooms at the end.
“I’d also avoid rooms with lots of sharp corners.”
Rooms with angular or non-rectangular designs can feel uncomfortable due to their impractical structure. If you prioritize comfort and ease, it’s best to inform the reception and request a more suitable room. These tips will ensure you have a more pleasant and relaxing stay.
Angular and non-rectangular room designs can create an uncomfortable and impractical space.
“I usually steer clear of rooms near the elevator.”
Elevators tend to be high-traffic areas, and the constant foot traffic can result in noise, especially at night. This disturbance can interrupt your sleep and impact your overall rest. Additionally, drunk or rowdy guests tend to congregate near elevators late at night, and the resulting noise can be disruptive to nearby rooms. Therefore, when choosing a hotel room, I always try to avoid those located near the elevators.
