Choose a square-facing room rather than a street-facing room for a quieter outlook, while expecting possible restaurant music.

Bring a warm jacket or jumper in cooler months, especially October.

Ask for exposed wooden ceilings or traditional furnishings if those architectural details appeal to you.
