Quiet rooms at Further Hotel
Sound insulation at Further Hotel is severely inadequate. Guests consistently report sleep disruption from street noise, hallway sounds, and external noise entering rooms, with poor noise barrier effectiveness even with earplugs.
Consistent negative reports across the entire timeframe from February 2025 through August 2026. No temporal improvement detected. The problem persists uniformly across all review dates, indicating no corrective action or material improvement over the 18-month period.
What the reviews tell us
Street-facing rooms are severely noisy, with one guest reporting sleep impossible even with earplugs, and another unable to sleep for 2 hours before falling asleep from exhaustion
Hallway noise carries audibly into rooms, with guests reporting noticeable sound transmission from both corridors and reception areas
Top floor rooms have critical structural defects, with open roof areas allowing external sounds (traffic, barking dogs, street noise) to enter directly into guest rooms
Hotel acknowledges sound insulation problems by providing earplugs to guests staying in noisy rooms, indicating a known and unresolved issue
Problem appears systemic and persistent, with consistent reports across multiple nationalities and dates from February 2025 through August 2026, suggesting ongoing operational failure (claims across all periods)
Further Hotel exhibits critical failures in sound insulation across multiple dimensions. Street-side rooms are consistently described as noisy and unsuitable for sleep, with one guest from Portugal reporting sleep to be "impossible" even with earplugs. Hallway noise carries audibly into rooms, and top-floor rooms demonstrate particular vulnerability due to structural design flaws—specifically open roof areas allowing external sounds (barking dogs, traffic, street noise) to enter directly. The hotel's awareness of the problem is evidenced by their practice of providing earplugs to affected guests, which itself indicates a tacit acknowledgment that rooms do not meet baseline sound insulation standards. Multiple guests across different nationalities and stay dates (from February 2025 through August 2026) report consistent sleep disruption, suggesting the problem is systemic rather than isolated to specific room placements. No positive claims about sound insulation were documented.
