Quiet rooms at The Habita
Soundproofing is poor throughout the hotel. Multiple reviewers report hearing street noise, neighbor conversations, footsteps, and gym equipment clearly from their rooms.
Recent reviews (2024–2026) report the same soundproofing failures as older reviews from 2022, indicating the problem has persisted or worsened over multiple years without remediation. The most recent specific complaint (April 2026) still describes rooms as not soundproofed at all.
What the reviews tell us
External street noise (tuk-tuks, dog barking) is clearly audible inside rooms, indicating poor exterior wall or window insulation.
Insufficient inter-room and floor-to-floor insulation allows footsteps, conversations, and movements from neighboring rooms and corridors to be heard clearly.
Traditional retro keys used throughout the hotel create additional noise disruption when guests lock or unlock doors.
Rooms positioned near amenities (gym) are vulnerable to additional noise from equipment and guest activity in shared spaces.
The Habita's soundproofing falls well below acceptable standards across multiple dimensions. Reviewers consistently report inadequate wall and floor insulation, with external street noise (tuk-tuk traffic, dog barking) audible from rooms, and internal noise transmission that allows footsteps and conversations from neighbors and corridors to be heard clearly inside rooms. One reviewer in a room positioned directly below the gym reported continuous disturbance from falling dumbbells throughout the day. The hotel's use of traditional retro keys also contributes to noise issues, as key turning and door locking are audible to neighbors. This is not an isolated complaint affecting a few rooms or one reviewer category—the evidence spans multiple nationalities and review dates, suggesting the issue is systemic rather than temporary or location-specific within the property.
