I stayed in the Standard Queen Room and it is very small and noisy. When i asked the staff about it they confirmed that all the standard rooms on the side are smaller and noisier (because they are next to the hotel's air cons) than the king size rooms that face the street. Level 2 is the quieter rooms. Very disappointed that they didn't tell me this when i booked and hardly slept because of the noise.
