I barely heard any noise from people in other rooms, including no tv noise! The primary downside was the unsupportive mattress which was a common experience for me throughout NZ, leading to poor sleep and aggravated bad back, even with all the wonderful pillows. It also made it hard to ignore the sounds of very large trucks driving by or stopping out front, throughout the night. I ended up getting a white noise app and playing it loudly to help drown that out. I would consider ataying again, dependent on room location and probably not for multiple nights."
