Local knowledge

Request a room away from the street side if noise-sensitive; courtyard/interior rooms are quieter despite the street being generally quiet
Book the hammam/steam room ahead of time as spots fill up quickly, especially for longer stays
Take advantage of the 24/7 coffee and tea station in the lobby before early morning outings; many guests cite this as invaluable
