TL;DR
You may be able to switch a room facing construction by asking at reception; one guest paid €10 to move to the opposite side of the hotel. Construction reportedly ran from about 10 am to 6 pm, while the cheapest room categories usually face the mountains or road.
If you are assigned a room facing the construction area, ask reception immediately. One guest paid €10 to move to a better room on the opposite, right-hand side of the hotel.
During an April stay, construction reportedly operated roughly from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm and was quiet during the afternoon rest period. Ask about the building location before accepting the room if noise is a concern.
The lowest-priced rooms generally overlook the mountains or road rather than the sea; traffic on the road was reported to be minimal. This can be a way to avoid paying extra for a different room category.
