Leipzig is not a busy airport during the day, however at night it jumps into life as a major freight hub. Walking distance form the airport terminal and airport train station, the Campanile is sandwiched between the two runways at Leipzig. Running parallel to the runways, you will end up overlooking one or other runway. The best option is to request a room facing south, that way you are overlooking the busier runway and the DHL hub operation. Rooms ending *12-*27 face south and all other rooms face north. Should you need to look at the other runway, the emergency exits at either end of the blocks afford a view in the opposite direction as well as over the preserved IL18 and the approach at each end. The hotel has 5 floors, however floors 3 and above afford a view. On my last visit I was given room 318.
