18month old needs to share room with noisy sibling

Hi, maybe a long one sorry. I'm struggling to come up with the right idea here. My 18 month daughter still shares the room with us, in honesty I like sharing the room with her but now she's this age I'm starting to think of moving her. My partner has his daughter from a previous relationship who comes and stays at a weekend, so she would be moving to share with her. She is 7 years old and as you can expect noisy as well, she is loud at home so teaching her not to be here has never worked yet ! how am I meant to move my 18 month old into a room with a noisy sibling who would definitely wake her in the night, 7 year old is also very noisy sleeper, she can't help it.
At a loss here as there isn't another room to share. Her brother, my other stepchild 6 years has the other room.
I don't want to delay my daughter though and make the situation worse by leaving it till she's any older than this, eughhhhh

Any advice would help on how to go about this? As it's not an ideal situation..

Since it is only a weekend and considering her age I think it is totally fine for her to share with her brother. You can review the situation in a year or two when they are all a bit older.
