Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Rea Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor, ideally 5th floor or above, due to the hotel's proximity to the city center. This will give you a better chance of avoiding street noise from the main road running through Katerini.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially those near the main entrance, as they may be noisier due to foot traffic and potential service entrance noise.
Best views
Given the hotel's address, rooms on the higher floors (5+), especially those facing north or west, will have a better view of the surrounding hills and the city.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-5 are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that they're not directly adjacent to the main road.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that Katerini's main road can be quite busy, especially during peak season, so rooms on the lower floors or near the main entrance may be noisier.
Insider tips
Try to request a room with a balcony, as this will not only provide a better view but also give you access to some fresh air. If you're driving, be aware that parking can be limited in the area, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure a spot or consider using alternative parking options nearby.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
