Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Bee Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) for a quieter stay, as the hotel serves all floors with a lift and there are no stairs-only historic sections. This will help minimize potential street noise from the Eleftherias street.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the elevator or service entrance may be noisier due to constant activity, so consider avoiding rooms on the 1st or 2nd floors if you're a light sleeper.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's location on Eleftherias street does not offer any notable views, given the surrounding urban context. However, rooms on higher floors may have a view of the surrounding rooftops.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that higher floors are less likely to be affected by street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise from the nearby Eleftherias street, which is a relatively busy commercial area in Limassol. The on-site parking fee of €15 per night may also contribute to some noise from the hotel's parking area.
Insider tips
Arrive early to secure on-site parking, as spaces are limited and fill up quickly. Request a room with EV charging available on request (€2 per hour) if you need to charge your electric vehicle, but be aware that this service may incur an additional cost.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
