Peak / festival surge
July and August are the peak months, with prices for hotels like Savviou Rooms increasing significantly due to the summer holiday season. Events like the Rodos EcoFilms International Film Festival and the Rhodes International Festival drive the peak season, attracting large crowds.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Savviou Rooms, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper floors away from Griva Street. The top floor (likely 4th or 5th) offers less street noise and a quieter sleep. Corner rooms may have better views but check for road exposure.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms facing Griva Street, especially lower floors (1st–2nd). Street traffic in central Rodos can be audible until late evening. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor — audible ding and movement.
Best views
Upper floor rooms with a side or rear aspect may catch sea glimpses or a view of the old town. Avoid expecting a full sea view from a 3-star city-centre hotel; it's likely a partial, urban outlook.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above. The lift serves all floors, so top floors minimise footfall noise. Request a rear-facing room (likely overlooking inner courtyard or quieter side street).
🔊 Noise notes
Griva Street is a main road in central Rodos, with cars and motorbikes. Ground-floor windows and thin glazing amplify noise. The hotel has no soundproofing mentioned, so earplugs advisable for light sleepers on lower floors.
Insider tips
Use the public car park 100m away for €5/night instead of the hotel's €10/night — saves €5 and avoids tight hotel parking. Also, check in early if you want upper-floor options; they go first.
- 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
