Tired Hotel but Great Location
Hotel is in a great location with free parking which is why I chose it. Check-in was smooth and size of the Executive room was good. I asked for a twin room but ended up with a double. Decor is very tired looking. The AC in our room was very noisy and dust seemed to be coming out of it. Breakfast buffet was average. As we were only staying one night it was OK. Hotel is close to restaurants, bars and the border.

Good hotel, but quite expensive for value
Great location near Eleftherias Square and Ledra Street, near the bus station. Unkind flat-faced receptionists. All of them all the time. Lack of kindness was the worst thing in this hotel. Comfortable bed, chair and desk, good bathroom, but too little soap (and they didn't bring any new soap on day 2, I had to ask on day 3). Good wall-mounted AC system, which has a wall-mounted control system. Fridge and some doors were quite worn-down. Very poor TV channel selection: <10 local channels. No international channels available. Nice blue (sleep) light function mounted on the wall. Plenty of lights and switches. 2 bonus small water bottles in the room were nice to have! Quiet hotel, quiet, but unsafe looking street full of creeps and an alcoholic drinks shop. Good, but quite single-sided breakfast with few fruits or vegetables.

Great location, rooms a bit dated
A great location with car parking next to the hotel. The rooms are very dated but adequate. The tap in the bathroom dripped continuously for the 2 nights we stayed and right outside in the corridor is a big wooden plank or something under the carpet that when somebody walks over it, it bangs. It woke me up both mornings and customer relations did say they would look in to it. However, I cannot be the first person to complain about it, because it bangs every time a person walks past, 24 hours a day. Very annoying! Breakfast could have been so much better. (fresher bread without hard crusts, fresher eggs (like rubber), fresher scrambled eggs (looking very grey and tired), cook the baked beans before putting them out, and tinned mushrooms are simply a cheap option. Fresh mushrooms are much nicer and edible).

The Staff of the Hotel was excellent. My wife and I had a great time there. In my opinion, there is enough car park space for at least ten cars. Entry and exit are barrier controlled. Breakfast timings and the items available also excellent. Okay it's not the Hilton, but in it's own way, it is well worth staying there. Not very expensive, but really value for money. I would be very happy to stay there again.

If you are rating a hotel accommodation as a 5 out of 5, it would generally indicate that your experience was exceptional and exceeded your expectations in every aspect. You likely had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay with excellent customer service, amenities, and overall quality of the hotel.It's important to note that everyone's expectations and experiences can vary, so a 5 out of 5 rating may not necessarily be reflective of someone else's experience at the same hotel.

Worst hotel in Nicosia I have been to
The rooms and hotel in general are in terrible conditions. Cracks in the ceilings in the rooms and in general areas of the hotel. Many facilities are closed (due to pandemic or because of low demand?) Soundproof in the hotel does not exist. Windows go to the tiny well between the hotel and next building, where all the smells from the kitchen are extracted too. Some bed linen and towels were dirtly. Breakfast is ok though.

The staff were very offish for the first few days of our stay but were a bit more aproachable towards the end. This may have been because i returnred our pillows, within a few minutes of arriving, and showed them how badly stained they were. They did not have any pillows availble at that time, but they were swapped,in the morning, for new ones. We still couldnt sleep though, because the beds and new pillows were so hard. Also, there was zero cleanliness in the rooms and in the corridors. The bathrooms stank of sewage. The floors were only mopped on the day before we left-and that was with a mouldy smelling mop. They may have tried mopping because i wrote, in the dust on the headboard, Clean me! The lobby and breakfast area were clean though. The breakfast was nice.

Overall just bordering on average. Room was not very clean. TV and hairdryer not working at all. The air conditioning was not working and the room was very hot during the day and night. On reporting faults to reception we were told the air conditioning in the hotel was not yet in operation with the others matters the reception we received a shrug of the shoulders.

The central location of this hotel near all the attractions of the old town in southern Nicosia, and the pedestrian crossing to the northern Turkish side of the city across the 'UN Green Line' is EXCELLENT! There are many interesting sights, restaurants and shops nearby on both sides of the border, and the old town is very walkable. The hotel itself was comfortable and clean with helpful staff and a good breakfast (included with our booking). The hotel also has free adjacent parking, which was perfect for accommodating our rental car while we visited Nicosia as part of our journey around the island of Cyprus (south and north zones).
