This hotel is actual great. Everything in the room was new, including the bed and AC. There is an option to have a mini fridge in your room for only 3 EUR a day.There is a safe in the room.I know other hotels are charging for internet,safe,AC.They were free here which is great. I recommend it

Good for business trip
Stayed for 3 nights on a business trip. Booked a single room and given one with 3 beds so a bit crowded. Short walk to beach but quite a bit longer if you wanted a popular one with sunbeds etc, Several tavernas in walking distance. Good variety for continental breakfast, continually refreshed. Comfortable and clean, great air conditioning in room.

Quick overnight stay near the airport
We booked this place based on its proximity to the Lanaca airport as we were traveling the next morning. It's quite popular with young people and others who like to stay up late drinking and be very loud. The walls are like paper so virtually every conversation is heard and the loud conversations feel like they're right in the room with you. But when you compare the price of the hotel it's probably a fair exchange for what you're paying.

Don't go there
Overall not pleasant. On my receipt written that there's wifi internet. When I got to the hotel, it turned out that the internet available only in the lobby and you need to pay extra to have it in your room. The breakfast was just bad (of course it was extra charge).

People expects too much from a cheap hotel. If everything works, they will be charging 4 times that amount. So people that are winning should give their head a shake and stay in a 5 star hotel and pay 5 star price. As far as I'm concern. The price is right, the location is excellent, and the bed is not springy or lumpy.

No hot water for a shower for a whole week!
I went to the front desk and complained about not having any hot water. The woman shrugged, and said "tomorrow". Tomorrow never came. So long with no hot water is disgusting. Let me say this. There is no way thar there was a misunderstanding, because I speak both English, and Greek.

Good for Larnaca Airport stopover
This hotel is is in need of a long overdue refurbishment. In saying that if your looking for an inexpensive hotel which is clean with free wifi at reception then it offers good value for money. It is a short walk from the airport bus 425 (Makenzi ) bus stop so good for an airport stopover The hotel can arrange a shared taxi to other areas of Cyprus or the Intercity buses run from a bus stop about 0.8km away at Foinikoudes. (On 425 bus route) it is a pleasant walk to the centre of Larnaca. If your looking for luxury pay the money and stay elsewhere. But I did find the reception staff helpful too.

Hotel is showing end of season wear. Mouldy shower to eye level, but always hot water See through sheets, no mattress cover, possible bedbugs (flea bites are different) Basic breakfast menu Preferred to find a local cafe and pattiserie in the evening

Avoid this place, go somewhere else
I asked for a room on a higher floor when I got there. The hotel had hardly any occupants since this was off season. But I was told "no", nothing is available. My room was very tiny. The walls so thin I could hear the couple in the next room talking in a normal volume voice, hear their TV and hear them in the toilet. My bed was the most uncomfortable I've ever had in a hotel. You could feel the metal springs everywhere. Balcony OK, but no screen door, so I had to shut myself in at night and use the AC which was old and extremely noisy. The lobby stank of stale cigarettes and was always dark in the evening with all lights off. They charge you extra for just about everything... a meager breakfast worth less than half of what they charge, wifi in your room, a tiny fridge, using the room safe, etc. Using the swimming pool is included but they say don't use your room towel... and then don't supply pool towels! But they cheerfully offer to SELL you a towel for an outrageous price. I can't put prices here. But please carefully review all the daily "extras" and add them up. I bet you'll easily find a much nicer more modern place that includes everything for less than the grand total. Also, the hotel is NOT located where shown on google maps. It's 700 meters south directly across from the San Remo. So be warned if you're navigating on your own.

My daughter got involved in a motor accident that resulted in operation. Without their help, how would I have managed? Everything was so easy going and the place is nice and quiet.

Awesome value for money, and great staff
This hotel was a real gem for the price. It is 2 star quality overall, and rough around the edges (fittings in room were aged, door was covered in plywood presumably after some damage etc...), but the important bits were much better than 2 star quality. The air conditioning was powerful, the pool was clean and very pleasant, the breakfast was simple but good, and the food available at other times was very cheap and really good quality. The best part of my stay was the service though, as the staff were lovely. They were very helpful, spoke excellent English, and really added value. The hotel is a five minute walk from the beach too. I would stay here again without question.

This hotel will not make an enjoyable trip!
The place was a WALK from everything in Larnaca. There was no internet in the rooms, plus the bed was horrible. The bathroom was small and when you opened the door to the bathroom it bumped into the sink, you had to fight to get inside the bathroom. There was only one electrical outlet so you had to shuffle your phone/computer and other things if you need to charge them. The staff did not seem to friendly and they acted as if they were "annoyed" to assist you. The breakfast was horrible and there are no resturants in the local area around the hotel. You either had to walk or take a taxi everywhere you went. I would suggest to anyone to stay closer to the city center of Larnaca. I was suggest easyHotel in Larnaka if you are traveling on a budget. The time prior to this visit I had an enjoyable visit. For future references I will be staying at the easyHotel.

Not Impressed
Staff not really very helpful I am sure they didnt even know we only stayed two nights, could not spend anymore time there, very depressing. The hotel and surrounding area was very shabby and worn out, not really sure what the so called breakfast was about. When asked if there was a local map available was told to go to the tourist information office in Larnaca and then ignored. Would suggest if looking for a good holiday don't choose this place.

Cheap and relatively cheerful
The hotel was the cheapest we could find, so we weren't expecting anything too flash. That said, the place was probably a bit better than expected. We only really have two problems with the hotel. The first was that being non-smokers we found the ever present smell of stale smoke a little hard to take. The other was that the beds were VERY firm and just about cripled us. At breakfast the other guests didn't seem to be sufferening as we were, so it may just be us. If you have no problems with a firm bed, I wouldn't let this put you off. Breakfast, included in the price, was very basic, but adequate. All in all, the hotel wasn't bad, but definitely one for people a little younger and more adventurous than we are.

Pretty big hike from the centre
Pretty big hike from the centre of Larnaka and the surrounding area is a ghetto that is dark and uninviting at night. As with the rest of Cyprus public transport is non-existant at the best of times so a car is recommended. Triple room just fitted 3 beds and no more. Bathroom was vile, toilet rarely worked and the shower was hellish(water went everywhere). Breakfast very lacking, not worth bothering with unless you are satisfied with toast, cold boiled eggs, ham and cheese. Staff were very pleasant. Very affordable overall for the stay but definately wouldn't recommend staying longer than a couple of nights!

Hotel muy agradable cerca playa y aeropuerto
Hotel ubicado nuy cerca del aeropuerto y a 2' andando a Kastela beach. El paseo te lleva en 10' a toda la zona de ocio y restaurantes. Staff muy amable, habitaciones renovadas y la nuestra para nada era 2* parecía superior, comodísima. Es muy económico porque los extras se pagan a parte (wifi, nevera, etc) pero para ub par de noches es excelente.

Solides Hotel in Flughafennähe
Für an- und abreisende Gäste günstig in Nähe des Flughafens gelegen. Zentrum zu Fuß in 25 Minuten erreichbar, aber auch Verbindung mit Stadtbus. Hotel ist okay. Die Einrichtung ist zwar etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber funktioniert alles. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und die Sauberkeit tadellos.
