Dekelia Hotel

I stayed here in February on a business trip. The hotel location can be both advantageous (away from the main city centre, but close enough for a €35 taxi ride) and disadvantageous (close to a busy viaduct with some rooms - such as 232 - subjected to loud traffic noise 24/7). The hotel facilities are surprisingly limited. The swimming pool looks very enticing, and has a large poolside area, but in February it wasn’t available to use!. The bar is very poor; poorly stocked (limited range of drinks) and open for restricted hours it seems. The restaurant is not much better. On the only night I ate in, the short menu had several items unavailable, and the waiter’s recommendations seemed to be easy-to-fry (or microwave) options. No wonder mine was the only table in there on the night I ate. Breakfast is a buffet arrangement, however, providing a good range of cereals, fruit (fresh) and yoghurt, as well as both hot cooked options (which change daily) and sliced meats/cheese too. (Tip: get a decent speciality coffee from the bar instead of the low quality coffee out of the canister) My room (232) was functional. There was no “wow” factor about it, other than it had a balcony which overlooked the swimming pool (as well as the noisy viaduct). The mattress was very lumpy and the heavy duvet will appeal to many guests, but not me! The room lacked any pictures on the wall, and I couldn’t find any tea & coffee making facilities, nor any mugs or glasses in the room. There was, however, a minibar which contained two bottles of mineral water! The air-conditioning seems to cut out in the evenings too. Maintenance and housekeeping are above average, but the grand marble entrance lobby is deceptive in that it leads to a very average 3-star hotel which will likely appeal more to business users than leisure tourists.

My partner and I have stayed at the Dekelia 5 times now, for about 26 nights in total. It's become our home from home when we're visiting family in the area and I love everything about the place. George and his team on the pool bar, George on reception, and all the hotel team are wonderful people. The hotel is in a quiet, peaceful location, with plenty of parking for all the guests. The bedrooms all have balconies and excellent power showers. It's silly to look forward to a particular bed, but I love the Dekelia's Coco-Mat beds and bed toppers. I'm guaranteed to sleep so well here. We always look forward to the varied breakfast, then relax with a coffee on the huge terrace overlooking the pool...and what a pool! We've stayed at many hotels with huge fancy pools, but this one is our favourite. Everything is kept spotlessly clean, the music isn't too loud, the pool bar is well stocked, and it just 'feels' right. The ambience is spot on. Did I mention how wonderful George and his team are? I probably did... : )

Ένα κλασσικό ξενοδοχείο με την πολυτέλεια των 4 αστεριών. Πολυ καθαρό. Το δικλινο ηταν αρκετά ευρύχωρο. Το ντουζ δεν λειτουργουσε πολυ καλά. Το πρωινό ήταν ικανοποιητικό. Σίγουρα θα το συνιστούσα!!

Υπέροχο ξενοδοχείο, καθαρό και φροντισμένο περιτριγυρισμένο από πράσινο με μοναδική θέα. Στρώματα και μαξιλάρια από τα πιο άνετα που έχουμε χρησιμοποιήσει σε ξενοδοχείο. Ποιοτικό πρωϊνό! Το προσωπικό φιλικό και εξυπηρετικό. Η Μαρία στην reception μας διευκόλυνε απίστευτα σε ότι της ζητήσαμε. Ευγενέστατη και αποτελεσματική! Το προτείνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα και σίγουρα θα επιδιώξουμε να το επισκεφτούμε ξανά.
