Hotel 2-Bintang di Daerah Paphos, Cyprus

La experiencia en este hostel fue horrible. Estaba sucio, es muy poco seguro ya que por la noche se permiten hacer fiestas con gente bebiendo tanto de hostel como invitados de los clientes. Estuvieron de fiesta hasta las 3 o 4 de la madrugada sin dejar dormir a la gente, no había nadie para poder quej**** durante la noche. Como es obvio por la mañana nos levantamos y estaba todo lleno de los restos de la fiesta, bebidas, vasos sucios… Nos quejamos a la dirección del hostel, la cual nos ha mareado hasta el dia de hoy, ya que nos dijo que nos iba a devolver el dinero de las dos noches que pasamos allí y no hemos obtenido ninguna respuesta ni compensación por parte de ella. No lo recomiendo para nada.

I arrived very early, 9.15am, without giving the hotel a heads up because I had no idea when I would arrive in Pafos. I told them I'd like to store my luggage while I explored the town, but they told me they upgraded my room, and it was already ready. When I explained I would leave early the next day, they were happy to swap my breakfast so I had breakfast on the day of arrival. The large bottle of water (with free re-fills in the lobby) and socket adapter were a nice welcome, and much better than I've experienced in other hotels. The room was very clean and cleverly organized. I particularly liked the bathroom. The location is a bit far from the beach and some of the major tourist attractions, but in exchange you avoid the crowds. They had no problem arranging early checkout before the reception was open. The night security guard even offered me coffee when I left hours before breakfast would be served.

We have just returned from the Souli Beach Hotel which is situated right on a very, very stoney beach, impossible to walk comfortably on, or go in the sea without beach shoes. The hotel is also situated right next to a very busy main road, so having a room overlooking the front of the hotel, bring ear plugs as morning rush hour traffic extremely noisy. Sea view rooms at the back of the hotel are very nice, but do not get any sun at anytime of the day. Rooms are very dated needing repair and update, someone said it's the same decor and bathroom tiles from when the hotel opened in 1960. We had a 3rd bed in our room which made moving around a tight squeeze. But on the up side the shower is good. The tv in the room only has 1 channel in English and programmes are hit and miss, no news channel, everything in Greek. There is nowhere on the balcony to dry towels, swim suites and the like, an air dryer would be nice to have. Rooms on pool side due to lack of sun find drying anything takes a while. We were disappointed that there was no lounge area with comfortable chairs and sofas where it would have been nice to sit and have a drink, there is a table, a two seater setter and a few plastic chairs, in fact a lot of plastic chairs everywhere. The pool is clean, plenty of sun lounger by the pool and on the lawns. The lawn area and gardens are lovely but A bit of landscaping wouldn't go amiss. Path ways on to the lawn would be nice as there are areas where the grass is very boggy, I lost my flip flop, and for an older person unsteady on their pins as the ground is uneven. Beware of the sprinklers that turn on between 3pm and 4pm. We ate twice in the resteraunt and that was enough. There are 2 wonderful resteraunt one next door The Peryiali Beach, the other a little further down Yialos resteraunt their food was excellent and Souli could take a lesson or two from them. Breakfast was plentiful but same old same old, a change would be nice. Can not fault the staff and service, very polite and helpful Just one word about the ladies and man who cleaned our room FANTASTIC. Souli Beach is suited more for adults, not much for children, not a child insight while we were there, the average age is 50 plus. Souli Beach with a little imagination, effort and of course money could be a really fantastic small family run hotel, with style and comfort, but it appears to rely on repeat clients and coach tours for lunches, and we feel it's getting a bit complacent about its upkeep, and appearance. We talked with other guests who also felt the same as we did. So as a first timer here, unfortunately we will not be returning unless a lot of improvements are made.

A very good stay here, looks like there has been a lot of work put into making the hotel look so good. Unfortunately there is no pool or bar at the hotel. You can use the sister hotel which is about 10 minutes walk away. The room 101, was very comfortable and clean, with a balcony which had sun all day with a bit of shade in the doorway. The shower/toilet is smallish a large person may struggle entering the shower. The room was cleaned each day and towels every 2nd day, however you could ask for a daily change of towels. No fridge in the room, you need to rent one, Air Con was efficient particularly as it was hot and humid at night. Desk Staff were very friendly and a request for extra pillows was answered very quickly. Housekeeping staff were also friendly however their english and my Greek wasn't very good. The only downfall was our expectation of what the buffet breakfast was going to be. In my opinon it was basic, Bread/toast, spread, jams, olives, grapes, bananas (missing one day as not enought), yogurt, 2 x cold meat, 1 x cheese, cucumber, tomato, 2 x cereals, Juice, water, small pastries and tea/coffee. Going by the turnaround of people we saw using the hotel it would seem to be a popular place to stay for short breaks 3 - 4 day. No noise from the nearby bars or restaurants and the roadway being one way was also quiet. There was some building work next to the hotel, unfortunately thjere were a couple of early starts. No lift, I believe there some ground and the rest are first floor rooms. Contary to a previous review there was no evidence of this being a destination for boozy brits seeking a cheap holiday. It is near to Bar street, however there are lots of nice restaurants nearby. Would certainly use the hotel again, perhaps without the breakfast option.
