General view

Can honestly say the worse hotel iv ever been to we checked in about midnight to be given directions to our room managed to find it the electrics kept tripping to be told he had to fiddle around with them went to get into bed my bed was covered in Sand the room was absolutely dirty we also was told we could keep the room on till we leave at 5pm obviously was going to pay to then be told we couldn’t the attitude changed on the last day so was keeping us sweet for our stay I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless you don’t mind staying in a dirty hotel and being around rude staff

Don’t go here

Would give 0 if I could.

I stayed here from 20th August 2024 until 17th September 2024 in a studio. Upon arrival I noticed the images on the website are older and the hotel was not in the best condition, however, with the cheap prices this is to be expected. The pool bar was also closed the entire duration of my stay.
My air-conditioning did turn on however barely made a difference, not falling below 27°C the entire first week. I did not tell the reception at first as I assumed that, like everything else in this hotel, it was just old and in need of replacement and all rooms would be the same. There were a few minor problems (electric cut out etc.) and one of the men from reception came up to fix the fuse, I mentioned the A.C and he told me this was not normal and would have somebody come to look at it. After a few days nobody had came to check it so I went back down to reception, where I was told someone would be sent in the morning. The next afternoon, someone came to look at it, for about 1 second and said he would send someone else to fix it, then left. A couple of days later I went to stay a couple of nights Limassol (a different city), upon my return the air conditioning was still not working properly. Now 2 weeks after I was first told it would be fixed, I went and asked the manager, she send 2 people straight away and they fixed it within seconds. Considering it was such an easy fix and the maintenance people had been around my entire stay so far, I was wondering why it took 2 weeks and me speaking to 4 different people for someone to actually fix it (3 weeks into my 4 week stay). 
While on the way from reception to my room with a maintenance lady stopped, pulled a plaster off her foot and threw it on the floor less than a metre away from a bin (photo attached). Firstly, this is disgusting in anyway, however, right in front of a guest just shows the lack of respect for hygiene from staff in this hotel. A week later, this plaster was still there on the floor (also attached).
One evening I saw a mouse running round in my room (photo attached), although I’m sure good hygiene would help, I understand they are small and can get in through small spaces. However, I am seriously unhappy with how this situation was dealt with, or should I say not dealt with. I went down to reception and told the man, to which he shrugged his shoulders and said “there’s nothing I can do”. I clearly was unhappy with this response so he elaborated saying “we’re fully booked and I’m the only person working, so I can’t help you, it’s not a lion, you can leave it until tomorrow”. This response is not only rude, but unacceptable and lazy, it is the hotel’s responsibility to sort this out and not expect a guest to cook, eat and sleep in a room with a mouse running around. The mouse could have diseases, excrete and urinate in my room, as well as chew and damage my things. I went back and asked if he could at lease get a broom or something to shoo it out onto the balcony, to which he responded “wait 5 minutes”, then sent a maintenance man to my room. He knocked on the fridge and rattled it slightly then said “I can’t see it, wait until tomorrow” and gave me a dustpan and brush, then left after about just 1 minute in my room (again showing that they just cannot be bothered to help guest and do not care about hygiene). So I decided to move the furniture around myself to try and find the mouse and guide it outside, however, in the process of moving the wardrobe, the mouse accidentally got squished and died. I threw it out into the bushed where cats were living as I assumed they would eat the remains. I later checked booking.com and a number of other websites to find that there were at least 3 available rooms in the hotel that night that I could have been moved to, however I was lied to, to avoid the staff actually having to do their job and help me sort out the situation.
 The next day, it reached midday and still nobody had been to my room yet, given that for all they know, the mouse is still in my room I was very unhappy, I went to the manager to complain that staff refused to remove the mouse or help me and that it was extremely unsanitary to have left a guest to stay in the room uncleaned with a mouse. Although she did apologise and call a cleaner to go to my room straight away, she did not seem shocked or bothered by the fact that her staff refused to deal with it. She also was unaware of the situation and told me that the man working the previous day had not told anyone or left a note for this to be delt with, meaning that if I did go down to complain they would have left a mouse in my room for the rest of my stay. 
The manager assured me that the cleaner was instructed to move the furniture and clean everywhere with chemicals (which although is the right response, I would have expected this to be done the previous day when I first alerted the man that there was a mouse in my room). However, I decided to look later that evening to see if this was actually done, only to find that where the mouse was behind the furniture was not actually cleaned at all and still had dust, an old coin and dirt (photo attached).
I would also like to point out that the pool was disgusting with slimy algae around the edges (photo attached). The plastic pool surrounds where black and yellow covered in dirt and stains (photo attached). Both myself and a few other guests were also not able to get in the pool for my last few days as it was filthy and became cloudy, slimy and full of bits and dirt (photo attached).

DISGUSTING HOTEL – Staff refused to remove mouse from room. AVOID!

Just Avoid!!!! 
How it’s Four Star I’ll never know!
The staff are as depressing as the hotel itself 
Dirty, tatty, bar service poor, location terrible, nothing else to add!!!

Just Avoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t even think about it!!!

Hotel very dated and in need of maintenance and TLC urgently 
Food - breakfast and lunch had choices but evening meal was unacceptable choices of food need to be addressed urgently 
We had 3 rooms and all had maintenance issues
Hotel staff was excellent trying to help with limited service as they were having to cover restaurant, bar and having to cover reception at times as only having 1 member of staff to cover all areas 
At the present time until they spent money on this hotel to get all maintenance issues completed and some TLC to the building I would not recommend this hotel

September 2024

All I can say is you don’t get what is advertised. It’s run down and very rude staff except form Alex who was very helpful. No gum or sauna no hairdryer not even soap in the rooms .very basic! Pool area is nice and I was lick to meet some great people but I don’t think I stayed in my room at all- only for sleep. The bar and reception and shop staff are just one or two people so it take ages to get served sometimes .cypress is amazing and so is coral bay. If you just want a bed to sleep in then this is your place. Food was awful - eggs were green! Chips were good so I lived off them all week. It’s very no frills and probably used to be a good place to stay but it’s lacking tlc. If you come then do self catering! Go the nearest supermarket and get some bits. Anyways had a lovely holiday and will be back just not here
