3 not 4* hotel, tired in places but good food

Advantages: Excellent food. Good value for money.
Disadvantages: Overcrowded swimming pool area. Pool area very slippery.

We recently stayed at the Louis Phaethon Beach Hotel, Paphos. We thought the hotel was ok and good value for money but its best point was the food. The carpets in the corridors could be replaced as they were rather tired. The paintwork could be repainted particularly around skirting board and floor areas. But the hotel was generally clean. It has reasonable seating areas although a lot of the loungers were big plastic cushioned seating rather than ...
...had a nice room overlooking the trees around the pool. It was a little close to the outside bar area so if you wanted an early night you would hear noise from people talking and any entertainment that might have been going on. This didn't bother us as we didn't go to bed till late and the airconditioning and my earplugs (Husband snores) drowned any outside noise out!! Some of tiles in the bathroom were broken and damaged. The bed was a bit on the ...

Review of Louis Phaethon Beach Hotel, Paphos

Everything you would expect from a 4 star hotel

Advantages: Location, facilities, standards
Disadvantages: Not really suitable for families

Excellent location right on the beach, good facilities and used for business conferences too. Food is good although can be repetitive, I would suggest bed and breakfast, they offer an excellent choice for breakfast. Very relaxed friendly service, although I do feel at times this was slow, one member of staff didnt speak very good English I wouldnt have minded but they were not local either, think they need to look at this in a 4 star hotel. The rooms ...
...changed daily. There is internet access from your room if you want it or you can use the hotels payable pcs for interenet. I would say for standards and location and also luxury I would rate this a 4 star plus. The hotel is located amongst 5 star hotels with a number of restaurants, bars and tourist shops nearby, there is also a bus stop right outside the hotel. I would probably recommend this more for couples rather than families. Overall a good ...

Review of Mediterranean Beach Hotel, Limassol

Lovely hotel in a quiet location

Advantages: Relaxing, well maintained, clean, very friendly atmosphere, decent food
Disadvantages: Location could be too quiet for you, not really geared towards children

Very friendly hotel, a place where you can really relax and get away from it all. The rooms are clean, well maintained and pleasant, very nice views if you book sea view. If you are travelling with a young family the family rooms sleep 4 but and although not really spacious they are comfortable enough for four people. Standard rooms sleep up to 3, the third bed, as in most hotels, is a pull up bed. Facility wise they have a decent selection from ...
...tennis court, sauna, crazy golf amongst others...all really well maintained. The service is friendly and attentive, more like a family run hotel, a personal touch, The food isnt bad either, there is a good selection at breakfast and during the summer you can enjoy your meals outdoors. It does get really humid at the height of the season in Paphos so you might prefer to sit indoors in the evening. Location wise its near the beach and well set back ...

Review of Queens Bay Hotel, Paphos

A stunning hotel and location!

Advantages: stunning accomodation and service

The Columbia Beach Resort to look at is made of stone and wood and looks very grand. There are bellboys who will take your luggage and welcome drinks when you arrive!

It also has access to the small pebbley/sandy beach. The pools are freshwater and not heated oor is heated from November. The ...
...lovely and were interconnecting for our children. We had a massive square bath and a big shower in EACH ROOM as well as a superking bed. The rooms were made up by housekeeping TWICE each day and everywhere and everything kept very clean. There is also wifi in your room. As for the food WELL where do i start! Its amazing! There are 2 restaurants, the apollo taverna which is more casual but still like eating at a fantastic restaurant and then the didiynos ...

Review of Columbia Beach Resort, Pissouri

A Beautiful Traditional Greek Mill

Advantages: Fantastic Situation, old world charm and good food
Disadvantages: A Bit off the Beaten Track - will neeed a car

...while we were heading for the village of Troodos and decided that it was time to stop as the evening was closing in and we hadn't found any suitable accommodation. The road left would have taken us into Troodos but we took the right turning to Kyperounda and followed the hilly road down the mountain. If you take the left turn at the bridge you will enter the village of Kakopetria. This is where the Mill Hotel is situated and what an unusual sight ...
...sight when looking up to the top floor. The building has been renovated as originally the old Mill stopped working in the 1950's as milling became expensive and imported flour became available. This led to the mill closing down and eventually it fell into disrepair until it was bought by private owners. In 1979 work started on the derelict building to renovate it back to its beautiful Greek traditional style. The wonderful piece of architecture is ...
