Nice convenient hotel downtown Nicosia!

A boutique hotel built in a historic building in the Cypriot capital. The rooms are quite small but furnished with care and discreet taste. The studio-style layout is charming in its own way, with a sink in the bedroom, next to the television. The welcome letter upon arrival is appreciated, as is the complimentary herbal teas and soaps. The staff is very friendly, and the breakfast is good, albeit with relatively limited selection. Excellent location, ideal for a stroll through Nicosia's historic walls. Recommended.

We stayed here a week ago and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the interior design is nice—the warm paint colors make the space feel very inviting, though the angel motifs on the walls weren't really my style. The Room & Layout: The room was quite a tight squeeze. Both the bedroom and bathroom are small, and it was odd to have only one chair for two adults. The sink is also outside the bathroom, which is an awkward layout choice. One thing to watch out for: the "closet" is an open-style rack tucked behind the TV. You have to be careful when hanging clothes, or you'll likely hit the screen. At check-in, we requested a room on a higher floor, but were told nothing was available—which was surprising since the hotel seemed fairly empty during our stay. A few things to keep in mind: The Heat: The bed was comfortable, but the room was sweltering. We set the temperature to 17°C (the lowest allowed), but it stayed very hot. It seems to be a central heating issue, especially since the hallways were actually chilly. The View: The booking photos were misleading; we expected a balcony but only had a sliding window. The glass was quite dirty on the outside, making the view blurry. There is also construction right in front of the hotel that gets noisy early in the morning—bring earplugs if you aren't an early riser. Rooftop Bar: It was disappointing that the rooftop bar was closed on Sunday night, as we specifically wanted to be there for the sunset. The Highlights: The staff are pleasant and helpful, especially the lady serving drinks at breakfast—she was very attentive. Breakfast was a highlight; the savory options were well-seasoned (the mushroom and egg muffins were excellent), and eating with a view of the Pentadaktylos Mountains was a great experience. The location is also perfect for walking to the main attractions in Nicosia.

- Very clean - Great room service - Excellent breakfast - Rooftop bar service exquisite, the bartender makes the experience

We arrived at 11:30pm and were greeted by a wonderful man named Mike. He was so helpful and always smiling. Made us feel so comfortable. The room we got was spotless, it was so incredibly clean and very comfortable. They did however give us a standard room when we booked and paid for a superior - that’s the only set back we got. Breakfast is on the roof, very nice restaurant and it was delicious. The staff were so nice and attentive. Location of the hotel is great, walking distance to so many places around the city. Hotel is pretty, clean, friendly, and I would definitely visit again. Highly recommended.
