Historic Hotels & Resorts in Old Town Paphos from AU$139

"I believe that the place could benefit from a thorough cleaning. I was unaware that there was an alternative pool available, as no one had informed me that the pool adjacent to my studio was undergoing renovations. The check-in process was somewhat impolite. Additionally, I believe that essential amenities could have been provided, such as a tea towel in the kitchen, a proper knife, some toiletries. The air conditioning in the living area was not functioning. The location appears to be rougher than anticipated. Additionally, there was a letter stating that the current owner has been served with notice from an actual owner, and that all guests should refrain from making any further payments to them."

"We loved every part of our stay at the Elysium. It’s a beautiful hotel. Everything from the room, the breakfast, dining options to the pools, spa and wonderfully helpful staff was just spot on. A fantastic hotel which I cannot recommend highly enough. 30 minutes before my departure, I realised I had lost a pendant. We couldn’t find it immediately but on my return home I received an email to say it had been found and would be posted to me. The hotel went above and beyond, I’m extremely grateful and will be back for sure!"

"This property was really nice, and the room has a balcony. There are bus stops close by, and the property is located within walking distance to everything you need. There is a 24 hour bakery/shop next to the property. The staff were wonderful. I was able to get late check out for a fee, this is not always available, it really depends on the availability of the rooms. There are two beautiful pools. I cannot comment on the restaurant because I did not eat there. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and I will be booking again in the future."

"The hotel is 5 minutes walk from the charming pathos old town with it's upmarket restaurants, souvenir and coffee shops. My room was 212 on the second floor served by a lift or stairs. The room overlooked the harbour, was well fitted with a comfortable double bed, en suite bathroom, aircon, plenty of storage, kettle and iron. Towels were changed daily. The room was spotless as was the whole hotel. The breakfast was wonderful with so much choice but the highlight for me was the attitude of the staff, polite, helpful and just couldn't do enough for me. I stayed 2 weeks and enjoyed every moment."

"After checking us in, the staff suddenly had to check with housekeeping if the room was ready, which took 45 minutes, so obviously the room was not ready at 15:00, as stated and had to be panic cleaned. No kind of compensation was offered. They could have just given us something from the bar, but no. The rooms are quite normal for this class of hotel (poorly planned for a family with kids), but who came up with the great idea to have a glass room to the bathroom? I'd really love to not hear what's going on in there, but with an uninsulated glass door you get the full report. This is a bizarre fad that needs to be stopped! The beds are OK, but not great. The sofa beds were quite bad, and the kids complained. Quite a lot of noise comes through the ceiling and from the hallways outside. Fortunately it subsided quite early, so we could have a good nights sleep. The breakfast is meh. On the surface, it looks OK, but nothing is really well made or good. This is a bit like a cargo cult hotel. They have seen pictures of good hotels, but they have no idea how to actually make it good or pleasurable, so it all comes out a bit half baked and it gets weird when the staff has no read at all on the what individual guests actually need from them."

"The hotel is at an excellant location. It was clean and the staff was super friendly and helpful. We were really impressed with the hospitality and kindness of Eleni & Marcos. They were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely recommend the hotel."

"otel itself is very outdated, still needs the physical key to unlock the door. However £40 per night for bed and breakfast with 3 swimming pools. The room has a balcony good view of the pool. Close to centre, just about 15mins walk to the mall, surrounded by restaurants and easy pick up point at kfc for day tours. What else can you ask for? The shower is really weak, takes triple the time to finish the shower. Can use the fridge, which is cold enough. If with budget choose this one. If can pay more, choose somewhere else."

"Wide variety for breakfast. Multiple pools. Friendly staff."

"This holiday was an extra one for us so we didn’t research much about the hotel/surrounding area. We also travelled out of season in April so A La Carte restaurants were closed and the outdoor pool was very cold! Our room was spacious, clean and easy to access on level 1. Took a while each day for house keeping to clean our room (sometimes 5pm) so not always easy to go back to the room to relax in the afternoon if it wasn’t done. Buffet style food everyday, although fresh and nicely presented (especially the salads), did get a bit samey. The walks along the seafront were easy and flat and the bar area by the outdoor pool was kept clean, Natasha one of the bar staff always had a smile for you and very accommodating. Likewise the waiting staff in the restaurant, very friendly and helpful. There was an incident in the outdoor pool and if it wasn’t for a guest member (nurse), there would have been a fatality. No medical equipment (defribulator, oxygen etc) was visible and the lifeguards were not paying attention to the pool, therefore, took ages to respond. The manager Anthony did take the incident seriously and hopefully will now take steps to better train lifeguards and position them for better viewing of the pool (not on the bridge and no mobile phones) It will not stop us from returning or recommending to family and friends. However, we will be highlighting not to rely on other people for safety around any pools."
