I enjoyed every minute of stay in this hotel! We planned our trip to the Troodos mountains this Autumn to see all the colorful trees and waterfalls. The hotel is located 300 meters from Caledonia waterfall trail and in a walking distance to restaurants. Personnel was friendly and super-helpful. This hotel is great for families and kids. They've installed a new boiler system so the water was hot and heaters worked perfectly. A proper bathtub was a pleasant surprise and added to an overall impression. The breakfast buffet was decent and diverse. The family weekend we spent there is one of the great memories.

Alexandra, Russia

All very good but I wish the breakfast had more variety like scrambled eggs, sausage, fried eggs etc.

Diomedes, Cyprus

Located on a very nice area of Platres Inside the forest. The view of the veranda is amazing. The architecture of the hotel is very impressive with large windows and wooden floors.

Chara, Cyprus

The location is idyllic. Hotel is surrounded by nature and its incredibly peaceful.

Tzveta, Qatar

Pinelopi, Cyprus

3, 5 and 7 year old on an adventure. This hotel has had done bad ratings and done seem unfair. It is what it is. An old 1930s built hotel in the mountains offering fresh air, history and a get away from the beaches. It is not modern but the charm over rides this and I don’t think it should be. The Morris minor parked out the front, together with the family history on the walls and the tree growing out of the dining room show nostalgia and history. Real treat from 18-30s packed on the beaches of Pathos!

Abbie, United Kingdom

A very beautiful hotel at a very nice spot, close to the center of the village and in the nature. Nice, clean and comfortable rooms with beds downstairs and a sitting area above as well as a small balcony. The staff is very friendly and polite. As for the breakfast they serve Cyprus breakfast with a variety of nice herbal teas. I would visit it again.

About the hotel - the price - the atmosphere - the absurd level of dirtyness - the breakfast which was the same as the attitude - showers that did not work and no water - nothing - it does not matter how the hotel looks - with such severe lack of such basic requirements - there is nothing of note that can be liked - the location does not detract from the attitude and environment No water - shower did not work - dirt - hairs - dust - etc everywhere - had I not been with my partner I would have left after 5 minutes and found somewhere else - no tea or coffee facilities in the room - no extra pillows or bedding - everywhere was dark like a morgue with the same atmosphere If asked to pay more than €30 - you are being robbed - hostels have more to offer

The rooms need renovation urgently. They smell mold, the beds were ok but the bathroom is very old. There is no elevator and we had to curry our small children on the second floor!
