    Very clean hotel even though 100 years old. I sprained my ankle at Moufflon viewing and a Sat night on arrival Tony went off to bring back a bandage for me from the clinic - extra service indeed. We all enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

    For a moment we felt bored: Pedoulas village doesn't have much to offer after a couple of hours walking around the village. Of course there are two nearby villages, the villages of Moutoullas nothing more special and of Kalopanayiotis has better nightlife options to eat and drink coffee and such. Not only that the Byzantine and Folklore museums were closed on Sunday midday despite having a sign that says they are open to the public up until 4pm on their websites. Expensive: The hotel that was empty, only my and the other person staying with me despite booking stating it had limited availability. The hotels in Pedoulas, and that applies for the hotels there seem to be full on booking.com but they are empty. I am not sure if this is being done on purpose but it sure helps keeping the rates of the fees at higher tiers. You need a lot of gas and quite some driving time and a road. The trip is kinda exhausting especially if you are not into driving on curvy roads or with a slower pace. If the hotel was cheaper we would have stayed for more days. Unfortunately the high price of the double hotel room was a forbidding number on our budget. Thoughts for revisiting: Yes but not staying in Pedoulas. I highly recommend staying at Kalopanayiotis village. The price differences are kind more expensive there but considering the amount of gas you will spend to travel there for the night to eat, drink, have fun, it is not worth it to stay in Pedoulas. Pedoulas is a must go place for a half day visit. Shall the hotels in Pedoulas lower their rates I will definitely stay in Pedoulas instead of Kalopanayiotis because Pedoulas is more quiet. PS: Cypriot hospitality is to provide Cyprus coffee with a piece of "lizo" (Cypriot version of Turkish delight) or a piece "glyko Tu kutaliou" (Cypriot dessert of spoon) which is usually made by fruit or vegetables or fresh nuts boiled and cooked with sugar and syrup. No drinking water in our room.

    The host Michalis is an one of a kind person. A big child with a golden heart that has genuine passion and love for his village and is also very proud for the heritage of Elyssia hotel. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a complimentary joke by one of the most open hearted employees ever. Additionally the owner treated us with Cyprus coffee. The place is very quiet. The scenery is outstanding. The staff is very friendly and communication in English as an international language was excellent. The breakfast was very generous. Pedoulas is a majestic village, quiet place, discreet people and lots of tasty fresh fruit. The Archangel Michael chapel is a must visit as it is under the protection of UNESCO. There are many places where you can try traditional food for much cheaper prices than elsewhere in CY. I will definitely visit Pedoulas village again. The biggest asset of Pedoulas is its quietness. You can literally listen to the sound of "nothing" there. Pedoulas is also a very green, forestry, cool place even during our infamous scorching. Summers here in Cyprus and air-conditioning despite being provided is a useless option. In my last decade I had my most relaxing sleep at Elyssia hotel. Our room was very clean and tidy. It had a balcony with an amazing village view and a spacious bathroom you rarely find in Cyprus. The balcony and the view from our room's balcony towards the heart of the village is a one of a kind experience. The room had a functioning TV with Cypriot channels. It also had a wardrobe with extra blankets and pillows.

    On pulling back the bed covers, the undersheet, and the mattress, had an unpleasant, 10cm diameter, stain of human discharge. The bed had obviously been made without inspecting, or changing the linen!

    Nothing in particular to like or dislike apart from the following, alarming comment.

    Some furnitures, like chair in the balcony should be changed, because of too old and not safe, but it was not a problem for me. Everything is fine :)

    This hotel is 100 years old and well maintained. The hotel is in a good location, I was satisfied with all the conditions, the room is neat and clean, the owners of the hotel are very helpful and friendly, like the residents of Pedulas themselves. The view from the balcony is amazing. I stayed with my family for 3 nights. The price matched the quality, I recommend it to others. I hope to come again in the future.

    Very good for a standard stay.

    • Stayed 3 nights

    Bed a bit short for me (I am 1.85m tall and my legs were touching the bottom wooden up-stand of the bed). Bed also a bit narrow (standard double bed). No hot foods at breakfast. Common sitting-room in same space as restaurant so at times it gets a bit noisy. If not lucky enough to find one of the two private parking slots in front of the hotel available, you would have to park on the main road in front of the hotel (the road is generally narrow, with double yellow lines, but that seems to be the practice in the area..).

    Generally nice building. Generally quiet. Although old it was very clean. Small, basic bed-room with balcony with nice view. Large bathroom, large shower space with great water pressure and good quality doors and hot water. Good continental (cold foods only) breakfast. Fire-place in sitting-room. Nice host. Heating (a/c) worked well. TV worked well (but received very few stations only). Great location. Fantastic view from central, common balcony. Two private parking slots in front of the hotel. Generally very good if you want a place to crash for the night and spend your day exploring the village or the surrounding region!
