Facilities were not great, two toilets for the entire hostel. It did seem to be a work in progress so hopefully this is improved upon. Entry wasn't particularly secure, a single shared key for each level was kept in a lock box with a code at the door, relying on every person going in to leave that key in place, and to scramble the code after use. Dorms did not have locks at all so it was only that front door providing security. There was also an older gentleman wandering around in various states of undress and washing his clothes in the kitchen sink on my last day which was very odd and quite uncomfortable. Worth noting the hostel is also quite far away from most things. 'Old Town' and main bus station are within a 10-15min walk, but the coastline and archaeological sites are a lot further, definitely worth learning the bus system (daily tickets are good value).

Staff were friendly (family run I think), nice general vibe at the hostel. The back courtyard is gorgeous, lots of space to socialise and meet people. My dorm room even had a balcony with a sea view (very distant, but still lovely, especially at sunset). Bed was comfy and seemed newly built, locker was plenty big enough for a backpack. Kitchen was in a bit of disrepair but functional enough to cook some pasta.

The fridge was filled up with a lot of left over food that people left behind and no one cleaned it up, although it wasn’t rotten or anything, just hard to find space to put your own stuff.

The host was very kind and helpful and the space of the garden is great for relaxing throughout the day. The rooms were nice and tidy - linen and AC provided.

I wasn't expecting much as it was a last minute booking but the room was good, the back garden excellent and to my delight it was very quiet

The pillows were really too thin. Because of the garden the room was full of mosquitoes, bring a repellenbt to have a good sleep. Toilets need to be cleaned more often, to all the guests are respectful of others unfortunately...

Nice room with air conditioning, comfy bed, pretty clean. Beautiful garden to relax. Friendly staff, close to old town center and Karavella Station.

It would be handy to have a power socket or an extension for the top beds, my cable wasn't long enough, but there are plenty of sockets in the rooms and common areas.

The hostel is very nice, with a beautiful garden and a lot of common areas. There are two kitchens and four bathrooms and they seem to be enough for the people staying. Staff is super friendly and they are always available either on the phone or in person. Location is very good if you want to stay in the old town and convenient for the bus station as well. You can walk to the beach if you don't mind a 20/30min walk, otherwise there are buses.

The hot water tank would empty by night time so the showers weren’t as warm

Loved it and would stay again. Less than 20 min walk to main bus terminal and harbour/tourist area. Surrounded by many restaurants. Amazing views from the balcony. Clean, spacious, aesthetically pleasing, and the staff was easy to communicate with! Excellent service, location, and stay overall. I would stay again.

The property was self check in so I never interacted with any staff. It wasn’t a great place for solo travelers to meet others. It’s located up a hill about a 30 minute walk from the sea. There’s only 1 male and 1 female bathroom. The air conditioning is set to 26°C and only on during specific hours.

The hostel has an amazing garden terrace where you can chill. It’s not far from the main bus station and the new town.

The hostel is located on top of a hill and you have to climb with your bags if you are coming on foot. Also, the hostel is not air-conditioned, only inside the rooms and it is open only at certain times, not all the time.

Friendly receptionist

It can get a bit noisy when people insist on using the shared bathroom & shower in the middle of the night, talking loudly, but being a hostel, that is to be expected, that s more to do with the lodgers than the hostel.

The room was very cosy & clean, with nice shutters & blinds to keep the light out. The garden is perfect & well kept. The manager keeps a close eye and fixes any problems that occur immediately.

On the upper floor, where we stayed, there were only two full bathrooms for all the rooms, which felt insufficient. During our stay, the bathrooms were never vacant -we always had to wait for one to become available. The terrace with tables and chairs is beautiful, but since it is directly adjacent to three rooms, it can become a noise issue late at night. We experienced guests chatting there for hours and even taking phone calls well past midnight. The same happened in the living-dining area, where conversations and activity could be heard beyond quiet hours. We also overheard loud disputes in the bathroom right across from our room (for example, about how long people were taking), along with a lack of consideration when people slammed doors going in and out. Although there are signs reminding guests of house rules and proper behavior, some people either don’t read them or simply ignore them. A clear example of this is the quiet hours policy, which unfortunately was not respected at all. In our case, this was particularly frustrating because we had to leave the hostel at 6:30 a.m. for our flight, so we needed to get a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, we slept very little, which made the noise much harder to overlook than it might have been otherwise. We still appreciate the staff’s efforts, and we believe that with a few adjustments, this hostel could offer a much more peaceful and comfortable experience for all guests.

We truly appreciated the friendly service, as well as the room itself -spacious, air-conditioned, and in good condition. Before our arrival, we received clear directions on where to park our car in a public parking lot just a few meters from the entrance, which was very convenient. We also valued the well-equipped kitchen, which had everything needed for preparing simple meals.

The only bad thing was about the plugs, at least in my room there were none near the beds, only a big one in the corner

The cleanliness of the beds was microphobic-proof, the garden also was the cutest thing i've ever seen in a hostel

The hostel is a 2-stories house very well-taken care of that mixes normal furniture with with renovated, classic one. Each floor has its own kitchen, living room and female/male bathroom. The garden is really big and spacious. The staff working at Hostl, from the manager to the cleaning lady, are super nice and attentive, really eager to help and super sweet to talk to. The location is in the Old Town, next to the popular Muse restaurant with great views of Paphos. It's a quite area but in 5min walking distance your are at the heart of the Old Town. Not only I recommend it but I would totally go back again! Thanks a lot for everything :)

Some people are too loud. They started cooking at 6:30 am and till 10:30 pm and my room was near the kitchen.

The location

Stayed in July 2025

The noise made by the guests during late evening (mobile phone on, ringing everytime with messages, alarm constantly everyday.I think this is a lack of respect and this should be reinforced by the host. It was also very uncomfortable that one women brought a men inside of the room at 1pm. This is unacceptable. I booked a Female dorm!

The female dorm is good despite is a bit small for 6 people

SECOND ALERT: Within minutes of posting my review, the owner wrote me on Whatsapp (he had no permission to do so) & told me I was negatively affecting his business & needed to change my review . I told him that was not acceptable business policy & asked him to stop harassing me. Then he told me that "he could see why I left a 3 star now that he'd chatted with me," inferring I was a jerk. Facts. End of the story. BUT I felt bad, so I changed my review so his business wouldn't suffer. I was imagining this poor family man, struggling to survive... I heard children screaming crying at 5 a.m. above my head (which I kindly didn't mention in the review) & was concerned for those kids. But since he's so quick to complain about me changing my review to a 7 from a 3, maybe I should change it BACK... And I will, sir, if you don't let this be. You're making your business look extremely unprofessional. You are embarassing yourself. No professional acts this way. It is not okay EVER to contact a guest on Whatsapp re a review. Ever. Stop it. Don't ever do that again. ALERT: if you leave negative feedback for this property, they will message you instantly via WhatsApp and threaten you and disparage you. And ask that you change the review. You can’t trust the reviews on this property. My original review and the reason for the two star because I didn’t sleep at all.Two women in the room banded together and refused to turn on the air conditioner at night, going so far as to hide the remote control. The other 3 of us laid awake on top of the covers sweating all night. Air conditioning should not be advertised if some guests can refuse to allow other guests access. Cyprus is EXTREMELY hot in July. It was far too hot to force all of us to lay awake sweating all night because you're from a nordic country and don't believe in air conditioning (and think it makes you sick). So..be prepared to fight for your right not to fry.

A dleightful garden, tidy facilities, and great energy. The Wifi was also fast and reliable. The locaton was great, close to many nice restaurants.

Quiet, with a lovely garden and a terrace overlooking Paphos. Close to a bus stop, cafés, and shops. Convenient self check-in and check-out.Prices in Paphos were quite high during the time I was there, so this turned out to be a very economical choice.

No power outlets for each bed, instead they are located together, and the amount is not quite enough, making it not very convenient to charge my phone.

Location is good and is of nice value.
