Unfortunately a big building site next to the pool, which was very noisy during the day, the new building blocks the sun in the pool area so limited area of sunbathing and even that stops by 4 pm , such a shame as before that building site, I can imagine a lovey view of the sea, and the pool area sunny every where.
The staff are excellent and the apartment was cleaned every day, good supermarket with in walking distance as was nice beech and restaurants

This is a very basic apartment hotel style accommodation.
Pros:
Price
Clean enough
Pool
Convenient to grocery store and public transit

Cons:
NO WiFi in rooms, spotty WiFi in lounge
Not a “walkable” location- need to take a bus or car to anything beyond the Lidl grocery store.
Really overpriced bar and restaurant with terrible customer service
*No eating or drinking your own food at the pool*- this was our biggest complaint, especially given the fact that it’s a self catering hotel and because of the above con.

It was overall fine and the price point can’t be beat- but still we’d probably choose somewhere else next time.

The first things that dissatisfied me was that i paid extra money because i request to pay at the Hotel on my arrival. Instead of that they tried to get money from my Visa which i register for warranty. Second thing that i didn't like it was the breakfast which we paid for €6/person. They named it continental consisting of 2 pieces of bread 2 butter 1 marmalade 2 pieces of cheese and 3 pieces of ham. The surrounding environment flowers and trees of the appartment was in a bad condition. The garden of my appartment was full of weeds. The filters of swimming pool wasn't working on daily basis. They were cleaning the pool every 3 days. We paid extra for the air Condition which is unacceptable to pay extra for the a/c. They advertise free WiFi but it was not covering the rooms or swimming pool area except in reception area. The personell was friendly except the lady that was serving the breakfast was in a very bad mood and had an attitude towards customers every day. Hilltop Gardens Hotel will not be a place of choice for spending my holidays again.

Good base for visiting friends

Good family-friendly complex, apartment was clean and a good size. Was only used as a base for visiting friends for a couple of days so adequate for my needs. Limited range of food in the bar and wi-fi only in common areas. A bit out of the way if you were staying for a longer stay.

if you like basic minus 10 then room be fine.

This was a budget hotel that was below budget. Room was very dated with worn out dirty furniture,plaster coming off walls and a distinct smell of damp. The beds were clean but felt damp when you got in. I did speak with reception on the first morning after arriving to air my concerns and she explained these were budget rooms and I could upgrade for 4 euros a night however these rooms were only about 1% better. So we left and changed hotels. This hotel has had good reviews in the past and I booked based on these and thought my expectation had been set to this being a basic hotel but there are just some places even on a very low price that should not be used until even the most general of maintenance is completed. Sorry but not for me.

Great Budget Apartment/Hotel

This is a very good budget hotel, you get a lot of space for the money. We were two travellers and had a lounge area, with two sofas and a dining table, a kitchenette, bathroom, fully furnished bedroom and balcony.The kitchenette had a fridge, toaster, kettle, oven with a stovetop, cutlery and crockery etc.
The rooms were cleaned every other day. The towels didn't seem to be replaced, but I could be wrong.
We didn't use the pool area, but it looked good. The wifi worked well, and luckily our room apartment was close enough to pick it up, otherwise it only works in the public areas.
The breakfast was good, but it would be more cost-effective to go round Lidl and prepare your own breakfast. It took around 5 mins for the shower to be hot.
It's close to the bus route 615 and we never had to wait too long for buses.
We would both stay here again.

Small quiet hotel with friendly staff

We were looking for a quiet small family run hotel and this is what we found. It is not glamorous or busy at night, at least in October. This suited us.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The included continental breakfast was good (fruit juice, ham, cheese, jam and toast). Cooked breakfasts and meals were made in the bar.

Apartments are modern, simple , and spacious.

Good Basic Hotel

Enjoyed stay at Hilltop Gardens, had to change apartment as we were allocated one on the ground floor and our view was blocked by foliage but the staff quickly and efficiently changed our apartment for one on the 1st floor, we had a gorgeous view of the fields and sea and there was a lovely welcome breeze when sat on the balcony, in the morning it was lovely to sit and drink our morning coffee in the shade, and in the late afternoon could top up our tan before the sun went down - the sunsets were lovely. The apartments are well appointed with everything you need for a self-catering holiday if you are on a budget and there is a Llidl supermarket within easy walking distance.The hotel staff were brilliant - if a little overworked ! There only appeared to be one member of staff on duty at any one time, dealing with reception, bar & pool area. The public areas were lovely, nicely decorated and cool, where free wi-fi was available. The pool area was lovely with sunloungers and shades, but would imagine in peak season this getting pretty full. The hotel is a little way out, we hired a car for the full 14 days, which we would recommend as there is so much to see and do on the island. The buses seemed to be quite frequent though. All in all we had a lovely, relaxing holiday.

Choose another hotel

Rather unpleasant experience. Room very basic, all the furniture in need of updating. The bathroom was the worst, using the shower was a painful experience, water only a trickle at best. The room was cleaned only four times during our seven day stay. Extra charges for air con and room safe, which was tiny. We found it impossible to put the gas oven on, the whole cooker had seen better days.
Pool is tiny and most of the sun beds are broken. There is no life guard and staff were rather rude to a guest who had the audacity to complain.
The area around the hotel is currently like a building site.

Very accommodating

This hotel is easier to enjoy if you have a car as it's a decent walk to town, although there is a bus service not too far away. The receptionist worked very hard, along with other members of staff to sort out any queries. One minus point for me was the wifi only available in public areas, although the lounge was nice and bright and clean. If you want air conditioning in your room, this is extra per night. Overall it was a lovely pool area, lounge area, ample parking and a nice bar.

lottery as to your room location.

after a couple of days we did get what was probably the best located room they had,but not before we had sampled a room that overlooked the diesel storage tanks( the smell was over powering) and sat next to that were shopping trollies and rubbish!!staff were very good and after all its not their fault.Our only other grumble was the pillows smelt of body odour(all four and really quite strong) and yet our beds made with fresh linen probably 5 or 6 times that fortnight.

You get more than what you pay for

Hilltop Gardens surpassed our expectations having read some dubious reviews. We weren't in the newly renovated building, but felt that our room was more than adequate. It was large, comfortable and was kept clean throughout our stay. We used the kitchen for breakfast and light lunches. The only problem being that it is poorly equipped. If they reupholstered the sofas you would probably feel even more pleased with the bargain; they are somewhat dated!

The pool area was pleasant and relaxing. The pool always seemed clean and not overly chlorinated. We didn't use the bar for much, but the staff were friendly. One of the receptionists was particularly friendly and helpful - the other, not so much, but she still did the job.

The location is somewhat out of town - a slightly annoying distance. The buses are fairly regular and very cheap (1.50) however the best bet is to use the money you save on the cheap accommodation for a cheap car!

All in all we were more than happy with our time at Hilltop Garden's; it was affordable, simple, friendly and clean.

cheap hotel

very disapointing. The room we was given on arrival was in poor condition. they moved us to reconditioned unit next day. This was better but all furniture is very basic stuff. Pool is ok and location ok. About 500 yds to resturants, bus stop and large Lidl supermarket. They charge extra 5euros for A/C per day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is ok if you only want a cheap break.

Convenient for NW Cyprus.

Stayed for only one night after arrival late evening at Paphos airport. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location is in quiet residential area within walking distance of the coast and the Tombs of the Kings. Good access to the north west of Cyprus. I had a clean and functional apartment with bedroom, bathroom, balcony and dining area with cooker, sink and fridge. There is a bar and dining room which I didn't get chance to use. I would happily book again or stay for longer.

Hilltop Gardens

Very very friendly staff, rooms cleaned daily, but not properly, under beds and between cooker and cupboards etc dust and cobwebs build up.

The hotel seems to be booked out (with most people returning) and the cleaners don't seem to have enough time between people booking out and people booking in to clean fully.
If the beds are pushed it makes lots of noise, so I suppose that’s one reason they miss the under bed mop.

Cleaners appear to work from 7am to 3pm

As per the Trip Advisor comments...The pool is cleaned daily in the mornings but when windy the leaves blow into the pool giving the effect it is not cleaned.

I would stay here again.

Very nice, cosy hotel. Just wish they would clean it at least once during our 3 days stay. Scrambled eggs served for breakfast were very good, instant coffee is, however, the deal breaker. LIDL is nearby, good cafes and restaurants are in walking distance. The hotel is strategically placed between Pathos city and Coral Bay;)

Ogólnie oceniam dobrze, ale pierwszy apartament na parterze który dostaliśmy miał zawilgoconą ścianę i zapach stęchlizny. Po interwencji na drugi dzień od razu dostaliśmy inny - na piętrze, więc nie było problemu, ale nie wiem co by było gdyby nie było wolnych. Miła obsługa, basen, hotel oddalony od głównej drogi w otoczeniu palm i kwiatów. 5 minut do Lidla, poniżej kawałek piaszczystej plaży. Do portu parę kilometrów, ale z tego co wiem jest dobra komunikacja (my mieliśmy auto). Generalnie hotel godny polecenia.

Per una notte abbiamo pagato poco per un bilocale spazioso ben arredato e abbastanza pulito. La lobby e gli spazi comuni sono ben tenuti, la colazione decente e il personale molto gentile. La zona non è delle migliori, 10-15 minuti di macchina dal centro e c'è un enorme cantiere sulla strada principale che separa dalla costa.

Prisvärt och rymligt

Hotellet är OK bortsett från att det saknas uppvärmning av rummen. Inget problem på sommaren men vi bodde på hotellet i slutet av Mars vilket innebär kalla nätter även om dagarna är sommarvarma. Fick dock byta till ett rum med bättre läge (mot solen) vilket hjälpte till att värma upp inför kvällen. Trevlig och tillmötesgående personal.
