Cold water in the morning for shower. Dust all over the handrails on stairs. Carpets dirty. Old, rundown hotel, which needs plenty of updating. No facilties for eating, dining. Overpriced for what you get.

\"Wonderful Eco-Friendly Stay with Supportive Staff

I recently stayed at this hotel for one night and was impressed by the eco-friendly initiatives in place. The manager was incredibly supportive and caring, ensuring that my stay was comfortable. The area was also very clean, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend this hotel for a sustainable and enjoyable stay.

# waterfront is also 5 mins walk away
# nice helpful man in the reception

Cons-
# the hotel and rooms both looks bit dated

Not clean at all .. holes in the walls
found insects in the bathroom
Insects in the pool .
The bathroom was dirty toilet seat dirty the bath i didnt even want to shower after seeing how dirty it is.The bed had springs coming out into my back all night The room was in very bad condition not like the photos the room i chose was not the room they gave me and when i complained i was ignored as the staff went to chat with a friend.
So disappointed breakfast was unedible. I never write bad reviews but this was so bad i had to. Every week i go to different hotels but never saw one this bad in cyprus.

Overall it was a ok stay considering. Atleast the bed was comfortable. But its a old hotel, could probably do with a refurbishment as not all things were fixed securely and were held together with tape! Couldn't work the air conditioning to make it any cooler, had to use our own electric fan to keep cool. Has a bug problem. And one night i assume due to the temperature the fire alrams went off waking everyone.
Sorry to say we wont be staying at the Sylva Hotel again unless improvements are made.

One night stay only

So it's a 2 Star hotel, you pay for what you get. I stayed here with three other friends, we just needed a bed for one night. Don't count on there being a useable pool as it was empty when I stayed. Didn't make breakfast as we where out till 4am. Would not recommend for long stay.

Dirtiest hotel in many years

The condition of the Hotel is not very good, which could be understood. But the big problem is that it's the dirtiest Hotel I've been in in many years.
When I arrived in my night table there was a chewing gum (used). The shower curtain had fungus. All the curtains and textiles looked dirty.
Only good thing: the swimming pool was clean.

Rude receptionist, 80s booking system

On arrival the receptionist could not find my reservation from Expedia, she kept on asking for my voucher and I kept telling her I didn't know what she was talking about. I booked through Expedia, paid and received a confirmation e-mail, that is all. She denied I had a reservation and when I showed her the e-mails and my bank statement through my phone she questioned whether the phone was even mine and she wanted to see the card I paid. I showed her the card and she just kept getting more frustrated and was asking for 'a voucher' the whole time. There were no computers on sight all the reservations and everything relevant was handwritten by her on a paper calendar!!! That was all the records she had! After 40 minutes of lack of communication and complete shock of how we were treated and the system in place another woman decided to come out of the office next to the reception and told the receptionist that it is ok and that Expedia bookers don't need a \"voucher\" they have a room ready for them regardless. The receptionist was baffled she had NO idea of the procedure and we were left in shock with the whole situation. We were put in a position to prove we booked and paid for a room and that we were not liars or impostors. Even though our booking included breakfast the receptionist decided that with what we paid we were not allowed breakfast even though our booking clearly stated that breakfast was covered. An all round horrible experience in a hotel stuck in the 1970s.

Absolutely Terrible

The worst hotel I have ever stayed in. First night air con didn't work asked them to fix it the next day and they said it was the controller I waited over an hour for them to try new controllers then they moved me into a new room which was filthy and the air con barely worked. Checked out the next day.

\"OK\" Hotel

as the title says.. just an ok hotel.. Rooms are a bit lame and very basic. old style furnishings and old tv's in the rooms. Probably a bit overpriced for what it is. Service was good at Reception and the indian man there was nice and helpful on the whole. but wifi only in the main reception area's. Only stayed for one night and the hotel was sufficient for one night but couldn't have stayed there longer.

I wouldnt recommend it, even if it cheap

First of all I would say don't stay there!
It looked like the place hadnt been touched in any way since the 1970's, i.e. decoration. There seemed to be hardly anyone else staying there, which was weird, as we were there for the wine festival. So you would expect it to be full. We did randomly get a 4 poster bed but in the room, there were tiles falling off the walls, there were cigarette butts in a decorative jug, there was no hot water in the shower. And when we came down for breakfast, there was a bit of cereal and a few slices of bread out and nothing else! We decided to give it a miss and buy breakfast in a cafe instead. It was overall a very surreal experience and I couldnt wait to get out of there!

better to be avoided

old, shabby, worn out hotel with no appeal or value for money. surrealistic green rooms with ridiculous décor. unpleasant smells and stains. location is in the middle of nowhere, in front of huge abandoned area (although this make some nice views). i am absolutely sure one can find much better options for less money - i stayed in 2 hotels in lymassol, and the other one being 40% cheaper was twice better and had incredible staff.
on the contrary, sylva staff was rude and unhelpful: we had folding bicycles, which when folded are the size of regular suitcase. nevertheless, reception guy insisted we are not allowed to take those into our room. i would be fine not to take it into the room, if he could offer any other solution, e.g. he could suggest to lock them into their luggage room or smth. instead, he only insisted we do not take bicycles inside and offer no solution. finally, i just ignored him and took bicycles in the room, as leaving 1000EUR bike on the street was not an option for me. on top, he seemed to had no education whatsoever, as my friend, who is russian, was put into registiry as coming from ussr. :-)
the only postive sparkle was very nice, polite and cheerful guy who served breakfast next morning. he was such a contrast to the reception guy, that i even was ok when he brought instant coffee - yes, they do not offer real coffee for breakfast, but only hot water and pack of instant coffee...
all in all, unless you plan to come there to break with your girlfriend or insult your travel companion, dont stay there.

Eldre og elegant hotell, med mye ubrukt potensial

Bildene stemmer bra med hotellets tilstand og samsvarer godt med forventningene. Dessverre var det et par små kakerlakker på badet, sengen var hard, liten og vanskelig å sove to i. Vi er også veldig fasinert over miljøtiltaket om å sette igjen halvfulle toalettruller og såper. Det mest positive var beliggenheten med kort gåavstand til stranden, dagligvarer og taxisentral. Vi er også fornøyde med å ha bodd rimelig, og folkene der var hyggelige. Selv om hotellet er slitt og utdatert, så vil det gjennom ny giv, gnist, ambisjoner og oppussing ha stort potensiale for å komme tilbake til sin storhetstid igjen. Vi tar definitivt med oss minnene fra dette hotelloppholdet😁

La communication avec hôtel.com est à revoir

La piscine devait être ouverte durant notre séjour. Hôtel.com me l'avait confirmé. À notre arrivée, la piscine était fermée. De plus, l'hôtel nous demandait de payer un surplus pour le petit déjeuner. Nous avons demandé à l'avoir gratuitement étant donné que nous venions pour la piscine et qu'elle était fermée. Rien à faire, personnel très peu compréhensif. Très mauvaise communication entre hôtel.com et ses hôtels.
