Overall a good hotel, but it is definitely not a 4 star, far from it. The corridors are dark, room locations confusing and hard to find. The room itself, is not well finished, flooring coming apart. The bedding only had a sheet and I could not find a blanket.
Breakfast was very good and check in and out quick.
Overall I don’t think it’s worth the money requested, I checked out and took a 3 star hotel walking distance, which is far better and over $100 cheaper.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Very close to old town & Paphos Gate. Plus the bus station is just across the road. Staff were very nice particularly the housekeeping staff who were kind enough to leave us a kettle, cups & tea /coffee - very unexpected and very welcome !
The area itself is not very pretty & you will find many young men who hang around on the local corners. It can be quite intimidating. Also the garden area was unavailable ( we didnt see any workmen) This was the main reason we had chosen this hotel as we wanted an outside area to sit in the evening. Had we known, we would have looked for a hotel with balconies.

Great hotel in the heart of the city

I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived early morning in mid July. I was welcomed by a nice gentleman who offered to store my luggage until it was time to check in. Luckily, an hour later, the manager arranged an early check-in. I was quite impressed. I was also impressed with the room, clean comfortable bed and the cleanliness of the room and bathroom.

The staff are very courteous, friendly and attentive. I most liked the restaurant and the complimentary breakfast. Something worth waking up for. I also liked the cozy courtyard to hang out or smoke cigarettes.

I highly recommend Classic Hotel, whether you are in town for a night or a week, and don't forget to check out the hotel's wine bar.

Contemporary hotel inside the Old City walls.

Simple and clean contemporary hotel, which has a slightly odd layout owing to being a combination of two previous buildings (which makes accessibility a challenge - stairs up to the reception, down to the breakfast area, and up again to some of the rooms. There is a lift between the floors, but I'm not sure you could reach it without first having to go up some stairs). Location inside the Old City walls is close to attractions, but the neighbourhood around the hotel isn't fantastic.
Breakfast was good quality, but not a lot of choice, and there wasn't much atmosphere at the bar or restaurant in the evening (we therefore ate elsewhere each night we stayed).
The staff were very friendly and helpful, providing iron and ironing board when needed, as well as a socket adapter for our laptop.
The double bed was two single beds pushed together, which seems common in Cyprus, but not ideal.

Centrally Located Accomodation

Overall, a decent hotel for a reasonable cost. Location is pretty central so everything is within walking distance. The rooms were nice and simple with a slight modern flair, but nothing really lavish or luxurious. No concerns with cleanliness. The breakfast that's included is pretty good with a mix of cold and hot options. There is a small courtyard which is nice and intimate. I would certainly consider this place again if I were to visit the region/city again, so I'd recommend if you're looking for a pleasing, quaint, affordable hotel.

This hotel is quite dark in side. Reception area is slight dark, but the corridor to go room is very dark, we could not see each other on the corridor without room numbers lighting on it.
We was in room 210, the bath room is very very narrow: it is 120Cm wide 160Cm long. Between Toilet the door, there is no gap. So it was very difficult to get in the bath room. Fat people absolutely cannot get in. Just thin people only can get in very difficultly.
