Sveltos Hotel in Larnaka

I stayed at the Sveltos Hotel in Oroklini. The hotel itself is generally clean and well-kept, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned regularly, which was a plus.

However, there are several downsides that made the stay less enjoyable. The swimming pool is in poor condition, with peeling paint, and on arrival there was an unpleasant smell around the pool area. Additionally, the surroundings of the hotel are currently heavily affected by massive road construction works. There is constant noise, the smell of asphalt and tar, and heavy trucks and road rollers working nearby. Because of this, it is very difficult to reach the beach, which in any case is rocky, undeveloped, and not really worth visiting. Bus stops are hard to access due to the construction, and buses rarely stop there. There are also no shops or amenities nearby, so unless you rent a car, the location is not convenient at all.

As for the food, I had half board. Breakfast was always the same with little variety, while dinner was chosen from a small set menu with limited options. Drinks were not included and had to be paid for separately.

At night, the atmosphere was not very relaxing either, as there were often noisy guests disturbing the peace.

Overall, while the hotel itself is clean and the staff are polite, the pool condition, poor location, lack of beach access, and the ongoing noisy roadworks made the stay disappointing. I would only recommend this hotel for travelers who have a rental car and plan to spend most of their time outside the property.
