Kiniras Traditional Hotel & Restaurant in Paphos

If you have low expectations, it’s ok. It’s not bad or anything similar. But
- toilet window could not be closed
- toilet was NOT flushing
- towel had orange stains
- WiFi was not working in the room
- ironing service was - them bringing me an iron which was broken, had no tap and water was coming out
- stairs dirty

To be honest if I could give zero points, I would! I can’t even describe what a load of junk this hotel is. The lady who welcomed us was desinterested in us, and the room reflected that sentiment. Old, run down, in DESPERATE NEED of an upgrade, mould in the bathroom. Airco? Cost you extra. If you happen to have a bootle of soda, they can fine you for bringing in a beverage from outside ( where’s the fridge in your room for then)?

I had a dreadful experience with that hotel. The pictures posted on their website do not reflect the reality. I booked a room with 2 beds, but got a room with 1 bed too small for 2 persons and with a worn-out matrass. The room was dark, dingy and with a view on an outdoor refuse area It is clearly not a 3-star hotel. The hotelier and personnel were lackadaisical. I had to find another hotel on the spot, and I never got my money back. After my holidays I filed a claim before the European Consumer Centre (ECC). This hotelier never responded to the ECC enquiries. However, the ECC keeps a record of all claims and might investigate at some point.

I made a reservation for two nights through the official website of the hotel and received a confirmation and a reminder of my booking prior to my visit. When I arrived, nobody was at the reception, eventually an employee checked my ID against room reservations and handed me the keys, saying I can pay for the room when the hotel manager arrives. The next morning the hotel owner/manager tried to barge into the room. When I came downstairs, he said he made the mistake of placing me into a double room - even though that is what my booking said - showing me the printed confirmation of my booking, and complaining that I booked the room for too cheap of a price. Realizing that he double booked the room, and that there were other people arriving who have booked the room for a higher price, he wanted me to pay for two nights and leave, even though I stayed there only for one night and had nowhere to go. When I refused to pay for two nights instead of one, he started yelling at me and said misogynistic remarks in my address, proceeded to straight on lie saying that I was cheating him by having booked the room for a lower price, and then that the website I booked it from was a fake - even though he had showed me the exact confirmation of my room reservation printed out. Instead of apologizing for his mistake, he tried to deceive me and rip me off. He was extremely disrespectful and aggressive. I ended up paying for the night I stayed and left. Aside from this, the hotel is very outdated and not clean at all with old and stained towels and little hairs everywhere. Do yourself a favor and book a nice hotel closer to the harbor.

Worst meal! All food came from local Lidl NOT home cooked as advertised. Even the beer was Lidl cans! Seafood salad still frozen - owner told me I could take it home ‘as seafood is frozen’. No thanks! Shameful place in the middle of really lovely restaurants. Advice - avoid!
