Forest Park Hotel

*DO NOT STAY HERE*

The hotel is located in an area with nice scenery in the mountains but it is well past its prime.

Parts of the hotel are falling apart and the interior is very dated. Very little has been spent on the up-keep and the hotel is well overdue a major facelift; food is over priced and the breakfast buffet’s cooked food was cold.

Some staff can be friendly but others at times seem to be very laid back and not wanting to really to be there or help when things go wrong. Guests are a burden.

Indoor spa area is a mess; nothing was working (the sauna or jacuzzi) and the outside pool is very deep/unsafe (380cm with no life guards on duty with many small children jumping off a dated diving board in to the 380cm deep water). And the floors in the pool area are uneven, the steps broken in areas. There’s also a smell of raw sewage coming from somewhere as you walk down the 80+ steps down to the pool. Far from an easy walk for elderly and passed them on the stairs while they catch their breath

Strange pool times 10am till 6pm most hotels across Cyprus are 8am till 8pm

Over heard a disabled guest complaining to another guest that they couldn’t join the rest of the family by the pool as there is no easy way of getting them there unless they get in a car and drive down to the hotel entrance where there is another entrance to the pool

One positive: our room was a good size and the bed was comfortable - that’s about it, it’s still very dated.

I would never stay again and advise you don’t either!

There are much better hotels in the area at similar prices.

We booked due to being told it has recently been renovated which it hasn’t other than a possible slight freshened up paint job in some rooms.

They boast about inventing a drink for the king of Egypt in 1953 very much where this hotel still thinks it’s operating.

This is in no way a 4 star hotel in 2024 maybe standards for 1930 when it was built needs to be closed and fully renovated

The manager acts as if this hotel is the 4 seasons and doesn’t acknowledge there been any problems in his hotel

Stay away at all costs!!!

The hotel is a historic landmark that was build in 1936 and has immense heritage. The location is great, beautiful breeze and a very relaxing outdoor patio.
However the entire hotel is very badly maintained, almost everything in it is badly deteriorated, including the "new" more expensive rooms. Rust everywhere. The elevators are often broken, the gym is permanently out of service, the main outdoor areas are left abandoned. It's a mess.
The restaurant food is very low quality for lunch and dinner, and the breakfast is average.
Overall, it's definitely overpriced for what it has to offer. There's so much potential in this place but sadly the management doesn't cate about it.

Good afternoon. I want to talk about how badly we were treated at the Forest Park Hotel. This is not the first time my family and I have stayed at your hotel. I am a travel blogger and I recommended this hotel to my subscribers on my social networks. But 07/22/2024 was a terrible day and a ruined vacation. We were checked in and in our room there was no shampoo, shower gel, hair conditioner, and body balm, there were no slippers or a robe (although they always gave us a 4* hotel, we come here for comfort) At the reception they told me that these accessories are not provided in our wing of the hotel, I asked the neighbors and they had everything, then they told me that only these accessories are not provided in our room, are you serious? this is a lie!🤬 we have a room for 4 people, but there were 3 of us staying. We had 2 cups and one spoon. I asked him to bring us another cup. They didn't bring it to us. We are disappointed in your hotel and staff. At the front desk, the cleaning lady, when I said that if she forgot to put bath amenities for us, she was rude to me, she said that she didn’t forget and didn’t put it. 4* hotel, are you serious?😡 The wifi in our room didn’t work at all, the signal was weak, I told the reception and they told me that they couldn’t do anything and that I could use the Internet in the lobby. This is terrible😡 alas, I had to give the hotel low ratings and I always leave honest reviews about hotels on my YouTube channel. Perhaps my letter will help you improve your service and review the work of your staff.

The room was fine and as expected, clean and tidy well presented (grande superior room was I booked) bathroom was okay but the shower did not work properly nor where there any sink or bath plugs. Basic toiletries provided. Ok if you are looking for just a room

The actual ‘resort’ however was awful. Swimming pools advertised were out of use, green and filled with algae. Everything looked really run down, not charming sort but clearly neglected with peeling paint, a few broken windows, and a ratty looking other half in decay and moldy. The hallways smelt strongly of damp and were very cold. Reception did greet us however what we think was the manager was stood in the reception hallway arguing with members of the cleaning staff. When going down at dinner time a strong burning smell was present and we chose not to eat here due to the state of the hotel it self

No massage, sauna etc as advertised nor other trips as on website or booking.com and really poor general facilities. No wifi in rooms and barely any parking facilities too. I do not reccomend. Only good if you are simply requiring a room to sleep in

AWFUL! STAY AWAY! Firstly they advertise spa sauna and jacuzzi… they don’t have them, they have signage for them but don’t have them in working order. 3 pools…. The indoor pool has clearly been left it was freezing cold and dirty, as for the two other pools…. Completely green with rot in the water and the third didn’t even have water in it! Their doors for staff are half off their hinges and only lights on were in the reception, we wondered why this place was all but empty this place is completely not how they advertised! I wouldn’t even give it a star! We have chosen not to eat anything from here as if they can’t clean a path and falsely advertise their features I dread to think what they serve up as food… the only upside the rooms on the new part were exactly what you pay for … adequate.
