Best Hotels in Lania, Cyprus

Went 30 December 2022 to spent the last couple of days of the year in what it supposed to be a cosy mountainous hotel set up. It was just that. A cosy refurbished old hotel in the middle of a forest, a short walking distance from Platres village. There is a huge history concerning the role the hotel played as the place for the rich and famous in the early 20th century until the end of the 80's. Royals, movie stars and wealthy individuals stayed at the hotel, photos of which are everywhere. The room was clean, the temperature was perfect and everything worked just fine. The a la cart menu offers few choices, but the food quality was above average to our satisfaction. Not expensive as well. The wine list was short and was focused to local wineries from which there was a handful of worth to try (if you are familiar with the local varieties or if you can get help from the head waiter). Excellent service at the restaurant, smiling faces everywhere and helpful staff in every corner. Taking under consideration the fact that is a facility deep in the forest, old and with a well established mountainous character, it is unfair to judge the simplicity of the design or the lack of 5 modern star building materials. You get what you pay and that is not a high end 21st century super luxury hotel. There is of course room for improvement starting from the unacceptable condition of the private road when you enter the gates heading upwards for the Hotel (about 4 hundred meters). It's totally destroyed and no maintenance have been taken place for decades. There is no lighting to help you avoid the holes so if you are not cautious your car might end up with some kind of damage. If this piece of road is part of the land that belongs to the hotel , then this is totally unacceptable. Generally though a good experience.

Generally we have enjoyed our stay! Wonderful location, view, many available amenities, deco of the hotel, family atmosphere, friendly staff and food -especially buffet. But the first cold night the heating, that we paid for, was out of service air condition and central. The people that were available to talk to at night in the reception weren't able to help. The next morning they manage to send a technician- that we demanded -and the problem was fixed but nobody came us to discuss any payback to us in any way as it was a lost paid service. Plus, despite that I have booked a room for two adults and two kids, 9-year-old and less than two years,they told me that they could not see that at their system. They said that, they will arrange it. Finally they charged us without any prior notice, despite I have paid online our stay.

Great service from all the staff - reception/lobby, breakfast room, housekeeping, spa/hairdressing, bar/room service. Liked the location. Days off - two 'city bicycle' hire stands (Nextbike by Tier) nearby gave me the wheels to explore old town and surroundings. On remote working days - Walking distance to a great little vegan food van, organic supermarket and Bobo pops (ice cream), walks were welcome breaks from the laptop. Room impeccably clean and very comfortable, north facing room on 4th floor had a pleasant city/mountains view. Mini fridge was great for keeping snacks (and sundowners!) cool. WiFi worked well, I remote worked with it, without any problems, for over two weeks. The desk and chair were comfortable and there were enough well located plugs - and the blurred Zoom background looked professional (although it was the bed/headboard!). Breakfast was excellent, usual hot/cold stuff plus lots of fruit and 'Cypriot table' with interesting things to try out (sweet pickled walnuts, tahini cake, olives - yum). Miss the yoghurt already - with walnuts or almonds, goji berries, chia seeds etc. Free car parking on site was available, discovered a minor overnight scratch on my vehicle on the last morning but luckily had taken a zero excess insurance policy for falling rocks at Troodos mountains. Spa and hairdressing treatments were reasonably priced and available at short(ish) notice, at least now, during the 'off-season'. Had a haircut and four massage treatments, great way to relax after the remote work days when my time off was more limited. So all in all: a really pleasant stay - thank you Ajax!

First time in Cyprus, I never wanted to come again. It's desolate, nothing fun, the seaside is okay, the commercial street is poor. Talk about the hotel, because it is close to the customer, so book this hotel, although not at the beach. But the distance is also very close, walking about 2 kilometers to the seaside tourist area. The hotel is ok, but it should be soon after the renovation, the room smells a little, I am sensitive to the smell, so I opened the window to sleep. No food around the hotel, only a supermarket. Ice cream shop. The hotel is nice and clean. The network is average, and the signal on the bed is very poor, even Ctrip cannot open it. Breakfast is good, everything, can meet nutritional needs. If you go to the airport, you can ask the hotel to call travel express for 13 euros. Pick up at the hotel and then take you to the airport. Otherwise, take a taxi for 10 euros to the station, and the bus costs 9 euros, which is very frustrating. Try to live in high floors and have a good view.

This place has a long history and already existed in the 1950s. Given that you shouldn't expect a completely renovated new hotel yet a cute little place to rest after hour hikes. The rooms are clean and some have a balcony overlooking the beautiful valley and the olympus. The staff speaks English and was very friendly. The hotel is clean and the All you can eat breakfast for 6,50€ per person is best to enjoy on the terrace outside. The rooms don't have air conditioning but a little fan so it'll get hot in summer. Would totally stay there again!

Very tired hotel, rooms minimal rather scruffy and needs a good update, staff helpful and food ok, no tea making facilities but asked and they were provided, had problems with the toilet backing up but fixed quickly by the staff, I think it’s a common problem as the original hotel has 3 more floors added to the original, it’s a noisy location with lots of boy racers blasting around in the evening, lots of building work going on adjacent buildings. ”SPA “is in the basement again very tired and not inviting at all, you have to pass the garage spaces so lots of exhaust smells and past the janitors room reeking of tobacco smoke,. Shower area to spa was also very tired , sauna not working and controls broken. Outside pool ok ( very cold at this time of the year) but the view is not and photographs on the website make it look much better than it is. Lovely view of the rubbish bin and car park, Wouldn’t stay again, luckily it was a base for meeting friends elsewhere.

I really liked the hotel and staff for my visit this year. Yes minor faults in the room, but this is a 3-star hotel, so did not expect a flawless experience. The staff was always friendly and helpful, I was mainly there for warmer weather and ankle rehab via the pool onsite, which I might add was great. The O'Brian bar staff are busy at times and that can delay service, but it's not meant to be busy like a UK pub. The room was acceptable with a balcony view of a new build called the Trilogy, so although they started work at 6.30 am the double-glazed door kept a vast amount of the noise out. The best balcony experience would be poolside as this captures the sun for most of the day, and 1st floor has an extended balcony with a table and a sun umbrella. The reception also has a supply of towels for the pool, so you do not have to take the towels out of your room. Checking in and out was great, and they have a spare area for luggage to be kept after checking out so you can still explore the area before your taxi arrives back at the airport. I shall look forward to returning to this hotel, based on the service and the prices.

Excellent Boutique hotel. Highlights Very warm check in at reception, included a refreshing drink Staff we so nice, very polite and always asking how my stay was and everything was ok. I would say they were an excellent asset to the hotel Food amazing, great value, did not have anything that i did not like All areas are very clean and well maintained For a small establishment there are many spots you can sit, relax and enjoy. Cleaning ladies do a great job, daily cleaning with turn down service in the evenings. They set up a wide screen TV for football lover Breakfast buffet could not fault it, caters for everyone. Finally i have to mention the Potato fries, home made and best i have tasted. Low lights None. Would highly recommend this hotel for couples and families, little gem of a place and i will try and bring my family next time i visit.

Alinea Suites is by far the best place we have ever been and stayed in Limassol ! Professional and friendly staff along with super clean , spacious and fully equipped rooms with functional kitchen , large TV , beautiful bathroom / shower and the most important thing : a super comfortable bed . The interior of the rooms and the premises is simply amazing and on the top floor you will find a small swimming pool and a lounge area . The location is incredible , in the city center - walking distance to cafes , restaurants and shops . Added plus the order in the room breakfast via the TV application (very good options and delicious ) and of course the private parking on the premises (so much needed in the city center). Highly recommended for couples , solo travelers and families ! Overall super excited that we discovered this little gem and we will definitely return back!
