Axiothea Hotel

I have recently spent 2 nights at Axiothea Hotel in Paphos. Though it is a 2-star hotel it definitely exceeded my expectations; this property deserves far more merit than 2 stars. Due to a late flight, we arrived at the hotel after the Reception closing time, but they kindly waited for us and gave us a bottle of complimentary water and lent us the proper plug adapter. We were granted a room on the third floor with a stunning view of the sea and the lower Paphos from the balcony. It might be a bit far from the beach, but the location on the edge of a rise and the proximity to the Old Town make up for it, especially that there is public transportation within a few hundred meters of the door. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, with all the amenities one might need: free toiletries, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, air conditioning. The only downside is that there was not safe box, nevertheless I felt very safe to leave my valuables in the room. Breakfast was delicious, with lots to choose from: lemonade, cake and jam were homemade, sausage, eggs, omlette, yoghurts, olives and more all available and in plentiful amounts. This would be a good choice in Paphos for anyone.

We recently stayed at this charming 2-star hotel and were thoroughly impressed! Having stayed at numerous hotels and having worked in the hospitality sector, it's important to mention that Axiothea Hotel and its owners deserve far more merit than 2 stars. The room size was exceptionally spacious, offering plenty of comfort, with extra pillows and lots of towels. The air conditioning, WiFi and TV worked perfectly, ensuring a pleasant stay. Cleanliness was top-notch, and every corner of the hotel sparkled. The staff and owner were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home, with a large bottle of water and adapter waiting for us on arrival at our very early check in time. The breakfast was fantastic, with a delicious variety that exceeded our expectations: breads, jams, fried meats, heaps of local jams as well as a variety of coffees and fruits. Lastly, they also have a wonderful mini art exhibition in the foyer which showcases local artists in Paphos which was such an edgy element to a very traditional style hotel. We will be back!

Amazing. Spotlessly clean great location. Great price. Get a room with an ocean view. The view is incredible. Have stayed here three times and will definitely stay again. It is not fancy and is not on the beach, nevertheless it is a great place.

Busy beachside hotels have their place, but the Axiothea has a sense of place. It’s in the Old Town and is family run, which is why I would stay again. The staff care. Everybody was helpful and kind and the hotel itself was immaculate.

Like the old Greek acropolises, the Axiothea hotel is perched on top of a hill overlooking Neo Paphos. Its around a 25mins walk away from the center or a 10min bus ride on the infrequent 618. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the breakfast was amazing. One of the finest spreads in Europe, however the replenishment could have been a bit quicker. The rooms were spacious and most of them had balconies. My room overlooked an occupied residential complex which made it a bit weird as the residents could stare directly into my room. The establishment's rules are posted everywhere and they involve changing towels every 3 days and linen every 5 days. I understand the logic behind these guidelines but their appliance should have exceptions. I had accidentally spilled some food on my bed and even in this case, my stained bed-sheets weren't changed. It was the same case with my used utensils (glass), which weren't cleaned/replaced. There were no ports next to the bed and the only way to charge your electronics was through an extension cord with limited outlets. I had to choose between charging my laptop or keeping the refrigerator running. Finally the room was a little under equipped as normal items like kettle, spoons, tea/coffee were missing. The wifi throughout the property was amazing and the AC was powerful. The Axiothea is a solid choice if you want to stay near the old town, but you should choose a property near the harbour if you want to be close to the action.

Very pleased with sea facing room, but the “budget rooms” are for sleeping only! Staff sometimes scarce. But otherwise very helpful. Good position in old town. Closest restaurant expensive and worth short walk across to main town. Nice breakfast spread. No complaints!

Front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful. Gave us a bottle of water the moment we walked in and lent us the proper wall plug adapter. Bed was comfortable. View from balcony was wonderful. Shower has great water pressure and all the hot water we wanted.

This family run hotel may be rated 2-star but it is far better than that, and it is excellent value for money. The owners and staff are all friendly and helpful. The Axiothea is perched high up in the old town (Ktima) with lovely views over Paphos to the sea. We had a sea view room on the 4th floor. There is a lift. Breakfast is very good with plenty of options, and again beautiful views. My favourite was the huge choice of excellent homemade jams and marmalades (maybe 9 or 10). I think there were five different marmalades and I tried them all. There are plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance.
