Reviews Hotel Louis Phaethon Beach ***

The Cyprian hotel in Pafos where we stayed is of old date but partly renovated. Our room was located in section G on ground floor and it was not among the renovated ones. The bed was very small, its size was a mere 120x190 cm. The room had old furniture but then again a hotel room is only there for sleeping. I do have to mention that the bed mattress was very uncomfortable. The bathroom was equipped with a bathtub with a curtain – it was ok. Unfortunately, the rooms in the hotel are not soundproof and we heard everything that was going on in the hall and in rooms next to ours, not too pleasant! We liked the pools and the pool staff who looked after them and the great water slides. The pool for kids was ok but the water could be warmer. There were a sufficient number of pool chairs and towels around. Hotel restaurant, noisy (not in a negative way) and divided in a strange way. The buffet was set up across the entire room so in order to get to all available dishes you had to walk across the whole restaurant floor. Not very handy. The choice of food was not great. Soft drinks were served post-mix and were tasteless, the same as coffee – very weak. On the other hand our compliments go to the very friendly staff here! Every day there were 2 weddings taking place in the hotel. Great bus connections!

The hotel in Pafos is an old large renovated building designed for families with kids. We were served tasty Asian dishes but only in the afternoons. The buffet dishes were not too tasty and got boring after a few days. The breakfasts were usually served English-style but hotel guests also had access to a ‘healthy corner’ with low-fat Greek yoghurt, breads and low-fat ingredients. The hotel restaurant served many (unhealthy) appetizers, but you also had a choice of healthy ones as well. The hotel personnel were very friendly and responded quickly with only a few exceptions. The hotel grounds include a variety of water related attractions (shallow pool with toys for kids, 2 deeper pools, a playground and a large toy ship on sand). There is an interesting animation program for kids and adults. You never have to wait in any queues. There is dedicated staff keeping order around the pool area. The water slides are designed for kids under 1,20 m which could be seen as a problem. There are sufficient pool chairs for all guests.

We reserved a stay in the four-star Pathos hotel through a travel agency and it was a very good choice. We spent 2 weeks here. Our impression: very well maintained hotel, nice room (renovated recently), and a small bathroom. There was a refrigerator in the room (which was not mentioned in the brochure). There are nice pools on the grounds with water slides and there is enough space to fit all visitors. The all in formula offered by the hotel is very satisfying and includes a large choice of alcoholic beverages. The food was tasty and you very rarely had to wait in a queue to get it. The hotel personnel were friendly and helpful. You didn’t even manage to finish drinking what you had in your glass and already there was a waiter standing next to you asking if you want a refill. There were a lot of Russians and British there but that was never an issue. Every 15 minutes there is bus leaving to the harbor. The ticket costs about 2 $ one-way or 7 $ for an all-day ticket which allows you to travel throughout the region of Pafos (from Polis to Petra tou Rominou). It is more worth it to reserve tours directly in the town. That way you don’t have to pay for a visa to the Turkish part of Nicosia, while it would cost you 20 $ if you were to buy it in the Hostes travel agency. There is a beautiful road by the coastline which is ideal for walks.

This hotel is fantastic, so child friendly, but also met couples of all ages who had a great holiday there.Not close to shopping areas, but bus stop right outside hotel to take you to Harbour area and beyond.

All staff proffessional and extremely helpful.

Food is amazing and choices to suit everyone.

Rooms a bit on the small side, but plenty of storage, and with all the ameneties in this hotel you only use your room to sleep, shower and change.

Very friendly staff; delicious holiday had here with my daughter (10). Bus return ticket to the port/Centre is € 2, =, stops in front of the door and runs every 15 minutes. Alternately and fine food and regardless of the time there is always more than enough. Good excursions, including boat ride, jeep safari and go to bird/Zoo. Room is not very large, but we have not experienced as disturbing. Internet available only 3 Pcs in the lobby, WiFi coverage is not to good and fast in the entire hotel and you can get a separate login code for € 5, = per hour or € 10, = per 3 hour (remaining time available to the following day remains just below (and)); or WiFi for 24 hours for € 15, =, but unused time expires after 24 hours!

Just got back from 12 days in this beautiful hotel! Top Service! Really by anyone .... Chambermaid, poolboy sharkeys bar, lifeguards, etc. .. Family rooms for 4 persons, indeed what small but Ah you sleep there only. Beds not too soft, but good. Not asked for extra pillow, but because we had a towel underneath every morning, Chambermaid came from her self bring extra pillows. Pool super for our 2 kids of 7 and 4 years. Lifeguards take their job very seriously and every one is well monitored. Food is very English, but we had no problems with it. Sandy Beach slightly later but dirty. Further knocking quite like the reviews below!

just got back from a great holiday. Hotel is good wheelchair accessible (our son is in a wheelchair) Very friendly staff and very helpful. The food is fantastic, every day a lot of choice of good quality. The pools are fine, though fine that the activity pool separated from the quiet bath. The only downside that we had was that the rooms are very small, certainly with a wheelchair is a family room very small. but the biggest flaw is the cleaning. Both the rooms and the other spaces, doors, Windows, etc. were not very clean. But we had a fantastic holiday. What we found was very pleasant that there is a possibility to showering somewhere was even on the day of departure, when you flew in the evening.

Our expectations were very high, after reading all the reviews ... few days before our departure came the first negative reviews .... The climate in Cyprus is great! The staff and the operation are smooth and friendly! The service is excellent. However:-the food is very much against, the same every night. A number of days we ended on the toilet. Many guests had there last, there is also complained. -between the middle there is only fat food, ready-made pizzas with cheese, oven fries gum just not cooked etc.-The rooms are very small but fine to do cleaning, hardly happens. Just look under your bed, cupboard ...we have 3 times the cleaning let come back. There were dried blood stains in the received new towels. -the Russian are awful antisocial!!! Beware your own resources! All in all a hotel not advisable, we want to go again in October. We have looked around, aqua mare, rui Bay, Amathus are all much better

rooms above reception/around atrium room, evening animation by disco/noise to 01.00 hours. We could exchange after 3 days of room in other part of the hotel. Tiles with sun loungers at the old pool smooth.Bed Pillows, thin

We stayed at this place for a week. An excellent hotel. A lovely town. We'll come back some day.
