Stayed there on business for 3 nights in June. Location The hotel is located on a busy Arch. Makarios street, which leads from the city center to the Larnaca airport. The street is quite noisy even at night and nearby construction works start early in the morning (before 8 am). You don’t need to worry about noise in your room, however, if you keep your windows closed at night. The hotel is within easy reach from the business areas (about 5 min by taxi). Rooms Rooms are spacious and clean though the furniture would benefit from a few touch-ups. An in-room safe and Euro-plug adaptors would also be very useful. The hotel spares no money on air conditioning. (I actually thought it was not quite environmentally friendly to keep the aircon at 21 degrees while it was 37 outside!). The bathroom was reasonably sized, with all necessary amenities. The blowdryer, however, dated from the previous century and did not quite live up to the hotel’s 5 star status. I also didn’t have a bathrobe in the room, but I guess those were provided on request. The bed was large and comfortable, no gripes about that! Service The hotel’s staff were friendly and efficient, I had no problem checking in and checking out, all questions were promptly answered. Food The food for dinner was ok but not terrific. I actually found food in local tavernas to be much tastier than at the hotel. Breakfast (served by the famous pool) was varied and offered a good choice of fruit in addition to the typical hotel breakfast stuff. Facilities The hotel has a large pool (as mentioned above), which was quite popular at breakfast time) and a gym and tennis courts (which I didn’t use but which seemed quite popular with hotel guests and locals). The hotel seemed quite full even on weekend and was definitely in high demand on weekdays, so it’s a good idea to book in advance. Overall, my first experience with the Hitlon was positive, if I go to Nicosia again, I’d definitely consider this hotel again.

We had a very pleasant stay in Hilton Cyprus in the center of Nicosia. We stayed in the executive room, which was large, well equipped, nicely decorated – nothing special, but pleasant and comfortable. There is an executive lounge for the exec. rooms, with drink and light snacks available the whole day. The hotel has a great lobby, with numerous spaces for a business meeting or coffee with friends. The lobby faces an outside swimming pool. We didn’t go there, so not sure if it’s good or not. The staff were a real highlight: everyone is very friendly and polite. One downside of the hotel is a VERY tired health center, it is simply dirty there, the walls are very shabby, the plunge pool is nearly falling apart. The hotel is about 40 min drive (50 Euro taxi ride) from the Nicosia airport, located in the city center, about 10 min drive from the historic center of the town.

The hotel advertises itself as 5 star but in reality it is 3 star in the old part of the hotel or 4 star in the new part of the hotel. I routinely stay in the hotel as it is close to a number of my clients in Nicosia. On the positive side the rooms are quite large, there is a large outdoor pool (perfect for swimming lengths), a decent gym and indoor pool and staff are generally very friendly. On the negative side, the hotel is pretty much a concrete block although there are balconies, the restaurant is nothing to write home about (nice but not brilliant) and sometimes getting a taxi can take a while.

Have stayed in a few hotels in Nicosia on business over the years but the Hilton Nicosia is by far the best. Not to be confused with the Hilton Park, which is more to the outskirts of the city, the Hilton is slap bang in downtown Nicosia meaning it is ideal for business but also for getting out and about the central part of the city, the walls, Ledra street and close to some good restaurants. The hotel itself has good restaurant, large bar area, great outdoor pool - especially if temperatures are rising, but also an indoor pool and health club. Rooms are good, service friendly and overall a hotel I enjoy returning to.
