very basic hotel. we were disappointed as we expected something extra from a 9.0 rated "resort and spa" hotel. we stayed at this hotel for 5 nights, two adults and a baby. the good things we were happy about: very family friendly hotel with a nice kids club and baby pool. great crib for the baby provided upon request! our room (deluxe) was big, the bedroom was separated from sitting area so we could put the baby to sleep and stay in the living room. fridge in the room was big compared to other hotels. we stayed on an "all inclusive" - the food was nice and the variety was good. we especially liked the marking on each dish mentioning allergies! the not so good things we were disappointed from: first the location of the hotel is very misleading it seems like the center but actually it is surrounded by old living buildings and creapy alleys - not the nice part of pafos. also there are constructions that really damage the way to the beach. the bed and sofa were horrible! we had backaches all day. the sofa had an itchy fabric and it was gross to sit on. the view we got was to the trash bins and laundry so we didn't use the porch at all (i would mention the staff offered us another room with better view after two nights but it we decided not to move because of the baby). room design is old. there were no small shampoo due to "eco friendly" and they change the towels (which was not so nice) once in 2 days. we paid 310 usd per night-this is not a cheap hotel, not value for money.

We strive to provide a variety of culinary options while prioritizing the safety and dietary preferences of our guests.We deeply apologize for the disappointment you experienced with the view from your room.

The resort is located in the centre of Kato Paphos, 5 minutes walking distance from the sea, 12 min from the harbour, 12 min from the nearest sandy beach, 12 min walking from the shopping mall. It is literally surrounded by ancient history right outside. Many clients find our location the best. It is very subjective and depends on the client’s expectations.We're sorry to hear about the discomfort you experienced with the bed and sofa in your room. Our guests' comfort is of utmost importance to us. If you have had informed us about your problem, we have the solution. The mattresses in the resort are orthopaedic.

they must do something about cleaning this hotel!
overall the hotel is nice but - cleaning is something they should work on! pool is VERY dirty, pool floor (underwater) always full of bugs and sand. never cleaned during our 5 days stay. floor around the pool never washed. our 16 months child found can poop on the floor as well. breakfast - very very basic, don't have a variety of vegetables (only tomato and cucumber). no cream cheese of any normal spread to use. during check in - no one offered us help with our bags and we were with stroller, toddler, 2 big suitcases and 3 bags. the lady took us to the room with not even asking us if we need any help. They say they are changing towels every 2nd day but instead of changing them they just folded it and put it again (wet). We realized that when we saw the dirty towel we had from the day before. Location is great!

Dear guest,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We appreciate your kind words regarding our resort's location.We are sorry to read that you found the pool not clean. We are committed to providing our guests with the highest standards of service and cleanliness. We would like to inform you that we clean the pool on a daily basis in the early morning hours – hoover, back wash and chlorine, but due to the high number of trees and plants surrounding it, it is possible that some bugs or leaves may fall into the water. We have inspections from the relative authorities and travel agencies and we always cover the criteria. The floor around the pools is washed every single day between 7 and 8.30 am. However, we will make sure to improve our cleaning procedures and prevent such incidents from happening in the future.We are sorry to hear that we did not offer assistance with your luggage during check-in. Usually we take the clients to the rooms helping them with the languages and explaining them all the resort’s facilities and showing the outlets. As for the breakfast, we apologize if the variety did not meet your expectations. We offer a wide range of fresh produce, including tomatoes, cucumbers, and other seasonal vegetables. We offer 188 ingredients - a selection of spreads, several cheese types and many others. We are proud that the majority of our guests really love and enjoy our food variety and quality as evidenced from the feedback & reviews we receive.However, we appreciate your feedback.Once again, we are sorry for any inconvenience caused, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to our resort in the future and provide you with a better experience.Kind regards,The Management

Beautiful renovated property, close to harbor
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Sofianna. It is a newly renovated property and felt very modern, and was a 5 minute walk to the harbor, 8 minute walk to a local supermarket. Service was very impressive. The only thing we regret is only receiving one pool towel each for three days, and requiring a 10 euro deposit for each. Shower towels were also only one each, and no lotion or extra amenities provided. It was fine for us, but below my expectations for a four star hotel.

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent stay at the Sofianna. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the modern feel of the newly renovated property and that the location was convenient for you. It's also great to know that you found the service to be impressive. Regarding pool towels they are given with 10 Euro refundable deposit in the end of your stay. We are an Eco – friendly resort – this is the reason that our bath towels are changed every second day and our pool towels every 3rd day. In case of any accident with the towels we change them.Regarding the lack of extra amenities provided such as lotion, I would like to clarify that some hotels have different standards and policies when it comes to the amenities provided in guest rooms. This is also a part of our Eco-friendly policy to minimise the use of plastics.Thank you once again for your review. Although we appreciate, value, and take seriously constructive feedback to continuously improve our services.Kind regards,The Management

For sure we will go back to this hotel!!!!
We were only a few hours because our evening flight was cancelled and found another the next early morning. Even though we had a great experience! First all of the staff was very nice and friendly. The room was very big, clean and confortable as well as the bed. We went to the restaurant and eat the night buffet with extra charge. It was chinese and thai food. Everything was delicious with a very ample variaty of food specially since I am vegetarian. All the desserts were excellent! All the beverages were free including wine and beer. The staff at the restaurant was also very nice and helpful. The location is perfect, very close to the harbour, cafes and restaurants. For sure that if we go back to Paphos we will come to this hotel.

Lovely resort in a great location. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. The housekeeping was ok but just a couple of points to note. We didn’t get clean towels every other day which is not a huge problem but something I’d like to mention. We didn’t get coffee replacement sachets a couple of days either. Really small points but the stay was not cheap.

Very happy with the hotel and would stay there again. Rooms, shared areas and pools are kept clean. Breakfast had good quality food and a good range; staff were busy replenishing it and clearing plates. Loads of restaurants, shops and the sea front within easy walking distance. Evening entertainment is provided. We loved the friendly hotel cats, but they won't hassle you if you're not a cat lover! We had a swim-up room. The pool for these is a good size and various floats are provided. For anyone choosing a swim-up room, I would recommend the standard one rather than the junior suite, as the latter don't get much sun. If you can get rooms 3012-3019, the sun is on these south-facing rooms from 10.30 at the latest in November to 15.00. You get your own sunbeds on the private terrace. One area for improvement is check-in. As the hotel has different unattached blocks, the staff are required to walk you to your room. We unfortunately arrived at a busy time and it took an hour to get us to our room. A map for such a time to give to guests who are happy to find their own way would be good. A water cooler in the gym would be a useful addition too. Thanks to all the staff for an overall great stay.

Nice resort hotel in the centre of Paphos
Lovely hotel in the centre of Paphos. A quick walk to the beach, restaurants, boardwalk etc. Breakfast was plentiful and quite good. I did not eat any other meals at the hotel so can’t speak to those options. Rooms are fairly clean, well appointed. My air conditioning wasn’t working the first night, but when I called the front desk in the morning they sent someone to fix it immediately. The pools are clean, there seemed to be a lack of “prime” pool loungers but I found one in the sun after some hunting.

Delightful stay
We had a poolside room that was amazing. It was roomy and very convenient for just being able to dip in the pool whenever you wanted. The convenience of not having to find a subbed and umbrella was priceless. The food was very varied and catered for all tastes consisting of vegetarian cold foods hot foods and pasta rice vegetables and of course a varied selection of childrens food. The only criticism I have is that there is no food available after 9pm whatsoever. We arrived at 9.30pm and was offered a stale sandwich. The cleanliness of the hotel was superb and the workers take great pride in their work. All staff are very friendly and attentive. Entertainment was good both day time and in the evening. Bingo seemed to go down very well at 9pm and it also added to the fun. We went as a couple but there were lots of families and it appeared to cater for all age groups and the mini disco in the evenings was always busy.

Hotel with excellent service
I was very happy with my stay in this hotel. The service personnel is super friendly and well trained at the restaurant (special thanks to Marius & Stefan) whereas at the reception nearly all staff was new and hence they were not able to answer basic questions like restaurant opening hours, or nearest bus connections etc. - but this is understandable if no proper trainings/on boarding materials are provided. I booked all inclusive package which was worth it. Food was delicious and there was enough choice. The alcoholic beverages were simply low quality, but the selection of all-in spirits and cocktails was great. The indoor pool and sauna was a disappointment as a relaxing atmosphere was not guaranteed: sauna & jacuzzi costs 25€/h per person but as they are next to the indoor pool, there is no privacy at all. It's not possible to book the sauna in the evening when the pool is closed, and hence one can have kids jumping around while you "relax" in the sauna/jacuzzi. This was not very convincing concept for me so I ended up not using the sauna, which was a pity as sauna & spa was one of the reasons why I chose this hotel. Cleanliness of the room was fine if you don't look too close (I know I have high standards for cleanliness so most people are probably fine with the level the hotel has :-) Lastly, I found the location very convenient as the harbour and a mall are quick to reach, and the public bus from Paphos airport is less than 10 minutes walk away.

The staff and service at this hotel were excellent. I cannot fault anything. The food selection and quality was fabulous. The daily displays on the salad bar were a delight and the food was always fresh and tasty. The room was spacious and very clean, as was the whole hotel.

Wonderful break in the sun
Just returned from a weeks’ all-inclusive stay here. Such a lovely hotel. Only 5 min walk from the sea. The food was excellent with plenty of choice. They had a different theme for each evening. Ice cream available from the pool bar as part of the all-inclusive. The only thing worth mentioning is regarding the drinking water. If you wanted to have a bottle of water, you had to pay for it. However, they were more than happy to supply cups/glasses of it. We hired a car for a couple of days so knew we would not be around for lunch. As long as you order from reception before 6pm the night before, they will supply you with a “lunch box”. They take a 10 euro deposit as it comes in a solid cool box with ice pack. When you take the box back – they return the 10 euros. Inside was water, juice box, ham & cheese sandwich, cake and fruit. Entertainment was provided in the evenings – how this compares to what is provided in the height of the season I don’t know. In November it was a mini disco for the children. Followed by a show – whether that be by the animation team or an outside act. Then they did bingo. The entertainment was generally finished by 9.30pm. Just a word on the pool – it was freezing. The sea was warmer to swim in. They do have a snack bar open 12-5pm – Mylos All Day Snacks. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Nice hotel great location
The hotel is in a great location, close to the promenade and all the restaurants, taverns and pubs. Pleasant and friendly service from everyone we received service from, especially at the reception. Good, rich and varied breakfast. Less things I liked: unpleasant smell at the shower/toilets, the shower was large but dark, the shower head is small and ryou have to be very near the wall to take shower (instead of a large shower head to be placed in the ceiling). It is not possible to make / order a cappuccino with soy milk, the variety of fresh vegetables at breakfast is poor, the captions on the products were not (for those who maintain a healthy diet, this is important), the hotel did not provide an early breakfast for those who left very early in the morning. Cultural activities until late (we knew in advance so we did not complain, but it was a bit disturbing)

We also have 6 types of non-dairy milk on the buffet. We do not offer an early breakfast for health and safety reasons. We offer lunch boxes in a solid cool box with ice pack for the people who go on excursions and will miss their lunch. Our evening animation finishes at 9.30 pm. Thanks again for your feedback.

The name resort and spa isn’t related to this hotel. We came to relax but the hotel was full with kids, we took a pool view room , it was next to speakers , music from 10 am till 18 so no option to rest on the noon. For families this is a great hotel , for couples that wants to relax find yourself a better one

Dear Guest, Thank you for selecting our resort for your recent stay. As a family focus hotel, we invest in the entertainment part of our services with different acts and performances with the aim to appeal to all our guests irrespective of age, gender, interests, etc and we are proud that the majority of our guests really love and enjoy our programs as evidenced from the feedback we receive. The last 10 days were the half-term vacation in the UK and like it is also in August, we have a big number of our little guests. We are sorry that we didn't reach your expectations because of this fact. If you are a couple it is better to visit us in other periods than above. The rating is fair to be based on the whole picture of the resort's services and facilities. We will be more than happy to offer you our hospitality again in other periods. Kind regards!

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for choosing our hotel for your holiday. We are a family resort with entertainment during the day and the evenings. As you say the music stops at 11 pm which is acceptable for the holiday resorts. We are sad to see that you put us 3/5 only for this reason. If the hotel was fine, as you say, it should be rated based on facilities and services. Thank you for feedback. Kind regards!
