Axiothea Hotel Reviews

Location and service are very good.

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!

If you’re looking for a posh place to stay in during your holidays, with a swimming pool and a sauna, you are totally in the wrong place. If you’re looking for a hotel with a prestigious breakfast and luxury decors you are definitely in the wrong place. If you appreciate a family atmosphere with attentive personnel, 24-hour kindness and a willingness to help in any situation (sightseeing, recommendations of restaurants and even doctors), a clean place to sleep in and a relaxing veranda from which to see Paphos from above, then you will make the perfect decision by booking here. Axiothea has been a family-run hotel for more than 50 years. Inside, you will meet the three generations of family which operate the hotel- grandfather Andreas, sons Michalis and Marios and uncle Antonis. Also, one shouldn’t forget all the beautiful ladies in the kitchen, who prepare most of the traditional food. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to see artworks by the famous Cypriot-French artist Christos Christou, as his works decorate many spaces in the hotel. You may even talk with him and personally order art from him, as he is a frequent visitor of the hotel. Choosing Axiothea is like going home, indulged by a family which fulfils every accommodation with kindness and love. Here you are taken back to the days of traditional hospitality, when people were more important than buildings. We keep coming back since 2013 and we will continue to do so.

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.

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!

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.

This is a marvelous hotel! Completely renovated. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The free breakfast is excellent. Location is close to the old town with many shops and restaurants and city market. Recommended rooms are those with a sea view, on floor 3 or 4. The sunsets are beautiful! Very good value for the money.

It was a great experience. At the check-in the receptionist kindly provided an adapter and a welcome bottle of water. The rooms were cleaned every day. Breakfast was great and the view from the hotel restaurant was marvellous. Definitely recommend.

There are not that many choices away from the coastline in Paphos that are so good as this hotel. Very clean and friendly people. Vast lobby and adjacent breakfast area with views of Paphos and the sea in the distance. Breakfast itself is very good as well, enough choice to start the day. Room was nice with a balcony and views towards the sea. Perfect for me.

This charming hotel in Paphos was lovely to experience in every way, from my meticulously clean (beautifully decorated), quiet and cozy room with a seaside view to the charming, friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. It's a family run hotel and you couldn't find a warmer atmosphere than at Axiothea Hotel. I visited serveral cities in Cyprus including Larnaka, Limmasol, and Nicosia, and I have to say that hands down, the Axiothea Hotel in Paphos was my favourite hotel that I stayed at while visiting Cyprus over two weeks. The owner Michael, told me what bus stop to get off at (from Limmasol) and gave me very accurate directions to the hotel, using a map he sent me to WhatsApp. How many people would take the time to do this? It just shows how accommodating the people at Axiothea are with their guests. The breakfast buffet was amazing in terms of the choices, fruit, cereals, eggs, cakes..the list goes on, really something for every taste, even vegan options. There was even homemade jams made by members of the extended family. The location of the hotel is ideal to exlore the old town (a 10-minute walk away), plus to a multitude of restaurants and cafes, and to the main bus stop area for the intercity buses which take you from town to town in Cyprus. About a 100 metres away is one of the nicest restaurants in Paphos the "Muse" restaurant. A nearby bus stop will take you to the archeological sites and the seaside. I stayed at Axiothea for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. There is always someone at the front desk to help out with information you might need about Paphos. I felt safe and secure there as a solo traveler, but a great place for families, couples or groups. This is a hotel with heart and it gets five stars from me.
