Choosing the right airport for your trip to Nicosia depends heavily on your entry point and travel priorities. Ercan International Airport (ECN) is the closest facility and serves as the primary gateway for Northern Cyprus, handling domestic flights from Turkey; it is the most convenient option for reaching the city center quickly. Larnaca International Airport (LCA) is the major international hub for the Republic of Cyprus and is the preferred choice for most international travelers, offering reliable shuttle connections. Both airports are located outside the Nicosia city limits. For those arriving on the west coast, Pafos International Airport (PFO) serves the southern region and requires a significantly longer transfer time to reach the capital. Finally, Gazipasa–Alanya Airport (GZP) in Turkey is the most distant option and is typically only practical if you are already touring the southern Turkish coast and plan to use a ferry connection. We recommend evaluating your flight routes carefully, as transport logistics vary drastically between these locations.

Service was good except that one didn't know what the other was saying. There is a pool on the roof, where you could set up a small bar where you could get the drinks directly instead of ordering them by phone. But otherwise the pool area was great. Rooms are pretty comfortable and clean. The air conditioning was good. The hotel itself is very well maintained and well organized. Breakfast leaves nothing to be desired, it is very varied. The food tasted really good too. The hotel is about 2 km from the center. In general, I can only recommend the hotel.Good62 Reviews

Really nice and stylish hotel. Amazing breakfast buffet including low fat yoghurt. Unfortunately the hotel is next to a big street and it is a little difficult to catch a Tuktuk. Also a little minus is the small pool area in comparison to the size of hotel, same with gym area.FromUS$154

Convenient and central location, right in the center and in front of very good Syrian restaurant. The balcony was lovely too. The staff was welcoming helpful, and way friendlier than in Paphos, the vibe is completely different and very relaxed in Nicosia. The prices are still high but that’s all of Cyprus, unfortunately. There is a lift, the AC works, the tv works. The breakfast was nice, the lady who works there is very sweet.FromUS$116

Breakfast is simple bread and vegetables and canned fruits and drinks. The rooms are old and the most attractive is the hotel's outdoor swimming pool. In general, count three-star hotels. The price for a hundred euros is slightly more expensive, but it is still comfortable. The address is in the center of Nikko, and it is very convenient to buy daily necessities nearby. It is convenient to visit the border between the North and the South. However, if you choose to travel, it is recommended to choose Limassol or Paphos because there is no beach scenery, and locals like to live in Limassol, which is 50 kilometers away.FromUS$93

Right on the edge of the old town, it is easy to walk to the main classics and main commercial streets of the old town. Breakfast is very simple, just toast, bacon, fried eggs, ham, yogurt, etc. But full. It is the kind of luxury hotel from a long time ago, now it is a declining noble, and it feels a little nostalgic to stay. Parking in front of the hotelFromUS$69

The advantage of a classic hotel in the city of Cypress Nicosia is that it is in the best position to feel the division of Nicosia. It's easy to find because it's in the city centre. Of course, after the division, it became the northernmost hotel of South Nicosia, but it is more attractive. The staff was very friendly. I was really surprised to have a Korean-speaking staff. The old town and major tourist attractions in downtown Nicosia are all within walking distance. Breakfast is good. I don't know convenience, but I'm about to have it. Travelers traveling to Nicosia for business or business purposes can travel by taxi. Taxi costs are not high.FromUS$129
