Dekelia Hotel

Amazing people running the show and handle international visitors with humor and efficiency. Extended thank to the boys in bar, you really went an extra mile for us and our team. Hotel is a bit remote from city center but in close vicinity of Tatoi air base. Situated on top of a steep hill. Cleaning works well, restaurant had amazing food (the chicken pasta!!) and very helpful reception. Only few electric sockets in the room.

I stayed here in February on a business trip. The hotel location can be both advantageous (away from the main city centre, but close enough for a €35 taxi ride) and disadvantageous (close to a busy viaduct with some rooms - such as 232 - subjected to loud traffic noise 24/7). The hotel facilities are surprisingly limited. The swimming pool looks very enticing, and has a large poolside area, but in February it wasn’t available to use!. The bar is very poor; poorly stocked (limited range of drinks) and open for restricted hours it seems. The restaurant is not much better. On the only night I ate in, the short menu had several items unavailable, and the waiter’s recommendations seemed to be easy-to-fry (or microwave) options. No wonder mine was the only table in there on the night I ate. Breakfast is a buffet arrangement, however, providing a good range of cereals, fruit (fresh) and yoghurt, as well as both hot cooked options (which change daily) and sliced meats/cheese too. (Tip: get a decent speciality coffee from the bar instead of the low quality coffee out of the canister) My room (232) was functional. There was no “wow” factor about it, other than it had a balcony which overlooked the swimming pool (as well as the noisy viaduct). The mattress was very lumpy and the heavy duvet will appeal to many guests, but not me! The room lacked any pictures on the wall, and I couldn’t find any tea & coffee making facilities, nor any mugs or glasses in the room. There was, however, a minibar which contained two bottles of mineral water! The air-conditioning seems to cut out in the evenings too. Maintenance and housekeeping are above average, but the grand marble entrance lobby is deceptive in that it leads to a very average 3-star hotel which will likely appeal more to business users than leisure tourists.
