“Excellent Staff”

★★★☆☆

written by Espanol69 on 09/10/2013

Hi, just come back from 7 nights in this hotel. Rooms and hotel very clean, no problems. Paid for sea/pool view as recommended and was allocated that without any problems at all. Staff are absolutely fantastic. It says I'm not allowed to put their names, so the guy on Reception (name begins with V),absolutely brilliant, very helpful, speaks lots of languages, got on with him like a house on fire. Guy on the bar (name begins with B),also brilliant, looked after me and my husband and was surprised at how little we drank! Lady waitress, (name begins with M), always had a smile on her face, seemed to genuinely enjoy her job. The sea/harbour is about a half hour walk away, however you can get a bus there for only 1.5 Euro per person. Enjoyed our stay, but would go room only, or evening meal only next time.

“It's time to have an updated review on this hotel. We...”

★★★★☆

written by Anothercraftybear on 13/09/2007

It's time to have an updated review on this hotel. We had read some reviews before leaving on our holiday and it left us wondering a little if we had made a mistake in booking this hotel - my husband and I were both delighted to find it a friendly well run hotel. It's location is in the old town of Paphos which is 2 miles from all the bars and restaurants. No problem if you don't mind lots of walking!

Rooms are spacious, we had a seaview, which I would recommend booking as the alternative is the balcony overlooking a busy street with a view of shops and apartments. Plenty of storage space and bathroom adequate. When we arrived we it was very hot and humid, so the AC was on all the time with all doors closed. We did find the hallway on the third floor from our room to the lift to be very warm in the early evening. The maid was friendly and efficient, towels changed every day, bed linen every 3rd day. TV with three English news channels and one channel with movies/documentaries in English, although we were watching a movie that was interrupted before the end by a football match!

Pools/Sunbeds: The hotel's terrace for sunbathing is not that big, and the sun doesn't get round to most of the beds until 11am. There are plenty of sunbeds, however, they are placed close to each other because space is a premium. Pools: both the large pool and the kiddies pool are both very clean.

Breakfast was the same every day. Only difference was scrambled eggs and boiled eggs alternating. Previous reviews I read are correct about it being a bit of a scrum, but this is purely caused by everyone wanting breakfast between 9am and 9.30am - and the toaster and hot drinks being situated together. I think if they moved the toaster that would solve a lot of the congestion in this one area, but that's a suggestion to be put to the hotel. I think the choice of 4 different cereals, three types of bread, cake, fruit, cheese, cold meat and of course bacon, sausage, egg and beans, along with three types of juice, tea, coffee, etc is plenty of choice for most people.

Didn't have lunch at all in the hotel. I did have afternoon tea and was served a lovely piece of chocolate cake.

Dinner service was a bit more formal, we thought the food was fine, we particularly loved the salads and fruit and their carvery night I can highly recommend. The gammon is to die for and I love their potatoes! Now whilst I said the fruit was lovely, for me this was all I really liked about the sweets. They served a gateaux or cheesecake and individual bowls of different coloured cold custard or jelly. The twice had rice pudding, that was very nice. By the time I had a big plate of salad for a starter and then a bit of everything on offer for main, I wasn't looking for too much more anyway.

Entertainment was a DJ twice weekly and a singer on Sunday. So 4 of the 7 nights there was no entertainment and only one small bar nearby, so after 7pm you need to get a taxi to Kato Paphos, which costs £5CY (£6GBP). So given the location of the hotel, they could do better on the entertainment side?

Location, now I think this is the biggest problem for a lot of people, it's 2 miles for the main tourist part or Kato Paphos, which is where you find bar street, the harbour with all the fish restaurants and all the shops (souvenir, jewellery, leather etc). As I said above its £5CY each way in a taxi or £0.70CY on the bus, but the but service stops at 7pm (ish) so after that time you can only travel by taxi or it's a bit of a walk. Now we enjoyed the walking (comfortable shoes a must). On a plus the old town has all the non-tourist shops and the Market just 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Marks and Spencer, Mothercare, are just next door to the hotel. If you like shops, especially shoe shops, this is where you'll find them. We didn't find any bargains though. Only some table linen, which we bought for Christmas Day. Every thing else we bought because we liked it, not because it was cheap! We liked the location, no ticket touts here, and no loud music at night must be a plus. I think it suits middle aged to older couples the most.

Places I'd like to give a special mention to are:
Phukhet Chinese & thai Restaurant, Tomb of the Kings Road
Very nice food and lovely restaurant, staff all dressed traditionally, service first class.

Colosseum Italian & Steakhouse, 101 Danaes Street
We went for the Elton John Tribute by Andrew Oliver. If you are an Elton John fan, you are in for a real treat. Andrew Oliver has put a lot of effort into his act and is definately worth seeing. He also appears at other venues during the week but twice weekly here. We both had steak and this was first class.

Tea for Two (one a few doors up from the hotel, the other on the Tomb of the Kings Road)
Lovely pot of tea in a china pot with china cups and saucers. They serve english type food, in particular a very nice cheese omelette which comes with salad, chips and a warm roll.

Outback Bar - Tomb of the Kings Road
Wonderful Sunday Roast (both Sundays!) beef just melts in the mouth.

To sum up, we had a great holiday and this 3 star hotel lives up to it's stars - don't confuse it with a 4 star, it is a 3 star!

It may be good for shopaholics or those that have been to Paphos too many times.

But the Agapinor Hotel offered awful meals that were tasteless and repetitive. The rooms were noisy with dirty sheets, and staff were very unhelpful. The hotel tries to charge for everything possible, even an extra towel!

Very unprofessional staff, did not apologise or answer to a single complaint submitted to them on the fourth day. Paphos is great but do not go to the Agapinor. It is better to choose another 3 star hotel or spend a bit more and go for 4 star closer to the harbour or beach.

“The Agapinor is an excellent hotel and the staff are a...”

★★★★☆

written by Pluglet on 26/08/2004

The Agapinor is an excellent hotel and the staff are a credit to themselves. This was the first time we have travelled independently, and all e-mailed queries sent to the hotel were dealt with quickly and efficiently.
The hotel is located in the upper part of the town, and there are very few bars open on a night in this area. You have to travel down to Kato Pafos to reach the tourist area (about 3km). There is a bus service down, which finishes about 7pm, but there are plenty of taxis about for the trip back (they are relatively inexpensive, but arrange a price before you get in!). A huge plus in terms of the location is the proximity to shoe shops, although my partner may disagree!
We stayed on a half board basis at a very reasonable rate.
Our room was good and cleaned faultlessly each day, and the air conditioning was a blessing. Unfortunately, as previous guests had burnt bed linen and carpets, notices inform that any irons found would be removed and kept in reception until checking out. However, I kept mine in wardrobe and nothing was mentioned.
The evening meals were excellent, with both Cypriot and other 'English' dishes offered, although the restaurant lacked atmosphere. However, only the Head waiter takes meal and drink orders and so on occasions one can be left waiting despite the restaurant being half empty. Shorts, of any description are not allowed in the restaurant, and you will be asked to leave and change, if you attempt it. Breakfast was average, the fruit provided was delicious but the orange juice was a poor relation to squash. Bread and an industrial toaster was left for guests to make their own toast, fantastic as you can avoid have the luke-warm toast often supplied in Hotels, but can be a bit of a scramble if everyone arrives at the same time.
The poolside was kept clean and sun beds were always available (excellent for the middle of August). The hotel bar was also good for those not wanting to go down into Kato Pafos.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be returning to the Agapinor in future.

Mint 1's Response to Pluglet's Review

Stayed at the Agapinor in May/June for 14 nights at half board. Hotel staff - faultless, room and hotel - spotless. The staff was very friendly and bar and snack prices were very comparable. Although area very quiet, the bus service could do with a bit of an update but I guess as the area develops more, this will happen. If you are looking for a bit more of a lively holiday I suggest you stay in the resort and I could recommend the Akti Beach Apartments and the Helios Bay Apartments (family stayed there). However value for money the family run hotel could probably not be bettered. Saved money by booking over the net with Sky holidays too.
