Kyrenia, The Ship Inn

Very helpful staff, pleasant and extremely polite. I lost my wallet on a bus and the staff went far beyond was I expected of them to assist in its recovery. The hotel was spotless with the rooms tidied every day an dclean towels. the only downside was the beer was slightly expensive at 6 lira for a large one. I would recommend The Ship Inn to anyone.

The Ship is a very clean,friendly and helpful hotel. Whilst hiring a car (which is needed) staff helped with ideas and directions of very interesting places of interest. The only fault i could find was perhaps the bathrooms could do with updating a little,also it is further from the harbour and town that i thought would be. The staff were very friendly and helpful in many ways. When my husband lost his wallet the owner arranged for a taxi to take us to the shop we had been in. When it wasn't he had arranged for taxi to go to police station. In the meantime he had a phone call from someone who had found it. The taxi then took us to the house of the person who found it and it was the bus driver. He had found the hotel card in it and phoned straight away. Obviously he was given a reward for his honesty!

The The Ship Inn is not five star - but not five star prices either. Stayed twice in 2007 and loved it - such lovely people and a great pool. All staff went out of their way to make you feel comfortable and the bar man makes great cocktails. Nice location and fabulous views. Would recommend without reservation.

Excellent choice for 1st time visit as its close to most attractions. Make sure you check out Direct Traveller they usually have the best prices and always special offers on this hotel!

Aboslutly agree with everyone! The country is just so relaxing and the Hotel Ship Inn is just amazing! Very clean and staff are so polite and helpful. VALUE FOR MONEY!!! Hotel is very nice and confortable and the country is just wonderful! Make sure you stay at the Ship Inn Hotel its the best hotel in the area!

The Ship Inn is a lovely hotel, friendly and helpful staff, very clean!

In general, Cyprus is an amazing place but in the North everything is so Mediterranean. It's more unspoilt and unbelievably relaxing. The mountains behind you and the sea in front of you, with the sun and drink, what else do you want. I'd recommend the tour operator I used www.directtraveller.com they offer direct flight packages to North Cyprus.

North Cyprus is a must if you want to relax.

The Ship Inn in Kyrenia, Cyprus is a very good place to stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was clean and comfortable, and has a nice pool. We found a fantastic, small and quiet restaurant run by an elderly Cypriot couple who speak very good English. All the food is traditional, home cooked and fresh. The price is very reasonable and the service is excellent. Highly recommended!! It is the Kyrenia Tavern (or Pasabahce in Turkish) in Turkmen St, opposite the Caliskan bakery, near the fire Station.

I would definitely recommend the Ship Inn in Kyrenia, Cyprus. This is quite a small hotel with very friendly staff. We were staying on a B & B basis but we had the half board menu on some nights, and it was excellent! They had a waiter service, and it was just like being in a good restaurant, and very cheap. The receptionists were very helpful and directed us to a lovely beach (private beach at the LA Hotel), which you can reach by local bus as there is no nice beach nearby. You can stay at the LA beach all day for a small charge, use their sun beds, and eat and drink in the beach restaurant. There are small local restaurants in the area which you can walk to, but they are not particularly cheap.

The main town of Kyrenia is 40 minutes walk away, but local buses go there every ten minutes, and the taxis are cheap.

On Friday nights The Ship has a Cyprus evening with the usual belly dancer. The musical trio were very good, and the waiters joined in with the dancing and made sure everyone had a good time.

We went with Cyprus Paradise who we can't fault for efficiency.

Northern Cyprus is only just taking off as a tourist location, so there is not much entertainment or gifts to take home, but very friendly people, and hardly any crime, and what we liked most of all - QUIET!
