Axiothea Hotel

I arrived very early, 9.15am, without giving the hotel a heads up because I had no idea when I would arrive in Pafos. I told them I'd like to store my luggage while I explored the town, but they told me they upgraded my room, and it was already ready. When I explained I would leave early the next day, they were happy to swap my breakfast so I had breakfast on the day of arrival. The large bottle of water (with free re-fills in the lobby) and socket adapter were a nice welcome, and much better than I've experienced in other hotels. The room was very clean and cleverly organized. I particularly liked the bathroom. The location is a bit far from the beach and some of the major tourist attractions, but in exchange you avoid the crowds. They had no problem arranging early checkout before the reception was open. The night security guard even offered me coffee when I left hours before breakfast would be served.

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.

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!

I stayed for two nights at this immaculately clean, family-run hotel. I chose it for its excellent location, close to great restaurants and conveniently near my workplace in Coral Bay. The hotel also offers its own parking, which is a real advantage in this part of town. Having been family-owned for over 50 years, the hotel’s operations are first-class. The owners were also exceptionally helpful and polite. I would definitely stay here again and would pay a bit extra for a room with a view of the town and sea, but on this occasion, I chose the street view to stay within budget. Thank you Team Axiothea for an excellent stay. Highly recommended!

One of our party suffered a close family bereavement 7 days before we were due to visit this hotel, we emailed and explained that due to this we would be unable to make our booking but were told under no circumstances would a full or even partial refund be offered, very inflexible and unhelpful.

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.
