3 Best Hotels in Cyprus

If you're planning on shopping or hitting the cafés on Ledra Street, the Old City's main pedestrian thoroughfare, this simple but friendly hotel will fit the bill. It's housed in a building from 1912 that underwent a needed renovation in 2020. The layouts vary by room—some have larger bathrooms, some offer balconies—so make sure you ask to view your room first to see if it suits. Light sleepers, take heed: consider requesting a room toward the back to minimize noise from the busy surrounding streets.

Ideally located on the edge of Nicosia's Old City in a quiet safe neighborhood, this long-standing lodging has a boutique feel, albeit with some smallish accommodations. Stylishly decorated in neutral colors with statement illuminated flower photos, the executive rooms are worth the extra and come with marble bathrooms. The elegant facade hides a warren of stairs and the lift only goes to the first floor; visitors with mobility problems should be aware.

Despite the gleaming marble of the lobby and restaurant, this doyenne of Girne's hotels, which has a fantastic location with beautiful sea views, still has a nostalgic air of faded 1960s grandeur even though there is a renovation program in place. Set on its own peninsula, spotlessly clean rooms on the seaside are superbly situated—almost literally over the water—and all include a balcony. The hotel also has a fitness center with a sauna, and a casino.
