Roman Hotel

Hubbie & I felt this hotel looked great - "something different", we said. Certainly was. Requested (and received) room change after 2 nights as generator and early morning music meant no sleep.
We had booked half-board basis, but would only recommend(?) this hotel for B&B. We have never experienced such scant fayre for evening meal, with abysmal(non-existent) lack of choice. Traipsing up to the troughs is one thing, but finding them empty another. Not the place to enjoy a leisurely evening meal, with a bottle of wine (the food did not merit this luxury). Get to dining-room on time as they'll be nothing left. Husband likened it to a hostel. Think management concerned food may be taken out from restaurant, while we were thinking of bringing it in! Became our entertainment watching guests' face when they saw what was on offer. Did not feel we got our moneys worth and felt the hotel run on a shoestring.
Novelty of mirrors everywhere soon wore off, felt like CTV cameras everywhere and your every move monitored. Hotel was clean but some areas tired and shabby. An experience(and one we will not be repeating. Good luck!

We had two rooms for one night. One of these we feel should not have been in use. We believe it was the damp. My wife and I felt it was unhealthy to sleep in and for myself very uncomfortable to be in for the air quality. We were also staying with two children. Hotel reception explained they were fully booked but subsequently found my wife and two children an alternative room. This was much better.
We asked to pre-pay on key receipt and in retrospect should have asked to see the rooms first.
We liked the breakfast for selection and the decor was a novelty to experience.

a group of us stayed at the roman, it was fantastic, we all enjoyed it and did not want to go home. the staff were helpful, breakfast catered for everyones taste, the only down side was the air con in the rooms was not working and we would have liked a small fridge in the rooms. otherwise down on the harbour it is being spoiled by all the time share touts claiming ( you have won on your scratch card i will put you in a taxi for you to go and claim your prize ) what a con. this is spoiling a beautiful place.

I think i the Roman Hotel was very nice, it was also very different from other hotels, i would deffinetly recommend it. The only down side was the food, it wasnt very nice, there wasnt much choice there always seemed to be the same food range.
Cyprus is a beautiful place, lots to see and do :)
The weather was also lovely it wasnt very hot as i went in feb, but when i went to cyprus in aug it was gorgeous!

I am somewhat surprised at the comments, this is after all a two star hotel!
It is obvious from the brochure that the decor is unusual - so why book if you do not like 'Roman' art.
The rooms provide large beds, clean bedding, furniture and flooring. Ample hot water in a although slightly dated bathroom again very clean one!
The food is excellent and the staff are more than helpful, the only comment I would have is that as found all over Cyprus - smoking is allowed in all areas - but then when in 'Rome' !!
I would recommend this hotel for a stay with a difference!

Grim!! Have been going to Cyprus for years and have to say this is the worst accommodation I have come across on the whole island. The one point is scored for the fact there was a toilet roll and 'air con'(I use the term air con loosely).
The place was as hot as an oven in the reception and in corridors, the receptionist was unhelpful to say the least, the room was rank. Covered in mirrors and scary roman paintings all around the room and I mean all around the room!! There was chewing gum on the headboard (nice!) and it just felt like the place needed a good clean.
Overall the hotel has a horrible feeling to it. it is dark and dingy and have since been told the hotel is well know for providing a resting place for those with nowhere else to go, if you know what I mean!!
Enjoy your stay!!
