Tasmaria Hotel Apts.

We had room 325, a one bedroom self catering apartment (only booked a studio so very pleased). It had a balcony and also a large patio window overlooking the pool as it was a corner apartment.
The apartment facilities were on par with other self catering accomodation we have stayed at. The pool area was very clean as were the other public areas and the apartment itself, with daily visits from the cleaner. Very friendly, helpful staff,
There are many restaurants on the strip outside the apartment. We would recommend Phukhets for chinese/thai food. Very nice. The choice of bars for us in our thirties were a bit limited (to quiz night & bingo etc).
A 25 minute walk takes you to the harbour and many more bars and restaurants, including 'bar street' with more young and lively night life. We would recommend The Moorings restaurant at the harbour for good priced, large choice menu.
This area was a bit further out than we expected, however, buses are regular and reliable and a single fare was 1 euro or a daily pass was 2 euros so easy and cheap enough to get to. A taxi back was 8 euro or a sobering walk back after the busses stopped at around 11.30pm.
A great weeks holiday in lovely surrounding , highly recommended.

Not sure what hotel those who complained saying it was a filthy hotel were staying at, certainly not the Tasmaria. The hotel was very clean, the pool was supreme, and the rooms were in top condition, and cleaned almost every day. The staff in the hotel were very polite and helpful with any questions, a family atmosphere for sure.
Light entertainment almost every night, including a bird show! We didnt see any cats in the week that we stayed. Only 10 mins from the beach if that, 15-20 from the harbour and a lot of fantastic restaurants in the area. We would happily return again, thank you the Tasmaria!

When staying at the Tasmari hotel, I found the studios very unclean, the food was limited. The staff were unhelpful and rude. I was disgisted the way a young couple were treated, their studio was broken into, with several valuables stolen such as ipods, jewellery and a laptop. The manager was not at all helpful with the couple, saying there was no forced entry, he then evicted the couple. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone taking anythin valuable, as the studios are not secure. When speaking to a resident who was a restaurant owner, he said he was well aware about the hotel, and would not recommend the hotel, it gives cyprus a bad reputation and should be closed down.

Simply the best, atmosphere is so friendly,spotlessly clean, the Management and Staff are there to help you only have to ask, so polite the people are and efficient , simply the best holiday bargain we experienced.
Thank you for a great holiday Tasmaria!
Still have another week to go as we are still here and enjoying every minute of it.
Have read a review below and the least to consider is shocking so arrived here and experienced a completely different Hotel we consider it our obligation to inform other Travellers.

we stayed at the tasmaria the food was awful cats everywhere and the pool dirty. we met a young happy couple there for a wedding whos room was broken into and a laptop amongst other things stolen.when they informed the manager he insisted on taking them to the room to show him how they closed the windows and doors and then threw them out for complaining its probably the ending i should have expected to our holiday from this hotel

i spent 1 weeks holiday at the tasmaria and found it very cleen really freindly staff did not have much time to explore paphos as i was there for a wedding but the free time i did have was great in fact i have booked to go again this year 2008 for a month o.k it is a bit basic but what more do you want on holiday you only sleep there. the pool area is very clean i watched it get cleaned every morning as our room over looked the pool any way i would recemend the tasmaria to any one

We are 2 women friends who try to take a holiday together once a year; the Tasmaria apartments is the worst place we have ever stayed.
The apartment was badly maintained with bits falling off cupboards etc. But worse, the place was filthy. The bathroom was dirty; the toilet was badly stained and looked as if it had never seen a cleaning agent at all. When taking a shower the bath filled up with dirty water, as the plug was blocked with at least ten years worth of hair.
The sheets were grey and stained and the mattresses and pillows were stained. The towels we were given on arrival appeared not to have been washed as they smelled terrible. When we asked for clean towels the woman in charge was down right nasty.
The towels were only changed twice a week, but apparently this is Olympic Holidays policy! There was a large ball of hair floating round the bedroom left by the cleaner from the previous clients. In fact it seemed as if the apartment had not been cleaned after the previous clients.
We spilled some juice on the balcony and tried to clean it up as best we could, but it was never cleaned up by the cleaner. The view from the balcony was of wasteland / car park which we had in common with the rest of the apartments, as the Tasmaria is surrounded by wasteland / car park type land.
The area round the pool was covered by a strip of green hairy fabric which was slimy and slippery. This is a wonderful breeding ground for bacteria, as it is always warm and wet. I came home with a toe infection which after numerous courses of antibiotics is still with me.
The Tasmaria is on the Tomb of the Kings Road with its restaurants catering to English tastes (tourist pap, no chance of authentic Cypriot food here) and Irish and karaoke bars.
The good points about Paphos are: the bus service which costs only 80 cents to go anywhere in Paphos; the harbour area with its seafood restaurants especially "Theos" and the boat trips; the archaeological sites which are well worth a visit; Coral Bay, a 20 minute bus ride from the town but worth it for the lovely beach with good facilities.
We suggest that anyone visiting Paphos should hire a car for at least a couple of days, as it's impossible to get out of Paphos unless you pay lots of money for organised tours!

The apartments were very clean, tidy and spacious. Maid service was often. The air conditioning was only available in the bedroom which was the only down side.
Paphos itself was very nice and has plenty of bars and restaurants for most people's liking. The Tasmaria is ideally situated for those who want an abundance of shops and bars at their front door.
The harbour is lovely and only 20 mins walk away from the apartments. The pool area is ideal for keeping an eye on the kids and has many sun beds available. The hotel staff I found to be very friendly and accommodating and overall really enjoyed my holiday in Paphos.
