Holiday Inn Nicosia City Centre

We stayed at the Nicosia Holiday Inn for two nights in mid-March. We stayed in a very spacious room on the 2nd floor, which was very clean, hospitable (cookies and fruit upon arrival), had a huge TV and was very comfortable. During our stay, we were very pleased to experience none of the problems previous travellers had mentioned. The room was extremely quiet. Although the room was on the front road, we had no problema with traffic or other noises. We had no problems whatsoever with cleanliness and all our requests were met... more

I can only speak of the out-of-season experience here - accommodation was reasonable, but housekeeping and cleaning seemed very hit and miss (often the latter); the Italian restaurant was quite acceptable, and, with Bistrot 1900 across the other side of Ledra St, completed the list of two good Euro restaurants in Nicosia. When I did observe the hotel to be rather busy, the breakfast staff were not able to cope very well; with fewer of us they managed quite effectively. I was glad to have a room positioned midway between the 6th floor... more

I had to stay for three weeks on business, and I selected this hotel because it seemed to have good facilities, but actually it was quite a weird place. I used the pool quite often, as I like swimming, but it was open shorter hours than advertised on the website and in the brochures in the room. It was also used every time I was there (except Sunday morning) by a swimming teacher for local children, one to four children at a time, which I hadn't expected. The food at Bonzai Japanese restaurant was excellent, although the chefs... more

I have been in many Holiday Inn hotels in many cities for many years, but this one has nothing to do with the famous firm. It's an extremely expensive hotel taking into account the a so low level of services provided. The only advantages is the location in the center of Nicosia and the size of the rooms. But.... Everything here is so noisy. I had an executive room (all executive rooms are located on the 1st floor!!!) and I couldn't sleep all night. The nose from the main road was horrible. The cleanliness of the room is... more

I have been staying at the Holiday Inn in Nicosia for most of the year since June on business. The hotel was selected due to its location near to the Ledra Street crossing into the north. The rooms are tired and in the process of being refurbished. Throughout the summer you should avoid the higher floor rooms if you need to sleep, due to the Marco Polo live misic blasting out into the early hours. As I had to work over Christmas my family joined me so I booked executive rooms what a mistake they are right above the function rooms and as... more

Just spent 1 night on Sunday. After reading reviews from other members about this particular property, it is confirmed that all mentioned in the other reviews were correct. Although reception did the jobs what they required to do (just checking in people and hand the key. No explanations about breakfast, restaurants, other hotel facilities or even where the guest lift was, etc. We had to ask!), no personality at all in this hotel and staff. Neither Holiday Inn characteristics nor Cypriot characteristics. It was just a city hotel with minimum... more

Decided on giving the Holiday Inn a second try, only because of its close location to the green zone which I had to cross daily for a client on the other side. While the staff still remains friendly and as accomodating as they can be, the conditions of the hotel greatly outweigh this. Last time I was on the 6th floor right below the restaurant/club. The noise once they opened, was intolerable. This time, I was on the second floor facing the main street. And while having a room with a balcony was nice, that was about it. My room was... more

This is a totally characterless hotel and could be anywhere in the world. There is nothing Greek about its atmosphere and the cuisine available reinforces the point. It is however clean and would suit a single person on business or a couple wanting to spend one night only in Nicosia and see the sights there, such as they are. This is because the rooms – or at least the one experienced – are very small and cramped indeed and there was little space free around the double bed. The air-conditioner is cunningly sited directly under the... more

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Nicosia Center, two nights in August 2006. The room was a good size for the price (£96 cy per night) with a nice bathroom and plenty of towels. The room was nicely decorated. The floor our rooms were on was non smoking, but the room was used by smokers. Two ashtrays, full, were outside the window. Tea & coffee making equipment was present which is missing from many continental hotels, I felt the quantities were mean – Although the staff were happy to supply more FOC. The room was air conditioned but only... more

The Holiday inn was disappointing. I have stayed in a lot of HI but this one was pretty awful. The rooms were lousy although having a balcony helped. It was quite noisy and the rooms were also very small and shabby. The lift was slow and the staff lacksidasical! There were 2 nice restaurants. In particular the rooftop bar and restaurant was lovely and the locals said they went there dancing! My suggestion is that you find a nicer hotel and go for the dancing too! Don't stay at the Nicosia HI!
