Louis King Jason

Good size rooms but never cleaned properly.

Staff very polite, helpful and friendly.

Nice enough food available but only at certain times of the day.

Overall no way is this a 4 star place, I would say 2 or 3 star at best, would not stay again.

The apartments were fairly spacious, the staff always helpful and the manager seemed to be there all day over seeing everything. The ten minute or so walk to the harbour was not too tiring and well worth the effort especially at night, although ask Maria on reception the way. The Full Moon pub just around the corner from the apartments does a good value full breakfast until 4Pm for 1.9 Cy Pnds.

We stayed at the King Jason and found the apartments to be extremely clean and comfortable. The hotel is about 15 minutes walk from the harbour and sea front, but a very pleasant stroll past some of the historic sites and restaurants.

Cyprus is a very nice place to visit, as everything is so easy - drive the same side of the road, lot of English spoken and the Cypriots are very friendly.

Hire a car and venture out of Paphos and you will be rewarded with spectacular coastal and mountain scenery, villages where time stands still, herds of goats and of course Cyprus cats! Some of the roads are not what we are used to, but are passable. A 4x4 hire car will take you anywhere without too much trouble.

There are loads of places to eat and were very reasonable. We found a place where you could have a three course evening meal for £5 Cyprus currency. The food was plentiful and very nice.

We are planning to revisit Paphos and would definitely stay at the King Jason again.

Overall good but not great. It had its very good points and it's very bad points. Lovely reception area, but cats absolutely everywhere crawling all over the tables and chairs and lounging on the floors.

Nice Pool area but it was quite small and I thought it too full of noisy kids unfortunately. I noticed some people had put towels by the pool at half two in the morning lol even though there was no need really it wasn't that busy.

Some nice touches bottle of Ouzo on arrival and some Jam at the end of our stay.

About a ten to fifteen minute walk to the harbour. You are a little out of the way and it's not a particularly pleasant walk past the stinky bins and grubby streets especially when it's so hot, but it has good restaurants in the harbour area and bar street although they are overpriced. We found a nice bar called Friends which was cheaper than the ones on bar street but still next to it

Grazie Italian was good but pricey and Alkion on bar street for a mezze.

I thought the rooms looked a bit tired, glad I wasn't sleeping on the sofas as the mattresses bowed in the middle, don't know where they go the picture of that bedroom from above, must be the honeymoon suite cos the rooms look nothing like that.

The one MAJOR problem we had was with the bathroom I've seen nicer ones in a 2 star hotel.

My 6 foot 3 boyfriend couldn't even stand up in bathroom and it was even worse when he got in the pathetic bath and shower as he had to stoop over double almost just to get under, the bed

room itself was a good size though noisy air con.

Overall I’d say more of a nice 3 star hotel than a 4 star apart from the reception which was nice and plush.

DO NOT GO ON EGYPT TRIP we complained as you only actually get to spend about thirty to forty minutes at the pyramids, we were sorely disappointed however they think nothing of dragging you to a gold shop and a papyrus shop and locking you in there for up to an hour each to buy things. So two hours in gifts shops and thirty five minutes at the pyramids sorry but not what I signed up for so BEWARE of this.

Recently stayed at the King Jason and was disappointed that it is advertised with Thomson as Kidzone. Having chose most of my hols with Thomson for its kidzone activities for children, I was dissatisfied along with all the parents I had spoke to about the lack of activities for children.

Yes there was kids club but no daytime activities around the pool, and there were no evening activities for the children to enjoy with the parents. Having two young children under 6 we found there was nothing to do which was quite boring for them.

The hotel is nice and is suitable for couples and retired people who enjoy the secluded tranquil setting.

The food served was good but the snack bar closed at 3pm and no food was available until 6.30, which was not very good for small children.

The restaurant is situated in the main reception and has a divider to separate but it makes it very cramped and imposing on those sitting in reception waiting for taxis and checking in/out.

Andreas and Maria were excellent at making you feel very welcome, as they were very friendly.

You really could do with a hire car, as it is a long walk in the 40 degree heat to the restaurants and shops each day.

The rooms are spacious but the air conditioning is very noisy at night keeping us awake quite a bit. The facilities in the apartments are good and the TV had sky sports 1, BBC news, and MGM (an old movie channel) again though no children’s TV.

The onsite supermarket was very expensive and a couple of times I heard people complaining about out of date English biscuits and prices being changed daily to almost double the ticket price on the day before.

The harbour is lovely and there is abundance of restaurants and bars to suit all.

I love Cyprus but wouldn't go back to King Jason.

My boyfriend and I went to Cyprus and stayed at the King Jason for a week at the end of August. Although the King Jason was a nice place, it was a little too quiet for us and a bit too much out of the way.

The hotel consists of families and is great for families with small children, however as the pool is only small itself it got very crowded and noisy! There was no daytime or evening entertainment either. The weather itself was amazing, boiling hot every single day.

My boyfriend and I spent our last few days at the beach as there was a breeze there and by the pool was unbearable in that heat. The rooms were very basic but they were clean enough and had everything you needed, however as the aircon only works in the bedroom, it took a bit of getting used to. Staff were very friendly and at first we thought drinks at the pool bar were reasonable but after being at the harbour for a few nights, we soon realised they were a little expensive (2 cokes CY£5.60 - at the harbour they were about CY£2.60).

The harbour of a night-time was nice, nice restaurants and it was lovely eating overlooking the water. Reasonably priced as well. Bar Street is very loud and lively. We went there on the first night and that was the only night. Barmen were very enthusiastic and gave us about 10 free shots each so we didn’t enjoy the next morning. Be careful of the guys and girls trying to get you into there bars and pestering you. However we visited a few quieter bars on the front which are nicer to relax in.

We hired a speedboat for an hour which was really good fun, try and haggle a bit with the guys though. We also went on a speedboat trip called 'tiger boat', it was described as a 'rollercoaster on water – ‘wave jumping' its certainly not, for those who want to relax, but that was a really good adventure and even though it only lasted about 25 minutes, it was worth it.

Overall the holiday was amazing, I would give my overall holiday and Paphos 10/10 but I would only give the King Jason 8/10.

I stayed at the King Jason Hotel in May last year with my mum and younger brother (16). I am 18 and found the hotel amazing.

The reception was very impressive. When we arrived at 2am there was somebody waiting to take us to our room and he even carried our cases for us!

The rooms were very large and clean and had everything you could possibly need in them, you could quite easily live there! We even had a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived and a pot of honey half way through the week. I thought this was a lovely gesture.

The pool area was great and there was no difficulty getting a lounger. Nobody put towels on the loungers to reserve them which i thought was good. The indoor pool was freezing, the gym was great, but unfortunately the sauna was not in use during my stay.

The only downside to this holiday is the location it is absolutely miles away from shops, restaurants, bars etc. I found it very irritating having to walk backwards and forwards every time you wanted to get something to eat or go to the beach. The walk back is mostly up hill and is very tiring in the heat.

I did not feel at all safe at night as the hotel is in a VERY residential area and nobody around the hotel speaks a word of English. So we opted to drink in the hotel bar most nights and found this to be very relaxing but almost deserted.

This hotel is brilliant if you want a quiet relaxing holiday miles away from civilization but if you want to get out and explore I would recommend a hotel closer to the harbour.

Pathos itself is lovely and would definitely return although not to the King Jason as it was too residential for me. I also highly recommend hiring a car and exploring the island as we did. The tomb of the kings is a MUST, it is phenomenal. I hope this review helps.

We came back from our 10 day holiday yesterday and all we can say is that the previous reviews on this hotel were spot on - what a great hotel!

It is located about 10-15 minutes from the centre of Paphos which isn't too far to walk but can be a little tiring during the day with the heat in July. We had 74% humidity so sweating off the previous evening's dinner from the excellent on site restaurant wasn't hard!

By the way... do eat in the hotel a few nights. Cyprus is expensive, but the quality of food in the hotel restaurant was first class and for only Cyp£9.95 each you are treated to a 4 course meal with Port or Keo Brandy at the end. It is a buffet style meal, but the value, quantity and choice is exceptional and you will not find nicer food in any of the restaurants in Paphos itself.

As it is located in a residential area it is very quiet, but the bars are not too far away. Paphos itself is one of the better areas on the island which cater for tourists - Limmasol looked like a nightmare when we drove through with high-rise apartments all over, so we we're thankful we chose this resort.

The hotel itself offers a high standard of accomodation and the apartments have 2 air-conditioning units - 1 in the bedroom and 1 in the lounge. TV, Microwave, Electric Hob, Oven, Kettle etc are all included in the room. However as for most self caterers we just had a spot of breakfast and maybe a sandwich during the day so we never really took full advantage of these facilities. The electric points in the room we're all UK 3-pin design so no need for travel adaptors etc.

On arrival the staff had left a bottle of Keo Brandy in our room which was a nice gift to welcome us and on departure we we're left a jar of honey and a note thanking us for stopping with them - two very nice touches we thought.

The pool area is a nice and relaxing place to spend most of your day soaking up the sun and the bar is open from early in the morning until midnight and offers a great choice of drinks and food. The small supermarket on site has a great choice of drinks and food also, so you don't have to go far to get essential items.

Andreas (the hotel manager) wanders around the hotel from 8.00am until 8.00pm and works very hard to ensure your holiday goes without a hitch. For a few days we thought he was British but he told us that he moved back to Cyprus 25 years ago from the UK. If you need any questions answering he is the guy to ask, but saying that all of the staff were excellent. Both polite and put themselves out to help you enjoy your holiday as much as possible.

We would recommend hiring a car for a few days to go and see the sites. We travelled with Thomson and both the excursions and car hire was very expensive. Just behind the hotel we found a car hire firm next to the supermarket. Cyp£22.00 per day for a brand new Ford Fiesta including full insurance... Thomson wanted Cyp£40.00 per day for the same car and Cyprus is expensive enough without being over charged by them!

Once you have your car you can easily explore the island and local resorts. Nicosia is about 2hrs 30 mins away via the motorway and Limmasol is approx 1hr. Locally you will find the Tomb of the Kings which is a nice place to visit if you like greek history and only costs Cyp£1.00 each to get in. The mosaics near to the harbour are a little boring, but I suppose when you're there it's probably worth a visit.

Overall we had a great time and went away just to relax rather than party so the King Jason is perfect for this.

Would be go back? Yes

Same hotel? Yes

Recommend? Yes

Great hotel, lovely staff, the best self catering holiday we have ever had!

We have just come back from staying at King Jason Apartments in Paphos, Cyprus.

We have had the best holiday, the apartments were nice and clean. The staff cannot be more helpful and friendly and as you may have read in previous comments the manager Andreas is a really nice guy who will make sure your stay is the best.

We had dinner and had a couple of meals on a night at the hotel, the food is really nice although the second time we ate at the hotel was not as nice as the first time and was a little disappointing.

The only reason I have not given it a 10 out of 10 is just because of the location it was a little out of the way but it’s not too bad.

There were some lovely restaurants nearby you must go to Fat Mamas which is brilliant it’s like TGI Fridays but with entertainment while you eat, it’s not too in your face though its only for about 10 mins and the food is great.

Another place we liked was Almond tree which if you fancy a Chinese are lovely although that’s not all they serve. If you want to get a taxi they will charge you between £4 - £5 CYP pounds to go anywhere on the island so even if you’re only going down the road it will be the same.

Anyway we had an ace time and would without a doubt stay at King Jason again, I’m already wondering about booking for next yr.

We have just spent an excellent two weeks at these apartments they were the cleanest apartments we have ever stayed in. Nothing was too much trouble for the very friendly manager and his very helpful staff - we will definitely return.

This was our first visit to Cyprus and feel we made a great choice of accommodation and country as the people of the island were very friendly.
