Could be a nice hotel but has problems. The rooms, both old and new, are in a poor state of repair and certainly the cleaning standards need to be improved greatly. Arrived and was allocated our 'superior' room 214, very dated, dirty bathroom ceiling, stained bed, thinnest mattress ever. Immediately asked to be moved as the room was unacceptable. Hotel was full of students and contractors so could not be moved until the following day. Moved to 513. Laminate floor worn, stained and damaged, skirting falling off, bathroom ceiling panels not installed properly, towel rail falling off. Bed not changed and bath not cleaned until I asked reception after 6 days of thinking they will do it tomorrow. bedding and towels old, fraying and discoloured. Wall mounted hairdryer not wall mounted so the plastic box swings about when drying hair. Had to ask for toilet roll. Little bottles of handwash and shampoo provided, surely wall mounted refillable dispensers would be better for the environment. Cleaning was terrible. The car park next door is where the kids rev the knackers off their cars of an evening and feels unsafe at night- some friends were hassled there. The road at the bottom of the street is noisy and busy. The goodish things: The food from the a la carte menu was good, the chefs were fab. The outside bar was nice and the bar staff were lovely. But, the draft beer ran out 2 days before we left so had to pay extra for bottled beer. The pool area is nice and you can watch the skyscraper being built a few blocks down whilst relaxing in the sun! the pool area could all do with a good washing down though to remove the bird poo and spilt drinks. Limassol itself seems to have lost any charm it ever had, its locally owned bars and restaurants have mostly closed and are being replaced with Café Nero, Starbucks, KFC, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, etc. The harbour area seems to be for millionaires, not your average holidaymaker and there are more plans to add big shiny expensive apartment blocks along the sea front. Would I go again? Absolutely not. I will return to Rethymnon in Crete where I know its clean and safe and I will be able to eat locally sourced home-made food , meet local people and enjoy the cleanliness of the small but perfect Astali hotel.
