Larnaca Seaview Rooms — Hotel in Larnaca

We booked the rooms through Airbnb for 2 nights very cheap but it wasn’t worth it… the pictures and listing are very deceiving, the photos are probably at least 5 years old. The building and rooms are in disrepair, lots of the furniture is broken. We booked 3 rooms which have the shared kitchen and bathroom, this was not advertised on the listing so we could have been sharing with strangers if we hadn’t booked all rooms. The aircon in the living room area didn’t work, the outdoor chairs are broken and the sunshade is ripped and torn. One bedroom is very small and has no windows, the second room has no curtains only blinds which don’t keep any light out. The aircon leaks water, when we left it on and came back 2 hours later it had leaked all over the cabinets and under the bed. The other room the curtains are broken and the mattress is too large for the bed frame. A lot of the wardrobe mirrors are also cracked. The shared bathroom was missing a door so water would get all over the floor. Also none of the hot water works and the kitchen taps leak. When we first arrived we couldn’t check in as we hadn’t been given the codes to the keysafes. We called support and a man came to open them about 30 mins later. They also didn’t give us the codes so when we checked out we had nowhere to leave the keys. The lift was also very old and a bit scary to use. The only good thing about this place was the location, a 2 minute walk...

Sold as 'entire apartment', but it is anything BUT! You have a tiny room entirely taken up by the bed, and EVERYTHING ELSE IS SHARED! And not guests, but long term residents who were cooking fish when I arrived (I smelt it the moment the lift door open - which also stank of very recently burned cigarette smoke!), along with doing mounds of laundry (strewn all over the 'kitchen' floor!). The balcony was full of ashtrays full of cigarettes, but I was just generally shocked by the whole thing..... I WAS PAYING FOR AN APARTMENT ON MY OWN! For the first time ever, I walked straight out, put the keys back in the keybox, and booked another apartment 300m down the road. So now I am battling with these people for a refund, but surprise, surprise...... are now no longer contactable! I will be making an official complaint to Expedia, as I cannot believe they would allow such a false advert to be posted on their site, and no doubt will have to report these cowboys for breaches of the Consumer Rights Act to get my refund (I took plenty of pictures and video!): this is the WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE TO BOOK! FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER DEITY YOU HOLD DEAR..... STAY AWAY FROM THIS...

THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAD TO DEAL WITH IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. WE DID A BOOKING FOR A ROOM BUT IT WAS WITH A. SHARED BATHROOM. AND. WE CONTACTED THE OWNER. IF HE COULD ARRANGE. CHANGING OUR. ROOM FROM A ONE WITH A SHARED BATHROOM FOR A ONE WITH A PRIVATE ONE, HE SAID YES AND HE REASSURED ME THAT HE DID IT, I CONTACTED THE OWNER TWO DAYS BEFORE THE BOOKING BECAUSE I WANTED TO EXTEND MY BOOKING FOR THE ROOM AND HE SAID YES. BUT I FOUND OUT THAT HE NEVER CHANGED THE ROOM AT. FIRST. CAUSE. HE DIDNT WANTED US TO CANCEL THEN, HE OFFERED US TO MOVE TO AN APARTMENT 1 KM AWAY FROM THE BEACH AND. HE FOUND IT. STRANGE THAT WE DECLINED BECAUSE THE REASON WE BOOKED THAT PLACE AT FIRST WAS. FOR THE SEAVIEW, WE WANTED A REFUND AND HE TOLD US. THAT WE CAN GET ONE THROUGH BOOKING. COM. THATS. ALSO A MAJOR LIE AS BOOKING. WANTS. TO CHARGE EXTRA. FOR...
