Kind of a mixed bag. The good: Great location, very walkable to wonderful sites of Limassol. The hotel was very clean, and our room was extremely quiet, comfy temperature, and we slept great. Very good water pressure in the shower, and very nice complimentary toiletry amenities provided.
The mid: Never once was there someone at reception, and it was a little strange to have to go to the store 2 doors down to find someone. The hotel feels stark and empty, which could have left me feeling a little unsafe, if I had been alone. Apart from right at reception, there are no chairs/seating anywhere (just a single chair in the empty hallway). There's a cute-looking courtyard but no furniture in it. And not even a chair in the room. So, it was a little strange and unwelcoming-feeling. Also, bits of our room were falling apart - a towel rack here, a shower handle there.
The really-could-use-improvement: When I made the reservation 3 months in advance, I was sent an email with links to further instructions + online check-in. These links were broken, and although I tried to contact the hotel several different ways, I did not get a reply. We did get a check-in notice the day before, which did work, so I was at least secure that our room was held. But the lack of response was just, again, a little unwelcoming. Also, parking in the area is quite tight, and it would have been good to have more info about that before we arrived. It did wind up fine, though. Also, our room did not have any toilet paper in it (nor any place to keep any). Fortunately the supply closet across the hall was ajar so we were able to find some, but that was definitely a first for me.
Altogether, I might seek out a different place next time for a new experience, but La Maltese was definitely clean, safe, and good sleep, so maybe I would...
Read moreStaying for two nights, we loved the area, close to Old Town but was so disappointed with the shower and toilet arrangements. A lovely building set on the corner near the seafront we asked for a balcony when booked but our room had a window instead which was such a shame as would have been fabulous to have an outside area and spoilt our stay. The room was large and ceilings high with minimalistic furnishings hiding plenty of storage. It was clean and tiled wooden floor with blackout curtains. Lovely big bed. Unmanned reception most of the time but if you need anything then the staff run the shop on the corner so they are on hand. Refreshments were not replenished but we did not bother to find them to ask for more. No parking and very difficult to find in the area but there is a multi story car park 10 minutes away with 12 floors! What we both disliked immensely was the two glass cubicles in the room for the shower and WC. I love my husband dearly but neither of us wants to sit on the loo with a glass partition separating us from each other hearing every noise left little to the imagination! Would I stay again or recommend? Only if I could be guaranteed a balcony room and the toilet arrangements were...
Read moreI stayed for one night in Limassol for work. The hotel is centrally located in a lively and touristic area, just a short walk from the seafront.
I was given Room 9, which was spacious and faced an inner courtyard, so there was no street noise. However, sounds from the hallway and nearby rooms were noticeable. The room itself felt a bit dark, as natural light only comes from the bathroom window and the small balcony.
Check-in was smooth and efficient. I arrived late at night and entered the room using a code, which was very convenient. When I left around noon, there was no one at the reception.
Breakfast is not provided, but there are plenty of cafés and restaurants right below the hotel.
Overall, this is a pleasant and convenient place for a short...
