Alecos Hotel Apartments

"We visited hotel in October for 14 days and my friends parents came out 4 days later for 10 days. Place was recommended buy my friends parents John and Carol, who have visited this hotel for 5 years, and absolutely love it. Totally agree with them, place is lovely, rooms are good sized cleaned daily fresh towels replaced every 3rd day or when asked. Food was great, staff were so friendly, really make you feel welcome and very attentive to your needs. Different show every night, saw Elvis he was so good. Would recommend this hotel to anyone, centrally located only few mins walk to harbour. Don’t listen to much to negative reviews, you can’t please everyone but for the cost it’s 5 star. Thanks for making my holiday a good one, see you soon, Nathan"

"I’m not sure where to begin. We arrived around 9pm, to a very busy and loud bar area (you have to walk through the bar to reception) We got hackled off the entertainment for walking through, once at reception got greater by a Scottish gentleman, who seemed friendly enough. Took us to the bottom of the stairs of where our room was and that was it. Once in the room our hopes slipped a little further. Tatty decor, thread bare towels. Broken/dirty flooring in main living are and bed room. (Only saving grace was the bathroom was relatively new so seemed clean and tidy) Living space and bedroom were tatty and definitely in need of a lot of TLC. Air con is extra money, safe is extra money. There is no hair dryer, and the kitchenette is very very basic. There was very little to be pleased about in the room, unfortunately. We also found out the Jet2’s ‘close to nightlife’ meant its next door to a night club. And there’s another several bars (along with the hotel bar ‘friends’ being extremely loud) The night club is around about 10pm-5am working hours. The bar downstairs has loud entertainment also late into the night. So over all a really bad place to be if your looking for chilled out relaxing holiday. We also had issues with bedding and towels not being changed. After 4 nights we still didn’t have clean bedding or towels. So I went to reception asking for new towels and explained nothing had been changed. The lady was nice and explained we should have been changed every 3 nights and explained nothing had been done. The cleaners kept hanging our towels on the balcony! The cleaner then turned up within a few minutes apologised, told me there was someone off sick and had too much to do, replaced our towels and left. The next day (day 5) we came back to fresh bedding and that’s all we had within the week we were there. The swimming pool. Well what can I say. I wasn’t expecting to use the pool due to it being November but on first inspection I was 99% sure I would have died getting into it. It was green. And I mean green! The sun loungers around the pool seemed in poor condition off with the umbrellas. You also have to go through the car park to get to the pool as it’s in a tiny little back corner (weirdest pool placement I have ever know) However the pool did seem to get cleaned at some point during the week as I went over to have another look and looked like a little bit of TLC had been done. Honestly my overall opinion of this hotel is to avoid. The saving grace for it was the location as you were on the front of paphos within a 5 minute walk. But unfortunately Alecos has nothing else great to offer. We had a drink in the friends bar on a night(once) and on our departure day we had some food. The food was really quite good from the meal we had, but cannot comment on anything else. Staff seemed polite enough, but never felt welcomed by them. Unfortunately for me the hotel just wasn’t good. And I don’t understand the 3 star rating it receives at all."

"I normally don't write bad reviews and it pains me to have to write this but I think its only fair that what we encountered is aired Hotel itself is a bit dated but was nice and clean no issue with that and maid service was daily and the little old lady that did ours was lovely.Bar downstairs was OK food was fine entertainment was hit and miss although the Elvis show was fantastic Now on to my issues our room was robbed but there was not a visible sign of a break in all windows were locked all doors were locked so it had to be someone with a key or access to a key. now on to the things that were stolen 1:a pair of prescription sunglasses and case no use to anyone 2:a cheap phone charger 3:a watch with a broken strap 4;a large bag of crisps 5;a packet of mints 6:a packet of coffee beans Because our valuables were locked in a safe I think the thief robbed the things out of spite most of them practically worthless.! I went down to reception to report my glasses missing (we hadn't notice the other stuff then) was told have we mislaid er well no they have been taken was asked do I want the police I could have said yes but what was the point they probably wouldn't do anything so I said no. The receptionist said the general mgr would be in soon and she would tell him and the cleaners,and this is where I got really pissed thinking the mgr would be after getting in touch to see what happened well that never happened total disinterest. The day we checked out the same receptionist asked did you find your glasses!!!!!!!! So cannot recommend this place if they have thieves beware Also the WIFI in our block was absolutely awful"
