Fantastic stay at Princessa Vera Hotel.
We stayed at the Princessa Vera Hotel in Paphos from 20th–27th July 2026, and had a fantastic stay. We would happily recommend the hotel. We stayed in room 218, and the view from our balcony was incredible — we could see both the sea and the pool, which made sitting out on the balcony especially enjoyable. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, but a special mention has to go to Kyriakos on reception, who was absolutely amazing. His recommendations for places to visit and things to do were spot on and really helped us make the most of our stay. One thing that really impressed us was the air conditioning — genuinely the best air con we've ever experienced abroad! It was so effective, which was very welcome in the Cyprus heat. Our room was thoroughly cleaned throughout our stay and was always lovely to come back to. Despite the hotel being near a road and there being a building site nearby, we couldn't hear any road or building noise from our room, which was a pleasant surprise. There was also no sunbed war during our stay! Sunbeds were available throughout the day, so there was no need to get up early to reserve one, which made the pool area feel really relaxed. There was always plenty of car parking available, which was really convenient as we hired a car for part of our stay and used the hotel as a base to explore Paphos and the surrounding area. Breakfast was good, with a decent choice. We found the evening meals could have been better, particularly for picky eaters, as there wasn't a huge amount of choice. That said, drinks were reasonably priced — a bottle of Coke with our evening meal was just €2.50, which we thought was very reasonable. There was one day when the towels weren't delivered until later than usual, but they were replenished in the afternoon, so it wasn't a major issue. We also arranged a late check-out until 8pm for €40. This was subject to availability and had to be booked at reception on the day of departure, but it was a fantastic option for us with a late evening flight and made our final day much more relaxed. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay at Princessa Vera. Great location, lovely staff, fantastic air conditioning, a beautiful balcony view, a comfortable and well-cleaned room, plenty of parking and a relaxed pool atmosphere. We'd definitely consider staying here again if we return to Paphos.
