Hotel Traveler Reviews
According to travelers, the hotel is very well located. In a couple of minutes you can walk to the coastline, port, archaeological museum and other cultural and historical monuments. Some of the windows of the hotel overlook the square of the Apostle Paul.
Quite spacious rooms are available at the Basilica Apartments 3 * hotel. Reviews about them are mostly good. They are regularly cleaned, often changed bed and towels. Tips for cleaning do not take. The rooms are furnished with good furniture, equipped with excellent fixtures. Among the hotel staff there is always a Russian-speaking manager.
The restaurant serves delicious food. They offer dishes with 2-3 types of meat, fish, various side dishes (several varieties), sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. Apples, oranges and bananas are stacked in a basket, melons and watermelons are cut into slices. In addition, they serve soups, pastries, 1-2 types of cakes, a couple of different puddings.
From Basilica to the best beach of Coral Bay of Paphos, you need to go 30 minutes. The shore there is really luxurious and comfortable, unlike those near the hotel. Two beaches are adjacent to the hotel; tourists prefer to relax on a more well-groomed sand spit near the Alexander Gray Hotel.
Guests are not always immediately settled in the "Basilica" due to lack of free apartments. They are offered to stay in neighboring hotels for a while. Not every traveler likes this, especially if the living conditions in an alternative hotel leave much to be desired.
