The Classic Hotel Nicosia - Handwritten Collection’

When we arrived the reception manager was wonderful and walked us to our room. The room was great, no issues there. Our issue is with the Blue Bar at the hotel. They flat out refused us service because we didn’t have a reservation nor did we want to order food. The reception manager invited us to the bar for an evening of 70’s-90’s music with a DJ. We thought that sounded great and when we arrived to the bar, the bar manager informed us that since we didn’t have the reservation nor did we want food right then, that we would have to sit in the lobby if we wanted rinks. The bar was completely empty while this was going on. I think the “Blue Bar” caters only to locals and could care less about hotel guests. That was strange and very uncomfortable. Or she just didn’t like us. I was even dressed up so it wasn’t our appearance.

Great location in spite of being across the road from the fire station. Very clean and comfortable with very friendly helpful staff. Excellent air conditioning which was essential as it was 40 degrees outside even at 5 pm. Downside was the en-suite bathroom. There was a step to enter, very small area at the sink then two high steps to get up to the toilet and shower. Very difficult to access the shower in the bath as there’s a swinging glass door to negotiate. Can’t understand why any interior designer or architect could think this is a good idea! My husband fell down the steps when he got out of the shower but luckily recovered himself and isn’t injured. The full length window overlooking the main road has no privacy curtains. So you’re open to the firemen looking in, or in the dark!

I have mixed feelings after my stay at Classic hotel. I stayed in 2 different rooms. 1st room was really awful.....No balcony, no window just an exit to an empty underground space with limited light and dirty floor!!!!! A big NO from me....... 2nd day I stayed in another room with street view, clean but tidy.....Staff was kind, helpful and efficiently assisted me to change rooms. Breakfast was tasty. Overall, 1/5 for the 1st room and 4/5 for the 2nd.......

I recommend this good hotel, nice service with nice people, nice breakfast, good food, nice rooms. This is a very simple and not pretentious place and affordable fees. I'll come back whithout hesitation.

It was very clean and nice hotel. Also the breakfast and lunch was good. We used conference rooms that were also well equipeed. The hotel location is good, not more than 5 minutes from the central Nikosia bus station.
