New Helvetia Hotel

Very comfortable family run hotel,couldn't do enough for us

Very friendly family run hotel went out of their way to help

A lovely old fashioned place, perched above the village of Platres in the wonderful Troodos mountains. The room was simply furnished, the 'dobule' bed two singles pushed together. No airconditioning, but not required, given the cool mountain air. The furniture and fittings are a bit dated but not a problem, the shower water went cold for a day and had to be fixed. The balcony was charming with a lovely few into the trees. Service was good, as you would expect from a family run place, with a well stocked bar. The breakfast was good, and dinner was available some nights. Wifi coverage on the 2nd floor was non-existent, but very strong by the bar and on the terrace adjacent. The hotel is a short walk into town below and 5 minutes to the Psilo Dendro restaurant and beginning of the Kaledonia falls walk up the hill. We enjoyed our stay and would go back.

Good hotel for walkers It is situated above and amongst the pine trees om the way to the top of the Triodes mountain in Cyprus

Minimal management or staff presence, but pleasant stay notwithstanding. Little car parking space

Friendly folks at the reception. Rather beautiful surroundings, with all the trees in the hills. The hotel looks like a heritage building, with stone walls. There's a nice verandah balcony adjacent to the restaurant where we had breakfast. The common spaces near the reception look and feel cozy.

The hotel is not up to date in almost every way. The facilities and food were below expectations across the board. If someone invested some energy and money into it, it could be very nice.

Nice and relaxing stay, friendly owners

This is definite faded grandeur. The ground floor looks and feels beautiful but the rest of the hotel is tatty - not helped by a lack of cleaning In some of the common parts. Staff were slightly taciturn, but we went out of season and they might have been busy doing other things. The location though is fantastic and, crucially, there is a good breakfast! This hotel could be so much better with some love. As it is, it is over priced.

The hotel is pretty basic but functional.... Close to restaurants and to mountain tracks..., like Caledonia trail.
