The Classic Hotel Nicosia - Handwritten Collection

Overall a good hotel, but it is definitely not a 4 star, far from it. The corridors are dark, room locations confusing and hard to find. The room itself, is not well finished, flooring coming apart. The bedding only had a sheet and I could not find a blanket. Breakfast was very good and check in and out quick. Overall I don’t think it’s worth the money requested, I checked out and took a 3 star hotel walking distance, which is far better and over $100 cheaper. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Dont have much to say on this. The staffs were helpful as they accepted my request to clean the room twice right after arrival since it was not cleaned well.

Everything was dirty starting from bed to toilet on arrival, lots of hair on bed toilet seat filthy. However it was cleaned again on request. Breakfast was very basic same stuffs every morning.

Very dark room.

Likely location and room. But it’s not what you expect from a 4 star hotel. They didn’t respond in chat here, and not ready to help you. I come to Nicosia by bicycle from Larnaca, and ask in chat did they have a possibility to leave bike somewhere. When I come they suggest to leave it in street. On my suggestion to leave it inside luggage room or even in hotel room they reject. After 30 minutes of arguing they finally suggest to leave it inside of conference hall. And all other talks with people here appears to be in same way

Good location, good breakfast, comfortable bed

Noise from the street, a bit cramped hallway (interesting but not for people with disabilities or small children), bottle water only for first night

Classic is a modest looking low-rise hotel near the center of this very large city. Within a few hundred meters away were the bus terminal, the shopping streets, a catholic church, an orthodox church, one of three ancient gates, and one of the pedestrian border gates to enter the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. One major problem with the hotel are the steps. You go up several steps from outside ground level. Some rooms are raised a few steps higher or lower than lobby level, the rooms are raised a few inches above the corridor level, and from the elevator, you have a slight incline up to get to corridor level. The room is quite small so very little space to open two luggages in the room. What was strange was that the bathroom was unusually large - and we kept thinking that some of the T&B space could have been given to the bedroom area. With all that T&B space, they could have put in a bidet. We didn't appreciate that the closeup mirror was so high - you had to be over six feet tall to use it! There is CNN on the TV, which we appreciated. But for some reason, the remote kept malfunctioning and when we called the technician, he thought it was the TV so we had to reset the switch every so often. The safe also didn't work - the technician couldn't find the solution either. We loved the full length mirror, even though it hand framing. The wall above the headboard was cleverly designed - there was a cute fabric with a photo of wild flowers and there was a light behind the photo so when you turned on the switch, the whole wall came alive with the lighted photo wall. The fightable lamps were very modern and we appreciated the clever design too. There was only one window, which looked into a very small courtyard, and one of the blackout curtains had its ends out from the curtain rack so that needed fixing too. They had a hot water kettle which we used regularly. There were enough outlets. The toiletries were via dispensers, which were classy and actually worked. Breakfast was decent - but no egg station for omelets. They had fish regularly, enough breads, enough veggies, and the usual coffee dispenser. As usual, the breakfast place was a few steps down from lobby level.
