AlkioNest Hotel Apartments

We went off-season, and it was very quiet. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The property is basic and tired, but the price was reasonable. The location suited us - away from the main town, but with some shops, restaurants, and a nice patisserie .

After a weeks stay in a villa in Latsi, TUI booked us this hotel for a day room. We arrived at 10am and left at 6pm. We were given a key to a room, but when we entered the room it had not been cleaned from the previous occupants. I let reception know and the room was cleaned straight away. The staff were apologetic and the situation was sorted. We literally spent the day by the pool and only just the room for a shower before our flight back. The room was dated but air con worked and it was clean so that’s all that mattered. The pool area was ok but there was no bar facilities so we just walked over the road for lunch and snacks. Suited our needs for the day. Unsure if I could stay a week here- to far away from “tourist” areas

+ big studio for 2 people + very big and comfortable bed + calm room (opposite side of the "main" road) + possibility to enjoy the swimming pool out of the opening hours (very much appreciated) + pleasant staff + parking spot at the rear of the building + good internet connection - no elevator (not that I saw): for elderly people or family with kids, or with heavy luggage, no convenient - as we stayed only one night, we can't comment on the equipment of the kitchen

Lovely friendly run hotel/apartments. Quiet and good feel about it. We even got a room up grade. RESULT

Hotel was at a good location, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The studio had everything required for a comfortable stay. The hotel has a private parking and lots of shops nearby in case you require something.

Can't rate this accomadation highly enough, perfect location, friendly owners and nothing is too much trouble. The room was lovely and we spent hours on the balcony looking out at olive groves and the sea in the distance. It's a short walk into Polis which is a chilled Cypriot village with fab taverna's and great people. Everything you need on your doorstep, supermarket, bakery and taverna over the road. it's exactly what we love, relaxed and friendly, 5 star all inclusive accommodation is not cup of tea and this place ticked all our boxes. Would recommend and will be back!

We had asked for a quiet 1 bedroom, self-catering apartment and were given one at the back which was reasonably quiet. It lacked character but was clean and had good storage, a large bedroom, ideal sized balcony (with evening sun, perfect), powerful over-the-bath shower and met our needs well. Blackout blinds were very effective. The bed was a bit hard but we did sleep well most nights. There was soap and body wash in the bathroom, more than adequate loo roll and the apartment was serviced daily. There was WiFi but we had to move around the apartment sometimes to get it. We made good use of the pool. We were able to borrow an iron. The location was brilliant, less than 10 mins to walk to the centre of Polis for a variety of bars and restaurants (plus ATMs and post office) but great facilities within one minute of the apartment: brilliant cheap restaurant across the road, alongside a well-stocked supermarket, a bakery and a gelateria, plus next door to a decent kebab shop and a bowling alley. We would go back again.

Starting with the positives, bed sheets and towels are very clean, which is THE most important issue for me. Staff is very friendly and willing which saddens me to write a negative review. Also, next to the lodging is probably one of the best Gyro houses in Cyprus and across the street you can find two mini markets and an excellent bakery, which is very convenient. That is about it on the plus side. What strikes the most with the hotel-apartments is how seriously dated they are. I previously visited this place somewhere about 20-22 years ago (it was called “Lover’s Nest” –not what the title implied though) and it has probably not had any renovation since. Furniture is seriously dated. One of the a/c units was so old I was afraid to switch it on. The toilet ventilator is all about noise and no suction. The bath tub had mould around the edges and the shower certain was uninviting. The toilet seat had permanent yellow stains!!! Upon arrival I decided that a disinfectant was necessary so I went out and I bought one. Kitchen equipment: There was an ancient electric stove and a kitchen ventilator. The ventilator had no tube to take fumes outside the apartment so it is practically useless. However there was only one power socket for the both of them! The socket didn’t work! In fact, in my apt at least 3-4 sockets had something stuck inside them that didn’t allow the plugs to be fully inserted and thus didn’t work. Seems like either an intended problem or a serious lack of property maintenance. My room was on the front of the building, by the road which was noisier. There were two aluminium sliding doors/windows for added insulation and sound proofing. However the sliding doors wouldn’t lock so anyone could easily jump on the balcony from next door and pop into the apartment effortlessly. My company stayed at another apartment with similar issues. Their main bed was supported by a brick (something wrong with the bed balance). Also, the place is full of small ants that would bite and leave a small infection (found in the bathroom, on the towels, etc). Couldn’t leave food lying around nowhere, not even sealed tight inside a plastic bag. There were also silverfish in one of the apartments. There are 4-5 covered parking spots for the whole complex and an empty plot of land at the back of the complex where residents can also park (the plot is not illuminated or covered with asphalt). Wifi: No reception in rooms. Probably only in the lobby. I wouldn’t stay there again, but if I had to I wouldn’t value it for more that €25-30/night. I had to pay an outrageous amount of €80/night (breakfast not included).

no wifi in the room as they said on the website, found some glasses pieces on the floor.

this was our first staying at this hotel and it was lovely spotless clean and very comfortable apartment the pool area was nice and we had drinks pool side and lunch the food was very good home made this is a very nice family run hotel appartments we will go back again x x
