Guest Reviews
- Natalia (10/5): -
- Гримашевич (9/5): -
- Belén (1/5): Agresión física y verbal con clientes conflictivos - Nada, la cama no estaba mal Poca higiene, gente muy conflictiva, clientes que me hicieron agresión física y verbal.
- Fırat (1/5): He is scammer, He using the location and scam to people. - Nothing, because I'm not stay in there. He is scammer. Nothing, because I'm not stay in there. He is scammer.
- Miami (1/5): - The location was slightly bearable. The landlord Panagiotis he was extremely aggressive and rude towards me. Threaten to kill me. I'm only here because I'm a cancer patient and the welfare paid for my stay there. However the level of misconduct. Has lead me to be without accommodation for four days that I paid for as a I was too scared to return to the property.
There has been countless problems with the cleaners taking money food and clothes to the landlord threatening to kill people if we report it.
This is unacceptable and appealing behaviour.
- Yu (6/5): - 這間旅館位置優越,雖然屋內不是有很多設備,簡單就可以了,如小廚房可煮食,有洗衣機用,而客廳很寬敞,感覺是不錯的。 我剛到旅館,已收到入屋方法,可惜匙盒密碼不對,等到收到新密碼後,匙盒內沒有門匙,最終弄了近三小時才可入屋內。另方面,發生曾在這住過的租客在退房時不交回門匙,以致他在沒人在屋內時,進入屋內使用設施,弄到屋內很污穢,同時也偷東西,雖然屋主稱已經報案,但始終他有門匙都是一大危險問題。
- Waqas (10/5): -
- Luc (2/5): The owner should get rid of non travelling people and drug addicts - The lady that cleans is fantastic but I didn't see anybody else, the location, the cleaners, the main room. It is a complicated self check in, even a nightmare as the informations were not sent, nobody is in the premise, making a place of choice for drunk and drug user addicts, the place is very unsafe depending on people staying long term. Impossible to sleep and dangerous, some people seem to be there to pick up a fight. That is the reason the comments are so different, if you are lucky the stay could be good.

- Jordan (7/5): Great value for the money, but some of the guests appear not very trustworthy. - The hostel was overall clean, and the location convenient. I liked the functional air conditioning unit in the room, and the spacious bathroom with a bath tub and a shower. It was nice to have large French windows opening into a balcony. My flight arrived late, and there was no attendant at the property. I was only able to get in because there was another guest of the hostel on the second floor’s balcony, who came downstairs with a friend and got in touch with the owner. I could easily have had to spend the night on the street.
- Sebot (3/5): -
- Aymeric (1/5): Disaster. The main problem are the people who are staying there. They are completely crazy and the « hostel » should do - -People smoking inside &
Shouting all night long on the phone
-Someone touched my hand on purpose while I was sleeping (I felt very unsafe) do NOT go there.
-People staying in the place are people with irregular situations (they are not here to visit Cyprus, but to live in that dormitory)
-No reception : I had issues, no one was here to help
-The kitchen had almost no equipments
-It’s not a hostel but a shared appartement
- Emma (4/5): - The location is a big advantage, close to the boarder and in teh city centre. I came there and my Bed wasn't even made, I wa so confused and when I tried to contact the owners communication was poorly and not really helpful.
In this accomodation are no lockers to secure valuable things, so I had to carry them always on me.
- sohail (1/5): -
- Kamran (1/5): - I couldn’t stay at this property because it was shown on Booking.com as if it was in Northern Cyprus, but actually it is in Southern Cyprus.
I was not allowed to cross the border, so I couldn’t enter the area.
I had already paid in advance, but the property didn’t refund my money.
This was very disappointing and unfair because the mistake happened due to the wrong location shown on Booking.

- Valter (10/5): Good and cheap - The location is very good. Close to the border. It's clean and very cheap. Everything went well They could maybe put a filter for water
- Thiébaud (8/5): -
- Adriana (9/5): Clean, nice and well Located place - The apartment was nice and clean, good wifi and location, 2 towels provided Key for lockers, and improve security: the entrance code is obvious.
- Sahondranirina Herimine (9/5): -
- Tamer (10/5): -
- Julian (9/5): Superb -
- Friedbert (6/5): Maybe it’s good or not - think twice - The location and the building are nice - everything you could do by walking. There is a big living room where you can relax. The host send a mail if there was something he could help with - try to reply but failed because was the link from booking.com.
There was used bed sheets and used towels on the bed the owner wrote I should take. The owner seems to rent out this only for a money interest - he never show up only send mail - could not reply. The kitchen equipment are not in a good shape. The cleaning lady is definitely hard on her limit to do all the work - and didn’t know anything what to do - if I asked for help.
The beds in the room are to narrow set up and only made for children if you want sit up from the lower bed. There is definitely personal note from the owner to see - I guess that’s why he is not personal present.
- Vinayak (8/5): Very good -
- Murnie (5/5): If you are looking for a nice place to stay just for a day and on budget, this is the place. But if you are looking comf - The location and overall facilities, minutes away from Ledra checkpoint and intercity bus station. Quiet area and it’s a big apartment with 4 bunk beds fit into a room with spacious common space. Bed is clean and room condition is passable clean. Self check in process was quick and clear instructions given through messages was easy to follow. The only thing is the long terms residence and lack of staff presence. The long term residence whose did not help maintaining the overall cleanliness of the place, they left soiled dish after cooking right inside the sink without washing, even just dirty plates right on the table didn’t even bother to clear. Dirty clothing and towels are laying around the common area, since there’s no staff actually staying or monitoring the place; it was rather out hand I would say. It could have been a better place to be.
- Jmb (5/5): Drug users inside the hostel and out - There is no one that represents the hostel on site other than the Filipino cleaning ladies. They are very nice, but sometimes they rush their work and they sometimes forget to restock toilet paper. Of course, there is a reason why they forget this: there is a 28 year old alcoholic/drug using Cypriot with mental problems who has never worked in his life and who pays monthly that uses at least 3 rolls of toilet paper a day. What he does with it, I have no idea. I stayed there a month myself, so I know his way of "living." He also closes the door loadly every time he goes to the bathroom at night, and he goes several times because he coughs up stuff all day and night, most likely due to heavy smoking. So if the cleaning ladies forget to restock the toilet paper, it must be because they just put 4 rolls there the day before and can't imagine that that is not enough for 2 days. The druggy also sets the heater at 30 degrees Celsius (87 Fahrenheit). He wants to be able to sleep without a blanket and wants to be able to sit and watch tv in shorts even during the winter. This makes the hostel uncomfortably hot. The hostel has all private rooms except for one room that has 2 bunk beds. That room is too small for those 2 bunk beds, so the room is cramped. But the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and dining area are all fine.
- Karageorgis (8/5): Very good -
- Msaaad84 (8/5): Very good - Very good location and very clean and well looked after place Permanent resident/guest are noisy and not friendly and consider the place as if it's their house rather than a hostel to share with all quests with respect and consideration.
- Jmb (8/5): It's a shared flat, not a hostel. - It's right in the center, only about 6 minutes from where the intercity buses stop and start from. The hot water works fine, but you have to hit a button and wait for it to heat up, so no spontaneous showers. But this is better than the water temperature ranging from ice cold to scalding without much in between, which is how it is at NEX Hostel. The cleaning ladies are very nice, though they forgot to put toilet paper in the bathroom my first day there and forgot something else another day. They need to put some hooks on the back of the bathroom door. There were a couple guys who coughed a lot staying there, but they were both heavy smokers. The doors to the rooms don't lock, and even the front door isn't really secure. There is no reception; the only representatives of the hostel that you ever see are the cleaning ladies.
- Olena (7/5): Good -
- Frenzo_ (4/5): Disappointing -
- Davorin (6/5): Great location and price, but don't expect anything fancy - Great location and price.
Not a classical hostel but actually an apartment building. The apartment I was staying in had a big living room with a kitchen, a bathroom and two smaller rooms with bunk beds crammed in (no per-bed curtains, shelves or lamps). The apartment was not well maintained and the floor was dirty. The balcony was quite dangerous with only about a 1 m high fence.
- Waldemar (8/5): Very good -
- Zi (7/5): Good - Good location The shower water isn’t hot, just warm. I’m sick and can’t shower, so I’ll have to move.
- Marcus (2/5): Needs urgently care of behaviour! - Price, location, sufficient kitchen equipment No hostel rules and no control of behaviour: Long-term staying workers want to live like in their own home (press to rule the place: always curtain down and dark light, cold common room, smoking, always very noisy using mobile for extensive internet use without headphone, spreading their stuff all around, expressing their frustration of life instead of exchanging the impressions of the beauty of Cyprus as tourists do). Main door code always open, rotten smelling food in fridge (no labelling), squeaking door of the sleeping room. Ill person in tiny sleeping room for four people who refuses to take a COVID-19 test; thus other hostel guests become ill, including myself. No lockers, no hot shower water when there is no sunshine. Thus, very bad unpleasant atmosphere in a basically nice appartment.
- Γιάννης (8/5): Very good -
- Przemysław (9/5): Very good - Very nice place, lots of space, AC, comfy beds, full-fledge kitchen, great location, affordable No lockers, just some cupboards
- Jorge (10/5): Loved the place. Loved Cyprus. Will return. - Can't improve location. Great Value Explanation to get in was a bit confusing. Other than that, nothing
