Our Customer's Reviews of Hotels in Limassol

Londa Hotel
"A very nice and well-designed hotel. Extremely relaxing ambience, great pool area and excellent food. On the negative side, I have to say that the reception and bar areas could have benefited from better lighting as it was very difficult to even read your bar bill! I would have given this hotel 9 out of 10 marks, except that when we arrived, the room we had booked (a twin superior room with balcony) was not available and they gave us a double room, which was not acceptable bearing in mind that both myself and my son are 6 foot tall and the hotel expected us to sleep in the same bed! Obviously, we refused and after about a wait of an hour they finally gave us a twin room, which was very cramped for two people and did not have the balcony that we had paid for. We protested at this and the next day at about 3pm, we finally got the room type that we had paid for. Being on a business trip, we really could have done without being shunted from one room to the next and this messing around really is not acceptable, bearing in mind this is a 5 star hotel. Also, we were not best pleased when the hotel refused to allow us to have a late checkout on the day of our departure, which was the least we felt they could have done for us after the way they messed us around with the room. We had to pay an extra Euro 100 to keep the room until 6pm. Overall this is a nice hotel, but we really did not expect to have to deal with the hassle of being messed around with the room. When on a business trip, the last thing you need is to have to change rooms."

"Advertised as 4 diamonds and recently refurbished. Utter tosh! Reception area was fine, but the rest of the place was awful. Our apartment was dirty and ill furnished. Fortunately we were not catering for ourselves with the exception of breakfast. There were only 2 rings, no oven and poor equipment. The bed linen and towels were only changed once during our stay. House keeping was very poor. The bathroom would have benefitted from a deep steam clean, as the cleaner hardly touched it when she came in. The rest of the apartment was not much better. Incredibly dusty and we believe it was only vacuumed once, although she may have washed the floor on a couple of occasions. All in all, we were very disappointed with our accommodation as it certainly did not live up to its description - it certainly wasn't amongst an orange grove! One good point was that we had been upgraded to a one bedroom apartment instead of the studio apartment booked. Would not go there again."
