Anemi Hotel Apartments

“The Anemi Hotel & Suites is a wonderful, recently revamped and cosy boutique hotel, located in the centre of Paphos. We visited Anemi in December 2019 and we were very satisfied with every aspect of the hotel including the spacious and modern rooms, the facilities and service. The staff was very polite and helpful, making our stay very pleasant and comfortable. In addition, the location was very convenient for getting around Paphos and in close proximity to the beach and numerous restaurants and shops. During our stay, the Hotel had the opening of their “Kipos” roof terrace, which is an idyllic “must visit” venue with beautiful views of the Mediterranean sea, the Medieval Castle and Paphos city. We would definitely recommend this hotel for couples, families, business trips and for anyone who would like to enjoy a relaxing stay in a “home away from home” Hotel.”

Just on my way home after a week a the Anemi which is quite a classy boutique style hotel, unfortunately for me somethings wern’t right. I booked a package with TUI and when I booked it clearly said ‘superior studio with pool view & balcony’ - can’t go wrong I thought, however when I arrived I had a balcony alright but it was overlooking the street and within touching distance of the front door of the local nightclub! My immediate thought was to go down to reception and kick up a stink but first decided to look at my booking confirmation from TUI to confirm the facts - alas the confirmation didn’t mention the pool view so I felt I didn’t have a leg to stand on. I am adamant that when I made the booking it did say pool view. The accommodation was to a high standard with the possible exception of the over bath shower which would often run cold or only luke warm in the morning and wasn’t particularly powerful. Everything else was very clean and modern. I was particularly impressed by the huge comfortable bed and TWO flatscreen TVs, The weather was pretty poor for the first couple of days but that’s what you expect in January, but after that improved considerably with pleasantly warm sunny days and cool nights. I’m sorry to say that the wifi was touch & go sometimes, having 30 minute breaks before reconnecting, and seldom worked at all in certain parts of the studio. I can’t comment on the food as I was self catering - the first time I’ve done so in many years, but I was impressed with the facilities in the studio, including double electric hob,modern electric oven, microwave, and fridge with a small freezer compartment. It was disappointing that there were no sun loungers at all around the pool, rendering that part of the hotel useless unless u fancied sitting on the concrete floor, even tho it was a glorious sun-trap. On the Saturday the music from the nightclub went on until 5am and was audible despite the new balcony doors and windows. I can only imagine what it would be like in high season when the club is busier & it would be necessary to have the windows & doors flung open. Situation is excellent being only 5-10 minutes walk to paphos harbour and having loads of decent bars and restaurants in the vicinity. In short a really nice hotel but PLEASE make sure you book the pool view side of the hotel and NOT the street (nightclub) side. I don’t blame the hotel for this, I blame TUI.
