Amphora Hotel and Suites

One of my worst experiences. The hotel allegedly is a 4 star hotel and that made me questioned who is responsible for these ratings and with what principles and standards are making these decisions. The room was full of moisture, even the bed sheets were wet. The Air-conditioning wasn’t working properly and combined with the moisture, the temperature was way too high. Furthermore, the door hinges and other metallic items was rusty and the walls chipped.

Amphora Minimalistic hotel with no charm and no feel good vibe. Minimalism taken too far. So far that they have minimized the warmth, the heart of hospitality. Level of service, engagement and happiness with the staff. Cypriots are warm and hospitable. They are smiling and very helpfull. You get almost nothing of that at this hotel. If you want to be left alone and have minimal contact with the staff. Its good. If you want a sterile minimalistic room with no ambiance - then stay here. No space for anything in the silly little bathroom. 1 hook for your towels We complained over our room, which was dirty (bathroom) and did not have unobstructed sea view, as they claim all rooms have. It was smalll and not at all cozy in any way. We wanted our money back and find another hotel. Come back tomorrow they said. Next Day.. come back tomorrow !! And ...by the way - we cant give you the money back as you have not booked directly. You need to fix that yourselves. After much back and forth they offered us a much better room..they said. ..It turned out to be an identical room with a slightly better view! .. Thats not fixing anything - thats just getting your guests to pack and unpack again. And the new better room was next to Lounge 48, playing loud music till midnight. After we changed rooms, nobody followed up. Not one asked if it was better. If we were now happy. No interest at all! We decided to leave a day early. As we checked out no interest was shown as to why. They just didn’t care. And the breakfast!!! Terrible and painfully noisy. Waiters were throwing plates and silverware around. They were irritable and did absolutely nothing to give you a good start of the day. Not once did a waiter greet us and sat good morning ! The breakfast room was a box with two glass walls and tables and chairs. Dreadfull accoustic. I love enjoying a good breakfast on my vacation. Here it was just a matter of getting food quick and leave before you would start your day with a headache. Food was poor to reasonable. Coffee was made from syrup and hot water. The “juice” was made in a machine mixing sugary sirups with water. Awfull. Plain Ribena would be tastier and healthier. And Cyprus has some of the best oranges In the world. Right outside!!! On day two I almost tripped over a dead cockroach right outside the restaurant. The Gym... smelled like a sewer pipe had burst. Floors were wet. Celing coming apart. Not a place you want to train. At all! It seems like nobody enjoys working for Amphora. And the management apparently seems to be almost arrogantly indifferent. Maybe they dont enjoy working there either. We can in no way at all recommend this hotel for anything else but its view of the Paphos sunset. Which indeed is stunningly beautiful.
