I can only speak of the out-of-season experience here - accommodation was reasonable, but housekeeping and cleaning seemed very hit and miss (often the latter); the Italian restaurant was quite acceptable, and, with Bistrot 1900 across the other side of Ledra St, completed the list of two good Euro restaurants in Nicosia. When I did observe the hotel to be rather busy, the breakfast staff were not able to cope very well; with fewer of us they managed quite effectively. I was glad to have a room positioned midway between the 6th floor night-club, and the street, as being the only way to survive the noise. The foyer refreshment area is not special, and pricey as well; two grubby computer stations in the foyer were not inspiring either. The internet 'cafe' a few doors down was the better option (with Skype headsets). I suspect that at the height of the season things could be worse at this hotel, and I shall go elsewhere on another visit.

I had to stay for three weeks on business, and I selected this hotel because it seemed to have good facilities, but actually it was quite a weird place.

I used the pool quite often, as I like swimming, but it was open shorter hours than advertised on the website and in the brochures in the room. It was also used every time I was there (except Sunday morning) by a swimming teacher for local children, one to four children at a time, which I hadn't expected.

The food at Bonzai Japanese restaurant was excellent, although the chefs (very friendly) were from the Philippines, not Japan. The other restaurant Vivere served such enormous meals that I could never eat more than a first course. Both were quite expensive.

The breakfast was nice, but to get coffee, you had to ask a waiter to bring it, rather than getting it from the buffet, and, if it was crowded, or the waiters just decided to go walkabout into the kitchen, you could go without entirely!

The room was not bad, I was away from all the noisy things on the 3rd floor. But the housekeeping! One day I came back at 7:30pm, having been at work all day since 8:30am, to find that the room had not been cleaned. When I told the front desk (the Housekeeping number on the phone never answered), they said I must have put the "Do Not Disturb" sign out, which was not correct. They did call the maid for me to clean while I was having dinner, but she wasn't happy about it.

The maid also left me several times without towels, handtowels or face cloths, sometimes all three.

And the really great day was when I left my washing in the bag in my room with the "washing" sign on the door, at 8am, when I went to work. When I came back in the evening, the sign had been removed from the door and placed on top of the bag of unwashed washing inside the room! This was unbelievably inconvenient, and the front desk didn't apologise or offer to get it done urgently for me.

I wouldn't stay there again, with such erratic service, and it is really very expensive for these things to happen.

I have been in many Holiday Inn hotels in many cities for many years, but this one has nothing to do with the famous firm. It's an extremely expensive hotel taking into account the a so low level of services provided.
The only advantages is the location in the center of Nicosia and the size of the rooms. But....
Everything here is so noisy. I had an executive room (all executive rooms are located on the 1st floor!!!) and I couldn't sleep all night. The nose from the main road was horrible.
The cleanliness of the room is doubtful. Especially this moquette on the floor must be there for many many years....
The bathroom is OK if you don't take into account the always wet and stained buthtab (because of a water leakage...)
The hotel provides wireless internet access to its clients at a very high cost
The hotel is very ... smelly. I don't know how happens and when you are in the corridor you feel like being in the reastaurant.
The reception is very friendly, but all the above this is the least you could expect....

I have been staying at the Holiday Inn in Nicosia for most of the year since June on business. The hotel was selected due to its location near to the Ledra Street crossing into the north. The rooms are tired and in the process of being refurbished. Throughout the summer you should avoid the higher floor rooms if you need to sleep, due to the Marco Polo live misic blasting out into the early hours. As I had to work over Christmas my family joined me so I booked executive rooms what a mistake they are right above the function rooms and as mentioned on other reviews the noise is like haviing a rock group playing live in your room until 0230 int he morning which is hopeless if you are trying to sleep. Complaints about the noise go un-answered. My advice if you have to stay is to ask for a midfloor room numbered between room 08 - 11 on the floor eg 408 its the best of a poor situation.
