All I can say is fantastic. Staff were great. Rooms clean, and cleaned daily, entertainment good, location, a long way to walk after a night on the sauce at the harbour............

I had read the reviews on The Theofano Hotel once I had booked my holiday, and was with complete hesitation about continuing with my trip. This anxiety was pointless. I found both the staff and hotel management to be extremely friendly and helpful.
I agree the hotel is situated a little to far away from the harbour to be suitable for a family with young children, but for my family over the christmas and new year period it was perfect.

We stayed last year (only found this website today!). Maybe we went to this hotel at the wrong time of year!
I'm 25 and the next nearest person in age apart from my partner must have been a couple in their early 50's.
The food was awful and the wine was worse than french 69pence from Calais!
The staff are very nice but they are a little slow to clear plates from tables.
Breakfast - best eaten elsewhere! Poor in fact I'm sure that it was worse every day. The toast was very good. What entertainment? oh yes my orther half after a few too many! and don't forget the Saga gang! Pity the rep wouldn't allow uss to join in!

We booked this hotel before reading holiday truths and therefore went with some trepidation.We booked bed and breakfast but got half board thrown in for free.We weren't bothered about eating at the hotel but for a 3 star hotel the variety and quality were good.I dont know wheather we stayed in the old or new part as I couldn't work it out but we overlooked the main pool.The room was cleaned every day and was ok. We rented a fridge which I would definately do again and a safe.We didn't bother with the entertainment prefering to go to the bars with live music.I wouldn't recommend this hotel for children as it is approx 1 mile from Paphos harbour and 1/4 mile from the beach. Bus service is very good (aircon buses) for 50p flat rate fare.All in all for a 3 star hotel it was very good staff are friendly breakfast very good buffet style.

3 star and so food pretty bland but plentiful. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly and cleanliness excellent. Pools clean and poolside facilities OK. A few sunbeds in need of replacement.
Entertainment as you would expect and not noisy or even audible throughout the hotel or in the rooms.
Hotel is some distance from harbour and the frequent bus service is needed to get anywhere without a longish walk on a roughish road,but there are plenty of good restaurants close by.
In late May daytime temps were high but a cool wind blew up each evening needing a sweater to be comfortable.

My family (2 adults 2 children) stayed for a 4 day break at the Theofano in February 2004. We had booked a family room on the first floor, but when we got there found that we had been allocated a room on the ground floor in the old half of the hotel right opposite the restaurant where they served breakfast. We asked to move and were offered a choice of two rooms on the first floor, still in the old part of the hotel but on the first floor as requested.
The hotel itself was basic but clean and the staff were courteous and welcoming. It is only 3 star after all. Both pools were clean and there weren't too many cats about, much to my daughters disappointment. We stayed on a B&B basis and breakfast was good - lots of choice and plenty to eat. It is about 15 minutes walk to the main harbour area but there are no hills and there is a frequent bus service if you don't fancy the hike.
Towels were changed daily and the beds made. The bar was reasonable and the girls loved the non-alholic cocktails.
We might go back to the Theofano again, but will definitely return to Cyprus.

I booked to stay at this hotel before I checked it on the truth guide and I was a bit worried to hear that there was an old and new part to this hotel.
There was no mention of this in the brochure so I called the hotel directly only to be told I was in the old part.
I expalined that I wasnt very happy with this and the manager moved me into the new part of the building. I would definately recommend checking what part your staying in. I felt the brochure was a bit decieving in that respect.
I never saw the rooms in the old part myself but some of the guests that were staying in the old part were very disappointed.
The pool area was lovely and clean but I would recommend getting a sun lounger quite early as it was very busy.
We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and the selection was very good. I wasnt sure about all the cats hanging about the breakfast area though!!!
The rooms were basic and after all it was only a 3star hotel.
The air conditoning was good and there was a tv in the room but it had a poor selection of channels.(not that you go to cyprus to watch tv)
You can pay to have a fridge in the room but we didnt bother.
We did rent a safety deposit box for

Stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks mid August '02. The hotel has had a modern part built on in recent years, we were put in the old part to start with. Room was okay, a bit dated and air con worked reasonably ok. Asked to move the next day as the room was not how it appeared in the brochure. We were shown another room in the new part which we moved into. These rooms in general are slightly larger with better aircon and decor. Rooms don't come with mini fridge and coffee making facilities as standard, so you have to ask for them to be added at an extra cost of a couple of pounds per day. Room was cleaned every day and towels replaced if left in the bath. The gym is well equiped but unfortunately it is not air conditioned!! The manager said that this was due to health reasons?! We were stayinig on a B&B basis so didn't try the evening meals, but didn't hear any complaints and the food and restaurant looked good. The breakfast was very good, covering both continental and english (even had a choice of 3 min or 5 min boiled eggs).
Pool was clean and well laid out, didn't have too much trouble with getting a sunbed. There is another smaller pool if you can't get a spot. There were some strong smells wafting around once in a while, but this is fairly normal for the country and climate.
Good restaurants nearby are The Rendezvous, Rib Shack(although the service was slow) and The Sun Bow (recommend mussels a la chef). Best cocktails and draught beers are from the Irish Bar. Harbour and night life is about a 15-20 minute walk away.
Overall an enjoyable stay, you have to remember this is only a 3 star before complaining about standards you would expect at a 4 star+. Would definately stay here again if I was guaranteed a room in the new part.

My husband and I have just returned from Hotel Theofano (June 2002). We thought it was excellent (no complaints at all). We had a superior room and it was very clean and bright. The maids were in every day to clean our room and fresh towels were given to us. The hotel itself was very pleasant and so were the staff. We thought the pool area was lovely too! We were on a B&B basis and that was good. All in all we had a fantastic holiday in Paphos (this is our third year there) and it won't be our last. We would recommend the Theofano Hotel to anyone.
