Linos Inn

Dirty rooms, with crumbs and rubbish over the floor from the previous guests. Ants over the floor due to the food everywhere. No fan or AC. Did not provide us with hand soap, body wash or shampoo. Cramped, dirty bathroom which smelled like sewers. Curtains were very thin and there was a light opposite the room. Made it very difficult to sleep. Overall, hated every moment that we were there and woke up more tired than when I had gone to sleep.

Awful room.. smelt of cats wee and damp. Could not unpack clothes as we felt they would absorb the smell. Hard matress. Supposedly white towels were grey. Everything appeared dirty apart from the sheets. Leak under bathroom sink ran into bedroom. Shower screen hanging off. Mildew. Window looking out on to yard with mops and buckets... someone constantly filling and emptying. Could not leave window open as stream of people coming and going outside... dumping matressess and all sorts. Staff did not appear happy. I get rustic charm but this was not that. Apart from that it was lovely to see the old buildings..... but could not wait to leave.

We went to the restaurant on a Saturday noon and the service as well as the food was terrible... They just brought the starters and they FORGOT to bring the main course... So half people of the table ate first and half later..! The worst part was that no discount was done, on the contrary the price was too high for the quality of food.

Terrible place , the room was dirty, water running from the ceiling , freezing room. The food in the restaurant was terrible as many other reviews have mentioned , unfortunately we decided to try it anyway and were totally disappointed.

The previous reviews almost put me off visiting, however I’m now glad it didn’t. We travelled as a family of 5 and a dog. Cost - €170 for 2 x rooms on NYE which included breakfast. €130 spent on the evening for food and drink which kept us all going until after midnight. In comparison to eat out at a restaurant on NYE I expected this to be double in price. Restaurant & Food - We had a set price buffet, not many options however this included dessert. The food was nice and started at 2100, so it was nice to have a few drinks beforehand. Ordering off the menus was also available. The breakfast the next morning was basic but we was happy with it. The restaurant was packed full and it’s a good job we booked a table. It was a cosy setting with a log fire, bar ect. Entertainment - I’m not sure if this is routinely in place or just for NYE but It was good, the kids were not a fan as it was traditional guitar/ singing. The adults enjoyed this as it really made you feel as if you was away from home and in the heart of Cyprus. They kept us all entertained until the new year. The staff - No problems at all. They was plenty around and we was never waiting for drinks. The rooms - the two rooms we got just so happened to open up in the middle which was ideal for us as it felt like one house with two bathrooms. They was a fireplace however we just turned on the electric heaters. We had a TV and internet in both rooms. A cot bed was added for one of the kids. The location of the rooms were less than 25m to the restaurant. The rooms felt cosy at it was winter (summer could be a different story) and it was a different experience for the kids compared to the 4 /5* hotels on the coast. Cleanliness - I mention this separately as it is mentioned a lot in the previous reviews. It had clearly been cleaned however these are old buildings with stone floors and wood beams. It’s not a room that I wound want to sit in all day, my opinion is if I am sat in the room all day I will be missing out on the surrounding area and village. Also because I had a dog I was happy with no carpets and things been older. That said if I was staying for anymore than two days and did not have the dog I would look to stay somewhere a little more modern to no doubt at a higher price. Village - Looked great at night with all the Christmas tree lights on. Everything close and it felt like been in the 1800s. Nice views, rivers, restaurants, shops. The walk was less then 5 mins from our room. Summary (in winter) - In my opinion if you enjoy camping or staying in places where things are not always immaculate then this is a nice place to visit. If you need to feel in a clean environment all the time then stick to the 4*+ hotels probably on the coast. I have stayed in hotels in Paphos, Aya Napa and Protaras which did not give us the same experience or atmosphere. If anything this was probably one of the better places we have stayed at, and as a package was good overall.
