Terrible place, don't book!
Terrible place, don't stay there. I understand it's a low season and not many guest but if you are selling rooms at least make sure it's clean and welcoming. Terrible smell of chlorine in the room from the bathroom, dirty sheets, hard to find, no reception, only a phone at the check in and a keybox.

Superb service.
The Kings Hotel is in a great location and the staff go above and beyond, top service, it's just a shame that the hotel it's self needs some money throwing at it, it's dated and is in need of a refurbishment, balance that with what you pay and it's not that bad, beds are big, rooms are small, but we had double glassing and the AC had a quite mod.

Very clean but could do with a re-furb in areas...
This is a very basic hotel with very old fashioned furnishings and facilities, but is very clean and in a good location. The beds are very hard and you only get one very flimsy pillow but again, at least the sheets etc were all crisp and clean! The very old shower head would not stay tilted up so I had to shower with one hand whilst holding the nozzle up and the shower curtain kept sticking to me the whole time (very small corner cubicle) which was annoying a bit gross tbh.... So if they could at least upgrade their bathrooms, then this would be a great little budget hotel! We only stayed one night but the staff are very friendly and the lounge area looked very nice! We didn't have breakfast, just a quick coffee but it looked like there was a good selection of cakes, bread, small selection tray of cheese and meats, yoghurt and cereals.

Beautiful pool that I didn't have time to use. Staff was sooooo sweet and welcoming! That's the most important thing, right? Beds were comfortable, but the arrangement of the room wasn't the best feng shui-- 3 single beds and my friend and I had to crawl over one to open and close the sliding glass door to the balcony, and we reported that we couldn't consistently flush the toilet. Very short walk to Tomb of the Kings, which was downright magical at the golden hour for photography. 5-min drive to the UNESCO mosaics and waterfront in downtown Paphos. We were only at Kings Hotel 1 night, and it was fine for that. For a longer stay, it is a good budget option, but when I have a grown-up job again (I'm a grad student) I'd opt for one of the places on the shoreline with a huge pool. Note there is a 3-euro surcharge to "rent" the mini-fridge in the room--something I have never heard of--but with the breakfast buffet we did not need it.

Welcoming hotel, near beach but on noisy road
Room I was given at check in was poor quality (hotel was fully booked) but was impressed that hotel staff responded to my negative review immediately and allowed me to choose a new room. In general hotel was comfortable and convenient but somewhat spoilt by traffic noise. Plenty of places to eat nearby but this also made it quite noisy.

Not the best hotel in the area, dark and moody
Was given a pretty bad room, no wi-fi connection, no remote control in the room, and no view. Maybe there are better rooms in the hotel, but you can likely do MUCH better than Kings in the area.

Cheap Hotel - Excellent Location
If you are looking for a luxurious hotel then stop reading now and look elsewhere. If you are looking for a simple, clean friendly hotel in a great location then read on. We booked this hotel as a last minute getaway and while there were a few other, much more expensive options available we booked the Kings purely because of its location as we have stayed in this area before. Great bars and restaurants close by. 10 min walk to the beach. Right on the main bus route, 10 mins to Paphos one way, 20 mins to Coral Bay the other. Buses every 15 mins The rooms are basic with a fridge, small WC and a shower. No kettle, toaster etc Room was cleaned every day with beds made and fresh towels daily so 10/10 for room cleanliness. Free air conditioning and safe only cost 17 euros for 10 days. We had a pool view with a balcony but some rooms have no balcony or any view to speak of and a few face out onto the busy main road so might be worth checking if that’s an issue for you. You get a continental breakfast included and they will make you fried or scrambled eggs but if you want a full English breakfast they are available for 4.50 euros close by. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool area is ok, nothing fancy. Hotel rooms appear to have been upgraded recently, but main hotel building could do with some upgrading. I would stay here again.

It was an ideal l9cation close to where we needed to be on the night. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was dated but clean and beds comfortable. Our room was to the side so away from the main road. Good aircon which in the heat is needed. Pool looked inviting but as we were only there 1 night did not use it. Breakfast was continental/cypriot but i was asked if i would like fried or scrambled eggs. They made me 2 fried eggs which went nice with the ham, cheese etc. Overall a nice place to stay and would go back if needing a room in Paphos again

Staff were very nice and friendly especially the man on the night shift. The location was handy enough, close to main sights for exploring. Quite noisy being on a main rd. The room itself was a bit depressing and in need of updating. Very very basic

Well priced hotel with friendly staff
The room itself was acceptable and had a good air-conditioning system which was pleasant to have. The hotel design is very nice and the pool is clean. The hotel management is incredibly friendly and accommodating. They even offered to allow us to use a shower after we had checked out due to our return flights not being until 10:30pmm this was very nice as it meant that we were fresh for the plane rather than all hot and sweaty from the day. The hotel is also conveniently placed for transportation, restaurants and a local sandy beach.

Great location and staff. Front desk was friendly and ready to help. The hotel is in an older building and is a bit dated which was expected. Bathroom was a bit small but was ok for me. For the price, it was a comfortable and clean room in a convenient location. I would stay here again.

The Kings is brilliant. definitely going back
We arrived at midnight and stopped at the hotel bar, dropped out suitcases had a drink with some very friendly guest of the hotel. Didn't get to our room till 2am!!! So, room 210 wasn't to our liking so the next morning I spoke to Nayia who is very helpful and very pleasant. She offered us room 503 in another building overlooking the pool. Said just make sure everything is packed and her staff will moved all our cases into our new room. So when we came back from sightseeing in the afternoon, we had been moved. Lovely room with balcony overlooking pool, small bathroom but no problem. Hot shower everyday, very clean, the girls come everyday and clean the room, with new sheets and towels.Flat screen TV with english channels. The pool and surrounding area is lovely, best bit about the pool is just walking into it, you don't have to use steps. The hotel is close to everything. We walked into the harbour, about a 20 minute stroll or you can catch the number 615 bus for 1.50 euro. Lovely harbour with everything going on. or going the other way catch the same bus, (opposite side of road!!) and go to Coral Bay, nice sandy beach and great for swimming (we used beach shoes), as you go into the water large rocks for about 2 foot then pure sand,heaven. The night life along the strip at Coral Bay is very good, live acts every night I think. Hired a car from Horizon across the main road, lovely english lady. did a lot of sightseeing. Only there a week, not enough time. Going back soon

Comfortable and welcoming. Great place to relax
First time in Cyprus and no idea what to expect but couldn't have had a better experience. Asked hotel staff for recommendations of where to go. Not only were they all spot on, they made the phone calls and sorted everything out for us. The highlight was the Jeep Tour with EVIS Safari Jeep with their hugely knowledgeable, kind and funny driver/guides.British in the sun, by the pool sunbathing, locals in fleeces, jeans, boots and overcoats being kindly amused. Old Town and the Muse bar/restaurant excellent and the harbour area. Ate at many tavernas and all the local food was tasty and the people on every occasion delightful. It was one of the best weeks of our live, myself, my son 18 and my daughter 13. A great place to unwind, relax and let go. HIGHLY recommendede
