Cosy nice apartment easy access to city/beach
Good experience stay at the holiday hotel. Communication was clear throughout and good / easy checkin out process. Location is good as well with local restaurants and cafes close by. The apartment itself was renovated on an old building but you’d think it’s much newer from the inside. Everything was working and no issues whatsoever. The AC is very strong on the hot day and the laundry worked well. It was good price and value for what you get. Parking spaces could be limited so request a spot early and there won’t be issues.

Hidden gem, great location
Great apartment with everything you need for a long or short stay. Fully equipped kitchen, nice bedroom with amazing storage in fitted wardrobes. Building a bit dull on the outside but inside the flat was superb and very clean. If your driving its just behind the McDonalds on the main road. Theres a great bar on the next block-The Nags Head well worth a visit. The manager Mt Olymbios is a really nice guy. I would recommend this place and will stay here again next time we are in Limasol.

Don’t be put off by the outside and the hallways: this is an old building whose exterior hasn’t been renovated but the apartments inside have been completely redone and are extremely well equipped. It has everything one would need for a short or long term stay and then some! Very clean and comfortable. Property manager communicated very well and was ultra flexible with us. There’s no pool and don’t go to the closest beach (small public access off the main road), it’s very ugly. Walk further left on the main road to get to the more decent beach with chaises longues and parasols.

Мы взяли 2-х комнатный номер с очень красивым современным дизайном. Номер был чистым, хорошо оборудованный. Отзывчивые хозяева, детям принесли подарок. Сам комлекс довольно старый, но локация хорошая, близко к пляжу и центральной улице . В целом мы очень довольны.

Split renovated unit in a problematic building
the unit was nice and looked like in the pictures, the owner is friendly and the location is good. HOWEVER. the building complex is in a bad condition, there was loud music every night and I got a rash from the hygiene amenities (soap and shampoo). I would not have booked had I understood it in advance. If you want a cheap place to stay then OK, but not more. I hope the owner will renovate it and make it nice as the complex and location have potential.

Dear Anonymous Guest, First of all, we would like to thank you for acknowledging the fact that the apartment you have stayed is true to description and photos. We are also happy you have found our owner to be accessible and friendly and appreciated the location of our lodgings. Although the complex building was constructed in the 80's - we will respectfully disagree with you about it being in a bad shape. In effect, the grand majority of our guests are captivated by its architecture, consider it to be vintage and congratulate us on its maintenance and cleanliness. We regret that the exterior failed to live up to your expectations. It should be underscored, however, that pictures of the building are included in our gallery. As far as the amenities are concerned, these happen to be of an internationally acclaimed brand: PRIJA which is used in 5* hotels, and you surely not have found them in cheap places, a rather unfair comment you have made. We take pride in being a value-for-money destination to many travelers, and certainly not a cheap place. Thank you for your suggestion to fully renovate it - make no mistake, it does form part of our agenda. Kind regards, The Castle Holiday Apartments Team

Ok but not great
Given the cost of similar properties around it was a bit disappointing- tidy enough clean enough but very old and a bit scruffy

Thank you for posting a review Mr. Stuart, and for acknowledging the fact that the apartment was clean and tidy. We are sorry you felt it was pricey compared to other lodgings in the area. Respectfully, we disagree about that. In fact, we take pride in that we are far less expensive compared to competition in the area. You had paid EUR115,00 for 2 nights in a one-bedroom apartment (50 sqm in size). We would like to point out, that we have 3 more one-bedroom apartments in addition to the one you booked, at the same complex, all of which have a more modern décor, and are more upscale in general. This fact is naturally reflected in their rate. Please note that there are several photos for each of our lodgings on the Expedia platform, both of the interior and the exterior of the building, so that the prospective guests know what to expect. We always aim to deliver a great experience to our guests and we regret we didn't meet your expectations. Perhaps you could give us a second chance during your next and try another of the 11 apartments we currently have at the complex. Kindest regards, The Castle Holiday Apartments Team

Hi Kim and thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback and for thinking that our apartment is FABULOUS! I have personally checked the "not so fabulous" points you raised in your review and liaised with the Administrator, Mr. Olymbios who had welcomed you, so that I can get a full picture and have all the information. Having done all that, I'd like to inform you about the following: 1) The PINBALL machine is working perfectly. You simply had to SWITCH IT ON. It's a real pity you've missed that, since we offer the usage of the pinball machine free of any charge. In other words, you don't have to insert any coins, and you can play all that you want - FOR FREE. The Administrator had urged you to reach out, should you had any queries or needed anything that would make your stay more enjoyable. He's given you his number, he's living at the complex and he's also reachable via Whatsapp / Viber. 2) Indeed, the light bulbs on the bicycle are not working - one of them was burned probably before you arrived, as I had checked with our Housekeeper who confirmed that 2 days ago, they were functioning as they should. So, please accept our apologies for that. Since you only stayed for one night, it would have been hard for us to change it, but make no mistake about it, it is being taken care of as we speak. 3) As far as the TV is concerned, true, only local channels - as lucidly stated in the description of the apartment's facilities online. We are not contending to offer something that we are not. Luckily, even local channels air movies which are in English, so I'm hoping you've managed to find something to please you. Furthermore, the TVs in the apartment happen to be SMART TV's (also clearly laid out in our description), which means that you could have connected either of them with a phone or an ipad and watch whatever it is you would have liked to. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain these issues online, for other prospective customers to read, before making a reservation. Although, I think that a 6 for a FABULOUS apartment is a bit "frugal" - I decide to keep the FABULOUS on the title you've come up with, WITHOUT THE "BUT"! I take this opportunity to wish you have HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a much improved 2021! Kind regards, Io Papadopoulou (Ms) Owner

Dear guest, It would have been beneficial to our business to leave your comments too, so as to realize exactly what it was you hadn't enjoyed during your stay, to justify the low rating you have given us. It is our understanding that you had personally not made a reservation with us, but were part of a group who had re-assured our Administrator at the complex during your stay and at check-out that everything was perfect. We are sorry you felt the urge to downgrade our efforts to assist you and offer free cancellation to the other party of your group, despite the fact that his reservation was non-refundable, because he contracted Covid19. The least you could do was let us know the reason for your dissatisfaction. Customer satisfaction happens to be one of our top priorities, hence the reason we, the TEAM at Castle Holiday Apartments, are hands-on and around to ENSURE our guests have an amazing stay. We are always eager to assist and promptly resolve any problems that might turn up. We hope that in your future stays at other lodgings, you extend other hosts the courtesy of being honest when asked if everything is all right, so that you give them a chance a fix whatever you may think is wrong. Kind regards, THE TEAM CASTLE HOLIDAY APARTMENTS
