The Josephine Boutique Hotel

Location was very good..everything is near you. Nice pool on the roof level. Very hospitally hotel staff. Breakfast ok, but could be better. Some rooms are noise ones, so if you want to sleep in very quiet place...the highest level rooms with sea view are the options.

Lovely hotel i have stayed in better buy you get what you pay for .I don’t see why people are moaning because they didn’t supply your beach towel take your own it doesn’t say beach towel provided it’s not 5 star . Breakfast was okay . The hotel is in a good location . Will definitely return

I’ll start this review with the few positives - We booked this hotel mainly due to its location, only 5 minutes walk to the seafront and in old Larnaca. The price we paid for one nights B & B was very reasonable. The reception staff very very helpful and polite as was the housemaid. Now the negatives - no parking available advised to use secure parking about 3 minutes walk - car park very tight negotiating the bends going up/down levels. Cost around €10 for 24 hours. The room was OK but even on 4th floor very noisy from outside activity. Bathroom OK but room could have been cleaner - hadn’t been swept/hoovered properly. Beds very soft. Breakfast was mediocre at best - on arrival we were asked what eggs, if any, we wanted. We then sat down after getting cereal etc. The scrambled egg, which was powdered, arrived whilst we were still eating our cereal. By the time we got the toast eggs were cold - asked for fresh but got ours microwaved! The bacon, beans etc were all lukewarm at best. Plenty of cheese etc if you wanted continental. One positive one of the best toasters I’d ever used. We planned on using the pool before we left the hotel but on arrival on the 7th floor we soon changed our minds. The pool itself was clean but surrounding area dirty as were the cushions on the sun loungers which were disgusting either lots of mold or stained. Toilets looked as if they had been hosed down rather than cleaned and showers were grubby and cracked tiles etc. The reception staff kindly booked us a taxi, there were 6 of us. If you are using this hotel and need a taxi please ensure they do not use “The Family Taxi Ltd”. They booked this firm for us and we needed to book a return later on in the evening - confirmed with driver time and location and asked for business card. Cut a long story short the taxi never turned up even after numerous calls to office and also hotel reception to make them aware. Finally managed to flag another taxi some 60 minutes after booked pick up time and a lot more money! We will not use this hotel if and when we visit Larnaca again.

Value for money is OK, room size good, breakfast better than expected Since they don't offer beach towels I won't come back... I think it is ridiculous that the hotel doesn't offer beach towels. Forces guest to either not go to the beach, or to sneak out the hotel like a thieve! Reply by front desk was: "we don't offer since we are not directly located at the beach" ...!!! :-( (2nd sentence the hotel website: "situated just 50 meters away from the famous Finikoudes beach of Larnaca")

We found the hotel was in a perfect location, maybe some outside noise during the night but it definitely didn’t bother us. Everything right on your doorstep; beach, restaurants cafes and bars. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. All in all excellent value and can highly recommend. We will definitely go back.
