The Josephine Boutique Hotel

Location cleanliness friendliness

The noise from the road , loud music from cars and noise from cars and delivery trucks … we rectified this situation by wearing ear plugs . No fault of the hotel as being on a road in Larnaka , it would always be noisy !

Location is perfect. The room is very spacious and convenient, with everything required and more. Very friendly staff.

I would have improved cleaning. Breakfast is nice, however fresh juice and better bread and quality coffee would be nice.

Swimming pool on the roof was great. Great location right near the beach and all the resturants. Breakfast was good with a choice of eggs being cooked to your choice.

The soundproofing is awful, you can hear the road and cars which play very loud music from early in the morning until late at night. Information at reception was not really well given at check in.

Perfect location - in the nearest neighborhood old town with many shops & restaurants. 100 m to the Main Promenade. Hotel is quite modern with a good standard. Rooms are cosy, with separate bathroom (bath inside !). Service was wery good, everybody was kind and helpful. In case of late departure, no problem with luggage storage. Breakfast was ok - but not overwhealming. Everything was fresh, you could choose from both cold and hot snacks. Pool on the roof very impressive, although please be aware, that water is not heated. Price to overall overview is very positive - I strongly reccomend staying in this Hotel.

Brakfast could be better - I'dont reccomend neither scrambled eggs nor omlet. The taste is strange, I suspect they may use powdered eggs, not natural ones. Also looks like A/C was not working, but maybe it was because of the weather and lack of heat (late december).

The room was great. I loved the decor and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast on the 6th floor had a good selection and was of a high quality. The pool was much larger than it looks in photos and I was able to swim lengths in it for exercise. The location was also ideal as it is very central and only 2 minutes walk from the beach.

The noise is the only thing I can comment on and it would be really harsh to mark the hotel down on this as they have no control over it. The road outside is used by young males on bikes and in cars racing with their music on full blast until the early hours, then from 5am, rubbish collectors and delivery drivers are making a lot of noise out the front too. It didn't affect my husband, but I only got about 5 hours sleep each night because of it. I'm just mentioning this so that you are aware and I don't want to put you off a lovely hotel!

Arrived to find staff very friendly and helpful. The room was amazing very spacious and had everything you needed . Bathroom excellent the cleanliness was good which is testament to the cleaning staff. Breakfast was good with a variety of food on offer although I must say the sausages were great . I cannot speak highly enough of the staff even at the rooftop pool they were superb . Views from rooftop pool were superb .

Nothing

Small very friendly hotel excellent service nothing was too much. Located conveniently in the middle of the city close to everything. Spotlessly clean big bedroom comfortable bed.

Quite busy street outside the building noisy especially on Saturday which I guess is the price one pays for being close to all amenities. Breakfast not very exciting and the swimming pool too deep hence quite cold.

Everything was just perfect. Receptionists were helpfull, assisting in any situation including night check out. Beakfast - everything was fresh, variety of products, and we also had an option of freshly made eggs based on our preferences. Very good coffee and local products included. Rooms - we loved the lights and the possibility of different combinations. Shampoons, towels as well as bath gels were refilled every day. Airconditioning was working efficiently. The room was perfectly tidy, no noise from the street.

Nothing!

Perfect location: 2 mins to beach, bus stop, taverns and shop around. The room and the bathroom was very spacious, also the balcony. I think it was the biggest room I've ever had in hotel of this level. Also the bathroom was spacious and very comfortable. I appreciated the bathtub. Everything clean and nice, moderní facilities, bed very comfortable, one of my best sleeps in hotel. Staff very nice and helpful. View from the roof with the pool is awesome. Overall, I was positively surprised and I fully recommend. I will definitely book again next time.

I missed a hairdryer in the room, but I guess I will get it, if I asked the staff. It would be also nice to have a plastic bag for laundry in the bathroom, but that's nothing important.

Great breakfast and views, convenient location - easy walk to the sea front, balcony, double glazing, good sized room. The two hour Love Bus tour gave a useful orientation but also demonstrated that there is not a whole lot to do or see once you've done the beach. And take trousers and cover up if you want to see the mosque, which they claim to be the 3rd holiest site in Islam. There is a bus from the airport for only 2 Euro which stops at the beach about five minutes walk from the hotel - otherwise the taxi is 20 Euro at the airport or 15 if you book in advance with the hotel.

The hotel cannot help that it seems to be a feature of Larnaca that people drive round and round the one way system, past the windows, with music blaring and thumping from their cars. This is mostly suppressed if the windows are closed though can still be disturbing at night - also fireworks through the night of the Greek Orthodox Easter weekend. However in mid April the air conditioning was 'not allowed to be on cool - still on warming, sir', and the room was too hot. They could not provide a fan. We resorted to getting a sheet instead of duvet cover, and a wet towel, but even then it was too hot.
