The location of Cleopatra Hotel is undoubtedly a strong point—it’s very well situated, close to the old part of Nicosia and centrally located in the city. Unfortunately, my overall experience was far from satisfactory. The service was poor, and the attitude of the manager/owner was especially disappointing. The hot water in my room didn’t work properly, which added to the discomfort. What was most frustrating was the way the hotel handled a personal item of mine. I brought my own iron for convenience, and on the second day, I returned to my room to find it missing. After searching, I found a written note from the hotel administration stating that if I wanted my iron back, I had to call them. When I did, they informed me that they had taken it because irons were not allowed in rooms. I asked to speak with the manager, as I felt it was completely unacceptable for someone to enter my room and take a personal belonging without my permission. The manager was very harsh and unapologetic. He insisted that hotel policy allows them to remove prohibited items at any time without informing the guest. He didn’t even offer a basic apology for the way the situation was handled. He told me I could only get my iron back at checkout—which made things even more inconvenient. He also told me I could use the hotel’s ironing room, which is supposedly open from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. The next morning, I called the receptionist at 7:00 am to check if the room was open. He said it would open at 7:30. I went there at 7:45, and it was still closed. After calling the front desk again, I was told it was open—but when I went back, it was still locked. I had to wait until 7:55 for it to finally open. Overall, the poor service, lack of basic hospitality, and intrusive behavior of the hotel staff made my stay very uncomfortable. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone who values respect, privacy, and reliable service.
