No longer able to tolerate the Holiday Inn after two previous stays, I decided to give the Centrum a try based on a recommendation from a fellow business traveler. The hotel is tucked away on a small street open only to pedestrians in the center of the old city. It is conveniently located, within walking distance of the Green Zone, shops and many restaurants.
Quaint and cozy with only 40 rooms, the hotel is very clean, safe, and well appointed with all the necessary modern amenities. The lobby is comfortable and relaxing. Most evenings you will find the owner there greeting customers. The room with a balcony was spacious and well lit. The bed was amazingly comfy.
The entire staff, including Mariana and Stephan were always very friendly and accomodating. After a two week stay, in many ways, it felt as if it were home.
If you are looking for a cozy place to stay in Nicosia, look no further. The Centrum is the place. We will definitely stay there again upon our return.
On a side note, do not miss Loxandra restaurant just down the road, for great meze.
