“A great holiday!” This was our second time of staying at the Athenaeum apartments and yet again we have thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The apartment was ideal for what we required and the pool area lovely and quiet. The location is fantastic and just a short walk from the main stretch of restaurants and the harbour. I'm sure we will be returning again in the future! Response: Thank you for your review. It was lovely to see you both again and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

“relax in comfort in the heart of Paphos” The first floor studio was very clean and comfortable; all the kitchen fittings were very modern; the entertainment devices also were all modern and the availability of Wi-Fi was useful. The west- facing balcony was ideal for relaxing evenings watching the sunset. The studio was situated in a small cluster of flats so there was never any distracting noise. The swimming pool was regularly maintained and was never over-crowded. The studio is located close to the bar and restaurant district and just five minutes from the beach and harbour area. I can recommend this studio without reservation. Robert Smith, Muscat, Oman Response: Thank you for your review. It was an absolute pleasure to have you stay and we look forward to seeing you both again soon.

"Stayed for 4 days at Athenaeum Apartments and it was an ideal base for why we were visiting Paphos. Studio apartment very spacious and modern with all the facilities needed to make the stay enjoyable. Nice pool in a quiet area, yet only a 5minute walk from all the bars and restaurants. Very enjoyable stay that I would recommend to friends".
