New York Apartments

I was quite apprehensive at what we had booked after reading some reviews on the New York appartments, however, my friend and I were absolutely delighted with the holiday.

The flights with Jet2 were the best we have experienced, with plenty of leg room and comfy seats which accomadated me as a larger lady. The transfer to the hotel by Olympic was first calss and the rep was very helpful too !

On arrival at the apartments we were greeted by a very friendly man who took our cases to the room. The one bedroom apartment we had booked was very spacious and had a very impressive balcony which we spent time on after our daily trips out relaxing. I did recognise that this was a 2* establishment but I can honestly say it could pass as a 3*. The maids came every morning and changed the towels daily and the sheets every other day. The marble floors were mopped daily and it was one of the cleanest place's I have ever stayed in.

We stayed early/mid May and the beautiful blossom was all along the side of the complex. However, we did have a thunderstorm twice whilst there, it did not spoil our holiday as it was short lived and still quite hot around 25-30.C.

I will be re booking another holiday for October this year as the overall holiday was value for money, why spend a fortune on beautiful surroundings when you can have exceptionally clean comfrotable apartments with the most friendly staff who made you feel very welcome. Janice at reception was fun and most helpful. Looking forward to our next visit.

You could not wish wish for a better position in Paphos, it was literally 2 minutes walk to the very well stocked supermarket right next door, prices were not excessive and had a wide variety of fruit & vegetables, meat, delicatessan which sold the most amazing cream cakes at £1.25 (euro), that was our daily treat yum yum.

All the main attractions Tomb of the Kings,shops, taverna's etc were literally 5 minutes walk away. We would recommend O'neils Irish bar along the tomb of kings road, they had live entertainment on several nights and the drinks were reasonable too. Raffles restaurant is highly recommended for a Cypriot 3 course meal £12.95 (euro's) Beautiful Lamb Kolektifa.

The bus services were marvolous along the same road at £1 (euro) to Coral Bay.

Please do not let poor reviews put you off as it worried us, although the only down side is that the electric oven was small and the cups were tea cups, we got 2 mugs cheaply at the supermarket and really spent most of the time out & about.

As long as you understand that you are paying for a basic rate hotel, then you won't be disappointed.

I found the rooms to be clean and comfortable and of good proportion.

The rooms were cleaned daily aswere the towels and best of all, the bedding smelt freshly washed.

The only challenge we found was finding the place in the first place, even though it is only 1 street away from the main strip, it's not well signed posted, however once we located the hotel we found it to be in easy walking of all the major sites and restraints' in Paphos..

Would I recommend the hotel, "yes" and I would happily stay there again

we were placed in the old block which was really old and out dated. there were so many awful things about these apartments. the mattresses were stained and smelly, there were pidgeon droppings every day on our balconey and we couldnt leave anything there throughout the whole day as they would be covered in droppings. there were ants everywhere. the fridge was filthy, we saw the cleaners cleaning it with an old towel. the wardrobes were old and dusty.these apartments were purely a 'roof over our heads'. the air conditioning units were a disgrace, they were suspended from the ceilings. i was worried they were going to collapse, and also concerned about legionnaires disease. these were cheap apartments, and you got what you paid for.

Just got back from New York appts saw some reviews that werent great , however appartment was great and extremely large balcony massive.Kitchen equipment a bit limited but lets be honest most just use for a bit of breakfasr.Room cleaned everyday and very clean,staff all very friendly and helpful.Supermarket right next door, air con a must because of heat but one of most efficeint we've had. A small walk to beach,harbour, restaurants and bars.

Would go there again , as couldnt find a complaint to make.

We last stayed at these apartments in 1999 and found them very good hence we are going back on the 25th of August this year & looking forward to it. They were very clean & the staff very helpful. Set in a very good location.

when we got off the bus we thought what a dump,but after a week here our assumption had nothing to do with the hotel but the surrounding area which needs improving,barren really,but back to new york appts,the room was basic but clean and the balcony was lovely to sit out on as we could see everything going on,the beds are not great but the quietness of the hotel ensured a good nights sleep.The pool area was small but nicely arranged and the bar was well stocked and the cold lager glasses to die for,the bar staff were all lovely and nothing was too much trouble,the receptionist was also very helpfull,the food was really well cooked,and the special pittas were just the job after a few beers in the sun. Overall new york is a great place to stay if you want a nice chilled time away and very convienent for the surrounding area,s for a night out.

We were shocked at how basic the accommodation was. It was supposed to be in the "new" block but looked like it hadn't been updated since the 70's! The first apartment had light fittings hanging off the wall and we asked to be moved to another, which wasn't much better. There was only a baby belling cooker and whistling kettles which took forever to boil.

We asked the rep to move us so the next day so only stayed one night, and that was only because we were just too tired having been up since 3.00a.m the previous morning. Whilst we were talking to the rep, about 6 Policemen came in whilst the owner's friends were running out the back with fruit machines they had yanked from the tables without even stopping to unplug them! We could only assume that they were illegal. Definitely NOT a place to stay at any cost, and the actual area is pretty rough and untidy looking.

We moved the next day to the four star Athena Beach Hotel, which was fabulous and in a much nicer area. I also wouldn't go with Argo again.

Highly recommend New York Apartments to anyone. Although it was a late deal, all the pictures I saw were of the front of the apartment but I wasn't let down. The apartments are very comfy. Food is very reasonable, very delicious. Within short walking distance to Bar Street and bus stop to the Paphos Harbour is only a few minutes walk from the apartments.

With having a supermarket next door, you couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

The kitchen is very basic with no microwave oven but has baby belling cooker, fridge and toaster. Have to use a saucepan to boil up water for tea, coffee or babies stuff and it takes a long time!

When we booked our stay, we got a good deal and we took the risk of taking it without looking to see the reviews or pictures. When we did look before going, we were very put off from the 'dodgy' reviews about the New York Apartments in Paphos. We later found out that it is now under new management, and they have turned things around.

The hotel is a pleasant ten minutes walk away from the main 'bar street', although you can still stay very close too if you like, because of the local bars and restaurants.
