Reflections

  • Limited on site facilities beyond dining and the rooftop terrace
  • No swimming pool or spa, which may disappoint those seeking resort style amenities
  • Street parking can be challenging during peak hours in central Nicosia
  • Boutique size means availability is limited, especially during weekend stays
