Jasmine Hotel and Apartments

“ We read about this hotel on Trip Adviser - some of the comments were not very complimentary and we were full of trepidation as we left for our holiday. After spending a week there let me reassure you, there is nothing wrong with this hotel. It was as clean as possible - but did suffer from being near a dusty road (much of Cyprus is dusty). The staff were friendly and very welcoming - nothing was too much trouble. We arrived in the early hours of the morning, and were immediately offered a drink. The pool was lovely, the gardens a delight - special mention to the poolside waiter who would go out of his way to please you, and never stopped smiling. We stayed half board and the food was perfectly fine. It wasn't five star - but we didn't pay five star prices. It was plentiful and wholesome - nothing like what I had read in reviews. Go with an open mind and you will not be disappointed. If you want five star - book a five star hotel!!!!!!! We did hear some complaints - but I'm afraid those people had very high expectations and were not realistic about the price they had paid.
Only drawback was that the hotel is on a busy road. We had a roadside apartment and the traffic was constant throughout the night.

“ Top Tip: Don't be afraid to use the pathway next to the beach at nighttime. We went for a walk during the evenings and were greeted by many Cypriot families using the path - most of them would want to say "hello" or "good evening".
Number 30 bus stops very close by and a return into old Limassol is only 2 Euro's
Brilliant supermarket/bakery further up the same road as the hotel called "Papa's". much cheaper than the beach side supermarkets.

“ The room was a bit tired and in need of refurbishment. It was on the front of the hotel overlooking a busy road and so the balcony ( which was very small) was a no go really. The pool area was nice. Staff were friendly. The hotel is situated aprrox 3 miles from the old town area.To get to the beach you have to cross a seriously busy main road.The old town and harbour are under major reconstruction at the moment (Sept 2011) and they are literally a building site. This, to my understanding is going on for some years.

“ Top Tip: There is a good taverna next to the hotel.

“ Hotel improvements have been made since our visit in 2004, nevertheless it would have been nice to have had our bed sheets and bathroom towels changed at least once during our 10 day stay (i'm sure they would have been should we have asked). On the plus side our bin was emptied and the floors mopped daily.

The hotel is clean and the staff are helpful while the pool bar serves decent food and drinks - the pool itself is cool, clean and inviting.

The hotel is situated close to the beach, shops, restaurants and bars, talking of which if you like your football the Woodman pub (5 minute walk) shows every Premier League match (12 screens at my last count). The local beer (Keo) is cold, moorish and the food is relatively cheap compared to other bars.

If your on a budget the Jasmine hotel is for you. Trust me, as i've stayed in cheaper accommodation in Limassol which has been truly awful.

“ Top Tip: The Woodman Pub (5 minutes walk). Directions - turn right out of the hotel and then left at the crossroads. Keep walking and the pub is on the left.

“ we found the Jasmine appartment very clean and the staff very helpful, the cleaner came in every day and the beds was changed twice a week.

“ Top Tip: the local beach was about three ninutes walk the son beds was only 5 eruos for the day.
