Great food for all
As one might expect from a bed & breakfast, the food at the Paphiessa receives consistently high reviews from guests. Many spoke highly of breakfast, but others like dinner best. From local specialties to pizza, travellers were able to enjoy all the menu choices available.

Great value choice
Happy reviewers never failed to mention the hotel's value. Many felt that the service, food quality, and room size far exceeded expectations. It isn't uncommon to come across travellers who are very enthusiastic about the Paphiessa.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Old building needs work
Many reviewers mentioned the building's age as a serious downside to any vacation. From the quality of furnishings in their rooms, to structural issues, to poorly performing bathroom fixtures, many took issue with the hotel's lack of refurbishment. For some, this aspect was simply too much to take.
negative:
Loud and busy location
Many negative reviews made mention of the hotel's location next to a busy main road. Noise from the street seeps into the building throughout the day and night, making it difficult for many guests to relax. Some also had trouble finding their way back to the hotel at night due to poor signage.
negative:
Very dirty hotel
For many travellers, cleanliness is key. For many reviewers, the Paphiessa simply did not live up to basic hygienic standards. Everything from poorly trained staff to leaking pipes in the bathroom caused guests alarm. Also, some saw cockroaches by the pool and outdoor seating area.
