Nicosia

Popular with business travellers and tour groups, the Cleopatra has 89 good-sized and well kitted out rooms recently revamped with grey and silver accents. — Lonely Planet

By far the historic centre's most chic address. Royiatiko's rooms are all soothing and chic neutrals, with fresh flowers on the dresser and marshmallow-soft cushions on the beds. — Lonely Planet

Lashings of white, retro-accented furniture and oodles of modern hipster appeal: the three airy rooms here form a city-centre hideaway. — Lonely Planet

The large, light-filled rooms are rather drab for the price and don't match the hints of colonial-esque glamour in the grand lobby. — Lonely Planet

Though on the small side, the stylish rooms feature neutral colors, large pictures of flowers, and flat-screen TVs. Stop for a nightcap at the hotel's Blue Wine Bar & Lounge. — Fodor's

Sky is bang in the middle of the historic centre, surrounded by souvenir shops and cafes. — Lonely Planet

This salmon-coloured block does a roaring trade with local visitors, and reception goes out of its way to please. Rooms are a good size and decently kitted out with satellite TVs and fridges. — Lonely Planet

Classically styled rooms have wood floors and balconies; there's a bar and a restaurant, and helpful staff. It's extremely popular with groups, so fills up fast. — Lonely Planet

The Delphi has been part of the Nicosia hotel scene for years...you get squeaky-clean, plain rooms, all with fridges and TVs, and genuinely friendly service from the lovely couple who own it. — Lonely Planet

It may look like a bland mid-rise block, but the Almond contains smart, light-filled serviced apartments, decorated in a modern minimalist style and kept scrupulously clean. — Lonely Planet

The small rooms here are on the gloomy side and the furniture is showing a fair slice of wear and tear, but if you're not bothered by style, it's a safe, solid bet, slap in the middle of town. — Lonely Planet

Close to the historic centre, yet tucked into a quiet residential part of Nicosia's New City, this place prides itself on its kitsch-rustic decor and attentive service. — Lonely Planet

Fancy a trip back to the early '80s, when swirling patterned carpets, gold braid-trimmed lobby sofas and black lacquered bathroom sinks were all the rage in hotel decor? Saray has nailed it. — Lonely Planet

With bags of tourist info at reception, clued-up staff, free bikes for guest use, and big, well-maintained rooms sporting a jaunty, fresh blue-and-white theme, the Asty is excellent value. — Lonely Planet
