The Library Hotel Wellness Retreat

Lovely courtyard and pool with good sized rooms and large bathrooms. The vibe was very peaceful and it was set in a picturesque village. But I wouldn't say it was 5 star or a wellness retreat. The spa wasn't working, mattresses were poor quality, broken swimming pool tiles and the jacuzzi had broken shower and plug. For the price it was fine, but set your expectations accordingly.

Arigiagni was so helpful and pleasant got out of her way to make things happen always very courteous and with a smile

This is a lovely boutique hotel in the village of Kalavasos. It being so early in the season the hotel wasn't full a lot of the time and consequently there were some service issues which is why only 4 stars. Our room was not cleaned on 3 days. Twice because the one cleaner didn't get to us until 5pm when we had just got back from a day out so we sent her away! The other time was apparently her day off and no replacement. This lovely lady was also expected to help in the kitchen and restaurant at breakfast and dinner so not surprised she needed a day off! As it was quiet we had to order a place at dinner in advance for a set menu each day. Despite this, dinner seemed to be served (and cooked?) by just one person rushing about with long waits. Said person was then seen at reception later on. The food was of acceptable standard. Everyone was very nice and tried to be helpful but clearly they were overstretched. Trying to order a coffee in the lounge after dinner was nigh impossible. Either they didn't speak English or couldn't work the coffee machine! The library lounge is lovely and cosy with an open fire. However despite it being extremely cold at the first week in March was never lit, so guests were all sitting round with their coats and scarves on! The hotel in general wasn't warm (our room was North facing) and the hot water was a bit variable. The room decor was quirky and individual but would not describe it as luxurious. We enjoyed our stay nevertheless but maybe better for a summer visit.

Whenever you go to Cyprus and you like a friendly crew go to the Library! Everything is great. The special service is nowhere to be found. Thanks to the owner Anne Maria and her wonderful guidance. So don’t have any doubts and book the hotel!!!

Room: Poor internet speed / non-existent at bed end. Saggy mattress with midway ridge. Dangerous electrical boxes/junction plates in bathroom Black mold on tile grout Only 1 key to room so no maid service whilst we were away Overall in need of refreshing. Jacuzzi bath unusable as insufficient supply of hot water. Dining: No choice of food. Once advised of dishes, one hour later main course was unavailable. Substitute was dry & inedible. No provision for lunch. Communication: Poor / late response to emails General lack of information Excuse given was “it’s Christmas”! Facilities Spa closed. Massage only available & only 1 person at a time Overall, unsatisfactory & poor value. ＞€130/night is excessive for the limited services offered. This is NOT a 4* hotel as advertised.
