Information
The Kiniras Hotel and Tavern is a family-owned traditional house in the heart of Paphos, Cyprus.
Kiniras is a 15th century Venetian building, which was first converted into a hotel in 1924, completely renovated in 1995, it is perhaps the most traditional of Paphos hotels, still maintaining its original character and uniqueness as a listed building.
The hotel is popular with guests from all across Europe and is in high demand from French, Dutch and German tourists in particular. It attracts many independent travelers who research their holiday on the internet and make informed decisions rather than be lead by the large tour operators.
A dedication to Cypriot hospitality, and friendly welcome is second nature to the multilingual members of staff and the Gregoriou family themselves have throughout the generations all studied and learnt their trade in Germany & Switzerland giving a professional sheen to their natural family hospitality.

Asked for a small plate of starters, the owner said no no, I bring you plate 2 types of cheese, vegetables, pita etc. for only 20 euro. We said ok, and he brought a small plate with half a tomato, 5 slices of cucumber, 4 slices of carrot, 6 very small slices of cheese(3 of each kind), 2 pita and some olives. We felt this was some kind of mistake or scam and wanted to confront the owner, but after we read some reviews we realised that if confronted he goes agressive. On the bill he taxed "food" for 20€. It s clearly a scam. Should be avoided.

Very bad experience. The food of the Taverna was good and our bill was supposed to be 33.50€ for a mixed grill (23.50€) and two glasses of wine (10€). But for our surprise when the bill came it was actually 49.50€. We kindly asked the manager why we got charged 16€ more for something that said “FOOD” in the bill and he said it was for the salad we ate. I asked him why it didn’t say “SALAD” in the bill instead of “FOOD” and he said it’s just not in the system.
Anyway the mixed grill we ordered already came with sauce, bread and salad so we told him we didn’t order an extra salad, so he proceeded to start making up stories about how I personally ordered a bigger salad when he supposedly told me the one included in the mixed grill was small (which they never served us by the way), but this conversation never happened as my partner made the order as he speaks Greek and I don’t. He was having a discussion about the bill with my partner in Greek and when I tried to talk to him and explain that I didn’t order this salad he proceeded to cut me off and say “We’re talking in Greek” and didn’t let me speak.
He insisted we had to pay for what we ate and obviously this was not the issue, we were ready to pay this scam but we wanted to know what exactly we were paying.
Even if it was true and he gave us a bigger salad (just because he wanted) isn’t 16€ too much for a basic greek salad? Well, who knows. Avoid this place or be very careful with this rude man if you go.
I can honestly say that this was my worst hotel experience since progressing beyond backpacking days; certainly, in the last 40 years or so. Being charitable, possibly for a novelist looking for down-and-out colour, or a youngster wanting a grungy and ‘real’ relatively low-cost experience this might be OK. But not for older professionals looking for a peaceful civilised break. I chose this hotel because it was recommended in the Rough Guide book, which described it as ‘boutique’. Last year we had a wonderful holiday in Rhodes Old Town in a boutique hotel, and I wanted to recreate this. Cost was not really an issue that motivated the choice (in fact it is put down as relatively pricey in the Rough Guide, which, of course it isn’t). My main mistake was not looking very hard at the reviews. Our experience was pretty much in line with the most negative reviews: weirdly eccentric and rather rude manager, terrible breakfast, terrible location. We lasted just one night, having booked seven. Of course, as might be expected, we were refused any refund. Unlike the old town of Rhodes there is nothing much in old Paphos. Most of anything ‘old’ has been ripped out and replaced by modern high street shops - fine for locals, but nothing really for tourists. The Kiniras is located in a busy modern high street close to a nightclub. We arrived on Saturday night and were put in a tiny room on the high street. The noise from the nightclub (catering for locals I think) blared through the closed window (louder than I play music at home) until after 3 in the morning. After a terrible night we went down to breakfast, which, as another reviewer has said, was almost inedible, with a clientele that seemed from an art-house film. At that point I made one of the better decisions in recent years and, using Google Maps, found a fantastic, modern, apartment/hotel set around swimming pools. We never thought we would go for such a place, but it was absolutely great - very quiet, with competent friendly staff. The total opposite of the Kiniras. And for only about 20 Euros per night more.

Beautiful hotel in a great location, it is in the middle of the center and close to all key points such as bus stops. Owner of the hotel is very friendly and welcoming, facilitated an extra night very last minute without problems and let me leave my luggage in the hotel during a day trip after check out. Overall great experience, highly recommend anyone in Paphos to stay at this place.

This place saved our holiday! We wanted to stay in other apartment, but it was very dirty, so we needed a place to stay in the middle of the night, and it was exactly there. Very kind and helpful service. Good breakfast, clean and tidy room with air conditioner. It was pleasure to visit this hotel!

Location
The hotel is situated in Makarios Avenue only a couple of minutes away from the old town market and a short bus ride away from Paphos harbor with its Venetian fort and the UNESCO sites of ancient Paphos.
The Kiniras hotel has become known over the last few years as a landmark, meeting place and a favored venue for eating out in Paphos. The architecture of the building gives an irreplaceable expression of the wealth and variety of its cultural background and this is complimented by the artwork that adorns the walls from its owner, George Gregoriou.
