I’m going to be totally honest in this review… Our holiday was everything we wanted. Chilled, relaxing and we just wanted to do nothing. The Kissos was our base for the week. We arrived just after midnight and first impressions of the lobby were good… it’s clean, modernish and spacious. When we got to our room on the second floor however, we both fell silent. The room was basic… there was no kettle or fridge which for a bed and breakfast booking, you’d think they’d be available so you could store some drinks and snacks, but no. It was an extra charge to hire a kettle and an extra charge to get the fridge unlocked. I think they took ideas from Ryan Air on their “upgrade” options. The room was very dated. We had a room overlooking the car park which we weren’t too bothered about. It had a balcony so we could chill after sunbathing with a warm soft drink because we weren’t paying €50 to have the fridge unlocked. We decided the best way to look at the room was somewhere to store our clothes, somewhere to shower and somewhere to sleep. It was nothing more to us and we moved on with our holiday. The outside area with the pools is lovely. The pool bar was stocked quite well with branded and local drinks. The prices were a tad expensive though compared to the bar literally 1 minute walk from reception. It was over €4 for a pint of Keo whilst at the bar at the top of the street, it was €3… fair enough, hotels charge more but again, we just had the odd drink here or there and spent our money in the surrounding bars. We’re not cheap or on a budget. We both earn good money but it’s the principal of it for me. We were bed and breakfast as I mentioned earlier… I’ll tell you now; don’t bother. It was horrendous. Breakfast consisted of a barely warm buffet of Turkey ham, hot dog sausages, scrambled eggs that looked like rice pudding, bullet beans, and fried eggs with a yolk so hard, it could be used on the golf course. We literally ate breakfast twice and then went out for breakfast every other morning. There were meats and cheese available but it looked like it had been involved in a fight with the eggs. The bars and restaurants just down the road from the hotel were brilliant. The kings Road cafe was our evening pit stop for a couple of pints and we’d end up coming back after dinner to watch the F1, Football or Rugby. The farmhouse next door served us amazing food… the chicken Aphrodite was to die for. Our two favourite restaurants were coco’s where Assad gave us some amazing food… the Meze for two was stunning and we sent about 10 other couples from the hotel to coco’s to experience it. Tea for two across the road from Coco’s was also amazing! The portion sizes are huge though. I was a proper Brit abroad and had the fish and chips and I’m not kidding when I say the fish was the size of my flip flop and the dessert was the size of a doc Martin boot! All fresh and homemade. We had lunch at tramps tavern who do a gyros, fries and a soft drink for €9.50 and that was lovely too! We did go to the Chinese restaurant nearby but it was shockingly bad… so bad, we had one mouthful of what we ordered and the manager said we didn’t have to pay for food. We left €15 because we’re typical “sorry” Brits who don’t like complaining but we’d warn anyone else to stay away. It was the worst Chinese food I’ve ever tasted. We caught the bus from the bus station down to the harbour… €2 on the bus got us dropped off in the lovely, stunning harbour. We had dinner down there and we stayed for cocktails in the bars too. We had a great night but found ourselves back at the kings road cafe until 2am! We also went to O’Neill’s Irish pub a few times which served great breakfast and we had some great food for lunch too. Drinks were good value too. Overall… the hotel is very basic. I’d recommend saving money by going self catering. There are plenty of other options within minutes of the hotel. Options that are far better than what was available at the hotel. Would we go back to Kissos? No… but we’d go back to the area.

This hotel was absolutely perfect. We were hesitant after reading some of the reviews but our worries were put to rest very quickly. This hotel could easily be 4* with their location and friendly staff. Pros: • Amazing location with some lovely restaurants nearby and the bus station is about 10 min walk away. • Beach was about a 5 min walk (10 mins to the sandy beach). • Staff were lovely and happy to help with any questions. • The entertainment lady (think her name was alex) was perfect providing us with activities morning and afternoon and with full enthusiasm. • Rooms were clean, air conditioned and very comfy beds. • Pool was the perfect temperature and we'll maintained. Cons: • Lots of sun bed reserving which the staff didn't seem to do anything about. If you didn't go down before 9am it was hard to get a bed. • Pool bar was relatively expensive if you were after alcoholic drinks. • We only had breakfast and it was a little mundane, very basic foods mainly English aswell. Would have preferred a more Greek/med breakfast and more fruit avaliable. They only had apples and occasionally pineapple. • We didn't pay for the fridge and safe as they wanted €5/day each which felt expensive for these, would have expected it to be included. Despite these small cons we had a lovely time and would definitely be back.

Convenient location if you want to see the ruins of Tomb of the kings. And there is nice sea side walk path near the hotel. There is a bus station 5minutes away from the hotel and you can go most of the places by bus easily. There are cafes and restaurants around the hotel. The hotel is big and has nice pools. The receptionists are very helpful. Tidy, clean and comfortable room.

Having read some of the negative reviews, we were pleasantly surprised to find a clean recently refurbished room, spotlessly clean to a high standard! All staff were fantastic, big shout out to Olga, Aristos, Junaed and Syeed in the bar areas ! Main hotel areas kept very clean, pools all clean and well maintained, for a 3 star hotel it was very good value for money, recommend a visit if your travelling to Pafos, thanks Phil & Alison Davies

Just back from a 4 day break with a friend. Location is good, hotel is dated but clean. I know it’s only 3 star but it lacked a lot for me. Really didn’t feel like a holiday destination. Staff were efficient but not friendly. Had to buy our own pool towels. We only ate two breakfasts and skipped the evening meal (we were half board). Menu choice was really poor but thankfully there were plenty of places to eat close by. Pool bar wasn’t opened while we were there but it was quite early in the season. Overall I just didn’t feel like I was on holiday here.
