Valana Hotel Apartments

Located in an untidy, quiet area, there is easy access to the thrive of activity in the tourist area 10 minutes' walk away. A budget property with limited facilities and bland surroundings are ideal as a functional base for exploring the resort and Troodos Mountains beyond. If allocated the newest block, you would, however, feel as if you had arrived in a small, private tropical oasis, which more than makes up for the two-minute walk to the main building.

Exterior

Three very different blocks in tone with their differing ages. Block one, the original built in 1994, is the most jaded with grey concrete roughcast exterior and pale blue balconies. Block two, built in 1998, is fresher in appearance and painted bright white with the same colour balconies, both are three storeys high and all apartment have balconies or terraces. The third block built in 2007 is a street away and accessed down a lane. Completely different in style and full of character, two storeys are built in a villa style with cream walls, terracotta roof and iron balustrades on the balconies.

Property type: Aparthotel



Storeys: 3

Interior

The lobby is the only internal area and is tidy and well-maintained. It houses a smart grey slate reception, TV area with comfy seating, wood panelled bar with adjacent games and a dining area. Following through is an outside terrace that overlooks the pool with simple, smart bistro furniture.

Rooms: 54

Grounds

Surrounded by a high hedge with feature archway to one side and concrete walls with fencing to the others. The pool is surrounded by a spacious tiled area with sporadic rockeries and a large green lawn to the rear. The wooden pool bar is unused and there are ample sunbeds but no parasols or shaded areas apparent. The newest block is thick in vegetation, and the pool is surrounded by grass, palm trees and mature greenery with thatched parasols and a pool bar to match.

Location

Area Type: Situated on a side street 300 metres from the main tourist strip where the bus stop is located, with its many bars, restaurants, fast-food outlets, nightclubs and shops. Some 2km along this busy coastal road brings you to the zoo and museum, and it's a further 2km to the old town and port. Surrounded by residential apartments, wasteland and building works. There is a supermarket and the British Legion social club 50 metres from the property.



Nearest beach: 400 metres (Limassol)
