Expert reviews
“Lokal is full of surprises. The façade of the centuries-old mansion in which it is housed hides a fabulous interior that is seriously cutting edge. There’s a glass-floored bridge, glass rooftop pool and bar, lots of hi-tech gizmos and a gourmet bistro. It’s a fusion that works.”

Didn't like the lighting - too complicated. Also didn't like the fact that the room lights repeatedly switched themselves on, in the night

Great place, will book again for sure!
Everything about this place was perfect! The lovely staff, each and every one of them offered great service and help, the breakfast, the rooftop pool, the rooms were so clean and fresh smell of the sheets and towels! The location was great as well, close to the centre and shops.
Nothing not to like.

Well located, but prioritisation of design and gimmicks over functionality didn’t work for us.
It was very well located in the old town and we could walk to key sites. It was good to have outdoor space and the public areas were well designed and furnished. The staff were friendly and attentive.
We originally reserved a room in the old building at the front but there was lots of street noise with no double glazing, and a hard bed so we asked to be moved. The main thing with both rooms we used was the design - in particular the use of glass for the bathrooms, but also in other features - like the poor coffee machines which looked cool but didn’t work, the dim lighting, the extremely hard beds (which we really struggled with) and the poor air conditioning. Some people will love the stark design, but we found it rather sterile and would prioritise privacy when using the toilet or shower, a decent nights sleep and would expect better equipment than we got.

Iman and the rest of the staff were extremely kind and helpful throughout the stay.
9 and not 10 as there were some missing details (like water on arrival, a micro fridge in the room, no sparkling water available), the information set on the tablet is extremely hard to read, unnecessarily complicating the experience.

Everything was amazing!
Seriously a gorgeous design boutique hotel in the city center like no other. Modern, clean and comfortable room, with access to a tranquil setting of a garden. The staff were exceptional. The breakfast options, even if we did not choose it in our initial booking was simply delicious. We had the amazing rooftop pool available just for us to relax. We will definitely return to this stylish boutique hotel!!!

A lovely, comfortable, clean hotel with super-friendly staff and amazing breakfasts.
Amazing breakfast, great location - very close to the sea and St Lazarus Church, Larnaca's most important historical monument. Beatufully restored building with modern annexe where the bedrooms are. Really friendly staff
There's a lovely rooftop pool. The pool surroundings could be made more comfortable and hospitable but we were there in winter so maybe they do more to make that space accommodating in the Summer. A hotel bar or in-room mini bar would have added a little to our experience. But these are minor issues

Fantastic stay!
Fantastic stay! We visited Lokàl Boutique Hotel for just a day, and we wish we could stay for the entire week, since we were pleasantly surprised in so many ways! Our room was of a great size, with modern amenities, hot water throughout the day and very clean. The staff were knowledgeable and happy to support us with our requests. The design of these two buildings is just great - it’s an amazing project preserving the old next to the new - very rare found in Cyprus and such an architectural gem for Larnaca. We would recommend this place for couples & friends. We will definitely be back.

The best location. The staff is lovely. The building itself and the interior design is impressive. Good breakfast served personally. Perfectly clean. Quiet.
Unfortunately the rooms are not as equipped as expected from this level of hotel. Everything is new and very clean, but extremely minimalistic, no coffee machine, no mini bar or fridge.

Excellent location, boutique clean and convenient hotel
The friendly staff, the comfortable room and excellent location. Located in a walking distance from main attractions. Decorated lobby and rooms. Exit to a wonderful garden with nice table and seats. High quality service and bath products. We haven't had the chance to use the swimming pool.
We can not think of things we didn't like...
29 November 2023
Awful. No AC, no privacy in room, tiny bathroom, no plug for hairdryer, very poor value
Old fashioned hotel, tiny pool which was not heated and unusable and more importantly, the air conditioning did not work. I could not stay in the room, which had floor to ceiling windows on two sides, wall on the other two. To get any privacy from the neighbouring buildings about 10 feet away, the heavy drapes had to stay closed. The ac did not work in the room! We had to check out after one day and were charged the full fee.
No air conditioning, no privacy from floor to ceiling windows. This is a 2 star hotel.

The breakfast was a delight. Every morning they has prepared something new and tasty. The hotel was perfectly located in the old town, just down the street off the most touristy places to gather.

Excellent hotel, great service
The infinity pool and patio on the roof were very nice and relaxing. The rooms are spacious, bed is comfortable, and good quality showers. Staff are very friendly and happy to help with anything they can to help you enjoy your stay.
The breakfast was not to my personal taste, but others seemed fine with it. The type of food and variety were a bit simple and more reflective of a complimentary breakfast. Not worth the 12 euro per person. This is my only negative feedback. The rest of the hotel was excellent, and the staff were great!

The room was very clean and nicely laid out Staff were all very nice The pool area was excellent and very relaxing Very comfortable bed
Photo's are very well taken to make the room look bigger. "Patio" in description sort of suggested the room had a private balcony/ patio which it didn't but the pool area made up for this. The rule they try to impose that you cannot bring in any of your own food or drink

Cosy boutique hotel with roof top pool
I picked the hotel because of Adults only. I was alone and wanted a calm experience in the public areas. The room was stylish and minimalistic. Very cool with the free standing bath tub in the corner. The roof top pool was a big plus, always nice to chill down after walking around in the heat. The breakfast was exquisite and enough.

Nice stay in Larnaca
The team at the hotel was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. I had requested a room with access to balcony at the time of booking but when I found the room itself to be very small and crammed, they were very quick to move me to a more spacious room on the ground floor in the newly built part. The room was clean, the bed comfy and the AC worked well. Breakfast was not huge with lots of options but very well thought through and nicely presented and tasty. Although the hotel doesn't serve food outside breakfast, you can order delivery and drinks can be ordered from the reception. Overall, the hotel is nice and cozy.
The electronic system of controlling lights and curtains doesn't really work that well and becomes more of a hassle than convenience. The pool area is not so well maintained.

Stunning
The privacy and location was excelent- Pretty much in the heart of Cyprus which allow us to rent a car and travel all beautifull places this island can offer. Only very few rooms in this small and cozy hotel gave us beautifull privacy which felt like we had all hotel for our own. pool area was always available and we never needed to sahare the area even for morning / evening swims. + Staff always very nice and helpfull.
I wouldnt say we did not like it but only minus was bathroom. Basically with open-spaced shower, water was running everywhere. luckly - great cleaning stuff saved us every morning :)

This boutique hotel is ideal. Modern, fresh, clean and comfortable room with door opening to patio garden with lounge chair to read and sip an evening cocktail. The staff were exceptional. The breakfast exceptional. The location ideal. Just minutes from the beach with access to kayak rental and water skiing. I had the amazing rooftop pool available to myself for magical escapism, peacefulness and tranquility. I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Larnaca ❤️

Short but very enjoyable stay.
Didn’t have breakfast. Location was great. Staff, super.
The use of a tablet for the lighting, curtains and safe deposit bows was totally unnecessary and most often annoying. At 2AM, I woke up my girlfriend while trying to walk quietly to the bathroom and passing a sensor which turned on lights in the room. Too much automation!
18 June 2023
Very good
Charming small hotel in the old city, just a few blocks from the seafront, on a very quiet street. Personnel were all very friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast each morning. The room, while comfortable, is basic and would benefit from the addition of few extra touches. A small bar fridge for water, power points beside the bed and mirror, and coffee and tea making facilities would make all the difference. Like most establishments in Greece, the shower was prone to flooding! If only the fall on the shower floor went in the right direction….. All in all I enjoyed my stay and would certainly return if the additions I suggested were made.

The hotel is well-decorated, and the room was spacious and comfy. The staff was very nice and helpful. They helped us understand our parking options and booked us a table in local restaurants even before our arrival. Breakfast was delicious. The location is on a charming and quiet street in the heart of the old city. We enjoyed our stay and will be happy to stay again on our next visit to Larnaca.
The only reason for not giving our stay a full 10 is the lukewarm water in the shower. I like a hot shower and I can take a shower in lukewarm water, but it's not a shower I can fully enjoy. I'm writing it in the hope it will come to the Hotel attention so it will be better when we come to stay again in the future.

The hotel was clean, quiet and well designed.
There was no refrigerator in the room and the late check out was very expensive (I had a flight at the evening, so I asked to stay until 18:00 and they charged me for 80 euros, which was almost the price of a full night at the hotel).
