Petit Palais Platres Boutique Hotel

A wonderful warm welcome was had as soon as we entered reception. We didn’t have a booking and we were shown options of rooms available by an extremely helpful gentleman.After a complementary drink we went to our room which has a spectacular view and a small balcony to sit on . The room had everything that we needed and a very powerful shower . Breakfast was a variety of cold meats , yogurts , buffet style cooked and also omelettes . The lady that showed us to our table and we are sorry we can’t remember her name Was so helpful and explained to us about the different sweetened fruits that were on the buffet to try for example , sweetened bergamot, walnuts , grapes etc. We will definitely return one day .

Location is exceptional because the hotel is in the middle of the village so you have everything around in very short distance. Very nice rich breakfast with lots of tasty choices Marvelous desserts! Excellent view on the mountains. Nice very clean rooms but very small toilets Very friendly and helpful staff Good food but not value for money. Except the desserts!

Apart from its prime location in the top mountain resort of Platres, the quality of service and the culinary delights offered were both top notch, highly recommended. The hotel is a retreat to be considered like a home away from home. Friendly and welcoming staff and the recent renovation brought the experience to a refreshing level for what can best be described as a breath of fresh air in the beautiful platres forest.

The most bland vegan risotto I’ever tried… at the price of 27,90 euro. When I said so, the waiter said that I would need to add some salt (!). It would be good if the chef tasted their food before serving it. Unacceptable prices for the quality of food. I will never visit again and won’t even bother to book a room.

To be honest, I visited the hotel’s restaurant for a lunch, so I am not allowed to have an opinion regarding the hotel’s amenities and stay. We visited on a Saturday, 3 people. Food was tasty, portions were generous, staff was polite BUT the pricing was… over the top. We ordered a salad for starter (€18.50), 2 main dishes (a trout for €29.50 and a chicken for €24.50), 1 bottle of water (€3.00) and 2 glasses of local wine (€9.00 each). I consider myself a real traveller, visiting every year (repeatedly) a few of the most beautiful cities in Europe -from Paris, to Rome and Athens. When I travel I always visit traditional, cute places to amazing Michelin star restaurants so as to have different culinary experiences. I don’t mind spending a lot of money if there is a reason (for example if the chef is a superstar, if the restaurant is Michelin awarded, if the view is the best in the city -obviously you have to pay more if your view is Eiffel Tower or London Eye, etc) BUT I found the prices at Palais Perite insanely high -considering you are having a lunch at a small village in the Cyprus mountains. Nothing can justify the prices and the only reason I am posting this, is not because I want to give a bad review. That would have been unfair. The only reason I am writing all of the above, is simply to give the management some… food for thought. 🤍

How this hotel is only classified as a two star is beyond me!!! The staff are wonderful, particularly Anika and Audrey, the food is great, the wines excellent, the rooms well furnished, the beds comfortable, the decor is tasteful. The views from most rooms and the dining room are spectacular, the hotel location is great, right in the middle of Platres. I have stayed in much worse 4 star hotels in Spain, Italy and France. The attention to detail in this hotel is first class and we will definitely be back. The prices are great value and the chocolate fondant dessert is the best I have had in Cyprus!!! Great job guys, we look forward to staying with you again soon.
