Forest Park Hotel

For value for money this is an excellent large hotel in a lovely mountain setting. The bedroom was very large with a comfortable Bed, good lighting etc. The Hitel in areas in need if some refurbishment but for overall value its a good choice.

Enjoyed it

Beautiful hotel, clean but needs modernising

The hotel is in a lovely place at home with nature The staff are very friendly and welcoming The food is very good The hotel is tired and is in need of a refit We still had a good stay

Forest Park Hotel is like a time capsule, taking you back decades! It is a living museum with all its interesting history on the walls. A brandy sour is a must. In desperate need of renovation but I hope its charm remains when it’s done. Thank you Forest Park & hope to see you again soon.

Although hotel rundown because closing soon all was good

The room was clean, the bathroom was clean but the sink taps was very dirty and the water coming out the tap was not with full force, just spitting

The hotel was comfortable for our needs. The breakfast was very good and the swimming pool was an added bonus.

Friendly staff welcomed me on arrival. I was given a good sized room which was very clean and comfortable. Used the restaurant twice with food being excellent on both occasions. Lovely location with great views. Parking a little chaotic but fine if you don’t mind parking a little away from the hotel.

I’ve been visiting this hotel since 2002, and it has always been known for its wonderful swimming pool — one of the main reasons many guests, including myself, choose to stay here. Unfortunately, during my recent 4-day visit, the pool was out of order for the entire stay. I later learned it had been broken for 3 days before my arrival, yet I was never informed beforehand. Had I known, I would have reconsidered my booking. The indoor pool, which I hoped could be an alternative, was in poor condition — the water was freezing, cleanliness was lacking, and the overall atmosphere was far from inviting. What made matters worse was the repeated assurances from staff that the main pool would be “fixed by this evening,” a promise given daily but never fulfilled. This left me feeling misled rather than cared for as a guest. It saddens me to see such a noticeable decline in a place I’ve enjoyed for over two decades. I truly hope management addresses these issues so the hotel can regain the charm and quality it once had.

Very good property.

It’s a very old hotel and the rooms weren’t updated the last 30+ years. We were told the hotel will be renovated next year. Breakfast was average. We were also told guests that booked via hotels.com get inferior rooms compared to guests that book directly with the hotel. They had to change our room after they put my wife and our two kids in a moldy room with pieces of plaster from the ceiling laying on my kids beds. They apologized and put us in a better room after I showed them pictures of the original room.

Great breakfast, friendly staff and the quickest reception checkin ever. Wifi worked great. Parking is plentiful but on the windy hill drive. We stayed on a Saturday and Sunday night and there seemed to be children screaming and shouting until gone 10pm on Saturday in the public areas. Not on sunday. Overall great hotel, bit dated but loved the style.

Stayed for one night. Room was large and comfortable but dated. Balcony was peaceful and private. An interesting history but clearly past it’s best. The outdoor pool wasn’t open which wasn’t great. The indoor pool didn’t look clean or cared for. Flies around and dirty. The food was fine. The staff in bar and dining room were excellent and a credit to the hotel. Sweeping of areas around the hotel would be good and maybe update the games room. Glad we stayed but won’t be visiting again.

We truly admire its history and nature's contact. However, it is a VERY old facility now a days and all facilities are not in ideal status. Inside pool is good but not heated, outside pool abandoned not working, tennis pitch abandoned, small gym, toys for babes old and broken, shower water pressure low. Dining area is cousy and breakfast is good and with good variety. Room space was very good with a nice small terrace for couple tea/coffee time. WiFi is good enouigh. Restaurant lunch is with great flavour, we tried a pasta with salmon and my kidds a pizza marinara. For a laid-back experience, it is a very comfortable space and great spot for mountain walk around.

Amazing views. Very comfortable & spacious room. Restaurant was very nice & staff were great.

Very nice and helpful staff. Clean room - spacious. Good wifi Nice breakfast

We had a quick family trip (2 adults 3 kids) up to the mountains and decided to stay at forest park despite some mixed reviews. For us, it was a great trip! I suggest embracing this hotel for what it is: an ageing giant with really dedicating staff and clean rooms. We were in adjoining rooms 716 and 717. Our rooms were warm, clean and comfy. Dated a bit? Yes, but little old school details like crown moulding and vintage radios built into the bedframes are things we embrace and appreciate. The bar was, again, living in a past era but we found it a refreshing break from cookie cutter modern. Service was fantastic and prices really reasonable. Get the brandy sour and read the back story!! Our kids discovered a random little game nook on the 4th floor and played pinball etc. We had a great sleep without issue. Breakfast was hot, fresh and again served by very dedicated staff. Staff were generally a highlight here. Everyone worked as if they really care about the hotel. Overall, at €70 per room for midweek winter in Troodos, we were more than satisfied at forest park. If you stay here, take time to look at the display cases from generations past, and sit on dated lounge sofas absorbing the vibe. Notice things like the hardwood floors, crown moulding, cross stitched wall hangings etc. I think, in summay, I understand why this hotel elicits such strong opinions. If it's your thing it's REALLY gonna be your thing, and if it's not, it'll really put you off. For us, we loved this hotel

Very nice location. Staff is very friendly. Good breakfast. Hotel falling apart! It needs renovation.

For the size of the hotel, there is very little parking spaces. Check in was fine, the receptionist gave us all the info we needed. We had room 609, on 6th floor, it was a good size with a balcony and 2 chairs and a table with a lovely view. Our balcony overlooked the indoor swimming pool and the glass on the sky light was badly cracked and broken. The room was clean, bed really big and comfortable. We had towels and complimentary shampoo, conditioner , shower gel etc. Theres also a hairdryer. The bar area is very dated, felt like a canteen, but it was comfortable and theres a nice outdoor area to sit in. Again, needed up dating. There were only 2 restaurants open in Platres in the evening, which we didnt fancy either of them so decided to go back to hotel to eat. It was buffet style, although you could have had food from the bar area too, from a menu. The buffet food was very uninspiring, little choice, and cold. It was pretty awful to say the least. We told the waiter, who spoke to the chef and we were not charged for it. Breakfast was also buffet style, better than evening meal, not a bad choice, but by the time we got down at 9am there wasnt much left, it didnt blosetil 10am, so not very good. You had the usual greedy people who piled they're plates up high and then left it. Check out was ok. Needless to say, i wouldn't stay there again and wouldn't recommend it. The whole hotel was very tired looking and needs modernising
