Bougainvillea Garden

The lady who is the host of the place creates from the start a homely and memorable experience. With her warm welcome and gift makes you feel at ease and taken care of. The room is simple, comfortable and peaceful with a beautiful window. The breakfast was lovely as well.

The location is a bit off the centre.

Lovely hotel in the center of the city. The old lady there was super cute, made a really nice breakfast and we had the best tips for going around the city. Highly recommend!

Really genuine experience Very friendly hosts Delicious breakfast Lovely bed linen

The location of the guest house is very good, just a few minutes’ walk from the main square (about 8 minutes). The house is a charming old-town property, beautifully restored, with only three rooms and a small, lovely inner courtyard where breakfast is served. Breakfast is limited but nice and satisfying. Memduh, the owner, was very responsive and attentive to our needs. He helped us arrange a taxi to the airport on our last day and gave us useful tips on how to reach Famagusta by public transportation. He also gifted us a soap that he makes artisanally.

With all the positive aspects considered, unfortunately we did not find a good value for money at this place. The room was very small and not insulated at all. It is difficult to sleep at night due to noise from outside (a rooster and a dog) as well as from other guests—not their fault, but a consequence of poor insulation. The cleaning lady, who is also the only person you will interact with in person during your stay (from check-in to check-out), is very kind but does not speak any English, which makes communication difficult. She was responsible for three main tasks: cleaning the room, preparing breakfast at the agreed time, and following the selected breakfast options (guests are given a form upon arrival). However, during our stay, the room was never cleaned, breakfast was often incomplete or incorrect, and on the day of our departure she arrived late—despite Memduh kindly agreeing to serve breakfast at 7:00 AM for us. We were close to having to prepare breakfast ourselves. Additionally, she was often quite loud on her phone while working in the common areas, and we could clearly hear everything from our room. All in all, this is a pleasant place, but the service needs to be significantly improved to justify the price.
