Paphos' hotel scene is split between the old town's narrow streets and the coastal strip from Coral Bay to Kato Pafos. The old town (Pafos) offers authentic Cypriot charm with 3-star hotels averaging €70-€120/night in low season, while the coast (Pafos Beach) commands €130-€250 for similar quality. Avoid the touristy areas near the Pafos Castle—overpriced and noisy.
The best value is in the Kato Pafos district, where you get sea views, easy access to the harbor, and walkable to the ancient ruins. High season (July-August) sees prices spike 40% above low season rates. For families, the Pafos Marina area offers all-inclusive resorts with private pools at €200-€300/night.
Always check for the Cyprus Tourism Organization certification to avoid unlicensed properties.
The cheapest reliable options are in the old town, where you get authentic Cypriot hospitality without the tourist markup.

For better amenities, try Hotel Lefkos (Kato Pafos, €55/night), which includes breakfast and a rooftop terrace with sea views.
Both are within 10 minutes of the Pafos Archaeological Museum. Avoid the "budget" hotels near the main square—they're often overpriced for substandard rooms. In low season (Oct-Apr), these prices drop to €35-€40/night.

Mid-range hotels in Paphos balance quality and price, with most offering sea views and breakfast. The best is Hotel Pafos Marina (Pafos Marina, €110/night), a 3-star with a private beach access and a Mediterranean restaurant serving fresh fish. For a quieter stay, Hotel Kato Pafos (Kato Pafos, €95/night) has a garden and is 5 minutes from the harbor.
Both are within walking distance of the ancient ruins. Avoid the "mid-range" hotels near the Pafos Castle—they're overpriced for mediocre service. In high season, these rates rise to €130-€150/night.
All mid-range options include breakfast, but none offer free parking—expect €5-€7/day for a car.

The top choice is The Pafos Beach Hotel (Pafos Beach, €320/night), a 5-star with a cliffside infinity pool and a restaurant serving lobster and local wine. For a quieter experience, try The Pafos Marina Resort (Pafos Marina, €280/night), which includes a spa and a private beach.

Book 3-4 months in advance for high season (July-August), when prices jump 40% above low season rates.
