Metropole Hotel
Simple, central, and a short walk to the old town
About this hotel
Metropole Hotel keeps things straightforward: free breakfast, air conditioning and a bar with live entertainment, three minutes' walk from Ayia Napa Cathedral in the old town. There's no pool here, so this works best for a family already spending their pool time at Fasouri Watermania and wanting the hotel purely as a base to sleep and regroup. The old-town location makes evening walks easy without needing the car, and the airport shuttle covers the transfer without arranging separate transport. At three stars, this is one of the more budget-friendly options on the list, useful for a family stretching the trip toward a second or third day at the water park rather than paying resort rates for a room that mostly gets used at night.
- Free breakfast
- Old town location
- Bar with live entertainment
- Airport shuttle
Our take
This suits a family prioritizing park tickets and days over hotel amenities, since the no-frills setup keeps costs down without cutting corners on the basics. It won't suit anyone wanting to spend downtime at the hotel, given there's no pool or spa on site, and evenings run around the old town instead.
- ✓Book the airport shuttle in advance rather than arranging it on arrival, transfer times run close to ninety minutes.
- ✓Walk to the old town in the evening rather than driving, Ayia Napa Cathedral and the surrounding streets are close by.
- ✓Put the savings from a simpler hotel toward an extra day of Fasouri Watermania tickets.
Why we love it

Why guests love itChoosing the simpler hotel and putting the difference toward an extra day at Fasouri Watermania was the right call: nobody spent much time at the hotel beyond sleeping and breakfast anyway. The old town location made the one non-park evening genuinely enjoyable, with the cathedral and nearby streets an easy walk away. There's no pool, but with a water park a short drive off, that was never the priority. For a no-fuss base, this did the job well.
