Sun Hall Hotel stands on Athens Avenue, right on the seafront in the centre of Larnaca, and it is one of the most convenient places to stay in town. The marina, the Finikoudes promenade and Europe Square are only a couple of minutes’ walk away, so restaurants, cafes, shops and the waterfront are all on your doorstep. It has a strong reputation with guests, with high scores from hundreds of reviewers, and is the kind of hotel that rewards travellers who want a simple, well-located base in the heart of the action rather than a sprawling resort. The rooms cover a wide range of needs, which is a real strength. Standard and superior rooms come with city, partial sea or full sea views, there are triple and quadruple rooms for families, connecting rooms, and larger studios and apartments that can sleep a big group. If you want to wake to the sea, ask for a sea-view or partial sea-view room, and if you are travelling with several people, look at the connecting rooms and apartments. Free WiFi and air conditioning are standard, and the hotel offers daily housekeeping and laundry. Facilities include an outdoor pool with umbrellas and a poolside bar, a rooftop terrace, a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a lounge bar and a coffee shop. There is also a sauna, a library and a business centre with meeting rooms. The front desk is open all day, and staff can help with tours and tickets and with water sports equipment, which is handy for arranging boat trips and activities along the coast.
Larnaca’s historic and seaside sights are close at hand from here. The Church of Saint Lazarus, one of the island’s most important churches, is a short walk away, and the long Finikoudes Beach, backed by palm trees and cafes, is just a few minutes on foot. The medieval castle, the salt lake and the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque are easily reached by a short taxi ride or a pleasant walk or bus journey.
The airport is only a short drive away, which makes the hotel a good choice for a first night, a last night or a short city break.
This hotel suits couples, families and independent travellers who like to walk everywhere and eat out. It is less suited to travellers who want a big resort pool, spa and kids’ club, since its facilities are more modest, and those who want a private beach will need to head to a resort.
In return you get location, character and value, with a rooftop terrace for sunset drinks and a sea view if you choose the right room. Because it is a city-centre property, some rooms may hear street noise in summer, so ask for a quieter room if you need one.
Check the parking arrangements before you drive, as on-site parking is limited and nearby alternatives may apply. Airport transfers can be arranged for a fee, and booking early secures the best sea-view rooms and the larger family units. Prices are lower outside July and August, and the town is pleasant in spring, autumn and winter, when the weather is mild and the promenade is relaxed. From Larnaca you can reach Lefkara, Nicosia, Ayia Napa and the Troodos foothills by hire car or organised tour in comfortable day trips.
