British Hotel is a boutique hotel in Kyrenia, North Cyprus. Tucked up a pretty cobbled side street, the British Hotel is just behind historic Kyrenia harbour, with its restaurants, shops and cafés. This friendly hotel has recently been renovated, so every one of its 18 rooms has an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, satellite TV and really comfortable beds. The harbour views from the British Hotel's roof terrace are probably the best in Kyrenia!

I stayed at the British Hotel recently and in spite of it's fairly low 2-star rating, I felt as if I were in a 3 or 4 star hotel! This is our first time to Northern Cyprus and we stayed in a first floor room with a terrace and we had a wonderful view of the sea and the harbour. It was lovely and a great view to wake up to each morning! Our room contained a mini bar and the maids refilled it for us regularly. We also had tea and coffee making facilities in our room, making it handy to have our... more
We recently stayed at the British Hotel in a first floor room with a terrace view. I was quite pleasantly surprised at how nice the place was, considering it had only a 2 star rating. Our room was spotless, nicely furnished and had modern shower facilities. Our rooms were cleaned daily and the maids offered us fresh towels twice a day. We couldn't have asked for better service. Our terrace faced the sea, so we had a really nice view of the harbour and of several restaurants that sat on the... more
Thoroughly enjoyed stay. Room immaculately cleaned.Staff very helpful.Parking and access to the Harbour Area can be awkward.Suggest find somewhere on the front or by castle, park car, go to hotel and seek parking advice.Will recommend to friends and family. Sightseeing - Thought the Castle, especially the Boat Museum excellent.Bellapais well worth a visit.Grateful to the Tourist Organisation for the map.... more
There are many good things to say about the British Hotel, it's proximity to the old harbour and lots of restaurants (we particularly liked Niazi's and the Lagoon restaurants). It has very good views especially from the top two floors and the roof terrace. It is good if you prefer a smaller hotel with friendly and helpful staff and language was no problem. Our room was on the second floor. It was basic but comfortable with daily cleaning and towel changes. We found the beds comfortable and the room... more
I haven't been back from my holiday for very long but had to share the experience we had at the British Hotel, Kyrenia. I honestly have never stayed somewhere with such stunning surroundings! This place had it all: beaches, mountains, historic buildings, cobbled streets. I am so glad that I have found a small haven which differs from so many typical sun holidays. This place certainly hasn't been attacked by tourism, yet. Although the hotel is basic, the rooms have excellent facilities. The price... more
My partner and I loved the idea of the exclusivity of a boutique hotel and the British Hotel didn't disappoint. Being small and fairly reasonable we knew that it wouldn't be film star quality but it really was everything we expected and perhaps more.We never felt crowded at the hotel and really felt like we were truly somewhere else. So many times you book into these large chain hotels and feel like you are on a conveyor belt holiday. This was completely the opposite. The hotel offered friendly... more
We chose this hotel for the location and view, which was spot on. Our particular bedroom had a great view and was very spacious and tastefully decorated, I think the room must have been recently refurbished. The beds and cushions were of a good standard and were exceptionally comfortable. There were plenty of facilities such as the coffee/tea maker but there is a small charge for the small sachets to use as apparently it classes as part of the mini bar! We were on the 4th floor and had a small but... more
hotel was well positioned, from outside looked nice but on entering it was obviously in nead of freshening up and the bedroom even though where light and cleen also where tired and needed up dating , bathroom was in great need of refurbishing and plumbing was bad, floor flooded every time you showered,trim around bath was mouldy and cracked away from wall, balcony railings needed painting and concrete was breaking away in places, air conditioning units where rusty, patio furniture where dirty and... more
We were recomanded this hotel from some friend, who had been there a couple of years ago, and we were not disappointed.The hotel is very nice and clean. Very helpful people. The service is very good and kind. A good hotel and not expensive and it has the most beautiful view over the harbour from the top of the hotel.The hotel also has a beautiful breakfast. We only stayed for two days, but we will be back for sure.... more
Stayed at the British Hotel in Kyrenia for 2 weeks in June 2009. Verdict - not the best but certainly not the worst!The hotel staff were very friendly and did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible.The rooms are in average condition, clean and adequate to rest after a hard days soaking up the sun. The air con worked very well and was free of charge!The hotel is in a fine position - 20 seconds walk from the harbour - this is perfect if you want to stay close to the harbour.I dont... more
Near to the harbor. Near to casinos. We use Hotel Domes pool and beach, 5 min walk.The hotel is clean but our room (105) needs a lot of maintance.Personal is friendly and the breakfast was very good.If you like a hotel in the center. This is perfect!You can walk to all facalitis. ... more

The Hotel is 1 street back from the harbour wall next to the White Pearl. It is a good quiet style hotel with a helpful, welcoming staff and atmosphere. It has a lift but a couple of steps up from street level to the ground floor and from the ground floor to the lift. The rooms were very clean and tidy, although one of the rooms I stayed in, over 2 visits, the plumbing had some of the usual Cyprus probs. Internet is available free of charge and works well. Breakfasts are good and flexible if you... more
Picture gives the impression that the hotel is directly on the harbour. It is,in fact one street back. This is of little consequence as rooms on the upper floors have a commanding view of the harbour and castle. It is close to the activity of Pafos.Not plush but very comfortable and spotlessly clean.The staff were most accommodating, friendly and fun.The hotel is a "one stop shop" and will arrange everything - airport transfer,car hire etc.... more
We booked the British Hotel because we don't drive and we wanted to stay right in the centre of Kyrenia, rather than outside the city in a resort hotel. The British Hotel was ideal as it overlooked the harbour, and the entrance was up a pretty little cobbled side street. From the balcony in our room we had a superb view across the harbour to Kyrenia Castle, which was a great place to sit and watch the boats come and go. I would imagine in high summer it could be noisy on your balcony from the restaurants... more
