Hotels in Limassol: prices, timing and areas
Limassol stretches along the southern coast of Cyprus, between the harbour and marina and a run of beaches on the eastern side of town. Its heart is the Molos seafront promenade and the mediaeval castle in the old town, and on the way to the resorts you pass Dasoudi and Ladies Mile beaches. Behind the city rise the Troodos mountains with their vineyards, home of the sweet Commandaria wine. This list has 558 properties, from a hostel bed and a studio in the centre to a large resort by the beach. Below is what moves the price of a stay most: the time of year, the day of the week and the type of place.
When to book a stay in Limassol for less
This is a warm-season resort, so prices follow the beach season. The most visitors and the highest rates fall in the warm half of the year, peaking in summer, when the sea is at its best and Dasoudi and Ladies Mile beaches are full. Winter is calmer and clearly cheaper, with the bottom of the range usually in January, though the February carnival lifts it for a few days. The day of the week matters too: midweek is cheapest, around Tuesday, while Friday and the weekend are the priciest, when guests arrive from Nicosia and Larnaca. A typical stay runs about five nights, so if you start it midweek, a few pricier Saturdays fall outside the booking.
What a stay costs by property type
The spread is wide, as a hostel bed in the old town and a room in a five-star resort in Agios Tychonas are two different worlds. The cheapest sleep is in hostels and small studios in the centre; the most is in the seafront resorts with a spa. Below are indicative nightly rates.
| Property type | Indicative price per night (from) |
| Bed in a hostel | from approx. € 20 |
| Studio or apartment in the centre | from approx. € 90 |
| City hotel (3-star) in the centre | from approx. € 130 |
| Hotel by the beach (4-star) | from approx. € 160 |
| 5-star resort by the beach | from approx. € 265 |

Where to stay in Limassol
The cheapest base closest to the sights is the old town. From here you can walk to the castle, the Molos promenade, the marina and the tavernas, and a stay starts with reasonably priced studios. Around the marina and along Molos it is more modern and boutique, with waterfront dining. For the beach, aim for Germasogeia by Dasoudi, where family hotels have direct access to the sea. The priciest and most resort-like strip is Agios Tychonas to the east, with five-star hotels such as Amathus, Four Seasons and AMARA. The business district around Makarios Avenue suits a work trip. We give hard prices below for specific properties, because the gap comes mainly from the hotel standard and the distance from the beach.
Which stay in Limassol suits whom
- For families. The easiest base is by Dasoudi Beach in Germasogeia, with shallow water, while the city offers the Municipal Gardens and the Fasouri Watermania water park. Resorts such as the Atlantica Miramare Beach and the Royal Apollonia work well for families.
- For couples. The stone lanes of the old town by the castle, dinner at the marina and a trip to the Troodos vineyards to taste Commandaria. Hotels with character include the Four Seasons and the AMARA - Sea Your Only View.
- With breakfast and central. Close to the promenade and restaurants, with a good breakfast, are hotels such as the Old Port Hotel and the S Paul City Hotel in the old town.
- By the beach. Right on the sea are the resorts in Agios Tychonas and by Dasoudi, while among the city hotels the NYX Hotel Limassol with its pool stays close to the beach.
- For airport arrivals. Limassol has no airport of its own; you arrive from Larnaca or Paphos, about an hour away. For the first night a hotel with a transfer or good motorway access helps.

When Limassol is more expensive
The dearest and busiest time is the warm half of the year, peaking in summer, when the sea is warmest and the beaches and marina fill up ahead of time. Spring and early autumn are calmer and usually cheaper while the weather still holds. Winter is the quietest time with the lowest prices, though the February carnival brings a short spike and the September Wine Festival lifts rates for a few days. In every season Friday and the weekend cost more than midweek.
