Just returned from a one weeks stay in Kyrenia. We stayed at the Highlife Hotel which we knew when we booked wasn't a luxury or boutique hotel but it sounded very nice and value for money. It is a lovely small hotel with rooms overlooking the swimming pool and mountains to the back of rooms, spacious and comfortable (ours), and... More

Brilliant hotel with lots to like, holiday only spoilt by the lack of staff (one girl to do everything) serving breakfast and cleaning out rooms, and the terrible attitude of the hotel owner who has no people sklls at all. When asked for breakfast at 7.30am for an early departure his reply was no breakfast is at 8.00 am and... More

The setting of this hotel is amazing and I felt as though I was in paradise when I opened my door or stepped out onto the balcony. Unfortunately, the owner was not set up for the season when I arrived and I couldn't get in. I ended up staying at Pia Bella for one night. The next day, I returned... More

We arrived at the High Life on 24 September. Although it was dark when we arrived, if arriving during daylight hours do not be put off by the first impression of the 'front' of the hotel - the hotel is back to front. The hotel consists of two blocks A and B, (we stayed in block B at the 'front'... More

It is 13 years since our last visit to Kyrenia but the first visit to High Life Hotel. What a surprise!!. It is small, only 20 rooms. which suited us because there was always room around the super pool area, Breakfasts were served either alfresco or inside the pleasant restaurant bar but it was so warm out side we chose...

This could be a great little hotel, but unfortunately it isn't . There are positives , like the staff (excluding Beha) , the view from the balcony , the pool area is excellent and the gardens are great . Unfortunately and overall the negatives pull the Hotel down. One of the 'jewels' should be the view over the sea from... More

We found High Life on lastminute.com and went with it because of the big price difference between it and the more expensive Bellapais Monastery Hotel. Our experience was generally positive, but a series of near daily irritations meant that a good stay never quite became a great one. The hotel is small, with a decent sized and well cleaned pool....

Having read the various reviews we decided to approached the hotel with an open mind. Yes, there are many cats but they do not bother you in any way and they are exceptionally clean. Also, food can take a little time to arrive but we were in no rush and when it did arrive it was of a high standard... More

Lovely situation looking over the sea. bathrooms need updating. Beha the owner is a great fun person and willing to help at all times. Barbeque very good. Breakfast each morning looking over the sea. Rooms quite large with balcony. Parking and great deals on hire car if booked on the web directly with the hotel. Lovely swimming pool. Staff polite... More
