Summary of traveller reviews

House of Nissus in Ayia Napa is praised for its incredibly friendly and helpful staff, creating a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Guests enjoy the social vibe, with organised activities and communal spaces. It's a short walk to Nissi Beach, though a bit further from the main strip. Some recent reviews mention that female rooms do not lock, and one older review noted a smell and unhelpful staff, but this is not a common recent sentiment.

I had the most amazing time in House of Nissus!! The volunteers are all lovely and social. There are activities based on the number of guests in the hostel. Special mention to Lucia and Giorgos for cooking delicious BBQ meals during my stay! I have met so many lovely travellers that I will forever be grateful! The hostel itself is very clean, they have an outdoor pool, and a massive round table so everyone can gather and socialise. I will be missing Tess (dog) tho! I am definitely coming back!

If I could rank 10/10 purely for the staff I would. had the best time here as a solo traveler in my early 20’s. 10 min walk to beach but 40+ to strip. Theres a code for the front gate but rooms etc are all unlocked so that’s the only security downfall. Provided me with a towel & padlock for a large locker. Felt comfortable leaving things on my bed due to the curtains around each bunk bed which also helped for late wake ups! €4 cocktail happy hour & engaging staff = best vibes. Went to Musan too!
