Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Cyprus may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity are legal in Cyprus, and civil unions which grant several of the rights and benefits of marriage have been legal since December 2015.
Traditionally, the socially conservative Greek Orthodox Church has had significant influence over public opinion and politics regarding LGBT rights. However, ever since Cyprus sought membership in the European Union, it had to change its human rights legislation, including its laws regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. Attitudes towards members of the LGBT community are evolving and becoming increasingly more accepting and tolerant.
Nicosia has a long history of being a gay friendly town and in downtown we can find a few gay friendly bars as well as Bastione Bar is the most famous gay bar in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Nicosia, also known as Lefkosia, is the divided capital city of Cyprus. South of the border, on the Greek side, the Cyprus Museum has archaeological finds from the Neolithic to Byzantine periods, including the Aphrodite of Soloi statue. Nearby, the old city’s 16th-century Venetian walls include the Famagusta, Kyrenia and Paphos gates. Inside the walls, a marble mausoleum sits next to 19th-century Faneromeni Church.

There is a very nice atmosphere in the hotel. The reception stuff is friendly and helpful.
The rooms a big enough modern and very clean and the bed is very comfortable. The breakfast card is small but you can find all you like. The toast with the eggs and haloumi are very delicious and to recommend.
This is a lovely, well looked after hotel with a modern interior. It is slightly out of the way from other things, but nothing hiring a car or being prepared to pay for a taxi wouldn’t change, and its only a short walk to some shops for snacks, drinks and food if needed. Staff were amazing, and helpful if we had any questions during our stay.
The room was refreshed daily, not only with toiletries but also a litre bottle of water which was great as meant we didn’t have to buy as much water as normal when we’re abroad so saved us money and trips to the shops. The hotel was peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast came with lots of continental choice, although it was the same on offer everyday there was enough there not to have to have the same everyday, they even had a waffle maker and made omelettes and poached eggs to your request.
Large bed, turned out to be two singles pushed together but you wouldn’t know, extremely comfortable. Air conditioning available in the room, good sized wardrobe, desk, two chairs, cupboards, fridge, proper hairdryer not one of those tiny ones or ones that are like a hand dryer, iron and board and a safe everything you could possibly need during your stay.
I stayed for 10 days mostly with my boyfriend but a couple of times he had to work so I stayed alone which was no issue in this hotel. It also had a good sized balcony with seating area. Couldn’t fault the hotel, I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone else travelling to Nicosia.

This is now the only Hilton in Cyprus as the other has been taken over. I was upgraded to a king executive plus room which was spacious and modern.
