Where the hotel is
Hotel Sun is a city hotel in Lefkoşa (Nicosia), Northern Cyprus, located in the modern part of town outside the old walls. The walled city, known for the Büyük Han (Great Inn) and the Selimiye Mosque, is a short drive away, making it easy to explore the old bazaar and its narrow lanes. Grand Pasha Nicosia Hotel & Casino is right next door, and Alya Rooms and Merit Lefkoşa Hotel are a few minutes' walk away.
Because Hotel Sun sits right beside a larger hotel, enter the hotel name exactly as written when you book; your driver will then take you to Hotel Sun's own door rather than the neighbouring entrance. The fixed-price private transfer is paid in the vehicle, and free cancellation applies if your plans change.
