The heart of old Larnaca. Four ways to stay in it.

A hostel bed, a studio, an apartment, or a boutique hotel room — three of our four doors stand within thirty metres of St. Lazaros Church, the fourth four minutes away. All run by the same local family.

St. Lazaros

This is the old town of Larnaca — the real one

Step outside any of our four doors and you're already in it. The bell tower of St. Lazaros rings across the square. Shutters open onto narrow streets that have looked more or less the same for a century. Walk ten minutes and you're at the sea. We don't just run places to stay here — we live here too.

Reviews

What guests say

"The location is amazing! It is behind the church, in the city centre, and still the area is pretty calm. The staff were lovely, helped us store the luggage and even let us check in a bit early."

Tamara · Serbia · Booking.com

"Everything was perfect — the studio, cleanliness and comfort. It's not the first time I've visited. Located in the city centre, very close to the coastal road on foot."

Constantinos · Cyprus · Booking.com

"A hostel where I felt at home 😄"

Andjela · Kazakhstan · Le Mat Hostel, Booking.com

"It was a great experience staying at Le Mat Hostel. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful. The location is perfect — bars, restaurants, supermarkets, bus stop."

Bruno Lisboa · Portugal · Le Mat Hostel, Booking.com

"Very nice and convenient location, actually 400 metres from the beach. The room was clean and had all the cooking utensils and an electric stove. We will come here again."

Oksana · Ukraine · Booking.com

"I've been to 32 countries all over the world, and I can easily say that Le Mat Hostel felt more like my private retreat or home rather than a hostel — just amazing!"
