Hotels Near GSP Stadium, Nicosia
Thursday 22 October 2026 GSP StadiumUpdated Thursday 22 October 2026
The short answer
11 hotels from our mapped pool sit within 8 km of GSP Stadium. Next up at the venue: AC Omonia vs SL Benfica on Thursday 22 October 2026. For that night the cheapest listed room starts around A$172 per night and the median is A$319, +16% against a normal A$276 night. Rates sampled 22 Oct 2026.
GSP Stadium sits about six kilometres south of central Nicosia, in Strovolos, so this is not a venue you walk to from a hotel. None of the 11 hotels we list are within walking distance, and the closest option is 5.64 kilometres away. Most travellers base themselves in central Nicosia, where ten hotels range from three-star to five-star, giving a mix of straightforward city stays and smarter options for a special trip. One more hotel sits in nearby Kastellorizo, a three-star choice at a similar distance. For the Europa League night against SL Benfica on 22 October 2026, expect Nicosia's central hotels to fill up quickly, since this is the kind of fixture that pulls travelling fans alongside local supporters. Staying centrally also makes sense beyond matchday, since you are not relying on being near the stadium itself. Wherever you choose, factor in a drive or bus trip to reach GSP Stadium, as the walk from the centre is roughly ninety minutes and not realistic on a match night.
When to book
With none of the 11 hotels within walking distance of GSP Stadium, book early for the AC Omonia vs SL Benfica fixture on 22 October 2026, particularly in central Nicosia where most of the ten hotels sit. The same applies to the later fixtures against Celtic FC on 10 December 2026 and Besiktas JK on 28 January 2027, since options near the stadium are limited to begin with.

Map: GSP Stadium and the listed hotels
Getting to GSP Stadium
Cyprus has no passenger railway, so getting to GSP Stadium means road travel by bus, taxi, rideshare or car. The GSP1 bus route runs from central Nicosia, including stops near the Ministry of Finance and Parliament, directly to Giannou Kranidioti GSP by the stadium, and routes 29, 3, 48 and X200 also stop nearby. Walking from the city centre takes around ninety minutes, too far for most spectators. By car, it is roughly a fifteen-minute drive from central Nicosia via Andrea Papacostas Street and Themistokli Dervi Street. A large car park sits near the stadium, though it can get congested on event days, so arriving early helps. Travellers flying into Larnaca International Airport can take the Kapnos Airport Shuttle to its Nicosia terminal, then continue by local bus or taxi to the stadium.
No rail service in Cyprus
Cyprus has no passenger railway, so travel to GSP Stadium is by road only, using buses, taxis, rideshare or private car. The island's train service ceased operating in 1951, leaving buses as the main public transport option nationwide.
