Cute place to stay with unbeatable location on local buses and local food. Location next to the beach and the main street, and airport. For tea or coffee visit Justin's Cafe Bar nearby.

Rooms were clean and tidy, equipped with tea and coffee facilities. the balcony and rooms on the lower floors were just like we expected. Overall, everything was pleasant, but a few staff members seemed a bit grumpy. 😊

The location of this place is great, close to a variety of restaurants, shops, the beach, and other amenities. 🏖️ I enjoyed some refreshing drinks at bar Hakuna Matata, which is just a 5-minute walk from here.

The value for money at Hotel Sofia was excellent and the room was clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel was ideal, situated on a quiet road with secure parking. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
The morning meal could have been improved with a wider variety of options.

Upon arrival, I appreciated the quick and efficient check-in process. Although there was no parking directly at the hotel, unloading our car right in front made it hassle-free. The hotel even provided a voucher for parking just a short walk away. The cleanliness of the room and bathroom was perfect, and the back porch with a drying rack for our wet swimsuits was a thoughtful touch. The front room had a cozy double bed while the second room, separated by a door, had a bunk bed for the kids and a useful kitchenette with pots and pans. The air conditioning in the front room kept us cool, and the fast WiFi was a bonus. The hotel also provided towels, mats, and a water air mattress for the beach. I highly recommend this well-situated and cute hotel experience.

For the price we paid, Hotel Sofia definitely was pretty good. The room was clean, cozy, and had a lovely balcony. The location was perfect, just a two-minute walk to the beautiful beach. The staff were friendly and always available to help with any questions or needs we had.
The only thing that could have made the breakfast better was a wider variety of items.

I recently stayed at a centrally located hotel, Sofia, for my vacation. The check-in process was friendly and efficient. The room was adequately sized with a balcony, and there was a nice beach just a minute walk away. The price of the room was reasonable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful in providing recommendations and arranging any further vacation plans.
I can't recommend highly enough this hotel.
