My husband and I have just returned from a 4 night stay here. The rooms are basic with the bathroom, particularly the shower cubicle being very small but it a cleaner attended every day and there was a tray with some complimentary items , eg: vanity kit, loofahs, shower caps, shaving kit, toothbrush and toothpaste kit and a couple of other things, also 2 small soaps and shower gels in the bathroom. There's is a small kitchenette which is well stocked with what you'd need to make a meal if necessary. We stayed b&b and the breakfast was very good. They serve meals throughout the day but we ate out every night due to the amount of restaurants within a short walk. The drinks are reasonably priced with a good happy hour deal between 6 and 9 pm. Plenty of sunloungers so if there are none available around the pool, there's a huge rooftop terrace which we used once, but we were the only people up there. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our pickup to come home wasn't till 6.30 pm, so we had to use the pool shower to freshen up then change in the toilets as there is no changing room, but it did the job. I've given it 5 stars based on the price paid and the fact it's only a 2 star hotel.

“This place is AWESOME!”

This place is awesome! Stephen and I loved everything about it. The staff are incredible. They could not have been friendlier or more professional, helpful and kind.

This place is awesome! Stephen and I loved everything about it. The staff are incredible. They could not have been friendlier or more professional, helpful and kind. The hotel is a lovely place to relax, but also have fun, as the bar is vibrant in the evenings (it is fun all day long, actually). The drinks are lovely, and the bar food was really good quality and tasty (we enjoyed the salads). The rooms were spotlessly clean, larger than we had expected, and all had a lovely little balcony that we enjoyed sitting out on between visiting all the wonderful bars, restaurants and shops that were just a stone's throw away. We felt that Sofia's hotel is very good value for money, and exceeded our expectations. It was in a great location, was very clean and was run very efficiently. The staff really made it for us, and we loved singing kareoke with them! We adopted a resident cat, who we named, Apollo, and we fed him and he hung out with us, so if you love animals, and cats, (like we do), then this is especially cute. The resident handyman who works tirelessly on the complex is also lovely, and keeps the whole place spotless and working well. We enjoyed watching him meticulously clean the pool of an evening. You can see he puts his soul in to his job, just like the rest of the staff at Sofia's - all of them, just so lovely. Don't miss out on the sun terrace at Sofia's (like we almost did), it offers a really beautiful view of the Kalamaki sunset (best enjoyed with a cocktail!). You are also very close to the beach here. The location really is perfect for all you need. Kalamaki beach is absolutely gorgeous. We wished we had spent more time there (this island is gorgeous to explore, so much to see and do!). It's closed in the evening so that the turtles can lay their eggs safely in the sand and re-opens in the morning. It's a beautiful, tranquil beach with a still sea, like a bath! Hella gorgeous - you must go! It also has a very nice beach bar and restaurant that has glorious sea views. We highly recommend Sofia's Hotel, for couples, families, friends, or anyone! It's a fantatsic place to stay in a wonderful location, with incredible staff and offers real value for your money - honestly, don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed. We would go back there tomorrow if we could! We hope to see you all again. x

“3.5 stars”

We enjoyed our stay at Sofias and for the price we paid I would say we got what was expected. I would rate it 3.5 stars. Good points: - Location is excellent, right in between the new and old strip (we preferred the old strip) - Staff are friendly and welcoming - Room size was very good, we were given a one bedroom apartment which had a separate living room with a kitchenette. - Air con was great and was included in the price - Rooms and grounds were kept clean to a good standard - Included breakfast had a good selection, however it would have been nice to have a bit more fruit offered as there was just one plate of different small pieces of fruit and once they were gone, they were gone. Bad points: - The rooms were so noisy as the walls were so thin, you could hear every foot step of next door and I’m sure our neighbours were doing the olympics in their room!! I heard them turn their light on at 530 am, that’s a noise you shouldn’t be able to hear through a wall. - The beds are uncomfortable the mattresses are very thin (feel just like a foam mattress) and the bed frame is just slats of wood. - The sunbeds, they were so uncomfortable and many of them were broken and tattered. We only spent 3 days by the pool due to this out of a 10 day holiday and instead spent money at the beach. Unfortunately, for us we wouldn’t return as comfort is very important for us on a holiday. However if the bed situation and sun beds were improved we definitely would return (and bring ear plugs with us!)
