A HIDDEN GEM

Although only a two star rated hotel, and because of this only requesting a 50c. per night accommodation tax, the Sofia has a big plus in that guests have access to a swimming pool and snackbar/drinks bar area which is part of the Sofia apartments unit just down the road. As the hotel is family - run, the lady on reception also cooks breakfast, offering a good range of continental -style foods and also freshly cooked eggs, which can either be eaten in the dining room or in a cool open-air central courtyard. My balcony, although small, overlooked the pool area and the room had a very smart green-tiled bathroom. The hotel is very central in Plakias and easy to find : there is a good supermarket opposite.

Bait and switch.

Bait and switch. As I arrived they told me they were taking me to their "family hotel" which was a few blocks away and the room was not even a 1 star level. Water was cold- freezing cold. And the hotel owners were not even apologetic nor did they admit that they oversold heir hotel.

Hotel splendido, con ottimo rapporto qualitĂ /prezz

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel per 3 notti, lo staff Ăš stato molto disponibile e l'hotel davvero comodo, pulito e accogliente. Ottima anche la colazione, con ampia scelta. Buonissimo rapporto qualitĂ  prezzo (prezzo piĂč basso della media e la colazione Ăš inclusa). Molto buona anche la posizione dell'albergo, semplice da raggiungere e vicino a tutti i servizi (ristoranti, supermercati, spiaggia, poste, ecc...).

Hotel Sofia: cerca de todo

Me gustó mucho este hotel, sencillo, pero acogedor y con un trato muy amable y correcto por parte de todo el personal. A destacar que tuvimos suerte de tener una habitación que no daba a la calle, puesto que en las cercanías hay bares y restaurantes que tienen abierto hasta tarde y probablemente hubiéramos tenido ruido por las noches.
