The Sofia Hotel

6/10 Okay

"I stayed here many years ago and it has fallen from grace for sure. They used to have a lovely little restaurant which is now gone. The rooms feel like they’re in disrepair, the carpets, the walls, the furniture, the paint the tiles everything just feels so shabby and old. I would not stay here again."
