Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Nous sommes aux portes de l’aéroport. Il y a une piscine, des serviettes disponibles. Un restaurant sur place et un service de déjeuner excellent! Un ascenseur pour les étages. Un local pour travailler et un coin internet. Un stationnement disponible et à l’écart de la rue même s’il y a de la place pour stationner partout autour. Une cantina tout près et un dépanneur aussi. Sérieux ? quand tu arrives ou que tu quittes Héraklion et que tu veux que ce soit parfait avant ou après ton séjour en Crète c’est un havre de repos. J’imagine aussi que ce serait extra aussi pour séjourner longtemps. Seul possible bémol pour certains les avions décollent juste à côté. C’est beau les voir tout illuminé de soir. Un grand merci à l’équipe du Sophia hôtel. J’ai adoré xx"

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel but had few occasions with the dinner staff when they were very rude with us. They would not let us sit in the dining area as they had prepared the table for next morning and we didn’t want to sit outside. Even before we started eating or drinking they would come and ask us how would you pay which made us very uncomfortable. At one occasion the staff came to our room at 10:30 and knocked when clearly there was a Do not disturb sign hung on the door"
