I enjoyed my stay at the Sophia Hotel, primarily due to its very nice location and the extremely comfortable beds. However, I found some aspects lacking, like the inconsistent quality of the rooms and the dining options that could use improvement. The air conditioning worked well, which was a plus during my visit. Overall, it feels more like a two-star hotel than a three-star one.

My stay at Sophia Hotel was mixed. The location is fantastic, putting me close to shopping and major attractions, and the bed in my Superior Double Room was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. However, the hotel itself feels a bit dated and not quite up to a three-star standard, which made it feel a little overpriced for what I received.
