    quirky lift

    Had a great one-night stay at Sofia! Super friendly staff helped me out, and the convenient parking made everything easy. The pool area looked inviting even though I didn’t swim. Only downside was the small lift, a bit quirky. Will definitely come back!

    outdated room
    bad breakfast

    the outdated room was a shockingly unpleasant surprise, with an unthinkable lack of privacy. i also expected a complimentary upgrade for enduring such crap, but clearly, that was wishful thinking. breakfast was another disaster with instant coffee and juice that tasted like chemicals. i almost could've given a good review, but i just couldn’t.

    noisy environment
    basic decor

    Noise from other guests and aircraft affects sleep quality!!! Basic room decor feels outdated and uninspired!!! Shower design in smaller rooms lacks functionality, leading to water spillage!!! Limited pool hours restrict enjoyment!!!

    outdoor pool
    convenient location

    I had a great experience with the helpful staff who arranged a taxi for us to the airport after we realized we had left something important behind. The outdoor pool was a nice spot to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. I enjoyed how convenient it was to walk to nearby restaurants and shops. This made my stay enjoyable as a family traveling from Italy.

    play area

    The outdoor pool was a hit with my family, especially with our little one splashing around. We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the good breakfast options. The proximity to the airport made it easy for our family to relax and catch our flight smoothly.

    For dads, it would be great to have a dedicated play area for kids.

    large room

    This place was just a fitting option for a weekend outing in Heraklion with high value for money. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making check-in a breeze even after a long journey. Make sure to ask for a larger room to avoid any shower flooding issues.

    My stay at sofia was a nice surprise. I only needed a quick stay before heading out to explore crete, and the staff were kind and helpful. Everything from the clean room to the good breakfast exceeded my expectations.

    the air conditioning was not working.

    basic breakfast

    Great for a quick overnight stay, especially with its proximity to the airport. A clean and tidy room featured a comfortable bed and a lovely balcony. The breakfast was decent and offered value for the price. However, the shower lacked pressure and the pool seemed quite small. Overall, it serves well for short visits rather than extended stays.

    comfortable stay near the airport

    The room was clean with a comfortable bed which made my one-night stay relaxing. The staff were very welcoming and attentive, making the check-in process quick and hassle-free. I enjoyed the decent breakfast spread that offered a variety of options to start the day. I appreciated the location's ease of access to nearby attractions.

    However, the lift was a bit small, which could be inconvenient.
