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.
Joli hotel proche des restaurants et boutiques.
Chambres tres propre et personnels accueillant.
Tres bon petit déjeuner dans la petite cour et le personnel du petit déjeuner est tres souriant et sympathiques.
Centralt beliggende i byen med gåafstand til strand og gode spisesteder og udflugtsmuligheder som bådtur fra havnen. Rent, pænt, venligt personale og god service.
Accueil exceptionnelle, propreté irréprochable de notre chambre, localisation parfaite, stanionnement facile d'accès, qualité prix incroyable pour Plakias,
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.
Lite familiedrevet hotel med hyggelige eiere og personal. Et sted hvor en føler seg velkommen. Hele hotellet/rom var rent og vedlikeholdt. Bra service og bra frokost. Absolut et hotel som kan anbefales. Kommer gjerne tilbake på et senere tidspunkt.
Hade per mejl meddelat hotellet att rum med sjöutsikt förväntades. Då vi inte fick något svar förutsåg jag detta. Stor besvikelse då rummet saknade sjöutsikt. Hotellet påstod att de inte fått mejlet!
Hotel splendido, con ottimo rapporto qualità/prezz
Abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel per 3 notti, lo staff è stato molto disponibile e l'hotel davvero comodo, pulito e accogliente. Ottima anche la colazione, con ampia scelta. Buonissimo rapporto qualità prezzo (prezzo più basso della media e la colazione è inclusa).
Molto buona anche la posizione dell'albergo, semplice da raggiungere e vicino a tutti i servizi (ristoranti, supermercati, spiaggia, poste, ecc...).
Très grand appartement, très bien équipé, très propre, petits déjeuners dans une cour intérieure très agréable et copieux. Très bon rapport qualité-prix.
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.
Room was clean and reasonably comfortable. With a balcony overlookinf a green space with lots of cats. Breakfasr fine. Staff always helpful and polite. Watch out for slamming doors if you leave your balcony door open as the wind in Plakias is strong.
