Estuve 5 noches en el hotel Sophia en Cartagena con mi esposo. Las instalaciones estaban hermosas la cama sĂşper cĂłmoda y daban ganas de nunca salir de ella. Los desayunos estaban Ricos tenĂ­amos varias opciones y lo que mĂĄs me gustĂł es que tenĂ­amos opciones de la comida tĂ­pica cartagenera. En la piscina el bar increĂ­ble tenĂ­an muchos licores y varias opciones. En cuanto a su ubicaciĂłn fue increĂ­ble todas las noches salimos a caminar la ciudad amurallada tenĂ­amos una farmacia cerca reaturantes, bares, comida costosa comida econĂłmica muchas opciones. De igual forma el restaurante del hotel tambiĂŠn tenĂ­a muchas opciones deliciosas. Pero sin duda alguna los mĂĄs hermoso que tiene el hotel es su personal Dani, yulian, Karen, Luis, Evelin Erick y persdon si olvidĂł algĂşn nombre por q la realidad es que todos fueron increĂ­bles con nosotros. Nos trataron con cariĂąo con respeto con amabilidad fue triste despedirnos. En un prĂłximo viaje seguro este hotel serĂĄ nuestra opciĂłn.

Our time at the Sophia Hotel was truly wonderful! Andres was so helpful throughout our stay and was very kind with every question or conversation we had with him. He even managed to get our room upgraded to the rooftop balcony and we absolutely fell in love with that view. On top of that, at the rooftop Yulian was our happy familiar face at the pool and served us amazing drinks along with her very kind demeanor and nice conversations. We will definitely be back and recommend everyone to experience the amazing hospitality we received this trip. Thank you so much!

Sophia Hotel is an excellent choice in Cartagena, Colombia, especially if you want to stay in the center of everything without being stuck in the middle of the noise. **Location:** The hotel is perfectly located in the Walled City, in a central area close to shops, restaurants, bars, and major attractions. It is convenient for walking almost everywhere. **Atmosphere:** The atmosphere is very nice and peaceful, while still being just around the corner from the festive activity. You get the best of both worlds—easy access to the nightlife and a relaxing place to return to. **Room:** The room was nice and spacious, with a comfortable bed and great pillows. It included a small L-shaped couch, a small desk, a large bureau/closet, a small safe, and a mini-bar refrigerator. The bathroom layout is a little different but works well: the sink is in the open area in the room, while the toilet and a large stand-up shower are separated. The towels were excellent—very large, thick, and soft. Honestly, they were so good, I would love to know where to buy them. **Value:** This is a mid-range hotel for the area, and the cost is well worth what you get. **Cleanliness:** The room, bathroom, and hotel overall were very clean. Housekeeping cleans the room daily, which helps keep everything fresh and comfortable. **Noise Level:** It could occasionally get a little noisy at night during festivals, but overall it was pretty peaceful—especially considering the location. **Service:** Outstandin

The hotel is old, needs to be remodeled. Horrible sewage smell coming from the bathroom, and urine smell outside of the hotel. The shower water is either freezing cold, or burning hot it switches immediately, maybe because we were on the 3rd floor. Got burned few times. Dirty cushions on the roof pool with stains. Staff was really friendly, that was the only good thing, and good location but very loud.
