Reviews of Sofia Hotel
Mila R.
Good room, comfortable and clean. Unfortunately they were having construction every morning while I was there so I woke up every morning to constant loud hammering. Front desk never informed me they had construction happening. It would've been nice to know and have the choice to cancel. Cleaning staff also very loud out in the hallway in the morning.

Perfect for night next to the airport. 5 minute drive from Heraklion Aiport and super friendly staff with a 24hr desk. Have stayed here a few times and each was great. The rooms are simply, but clean and tidy. The pool and breakfast are spot on. The staff are happy to provide details for local restaurants that can deliver food if you want something not on the hotel menu.
