Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
- The shower was not draining properly and any use of it over 3 minutes would have flooded the bathroom. - The TV was working on/off all the time. - Closet doors were so badly adjusted that I thought they breank when opening them, very noisy and not practical. - Half the numbers on the safe were not working Bathroom door was very noisy and almost coming off the track on opening - Staff was very polite but probably one of the worst room I ever had, specially for that kind of money.

Lovely hotel
The Sofia is a lovely boutique hotel located only 10 minutes walk from the Santa Fe railway station and 15 minutes to the cruise port. Our corner room was beautifully decorated, and our bed was super comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
