Sophia Hotel is ideally located within walking distance to everything! Taxis and horse/buggy are usually lined up right outside the hotel’s door. Its location is more conveniently located closer to nightlife, the local activity and restaurants than many other brand name or more advertised hotels. The staff are wonderful and their rooftop allows a daytime escape from the hustle and bustle when needed. The rooms are well maintained but you have to be aware that mosquitoes exist even in an AC room. Its location is very safe! I would definitely recommend and return to this boutique hotel.

The hotel is small but beautiful cool rooftop bar. Staff was great The only problem I had was on check out I owed 12000. Pesos for a coke and trying to pay with a 50000 and was told they did not have change. Which seemed strange for a hotel with a rooftop bar and restaurant did not have change for a 50.

Mi experiencia en el Hotel Sophia en Cartagena fue sencillamente excepcional. Desde el momento en que llegamos, el personal fue increíblemente amable y acogedor, superando nuestras expectativas en todo momento. El desayuno fue excelente, con una gran variedad de opciones frescas y deliciosas que nos hicieron empezar el día de la mejor manera. Quiero destacar especialmente al recepcionista Farit, quien hizo nuestra estadía aún más agradable. Fue muy atento, siempre dispuesto a ayudar y a asegurarse de que tuviéramos todo lo que necesitábamos para disfrutar al máximo de nuestra visita. Su profesionalismo y amabilidad realmente marcaron la diferencia. Recomiendo encarecidamente el Hotel Sophia para cualquiera que busque una experiencia única y acogedora en Cartagena. ¡Volveremos sin duda!
