Hotel was overall pretty good. Nice spot to hang out upstairs by the pool, that's why we booked the hotel. Very disappointing when late one night they knocked on our door to tell us the roof was closed the next day for a private function. If we had known earlier we could at least have booked something else for that day. So overall very poor service. Also, hotel is extremely loud. Can hear everything from the hall including hotel staff clanging glasses and moving boxes at all hours. Moving furniture on the roof was also very loud in our room. With so many options in the area id skip this hotel unless you like being woken up by loud noises at all hours.

The hotel is well located, excellent service, and a delicious, varied and nutritious breakfast. We want to highlight the attention of Belquis during breakfast, who always greeted us with a smile and patience, addressing our needs. And Lucelys Ruiz, who provided us with accurate advice when booking the tour to Islas del Rosario. We highly recommend the hotel; it was a delightful experience.

The customer service is great at this property. The hotel needs a few upgrades. There was no way to contact the room service/front desk besides having physically go to the front desk. We went on this trip with some friends and we both had the same room. Our room did not have a refrigerator so we could not keep any cold drinks. It was very loud so if you are looking for a hotel for relaxation I would keep looking. Previously we stayed at different resort away from the city but this time we stayed in the city... more than likely wont be staying in the city again. pros; customer service, breakfast is good, friendly employees cons; when you walk outside the hotel it smells like urine, difficult to get in contact with room service/front desk

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!
