Overall I really enjoyed my stay. It's clean but the bedding is a bit worn and has some permanent stains. Water lacked pressure in the shower but it was hot. The rooftop is lovely. It overlooks the city and you can see the ocean. Some more deck chairs would definitely be a plus. The major issue were the clients who would smoke in the balconies
. It's a non smoking building. There are plenty of places that allow smoking. There's no need to go there if you're unable to follow the most basic rules. There's a reason why they banned smoking in public areas. It ruins it for everyone else who are trying to enjoy their hard earned vacations or even the residents who live there and can't enjoy being on their balconies.
Our toilet did not flush for 2 days. Thankfully we know how to pour water in the toilet to make it flush. Staff person came to our room but was unable to fix the problem.
One bedside light did not work. Bedside outlet on one side did not work. Low pressure in shower
Noise from pool area & outside made sleep difficult
Not a place we would return to
Really great stay for those who want to explore and have a comfortable and clean room to return to in the evening. Just outside of the busy tourist area and close to everything. Lovely staff. We will definitely be back!
My wife and I had a good stay here but the do need to do some work to make this better. The biggest issue was the water pressure and lack of hot water. I could pee more than what comes out of the taps and no hot water in the kitchen made it difficult to wash dishes. They need to supply a kettle and more of the basics when there is a kitchenet. Good property, nice people and a great location made it a good stay all in all
Property was nice and clean very walkable to La Quinta Avenue ADO Bus is close by. You can get tickets to train Maya and go to Tulum. Juan Carlos in the front desk was very helpful. Great staff.
We loved the location from Sofia to Fifth Ave and the beach. It was quiet area and the rooftop pool was a plus. The only negative was we are a family of 5 and our room was 1 king and the kids had to sleep on super hard pullouts. Other than that we were happy with the stay.
Make sure to go to Choux Choux for breakfast.
Everything was great. The rooms are nice., well equipped and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is also very good. It’s only two blocks from my grocery store and many restaurants.
I will definitely stay here again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was convenient and staff were very friendly…….
Unfortunately we ended up with probably the only room with no patio on the main floor (room S009) located by the janitor closet and elevator. It was constantly noisy due to the expected foot traffic. Due to our location, this was an expected so no issue there.
On New Year’s morning we arrived back late after a fantastic celebratory evening/morning to then experience what can only be described as a rather rude awakening.
At 5 am the room across the hall from us had to be broken open due to a malfunctioning lock.
As we understand that these things happen, it was a 2 hour ordeal of constant loud physical smashing by staff as the guests had a flight to catch and the door had to be bashed in to gain access.
We understand that these things happen however we were very disappointed in the concierge indifference to the situation when our experience and attempt to rest was so brutally interrupted.
This is where our experience could have been better….
In the morning after getting absolutely no sleep, we attempted to explain our experience to the staff at the front desk. We were then met with complete indifference and there was absolutely no attempt to reconcile or any attempt to “make right” or even acknowledge our experience we had as guests. Even a simple acknowledgment of the inconvenience that we as guests experienced would have been enough however this was our biggest disappointment.

Loved the rooftop pool, NOT for light sleepers
Loved the rooftop pool with hammocks and in water loungers. Great value and location. Room was okay but a bunch of little things. Paint was peeling and walls looked dirty. Water pressure wasn’t good. And the walls really thin. Could hear construction outside and everything in rooms next to and above you. And hallways were really hot as others have commented. Staff was friendly and helpful with resolving issues esp when our airport shuttle didn’t show up
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Sofia. It is perfect if you're low maintenance and looking for a simple place. We made our own meals in the kitchenette and bought groceries from the nearby Walmart and Mega. The central area is only 15-20 min by foot, and there is also a BiciPlaya station right outside the hotel. You can also catch the Colectivo a block away.
Great value! Rooms are nice and clean with a modern esthetic. The root top is amazing! I would stay here again!

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
I called to asked to drop our bags off early because we had an excursion that day and couldn’t check in until 3pm. We get to the hotel around 11:15am wait around and charge our phone. The front desk person allow us to put our stuff in a secluded area. She never said they didn’t have power because part of the hotel had a little power. We come back from our excursion to find out that it hasn’t been power all day and we got back to the hotel around 7pm that evening. Which if we would have known earlier I could have found us elsewhere to stay. At this point we literally just changed our flight and flew home. Still waiting on my full refund.
