We had an amazing stay at the Sophia hotel! We spent two nights here, and it was a very quiet area but still close and walkable to everything in El Centro. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, and the rooftop pool bar was beautiful with a great view of the city. The best part was the service, everyone on the staff was so nice and accommodating, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Our experience was phenomenal at this hotel. The staff was incredibly nice & attentive; their attention to detail was the best! I was part of a group of 10 people celebrating my husband’s milestone birthday & they made sure we had anything we needed at all times. Our Hagia Sophia suite was incredibly clean and being next door to the pool and bar area was so convenient. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone. What a great time here!
