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!

Simply excellent. Sophia Hotel is fantastic hotel in the heart of the old town/centre. The rooftop pool and bar area has a lovely view and the food is good too. The music can be a little loud, but the staff are friendly and happily turned it down when we were the only couple on the roof enjoying the pool. Reception is excellent with any questions you may have and helped us immensely. The breakfast is also amazing! Thank you to the staff for such a great stay.

An amazing place to stay in Cartagena. Sophia Hotel only has 15 rooms or so, but the staff is so present and helpful that you feel like you are at a much bigger property. My room was large and lovely with a great view over the adjoining plaza. AC was great too -- very important in Cartagena. Best of all, the location is perfect. Across the street from a quiet plaza, around the corner from one of the most busy ones, near everything. Highly recommended.
