Our stay at the Sophia Hotel was amazing; the hotel itself is beautiful inside, but you can't top the view from the rooftop. Everyone at Sophia Hotel is very kind and welcoming. The staff made us feel special with joyful greetings every day, arranging taxis for us, and remembering our coffee orders and room number. The cooks are also incredible - the food at every meal was always fresh and delicious, and the complimentary breakfast is outstanding. This is the best hotel when staying in Cartagena, a luxury experience while still making you feel at home!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The staff was wonderful. And the hotel was beautiful. I loved its vibe and the fact that it was a boutique hotel. The customer service was so much more personal. From the tasty treats they would leave each day to the meticulous cleaning. I lost a tiny piercing one day and once I got to my room they had left it on my nightstand. I had spend all morning looking for it. Thank you Sophia for such a wonderful experience.

This hotel was very charming with large, well equipped rooms. Very comfortable, good a/c. The dining room was quaint with a nice breakfast, a combination of buffet style and a la carte items were included. Our favourite place was the rooftop patio - excellent view, cocktails and food. The location was excellent, just steps from the busy streets of the walled city. Tons to see within a 10 minute walk. I can’t say enough great things about our stay - would come back in a heartbeat.

The Sofia hotel was nice and staff was great. There are some things that in my opinion could be improved such as the breakfast options and the music on the patio. The hotel caters to foreigners and doesn’t embrace the Colombian culture although it’s in a great area. They play a lot of house music and it was a little annoying because you visit Colombia for their music and culture. The breakfast options were limited compared to the 5 hotels we visited prior in Colombia. The area is nice but not enjoyable because there’s always someone asking for money. Out of all the places visited the people in Cartagena was the less friendliest. While I understand the patio is open to the public, I believe the people who stay there should be treated respectfully. On the first night we went up with a complimentary ticket and the staff seem annoyed with our presence . Before he ask if he could help us he ask if we were staying there or not.
