Sophia Hotel is an excellent choice in Cartagena, Colombia, especially if you want to stay in the center of everything without being stuck in the middle of the noise. **Location:** The hotel is perfectly located in the Walled City, in a central area close to shops, restaurants, bars, and major attractions. It is convenient for walking almost everywhere. **Atmosphere:** The atmosphere is very nice and peaceful, while still being just around the corner from the festive activity. You get the best of both worlds—easy access to the nightlife and a relaxing place to return to. **Room:** The room was nice and spacious, with a comfortable bed and great pillows. It included a small L-shaped couch, a small desk, a large bureau/closet, a small safe, and a mini-bar refrigerator. The bathroom layout is a little different but works well: the sink is in the open area in the room, while the toilet and a large stand-up shower are separated. The towels were excellent—very large, thick, and soft. Honestly, they were so good, I would love to know where to buy them. **Value:** This is a mid-range hotel for the area, and the cost is well worth what you get. **Cleanliness:** The room, bathroom, and hotel overall were very clean. Housekeeping cleans the room daily, which helps keep everything fresh and comfortable. **Noise Level:** It could occasionally get a little noisy at night during festivals, but overall it was pretty peaceful—especially considering the location. **Service:** Outstandin

The hotel is old, needs to be remodeled. Horrible sewage smell coming from the bathroom, and urine smell outside of the hotel. The shower water is either freezing cold, or burning hot it switches immediately, maybe because we were on the 3rd floor. Got burned few times. Dirty cushions on the roof pool with stains. Staff was really friendly, that was the only good thing, and good location but very loud.
