    A Reasonable Place To Stay With Good Air Conditioning

    Despite a slight smell in the bathroom and the bed set adjacent to the wall, Sophia Hotel provided a reasonable stay with excellent air conditioning. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the air conditioning worked well in multiple rooms. The hotel's location was great, and they even offered free daily laundry service. I would recommend this hotel for a comfortable and convenient stay.

    The hotel is conveniently located in the city center with easy access to restaurants, shops, and sights. Our room was fairly comfortable and clean, with a hot shower and functioning air conditioning. The breakfast was a simple but adequate combination of toast, butter, jam, and tea. Moreover, the friendly reception staff provided helpful advice and prompt service.

    We were disappointed with the lack of maintenance in certain areas of the hotel. The furniture was outdated and some of the rooms had a musty smell.

    This hotel is perfect for business or leisure travel! The room was spacious with good air conditioning and a nice bathroom. The location is central, close to malls, stores, and a market. The best part is the attentive staff like Mohammed who helped with my requests and even found something valuable I'd forgotten. The breakfast is light but it's a great value for money experience.

    All was great, no complaints here!

    Nothing to complain about, overall a great stay.
