“Basic, budget price hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2010

Basic, no frills, budget priced hotel. No complaints, was a bit better than I was expecting for the price. Good value for money.

“Sherlock Homes & the mystery of the pink toilet paper!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2010

person found this review helpful

Close to Paddo tube-great. Cheap & cheerful but she says smelled of insecticide! Linen clean but bed-spread dodgy.Smelly shower curtain but bathroom ideal for the contortionists none the less. However there was something very amusing about this place. They had stuffed pink toilet paper all around perimeter of room between carpet & wall! Extracted a piece for further inspection but unable to come to any logical conclusion. Love their worki! Quiet despite day-time construction next door & some slamming of doors late at night. I'd come back but you know women!!!

“Nice & helpful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2010

We stayed in this hotel 2 years back and we came back because of the staff and manager were very helpful. When we came this time they have improved the rooms quality, service and cleanliness of the room. We really enjoyed staying here as it's very convenient location and very friendly staff and it's value for your money hotel.

“Not so good experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2010

We stayed in hotel Sophia as it was the only hotel available due to our last minute trip plans and it was not a good experience as the rooms are very small and congested. The rooms are furnished with a queen size bed which leaves hardly any space to move around. I would advice this hotel for tourists who are into hard core sight seeing and plan to spend very less time in the room. They should concentrate a bit on the hygiene of the rooms as they are not well kempt.

The hotel has some pluses for example, their buffet breakfast is very good and tasty. Also, the location is great. It is in walkable distance from the Paddington train station and also easilty connected to all the touriest attractions. The staff is very diligent.
