“East-european in mostly good (and some bad) ways”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

This hotel is good value for money, basically. The surrounding area Vinohradsky is quiet and very nice. If you walk, it takes 10-15 minutes into the center of Prague from the hotel, but there is also both a metro station and tram stop very close in the Namesti square.

The room we had was spotlessly clean, more spacious than other double rooms you normally encounter abroad and, considering it being on the top floor with only one skylight window, not as dark as one could have suspected. So the room itself is recommended...IF YOU'RE NOT HANDICAPPED OR ELDERLY! Because the hotel has no lift of any kind, you have to use stairs to every floor. But that was okay with us.
The staff was okay we guess, more or less.

The breakfast served was basic, but not bad all in all considering that it's included in the price of the room. However, the room it was served in had an ambience of something from the old soviet era, brightly lit with merciless fluorescent lighting and some very basic furniture.
But all in all, we recommend this hotel. Mostly because it's clean and that the surrounding area is very pleasant. We do have slight reservations, but at the price it's very good value for money.

“Never use this hotel again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2011

I made reservation of double room Prepaid/Non Refundable in this hotel, but when I came - they say that they have no room for me! and also cannot not return money! Stupid and awful situation!! And so, I should move to another hotel of their community in the other part of the city. It makes me a lot of inconveniences since my staying was rather short (2-3 days) and was planned in great extent taking into account the hotel location. Never use this hotel again!!!

“Hotel Sofia- Prague”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We have just returned from our trip to Prague where we stayed at Hotel Sofia. We picked this hotel due to its location and price. The hotel was easy to find and reach, with the excellent public transport in Prague. The hotel is about a 3 – 5 minute walk from the metro station Namesti Miru, which took about 5 minutes to get in to town, if you wanted to walk it would only take about 20 minutes. The hotel surroundings were quite calm and there were no distractions from traffic.

Our first impression of the hotel was not great, the entrance is quite dated and you are welcomed with a stale smell of smoke. Our room was on the top floor, with NO lift/elevator we had to climb 4 flights of stairs. With this in mind we wondered what the rooms would be like, luckily we were surprised. The room was spacious, big enough for all three of us, the beds were hard but we did not have trouble sleeping. The bathroom was clean and we were provided with clean towel that could be changes when we needed and the room was cleaned everyday. The breakfast was basic nothing to get excited but it was edible and plenty for all.

Would I stay here again? Yes

“We really liked the hotel: good location, clean rooms & friendly staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2009

This was our second trip to Prague, and we liked this hotel much more than one we had on our first trip. Location of the hotel is very good- it is located some 500m from the Namesti Miru metro station (green line). and tram stops so moving around Prague was very easy.

Room was quite small, but when you spend practically whole day on the move, who needs a large room anyway. Hotel surroundings were quite calm and there were no distractions eg.from car traffic. We had separate bathroom and toilet, worked out fine. Those were kept clean.

Hotel staff was friendly, they helped us to find routes for ferries as those were only available in czech language. Breakfast was ok, nothing special but all the basics were available (+fruits and yoghurt).

Good value for money!
