Since we visit Ohrid very offen,I was realy suprised with this smal but beautiful hotel.The servis is exellent(specialy-Zoran) and they realy do everything to pleased you.
If I go to Ohrid next weekend,I will stay there again.

Although it has been quite some time now since I stayed here (July 2006), I do recall what a nice overnight stay my friend and I had here. As others have stated, the hotel is in a central location in town, on a quaint and quiet square. The room we stayed in was fairly large by European standards and the bathroom fixtures and appointments were surprisingly modern and impressive. Check-in and out were both efficient, if somewhat unceremonious, but the staff were generally friendly and provided some recommendations when asked. I would recommend this hotel, not as a budget offering, but as a more sophisticated and "safe" option in a beautiful little city that more people should be looking into visiting.

The Sveti Sofia hotel is located in Ohrid's beautiful old town. Lake Ohrid is about a 2 minute walk from the hotel and the beautiful Tsar Samueil Fortress and St. Clement Church are very close as well. The rooms are comfortable and decorated in the old style of the hotel. I would definitely recomomend this hotel for anyone going to Ohrid.

Vila Sveti Sofia is a beautiful boutique hotel based in a traditional style house in the centre of the old town.

Having arrived a bit early we were treated to a complimentary drink on the little outside terrace while they finished getting our room ready. The staff on the front desk were welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our room (twin) was very spacious, although the furniture strangely modern in comparison with some of the more traditional decor in the rest of the hotel, the bathroom was lovely and had a high-tech shower (that took a bit of working out!). There was also complimentary fresh fruit in the room which was a nice touch.

The location couldn't be better, right in the middle of the old town but away from the clutch of popular bars that line the water front, so noise was never a problem. We didn't eat at the hotel in the evening as we'd opted for one of the restaurants round the corner with a big outside terrace, but breakfast was good and served in the morning sunshine under the umbrellas outside the hotel.

Based on the service, decor and quality some serious thought has obviously gone into this hotel, offering visitors to Ohrid something different from the larger holiday resort style hotels further round the lake. An absolute gem.
