Terrible experience do not stay here
I strongly advise against booking this hotel. On my first night, I found three cockroaches in my room. I went straight to the front desk to report it, and their response was unacceptable: “We don’t have any other rooms available.”
So I was forced to sleep in a room with cockroaches.
On top of that, I was staying on the fifth floor, and because there’s a rooftop pool, there were visible signs of water infiltration in my room clearly a serious maintenance issue.
Thankfully, I contacted Expedia immediately, and their team took the situation seriously. They tried to call the hotel (which didn’t even answer) and then took action right away to move me to a different hotel, which was much better in every way.

Avoid this place. You deserve better.
Our condo unit was clean and comfortable, the locationwas a perfect diatance to 5th ave and to the ADO station. Lots of restaurant options within a 5 minute walk.

Extremely noisy and unhelpful staff
My stay was disappointing. The room was extremely noisy, and when I asked to change rooms, I was told there were none available — which clearly wasn’t true. The microwave was unusable because it was missing the base, and there was no coffee machine or cups in the room when I checked in. I had to specifically ask for one. The staff seemed indifferent and unwilling to help. Even a simple request to check out an hour later was met with “impossible.” Overall, I would not recommend this place for more than 2–3 days.
Usually Sofia is five stars. I have stayed here many times with no troubles. However, on this trip the safe didn’t work. We were there for nine days. It was never fixed. In addition, there was no hot water. When we looked, the hot water heater had been removed for maintenance. Who needs a safe or hot water.
