We had a week at the Sofia with Olympic Holidays and have to say that it is a modern very clean and bright 2 star pension. The rooms were compact but quite large enough to be comfortable for a stay of that length. The furniture and fittings are of a decent standard but the balcony was somewhat tight to say... More

A clean, modern B&B place, a bit difficult to find (a side street off the western part of Plakias' main street), without private parking (no elevator either). Our room was rather on the smallish side, the shower stall was primitive, with a curtain that clings to the body when showering... Air-conditioning is extra (5 Euros/day), which is somewhat surprising considering... More

We had the pleasure of staying here for three days in August 2012. We arrived by KTEL bus from Rethymno to the main square and had a bit of trouble finding the hotel to begin with until a nice Greek lady asked us where we were headed and sent us off in the right direction. The problem was that we... More

Very very good! A clean and modern hotel in a very reasonable price. Good owners, nice breakfast, free wifi everywhere, internet corner, pool and a nice open place in the middle of the hotel. Very satisfied. Good for families, friends and couples. I would say it is a good quality-good price hotel.

Nice, clean family-runned hotel. Cretan hospitality offered by Kostas and his family. Very good location, 100m from the beach and restaurants and bars. We've seen the quality of the hotel been improved every year.

We spent 3 days in Plakias and stayed at Sofia Hotel! It's a small and beautiful B&B a little bit old building but recently renovated. It's located just 50 meters away from Plakias main beach! Saddly there is no parking space nearby, but you can park the car on the main street! Room size was small but very functional! If... More

This small family run hotel was a great pleasure to stay in. The room was small but very clean and well maintained. The balcony was comfortable. The breakfast was very satisfactory and could be taken in the pleasant courtyard. I did not find the hotel noisy in June despite having a balcony on the side nearest the road. The hotel's... More

We were planning to drive to Plakias for weekend, found Hotel Sofia via internet and made the reservation online. We wouldn't have expected more for a weekend! Our room was on the ground floor, not very big but nice, clean and well equipped. The view to the garden was lovely although there were about 20-25 cats into the next house's... More

Locatioon is ok, clean rooms. Glad we had room to the back garden, the front would have been rather noisy. A poor brakfast, could have improved with small things. An elevator would be nice. Not suitebal for disabled persons of that reason. The reseptionist should be able to use the creditcard machine. I don.t think we got what we paid... More
