Hotel Sonia

Really bad. The room was dirty and smelled of sewage throughout. I absolutely wouldn’t recommend staying here.

The bathroom was the biggest problem for us. Water flooded it whenever we showered and even leaked into the room. Reception said they already knew about the issue, and all they offered was extra towels to mop up the floor. The room itself wasn’t very clean either, and the window looked out onto an unappealing rooftop. The hotel is also far from the main attractions and central areas, so getting around was difficult. A very disappointing stay, and I don’t recommend it.

The room looked modern, but wasn’t practical. There was no shower curtain or screen, so water got over half the bathroom, and without a shelf I had to leave my soap on the floor. We also had no hot water, though maybe your stay will be different. The air conditioning was there, but only worked while I was in the room and wouldn’t go below 21°C. The receptionist was rude, too. Parking costs 30 euro a night, though I’d suggest using the free parking across the street.

The highway is right next door, so it’s never quiet. The wifi and TV didn’t work, the walls were dirty, and the toilet seat was broken. Staff didn’t understand when I asked about it and wouldn’t replace it. The door wouldn’t close and lock properly unless I shoved my shoulder into it or slammed it until it clicked. I booked this place because it was close to where I’d be working. My colleague and I are paying almost triple the room rate, around 130 instead of the €57 shown online. Breakfast is €30 charged to the room, and dinner at the buffet costs another €30 each night. Dinner was a little better, but every piece of chicken and fish was dry. The breakfast was awful too. Even the hard boiled egg tasted like it had come straight from a refrigerator, and the sausage was spam sausage. You have to reserve by phone, and it’s non-refundable. So once you’ve booked, you either lose the money or, like me, try to explain why you’re changing hotels halfway through a reservation. I wish I could get a refund. Honestly, there’s more I could say, and the longer I think about this place, the more pissed off I get. DO NOT STAY HERE!
