This is excellent centrally located hotel. Room small but adequately sized for brief stay. particular attention to the cleanliness of the room and hotel in general. Information provided gives good guidance to amentities and shops in the local area. Closeness to transport and airport transporters make it particularly attractive. Whilst we did not need to visit Ethiad Stadium this visit... more

Management response from
james castan, director

Hotel Sophia advertises through its website and through all its booking channels that at check in we require to process a temporary $150 pre-authorisation on the guests credit card. The primary reasons for this are to ensure that people do not smoke in our rooms( we are strictly non-smoking) and to guarantee payment for incidentals such as bar/restaurant purchases made...

The meals at the very quiet and cosy Golden Age hotel were delicious and well... more

Having b'fast in the ground floor make-shift dining hall is a Russian-Roulette nightmare! The bread, butter, jam - are there for sure. But hot items? The night before, they'll say hot items will be available at xx-am. The next day, when you think you'll have hot items at the given time, whamm! An A4-size notice at the entrance will tell... more
