We stayed here for 3 days before a cruise. It was perfect. We walked everywhere. Little far from the Vatican, but still walking distance for an active family. The hotel was beautiful, breakfast was awesome, and the staff was great. If we visit Rome again, we will definitely stay there again.

We stayed at the Hotel Sonya on our second trip to Rome for a few days precruise. We loved the Opera Theater area, as it is so close to all transportation and surrounding shops and restaurants are very reasonable. Our room was lovely and updated with nice bath. The breakfast was very nice, and the staff was always pleasant and helpful. Free wifi as well. So much better than staying in the crowded, over touristy hotels near Vatican City or Trevi Fountain, Coliseum, etc. You just can't go wrong.

We spent our last night in Rome here and wished our other Rome accommodation was as nice as this. We stayed on the newly renovated 5th floor and it was great. Nicely furnished, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms. Staff was so nice and the WiFi worked great. This hotel is on the Coliseum side of Rome and close to the train station. Would stay there again.

My husband and I visited Rome, Florence, and Santa Margherita. This was by far the best hotel. Excellent beds! The rest of the beds in other hotels were too hard. The ones at Hotel Sonya are supportive, but soft. The wait staff is so helpful! Ivan was amazing!!! He made reservations on trains for us and gave us tons of great advice. Every other staff member was attentive, cheerful, and really made you feel like they cared. The breakfast is awesome! I don't know where they found their chef and staff, but I think they are way underpaid. I loved the vintage elevator and marble stairs too. This hotel gives you plenty of towels and anything else you need. We stayed in the upgraded room the last night. It was better than the 4 star hotel in Santa Magherita in every way! It is located close to the train station so it's very convenient. There are good restaurants close to the hotel too. One economical pizzeria was recommended by Jolle, another staff member. It was wonderful. For the money, this is your hotel!
