- DARIO (10/5): -
- Maurizio (10/5): -
- Craig (7/5): it was fine - Good location and the basics wwere covered For the money do not expect any frills
- Marina (8/5): -
- Stevien (10/5): - Ik kreeg een gratis upgrade waardoor ik in de suite belande.
De communicatie met het hotel was perfect (ik had een late check in maar dat was geen probleem, er werd zeer duidelijk uitgelegd hoe ik aan sleutel kwam)
De ligging in het centrum In het gebouw zelf was het even zoeken waar het hotel zat.
- Marion (6/5): - L'emplacement de l'hôtel est parfait et le personnel très serviable j'avais une chambre qui donnait sur la rue principale, très bruyante, je ne pouvais pas ouvrir la fenêtre.
Je ne sais pas si la douche a été bien nettoyée, car un petit morceau de papier est resté pendant tout le séjour
- Beata (10/5): - Hotel jest polozony w centrum, wszędzie blisko😊Bardzo miła obsluga, pomocna, z niczym nie bylo problemu😊mozna zejsc na doledobre sniadano w bardzo milej kawiarence.... pokój czysty i wszystko bylo jak najbardziej w porządku....mały balkonik, który dawał widok na Etne na końcu ulicy...wszystko bylo dobrze, polecam to miejsce 😊
- Maria (3/5): - La posizione centrale e la disponibilità del personale La stanza era rumorosa, il letto scomodo e in bagno c'era cattivo odore.
Il parcheggio convenzionato è gestito da persone maleducate e poco trasparenti.
- Bogulawa (10/5): -
- Diana (10/5): -
- HERMAN (5/5): - ubicacion no es un hotel es un apartamento y no me alojaron en el hotel sofia sino otro al frente, no tiene servicios hoteleros sino de pequeñas suites
- JANILSON E (9/5): Ótimo custo benefício - Localização e espaço nos quartos.
- Dr. Damian (10/5): Sehr gute Lage. Soogar beste Lage. Preis Leistung TOP! - Ich hab genau das bekommen, was ich bestellt habe. Ich war sehr glueklich, dass ich ein Zimmer im Innenhof bekommen habe, somit war kein Thema mit Laerm. Es gab kein Laern, es war ruhig.
Das Hotel kann ich nur empfehlen. Der Chef ist auch ok, ganz netter Tuep
- Eirini (9/5): Καλή value for money επιλογή - Ευγενικό προσωπικό, άνετο δωμάτιο, και σε πολύ βολικό σημείο. Όλα καλά!
- JANILSON E (9/5): Bm custo benefício - Limpeza e instalações
- Isabel (8/5): Bien situado - La ubicación es muy buena. En plena vía Etnea, perfecta para turismo. No es culpa del alojamiento, pero por las noches, al no haber nadie en recepción, muchos huéspedes hacen ruido, entran de madrugada haciendo jaleo… y te despiertan. Sé que no es culpa del alojamiento, pero tendrían que encontrar alguna manera de controlar eso.
- Paolo (6/5): - Personale gentile e disponibile, stanze ampie e pulite Hotel Sofia totalmente da ristrutturare (eccetto il bagno). Hotel Costanza, di fronte, stesso piano, parzialmente ristrutturato ma con evidenti difetti
- Angela (10/5): -
- fabbri (8/5): -
- Ildikó (8/5): 2-3 éjszakára tökéletes - Az elhelyezkedés tökéletes és a személyzet nagyon kedves. Egy felújítás már ráférne. Kissé koszos falak és nem igazán barátságos berendezés

- Gabriella (7/5): - Jó lokáció, kilátás az Etnára az erkélyről. Kedves, rugalmas személyzet, komfortos szoba, biztonságos környezet. Napi szintű szobai takarítás. Az utca fronti szoba túlságosan zajos volt nekünk éjszaka a szirénák és munkagépek miatt.

- LIUDMILA (8/5): - Hotelul este amplasat chiar in centrul ,pe o strada pietonala, nu se poate ajunge cu mașina ,dar cu autobuzul este perfect, locație buna pentru cei singuri , ai siguranța, poți face plimbări, sunt magazine,baruri,aproape de obiective turistice .

Too much noise from other rooms especially when opening doors. However staff member was very nice and polite.

- Victor (7/5): - The location was perfect It was good imo
- Victor (8/5): - The location is perfect. It was good
- Alessandra (9/5): Soggiorno molto confortevole - La posizione dell'hotel è assolutamente perfetta, in pieno centro e vicino a tutti i maggiori monumenti. La Via Etnea è molto bella e piena di vita e negozi.
Il personale dell'hotel è molto gentile, disponibile e professionale. La stanza era molto confortevole e spaziosa. Il bagno era molto spazioso. L'unico appunto che posso fare è relativo alla doccia e all'acqua in generale. Quando si apriva l'acqua si sentiva un rumore forte, dovuto probabilmente al sifone e alla pressione dell'acqua. Ad ogni modo, il problema non era così fastidioso da spingerci a lamentarci con il personale dell'hotel. Ci siamo adattati senza problemi.
