Stayed for two weeks and had a great time. Parking for hotel very short walk away. Friendly staff and easy check in. Stayed in room 209, this has a sea view, not a massive room but adequate space for clothing etc, room has air con a small bathroom with adequate shower . small but sufficient balcony with view of bay. there is a safe, TV, kettle small fridge in room. Buffet breakfast with plenty of choice, inside and outside seating for breakfast, room cleaned daily and towels and bed linen changed every 3 days, pool towels available on request. Supermarket directly across the road for anything you may need. 1 minute walk into town. if need pool you can use one from another hotel (Costas and chrysoulas) literally 5 mins walk away. outside hours emergency contact number available, this was used due to issue with main door being locked and owner was back onsite in 5 minutes to resolve issue. our third visit to Plakias and this was by far the most enjoyable, it was that good that rebooked for next year whilst staying there. would definitely recommend this hotel we had a wonderful and relaxing time at Sofia Hotel many thanks to all the staff and see you next year, looking forward to much of the same :-)

Our favourite hotel in Plakias- if not Greece! A warm welcome is always assured and this family run hotel ticks all the boxes for us. Everyone works hard to make sure everything is maintained to the highest possible standard. Rooms are simple but well decorated and equipped; each has a balcony, air conditioning and a safety deposit box. The beds are super comfy and the whole hotel is immaculately clean. Breakfast, this time, was even better than we remembered with a fabulous selection of hot and cold food- including Cretan specialities ( Cheese, pastries and dakos) great bread and a selection of fresh fruit. The new coffee machine is an excellent addition and offers a choice of coffee. We couldn’t ask for any more. A special mention to the young woman who cleans the hotel, she works so hard and does a brilliant job. Thank you!
