The Hotel Sophia

Guests were happy with their stay. Quality ❣

The hotel welcomes you with its immense golden lobby and friendly front desk staff. The catch? It is an art gallery hotel. The paintings displayed are made by local artists of Isabela - Isabela Artist Circle. These masterpieces are actually for sale. If you're an aesthete who loves and appreciates works of art and beautiful things, there's no doubt you might bring home one. The hotel room is equipped with a keycard. If you love a room with a man-size comfy bed and glass wall, Sophia hotel won't disappoint you. And yes, I am delighted with the bathroom setup. The space is wide enough for you to enjoy your shower. I personally love big and spacious bathrooms. It is a safe space where I can be myself and hold my concert (typically as a bathroom singerist). Don't worry about sockets. I found five universal sockets in my room strategically installed around the corners. That's a plus to Sophia Hotel, perfect for people who work and travel. The room is furbished with wide cabinets. Hopefully, they'll upgrade with a hang rack on it. A room provided with WiFi, a Flat Screen TV with Netflix and a Hair blower installed in the bathroom, and a pair of disposable slippers. If you plan to book here, don't forget those Hawaiian tropical clothes in your closet. Believe me, your instagrammable weekend trip is worth it. The Sophia Hotel is definitely on my list. Whether you are in a group or love to go solo, the Sophia Hotel experience is a staycation you'll also recommend.

I was transferred from L05 to L14 (both are ground floor rooms) because the faucet in my first room kept on leaking. While L14 had a pool view, the hotel management allowed use of pool until late in the evening, with loud music. I was about to call the front desk to check what time the "pool party" would end, only to realize that the phone in my room was busted. The room had no ref, toiletries, and bath mat. There was also no double lock for security. By the way, the sliding doors leading to the pool had no functioning locks. Hence, my room was technically always open and accessible. The bed sheets appeared to have been recycled / unchanged since the blanket, bedsheets and pillows already had creases even before I used them.

Nice hotel which looks it had seen better times. Basic necessities missing in the room: no blanket , clogged sink, NO MIRROR IN THE BATHROOM, no glasses , no coffee making facilities. The hotel itself looks nice and it has a nice pool and open spaces. Pity the maintenance us so bad!
