I went with my friends. I read the reviews and i thought it should be fine. When we arrived, the staff was quite rude, and since i found that quite suspect. So i asked for a key to check our room. He gave me a key to another room, but since it was closer i accepted. I will be sincere. It was clean. And thats all. The overall aspect was so depressing. I went to old communist hotels that looked better, more modern and overall nicer. Plus the attitude of the staff. In the first picture are the carpets from the hallway...they might be renovating...i can't tell for sure. Anyway, i gave back the keys telling we will not be staing, the moment we left, the receptionst started filming us. So i start to belive that all the good reviews might be what we all call as FAKE NEWS, and they might even had special interests...

The wall to wall carpet looked like someone was murdered on it and had cig burns. It was like a cheap communist hotel from the 80s. Also it is right next to a busy road and you can hear traffic noise all day and night. the only bonus is that it is cheap. DO NOT GO THERE if you value quality and a good night sleep. Ps: the light fixture had dead...

The Pension Sofie is on par with an old school Motel 6, (if you are old enough to know what that means). Clean and efficient when all you need is a place to lay your head. The beds were pretty hard (and that doesn't mean firm). ||It works, it's clean, it is priced too high for the quality of the rooms....
