We stayed at several hotels throughout Israel and Sofia was by far the best. It was clean, updated, and beautiful. The staff was very hospitable and kind and I only wish we had stayed there longer.

I would prefer a refund. The location of the hotel is great however despite website saying 3pm check they didnt have room ready until about 7pm. Upon entry to room there was urine in toilet. About half past 8pm a random man entered my room despite me having the door locked. It appeared tl hBe luggage so still not sure if my room was assigned to another guest as well. The view was beautiful and the breakfast was great.

Beautiful space, staff needs help.
Beautiful space,very modern, lovely lobby, public spaces and rooms.however most of the staff were rude, unprofessional, and unhelpful. The front desk staff were fine, however the people at the pool were the most unprofessional hotel staff I have ever encountered. The life guard was either on his phone or walking around. The food staff did not even acknowledge questions in English. Towels were few and far between . Also the pool area was very crowded with small children running around. Definitely not a relaxing experience. The hotel seems to have a laundry issue Towels were collected but not refreshed.issue-

Great new hotel, great views; some run-in issues
The hotel is new and undergoing it’s ‘run in’ period, so expect a few teething issues. With only one staff member on check in, it took 30 minutes due to computer issues. However, the staff member was lovely and very apologetic. The room was clean, spacious and with great amenities. The aircon took a few minutes to come on, so initially we thought it was broken and called Reception. Staff came promptly but the aircon had started by then. Some of the lighting switches did not work, a problem experienced by a friend in another room, so connections need to be checked. The rooftop brasserie is awesome, with a fantastic view over Lake Kinnaret, friendly staff and a good, limited selection of food. We didn’t try the restaurant for dinner but breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of food. The hotel is Kosher.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The room was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—close to major attractions yet peaceful enough for a relaxing retreat. The amenities, including the pool, fitness center, and dining options, exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety of fresh options. Overall, a fantastic stay with exceptional service. I will definitely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and hassle-free experience!

Bom hotel sem boa alimentação
Hotel novo e confortável! Minha ressalva foi quanto ao restaurante que tinha disponível no hotel. O serviço era de buffet, não tinha outra opção. A comida não era agradável e não podíamos pedir a la carte.
