I enjoyed the Sophia hotel overall but a few things fell short. The staff was excellent. From the front desk to the staff on site. A special shout out to Belky. She's a gem at the hotel. The hotel is close proximity to everything in the walled city. Great rooftop area with amazing views. My biggest issue was the plumbing situation. Multiple times the shower did not get warm and took several calls down to maintenance to adjust. The toilet also didnt have adequate pressure to flush. Our room also had an odor during the stay. We saw a crew outside the hotel working on plumbing issues, which may have contributed to the problems. Overall an excellent property, but these issues were a slight negative on the trip.

We spent 5 nights at Sophia Hotel in the Haggia (Terrace) suite. The hotel itself is in a great location and walkable to all restaurants and attractions. In terms of noise levels, the hotel IS situated across a public square and there was a festival taking place the last few days of our stay. It did get loud at times but by 11pm the music/performances stopped. Same with the rooftop lounge. They'd play music during the day and evening, but by 10-11pm it was quiet. The only thing that could be improved is the furniture in the patio itself. They need to be replaced and the retractable shade was removed/missing. I desperately wish it wasn't as at times it was way too hot/sunny to be out on the patio. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. The staff are very friendly and our room was left spotless every day. We would consider this hotel again if we were to come back to Cartagena.
