Reviews for Hotel Sofoklis

Review 1：Breakfast is a little poor, without any hot dishes, but I asked for the hot milk and got it.

Review 2：Right on the beach. All great, especially for the price we paid. Extremely clean.

Review 3：It's bit difficult to find the place, especially at night, our GPS was totally confused and said the address is 10 km away from the beach, but if you ask local people its ok and it's really worth going ;) Maybe better if you search the route "Volos - Agios Ioannis" in advance on google maps and print it before your trip.

Review 4：Cosy calm and romantic place with warm greek atmosphere, nice rooms decorated in traditional colours, very friendly and helpful owner, rich breakfast with local ingredients, place is just next to the beach and is sorrounded by tavernas with fantastic food, great value for small budget, 100% :)

Review 5：There was nothing.

Review 6：We liked the bedroom, which had been furnished very tastefully. We enjoyed the balcony with the view over the sea and the small harbour. The bathroom was excellent in facilities and decor. The lounge was pleasantly decorated and the vine-covered breakfast terrace was a lovely spot to start the day. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Review 16：Everything was great.

Review 17：The location is perfect, close to the shops/taverns/bar and to Plaka beach which is one of the best. The hotel has been very recently renovated and they have done a very nice job. The room is very nice and the bathroom is just perfect. The mattress of the bed and the pillows are new and amazingly comfortable, in one word - awesome. The beds are big and really perfect. The WIFI signal was very good at the room and the internet was very quick. The cleaning staff was every day at the rooms and they were doing a great job. Finally the swimming pool is nice and there were not many people there. The owner and the staff are very kind, helpful and polite. I had a very nice stay at the hotel.

Review 18：staff, breakfast ingredients were extremely poor, staff did not change linen every day as they forgot. Worse than ever, parking was terrible. The hotel although they will tell you they help with parking, it is only lies. You will not have your parking space, a nightmare as the location extremely busy

Every single one of our request was dealt with very efficiently helping us relax and enjoy our holiday. Staff were very friendly and happy to accommodate my little girl's needs. Very clean room and communal space.

Review 26：We really enjoyed our stay so it is difficult to identify things we didn't like.

Review 40：Had to pay 6 euro for beds and umbrellas on the beach, Shower holder was broken, road gets noisy at back of hotel. Also no faculties to make a drink so will need to take a travel kettle when we go back there

Review 41：Clean towels daily, linen also changed often, very close to beach (outside of hotel and across the road), nice modern room, next to favorite restaurant

Review 42：Nothing other than the journey to the resort is somewhat interesting as the roads are on the side of Mount Pelion and therefore many, many, hairpin bends!

Review 43：Everything; the breakfast at the hotel was perfectly adequate for a weeks stay; the swimming pool (albeit small) was great for getting away from the beach for an afternoon, and the staff were extremely friendly, although they didn't speak great English, sign language worked well!

Review 70：Friendly people, verry nice hotel, main street is smal street, not much traffic. Good breackfast. Verry clean beach! Recommanded!

Review 71：The location of the hotel is just perfect, you practically can jump into the sea from your balcony. It is clean, quiet, but not boring, just perfect for all travelers. The staff is absolutely great, no matter who you run into. A place I and my friends come to with great pleasure many times a year.

Review 72：Only small details - there is no hotel parking but we always found a space very close to the hotel. The room was a bit too small and the beds were two separate beds so it was hard to cuddle :).

Review 73：Very nice family-run hotel with a pool. Great location right on the beach with an amazing seaview from the balcony. Very friendly staff, especially Catherine, the owners daugher-in-law, who speaks native English and did everything to make us happy. Good breakfast buffet.

Review 74：Rooms are a little bit small. That is about all that is not perfect.

Review 75：The staff was excellent and went out of their way to help in every way. They were really friendly as well. The rooms are a little bit small, but nice. The pool is an extra bonus if you are tired of walking on the rocky sand of the nearby beaches. There are many restaurants nearby and the wonderful town of Damouhari is also very near. The entire Pelion is very picturesque and definitely worth seeing.

Review 76：We liked EVERYTHING in this great, clean, friendly hotel with the best location. אין לנו אף לא מילה שלילית אחת על המלון הנהדר הזה, הכל היה 10 , אנו נחזור ונשהה כאן שוב.

Review 77：Hi; I have stayed with my wife at the hotel for 8 nights. To be frank, everything was GREAT !!!. The staff is VERY friendly, everything is SUPER clean, lovely breakfast, perfect location and excellent free WiFi available. The hotel is right in front of a beautiful beach, free beds, tables and sun umbrelas. On the same street a lot of Taverns with delicious Greek food for very reasonable prices. Very close to many attractions on the Pellion peninsula. Bottom line we highly recommend this wonderful hotel, I am sure we will be back and stay here again. Gidy and Shosh, Israel. מלון נפלא, מאד נקי, צוות מאד עוזר ומסביר פנים, ארוחת בוקר טובה, ממש על החוף עם מיטות שיזוף, כסאות ושימשיות בחינם. ברחוב עצמו הרבה טברנות עם אוכל מעולה ומחיר מאד הוגן. קרוב לכל האטרקציות בחצי האי פיליון והצוות ישמח לכוון אתכם אליהם. ציון 10 ,אנחנו לבטח נחזור לכאן ונשהה שוב במלון נפלא זה. שוש וגידי, גן-יבנה.

Review 78：It’s the new definition of heaven. Everything is amazing: location, staff hospitality, food (the best sweets ever), close to the sea (the hotel is just in front of the sea), close to the mountain, close to the nature …

Review 79：The hotel is very nice and comfortable!The owner Dimitri and his beautiful daughter Katherine are so fruendly and caring!Best location and fantastic sea.Every morning you can watch a beautiful sunrise from your room`s balcony.Just near the hotel there are several tavernas with very friendly local people and great food!Finally,everything was absolutely delighful!

Review 80：This is an excellent place to stay in Agios Ioannis, Pelion, Greece. There are not enough great things to say about this hotel and the staff there. It is right on one of the best beaches in the Pelion region. After visiting 17 beaches during our stay on both the western (Pagasetic Sea) and eastern (Aegean Sea) sides, I would rate this as the best beach by far!!

Review 81：The room with a great balcony which came with a very small bed which was housed in a timber frame which was way too big for the mattress. The shower screen was missing so every time we took a shower in an already very smaller bathroom, everything got wet including the toilet seat, the floor etc which made us feel very unclean. The owner did make a point of saying "it was not The Hilton" to which I replied, "You are certainly correct". This place has the potential to be the best place in town given its position, but attitude seems to be the problem here.

Review 82：The location was fantastic & the overall hotel was very good as well.

Review 83：- Sometimes poor wi-fi signal in the lounge - Sometimes strange hot water coming from the cold water tap

Review 84：- Helpful and friendly staff and knowledgeable of surroundings - Good taverns in the proximity (thanks to Kathrine's advice) : Xristos and Kyma - Fantastic landscape, overview of the sea

Review 85：Really enjoyed this little gem on the beach in Agious Ioannis Pelio. The staff were very helpfull and friendly, even patient when we checked out a wee late ;)

Review 86：the rooms were small with noise from the road on the back,the fridge was'nt cool enough and the tv antenna was'nt working properly,

Review 87：perfect location close to the beach and the center with friendly staff and clean rooms

Review 88：Absolutely nothing.

Review 89：The location is fabulous for those seeking peace and tranquility. The owner waited for us until 1.30 a.m. just to make sure everything is ok. The sea view rooms are clean and nice. They speak English there, make the best baklava in the world. A place we'll sure come to again.

Review 90：I would expect the sunbeds and umbrellas to be free for hotel guests.

Review 91：Very helpful and friendly owners/staff went out of their way to answer all our questions. The view from the rooms balconies were fantastic. Very nice beach and clean sea.

Review 92：In one word: Paradise. Everything was absolutely delightful! The owner Dimitri and his daughter in law Katherine are so lovely, caring and friendly hosts. The hotel offers the best location and the most gorgeous view on the sea with beautiful sunrises! Very clean and nice rooms with delicious breakfast served on a beautiful terrasse in front of the beach. Several good local tavernas just near the hotel with very friendly local people and great food! Finally, Sofokles is the perfect place to stay, to relax and enjoy the beach with possibilities of hiking to the surrounding villages.

Review 93：Nothing. I would go back if I had the chance.

Review 94：The owner and his family were very cordial. Our room had a gorgeous view. The place was very neat and clean. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. They have outdoor dining and a cafe bar.
