Hotel Sofia in Nikiana, Lefkada has by far exceeded my expectations. Although it only has 2 stars, I believe it deserves 3 stars because of the amenities provided. The room was very clean and comfortable (it has a fridge, hair dryer, balcony, comfortable bed, TV and free wifi). The staff is very kind, polite and nice. They gave me all the information I needed. This hotel is very good value for the price paid. I will definitely come back next year!! The photos are of the view from the balcony

It's clean, the room is clean the bathroom is clean, the building is beautiful, and the view, well not the best, we did have a really nice view of the mountain but we would've liked to see the sea as a view. The "staff" only three people are mr. Giorgio, the comedian, the best black humour!!! His wife, excellent, friendly woman!! And the cleaner, she's not that friendly... The food, is OK but the coffee was TERRIBLE! I'm talking about French Coffee. Another thing that bothered me is that the beach is far away from the hotel, you need a car to go there, it's about half a kilometre away, the beach should be RIGHT next to the hotel. Overall, this is a normal hotel, not the best though...

Upon checking in, the receptionist demanded from us, as its hotel policy that we pay €31 for any damages to the room, which will be refunded upon checking out. When checking out, the hotel owner refunded us back €20. When questioned he stated that the €11 was for the tax. Although booked the hotel via Expedia and all taxes are included in the booking price, it’s the principle of being mugged off, not that €11 will scratch by bank balance. The buffet breakfast is basic/average. Parking spaces are limited at the front of the hotel. The rooms do not offer your basic tea/coffee/sugar sachets. The shower facility in the room is so tinny, and the shower curtain is inadequate. After a squeezable shower, the bathroom becomes a swimming pool. But on a positive side the staff and hotel owner are very helpful and friendly!

Terrible experience, breakfast almost non-existent if you arrive at 9 risk skipping it. WiFi in the rooms is non-existent, my daughter's bed was almost 15cm shorter than ours. During my stay while resting the bed broke, I go to the reception Cris sale to check asking delanager intervention of the structure, went up to check I am proposed to sleep with the mattress on the floor. Incredulous of the proposal I refuse and the manager (arms taken from agriculture) begins to send against me the Greek language not leaving me reply and accusing me of having broken the bed. Since my 12-year-old daughter was beginning to get anxious I went away, after that a cot emerged nothing short of scandalous where I spent the night. The next morning we left the structure on Recommendation of the tour operator as even they were not able to establish a dialogue. So I do not Recommendation to anyone this structure which is simply a Studio but with the hotel formula. Sleep in your car and not at Hotel Sofia.

The rooms are very clean, the view is breathtaking and the staff very helpful. In addition, the rooms are equipped with kitchen and utensils, so staying in and cooking is an option as well. The breakfast is average, we believe it could have a wider range of options. The location is very convenient. Since it is located on the main road, all other villages and beaches are easily accessible. Overall, it's a very good hotel and it's worth staying there.

Very clean, comfortable hotel. The city of Lefkas and Nidri were like 10 and 5 min drive respectively. We booked a 2ble sea view room, and the view was stunning! The room was quite spacious and very clean. Tasty breakfast with a great variety of choises. The garden with the various flowers creates a relaxing atmosphere and it is ideal for a coffee in the afternoon or a cold beer. The bar prices were low-cost. The stuff at the reception desk was friendly and extremely helpful. They met every demand and request we had and proposed us many different places to visit. Overall, a friendly, clean hotel. Strongly recommended.

A big group of friends went on a trip to Lefkada and fell in love with the Island. Sofia's House has big 1 room apartments with clean bathrooms and a kitchenette. The balcony is great especially if you stay in the rooms facing the sea. Sofia is a great lady, hardworking and pleasant with all her visitors. She is funny and learns immediately all the names of all the visitors, and after that she treats them like family.

A very pretty hotel with rooms that are very clean and well-appointed. The scents of magnolia and jasmine are everywhere. The hotel is surrounded by flowers, trees and plants. The reception area is easily accessible with parking right up front. The stairs to the rooms are easy to climb and very safe. The beds are comfy and the sheets are crisp white. Breakfast is included, but if you don't like eating carbs in the morning, then selection is limited. If you don't get a sea view, no worries; the back-rooms have a mountain view and the balconies are a good size. Overall, a brief but lovely stay.

Located in a convenient (in terms of reaching major Leukada towns of Leukada and Nidri) place, this family operated hotel delivers exactly what it promishes: Sterility level cleanlines, polite with a good sense of houmor personeland very nice view over Leukadas eastern sea front. Spacious rooms expanding on three independent levels commonly furnished, equiped with mini kitchen will meet most families-on-vacation requirments. Not at the beach, and no beach in walking distance. Less than ten minutes driving away from descent swimming areas. Fair breakfast, nice verantas, somewhat difficult parking on the island main street when hotel is full. And , for the end, be prepared for real training if you stay on third level.. 53 ruthless stairsteps will lead you ready to fall apart on your bed, since there is no elevator
