Pension Sofia

Beautiful gardens surrounding the property which you really didn’t find looking at any other hotels in the area.

Pension Sofia offers a truly delightful experience on Paros Island. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the most friendly and accommodating staff. The entire property is exceptionally clean and well-kept, and we especially loved spending time in the gorgeous garden. Its location is unbeatable too – just a 5-minute stroll from the port, which was incredibly convenient, and we had no shortage of excellent restaurants to choose from within easy reach. It's clear a lot of care goes into making guests feel welcome. Definitely a top pick!" These options now accurately reflect "Paros Island" and highlight the convenient 5-minute walk from the port and the proximity to good restaurants.

Great stay. Walkable to the port and to bus station to go to naoussa. Very friendly staff, very responsive.

I am conflicted about my stay here. On the plus side: very beautiful property. Very close to the Port of Parikia. Quiet and peaceful surroundings. Great price. Clean room. Loved the balcony. One the minus side: overall I found the customer service somewhat disorganized, poor, and lacking warmth. My sister had weird issues upon check-in: her reservation (the host showed no record of her reservation upon arrival?), the room size she paid for was not the room she got, and her room had no power at all when she checked in. We had to search for and flag down a man (presumably the host's husband?) in order to flip the breaker to get the power to come back on. There are no signs with information on how things in the room work (such as the power/light switch, the AC, and the shower, which were quite tricky - at least for me and the guest across the hall, too) and the hostess became quite hostile when she had to come to my room one night at 10pm to help me with the AC to get it to work. At that moment, I wanted to pack up and leave and go to another hotel. It seemed as if something was wrong (outside of the B&B) that was affecting her ability to be happy, warm, and welcoming with her guests. I also got the distinct feeling (from older reviews) that this accommodation used to be a lot more customer-friendly in their offerings (such as breakfast, and rides to/from the port, etc) and now, once you check in, you are basically on your own. I usually have such wonderful connections with my hosts, and this experience just left me feeling very flat, cold, and a bit sad. I avoided her as much as possible after the AC incident because I was so uncomfortable around her. In summary, with improvements to customer service, Pension Sofia could be such a heavenly place to stay. However, as it is, while I would go back to Paros in a heartbeat, I would definitely choose another accommodation for my stay. I have enjoyed so many amazing and kind hosts around the world (including other Greek islands), but this experience definitely fell short, and sadly, I would not recommend this accommodation experience for your stay in Paros.

Un havre de fraîcheur grâce à un jardin paradisiaque entretenu au quotidien. Un lieu reposant à deux pas des plages de Parikia et à dix minutes à pied du port et de la vieille ville très attrayante. Idéal pour un séjour dans cette île.

Bon accueil. La pension donne sur un très joli jardin bien entretenu. Situation idéale à proximité des quais du port avec ses restaurants et commerces. Notre chambre avait un balcon avec une petite table idéale pour prendre son café le matin. La chambre était confortable et bien équipée.

Pension de famille dans une jolie maison avec un jardin très bien entretenu a quelques pas de la mer. Très bon accueil en français. On se sent comme chez ses grands-parents ! Chaque chambre a sa terrasse. C'est très calme. La literie n'est pas aux dernières normes mais vu la prix il n'y a rien a redire. Pas de petit déjeuner mais plusieurs options dans le quartier.

Apres avoir passé une nuit dans un "hotel" digne du routard des annees 70 dont nous tairons le nom nous avons pu passer deux nuits a la pension Sofia.Tout simplement parfait. Une hôtesse charmante, une chambre très agréable et très confortable donnant sur le jardin, une literie confortable. Une propreté irréprochable. L adresse à ne pas manquer à Piriaki. ,
