Hi, we stayed at the Sofala in the beginning of June 2013, The hotel is a very nice design, its welcoming and its posh looking , rooms are very nice including the bathrooms that have lovely rainfall showers, however the good part stops there. The service for drinks and food is far too slow despite us witnessing regular staff training... More

My wife and I stayed at Sofala in May 2013. We had booked the standard room and although the room itself was nice, the balcony was boarded up. We spoke to the front desk manager (Savio, very helpful and friendly chap) and he immediately upgraded us to the Suite (at no charge, as we later discovered). Room: The room (Suite)... More

“Excellent Boutique Property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2013

This is a lovely hotel that's like a house! Beautiful, old world charm, four poster beds & very warm and friendly staff. It may not be for the "resort-bound" variety of travelers but if you're looking for a place with character, charm & close to the buzz of Baga/Calangute then it's an ideal retreat. The staff are very helpful and... More
