Bottom Line

Sofia Village is a two-pearl property that's a 10-minute walk from Mykonos Town. It has a lively atmosphere with music playing by the pool throughout the day, making it an ideal choice for party-loving groups or couples. Buildings are authentically Greek, with whitewashed walls and blue shutters, while decor blends traditional and modern elements. All 30 rooms are clean, basic, and a bit dated, with modern amenities like air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. All rooms have seated balconies or terraces, some with sea views. The hotel has a small outdoor pool with a poolside cocktail bar, though there is no on-site restaurant or breakfast service. Travelers looking for a quieter hotel should consider the nearby Adonis Hotel, which is just a two-minute walk from Megali Ammos Beach.

Oyster Hotel Review

Sofia Village

Scene

Small, no-frills hotel with a lively atmosphere 

Located on top of a hill, Sofia Village has some lovely views of the Aegean Sea and neighboring islands. Exteriors are authentically Greek, with whitewashed walls, bright blue painted shutters, terra-cotta vases, and vine-laced wooden awnings. Inside, it's all a bit more humble. Modern and traditional elements are blended in the cozy lobby, with silver tables and chairs and original arched doorways leading to the lively outdoor pool area. The pool is lined with reclining blue padded sun loungers and wooden-slatted umbrellas, making it a popular spot for tanning. The poolside bar plays music throughout the day, creating a fun, party vibe. The hotel mostly attracts groups, couples, and solo travelers who are visiting Mykonos for the nightlife, making it unsuitable for families with young children and those looking for peace and quiet.

Location

On a steep hill overlooking Mykonos Town, just a 10-minute walk from the center

Conveniently located in the Fine Arts School area of Mykonos, Sofia Village is just a 10-minute walk from the city center. Known for its lively nightlife, the town is home to plenty of bars, restaurants, and entertainment hotspots. It's also home to many historic attractions, such as the Aegean Maritime Museum, Paraportiani Church, and the Windmills of Mykonos. The steep hill is a big downside though, making the walk back from town potentially challenging, especially for those with mobility issues. There isn't much activity in the immediate area, though there are a few shops and supermarkets, as well as a restaurant serving an a la carte breakfast, nearby. Megali Ammos Beach is the closest beach to hotel, but will take 15 minutes to reach on foot. A bus stop is located just outside the hotel, which goes to many of the island's most popular beaches, including Megali Ammos. The airport and port are around a five-minute drive from the hotel.

Rooms

Basic rooms, varying in size and style, with air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs

All 30 guest rooms are clean, comfortable and simply decorated, though style varies from room to room. Some have a slightly modern finish with contemporary photographs adorning the walls, though in general, things are looking a bit dated, with details like mustard yellow bedspreads, silk flowers, and '90s-era patterns. All rooms have seated balconies or terraces, offering lovely sea, pool, or garden views. They come with modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, safes, phones, and mini-fridges. Furniture is minimal, with double or single beds, wardrobes, dressers, and bedside tables, though some larger rooms have additional kitchenettes and separate living spaces. Bathrooms are small and vary in style too. Upgraded bathrooms have walk-in showers with modern fittings, while older bathrooms are undeniably tired. Sinks and mirrors are located in the main room as opposed to the bathroom in some rooms. Basic toiletries and hairdryers are provided. It's worth noting that poolside rooms can be noisy due to music from the bar, but the rest of the hotel is quiet.

Features

Outdoor pool, poolside cocktail bar, and free Wi-Fi

Features are quite limited at this hotel, even for its category. Sofia Village is centered around a small outdoor pool with lovely views of the bay and neighboring islands, surrounded by blue padded sun loungers, wooden umbrellas, and shaded and sunny seating areas. There's a small bar next to the pool, serving a variety of drinks. The bar plays music to sunbathe by during the day, and sports games are shown on the TV. The hotel offers a free transfer service to and from the airport and port, free on-site parking, and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. Car and bike rentals can be arranged at the front desk.
