Didn’t quite understand the lay of the land when I booked. It’s kind of a hostel but with private rooms. The rooms are TINY with no windows. Squished a bed in there but not much else. Only one light for the whole place so either bright or blackout. Not much privacy in the bathroom so if you weren’t familiar with your travel partner before then you will be afterwards! That being said, for the price (in comparison to other options) we’d stay again.

Good location. Staff were really friendly and good bar area. Rooms were clean. Social hour was fun. Pretty good value for central Dallas.

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, centric location

The windowless rooms weren’t really for me, wouldn’t do it again after having tried it. But if you don’t mind that it’s really ok and a little bit less expensive than most other options in the area

Good bed, great location, nice people, easy to walk everywhere

The location is very good, at walckable distance from the downtown. The room is tight, but very clean and the bed is comfortable. No natural light, and there is 1 interreptor for the light of the room and bathroom.

Very little - Lack of coffee machine . Only one side of bed accessible as up against the glass divider.

Warm welcome from Andrea, great info and made me aware of everything I needed to know .

This review is hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

The shower tiles covering the drain were broken and loose and due to no shower curtain. Lots of rules with financial penalties if broken. One of them being a financial penalty if towels were stained with makeup, but then I had a towel which was clearly previously stained with mascara😂 would have appreciated a coin washer/dryer

I booked this property last minute when I had to leave previous accommodation. The receptionists were lovely on each interaction. It was clean and the bed was super comfy.

Ease of checkin and very cool vibes

The fact that there is no partition between the shower and the toilet was a bit weird. Water sprayed all over the floor as a result. Walls are a bit thin, so you may hear people talking and entering their room. No table/desk in room.

Close to downtown and deep ellum, though you need to cross a highway to get to deep ellum. Access to public transportation. The lobby/lounge was very nice. Room facilities are nice, especially the bidet.

It was a small room without windows, but we knew this when we booked our stay. Would have liked some fresh air, but this isnt a room you stay inside of all day, keep that in mind. Also, there is only one light in the room meaning you have to get up to turn on/off thr light.

We enjoyed our stay at SOVA. We had a warm welcome when we arrived late at night. Also quite surprised with the Japanese style toilet, that was a fun bonus. We enjoyed the 20 min walk to downtown, but can imagine it's not for everyone.

I think it needs a card key lock on the front door on Commerce. My wife says she saw a homeless lad walk in, presumably to use a bathroom and didn’t come back out. Did she sleep somewhere in the hotel? That was odd.

Great location, small but cozy and clean rooms. I love the wet room style bathrooms, no need to worry about getting floors wet.

Very sparse. Not even a cup for water. One light switch, no lamp. No USB outlet anywhere. I don't mind a small room if it's functional. This wasn't.

The bed was confortable.

Because there's no division between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, it is tricky to keep it nice and tidy. Adding a $5 squeegee to every room could help a lot.

SOVA is located in the East Quarter, close to downtown Dallas, Deep Ellum and most importantly to Dallas Farmer's Market. In the later, there are various options for breakfast/lunch/dinner. The staff made our stay even more enjoyable. Everybody was very kind and helpful. The standard rooms are small, but comfortable. The experience comparable with staying at a cruise ship state room.

Nothing it was just great.

Great location and helpful staff. Helped me my first use of uber to get me to the airport. A great bar and clean room. Mine had no window but a don't mind that. Great price compared to others in the area.

There is only the one main light in the room so it’s either very bright or completely dark. There should be a smaller side light, it’s a simple fix and would improve the ambience of the room a lot. Do better!

Great location, can walk to the highlights of the city and public transport spots. The room is well thought out

City parking in the opposite has a weird parking time limits. I was not able to buy parking for a full 24 hours. So I booked it two times and paid double for parking. Later learnt the hotel provides a way to pay once.

Small and cozy in the prime spot for a good value for money

The hotel is well situated, quiet and has all the necessary facilities. Clean and comfortable. Everything was so easy. Would recommend if you need an affordable place to stay.

I was wishing there was a kitchen that I could order dinner to be delivered to my room, but there isn't so Uber Eats works just as well.

What I liked about the SOVA was the cleanliness, quietness, and the quaint modern micro rooms

Stayed in March 2024

The hallway and some other guests were noisy, but that is not the hotels fault. There were some mechanical issues with the AC, the fan was loud. It was reported to the staff, so should be fixed if you stay. My constant complaint about hotel rooms, there are LEDs on the network box, fire alarm and light under the door. It you need a dark room to sleep, you'll have to cover things up and put a towel over the bottom of the door.

The room is good, micro is an accurate description. While there is no food served, you are downtown and there are good options all around. The staff was great and helped get parking paid for across the street.

Low water pressure on a sink, but I understand it’s for water conservation

All modern within a unique pre-modern war era building area .

Little noisy during the night

Good price for the location. Clean

The shower leaked into the regular restroom no matter how I showered I used my towels to dry the floor off after I was done

Comfortable bed and clean bathroom 10/10

The sound proofing is non existent. Wasn’t an issue with ear plugs in but might have been otherwise.

Yes it’s small, but it’s also a fraction of the price of everything else in the area. Perfectly good for an overnight. The building is cool and the rooms were clean. Fancy Japanese toilets too!

Do not care for "open" showers without door/curtain. Floor gets more water than mat can handle and slick in bare feet

Friendly and helpful staff. Didn't feel lost in oversized hotel. Good vibes and quiet, restful.
