I stayed in an economy room at the sophia hotel and i have to say i was very impressed. I am a budget traveller and for the price i did not expect very much. I have paid more at other budget hotels and received a lot less. The best thing about this hotel is that it is new and the... more

Hotel Sophia advertises through its website and through all its booking channels that at check in we require to process a temporary $150 pre-authorisation on the guests credit card. The primary reasons for this are to ensure that people do not smoke in our rooms( we are strictly non-smoking) and to guarantee payment for incidentals such as bar/restaurant purchases made...

We booked into Hotel Sophia on a recommendation. We were pleasantly surprised at the value for money. The breakfast was extensive with hot and cold choices. The rooms were clean and comfortable but small. The staff were courteous and helpful. Internet connection easy and affordable. The meals at the very quiet and cosy Golden Age hotel were delicious and well... more

Having b'fast in the ground floor make-shift dining hall is a Russian-Roulette nightmare! The bread, butter, jam - are there for sure. But hot items? The night before, they'll say hot items will be available at xx-am. The next day, when you think you'll have hot items at the given time, whamm! An A4-size notice at the entrance will tell... more

We stayed here for one night in a standard room - paid just $99 for the night which included a cooked buffet breakfast. We arrived at the hotel about 9.30am in the hope our room may not be ready - we were told by the very friendly Reception that it would be ready in about 30 mins (which we were... more

This Hotel is very clean and quite new. The rooms are on three levels with elevator access. Each is well appointed with basic needs. Some are much smaller than others and the main negative is that the rooms facing King St are subject to a lot of traffic noise from very early in the morning so ear plugs are a... more

We came across Hotel Sophia on a last minute site and booked 2 nights. We were quite surprised that our tariff included a cooked buffet breakfast as generally these are optional extras. As accommodation providers ourselves you tend to be critical of others in the same industry; but we could not fault the staff, service and our room. We were... more

Lovely,quiet & very clean Hotel with great staff . Within walking distance to Casino and a short trip by tram to reseraunts and the theatre. Jump on the tram and walk around Docklands and have fish and chips by the water. Secure car parking close by at a very reasonable rate. A very nice place to stay. more
