Hotel Sophia is strategically located in the city, a walking distance to anywhere! Though the room was quite small, it was very clean and well equipped with basic neccessaties; towels, soap, shampoo, hot shower, water heater, tv, telephone, small refrigerator, iron, hair dryer (essential for women!) and etc. The breakfast was okay. Defenitely value for money! more

A very comfortable & clean hotel. Just the walking distance to Swanson Street a bit far. The surrounding area is a bit quiet at night if first timer to Melbourne & don't feel safe if walking alone. But i guess once got use to surrounding environment, should be alright. more

This is excellent centrally located hotel. Room small but adequately sized for brief stay. particular attention to the cleanliness of the room and hotel in general. Information provided gives good guidance to amentities and shops in the local area. Closeness to transport and airport transporters make it particularly attractive. Whilst we did not need to visit Ethiad Stadium this visit... more

Management response from
james castan, director

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
