This was a beautiful hotel with a great location, only a few blocks from the Gaslamp District. Walking distance to lots of bars, nightclubs and restaurants. Also walking distant to the ocean and other main Downtown SD attractions. I loved that the hotel was pet friendly. Although our room was a bit small, it was fully equipped and decorated beautifully.... More

We did quite a bit of research before booking this hotel, I wanted to be downtown and was very happy to choose something warm and quaint with a personality rather than a more modern hotel chain. I was so happy that we chose The Sofia. The location was perfect - could walk everywhere we wanted to go including some lovely... More

i stayed at the Sofia for 6 nights while exploring San Diego. it is a smaller little boutique-style hotel right down in the middle of the city. the desk staff and concierge were helpful and welcoming. it was easy to walk to the nearby shopping centre at Horton plaza, the Ralph's grocery another block further away and very central to...

I like it! I chose this hotel thanks the advices of tripadvisors people. I didn't look anything about this hotel in the internet. So I was very surprised to find out that it was "so elegant and warm" for the price. I booked for 3 nights and paid 360 $ excl. tax and excl. the 7$/day for amenities (obligatory). But... More

This recently redone hotel was terrific - from the bellboys greeting you to the front desk staff - service is clearly a priority. The place is beautiful. Room was small, but had all the amenities, including a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The location is a 10 minute walk to the Convention Center and less than that to the Gaslamp.... More

The Sofia Hotel provides greatly appointed rooms, tastefully furnished in a small space. The hotel maximizes the space in each room by providing enough storage, work, and entertainment space. The bed was large and comfortable, and both my girlfriend and I slept fantastic. The hotel is located close to public transit which was great for getting to the many tourist... More

Very professional staff. Clean rooms, nicely decorated, small like a NYC hotel room. Not the most picturesque scenery outside but only a short walk to nicer area and gas lamp. Would stay here again. Well priced. More

Great location! Close to everything in the Gaslamp. Great restaurant! However, front desk staff do not greet guests on arrival. They were mutes!!! Rooms have paper thin walks. Bathroom layout is wierd. Our sink was right inside the door to the room. Shower with only a 1/2 wall. Could hear trolley running a block behind the hotel. Lots of street... More

I've stayed here a couple of times and its best asset is the staff. They're always friendly and helpful. The rooms are small but to me they have a cozier feel to them, and they're decorated with good taste. I also like its location (close to a trolley stop: Civic Center) and that they frequently have promotions and discounts on... More
