Brilliant facilities for me with microwave and fridge which enabled me to save money on meals! Good room, internet facilities and very helpful concierge as I used buses a lot during my stay. Great situation as near bus stops, trlley, supermarket and restaurants, shopping mall. My feet never touched the ground during my 13 day stay and I would recommend this hotel to anyone! Loved the 'free' walking tour of Gaslamp area!

My wife & I very much enjoyed our stay at the Sofia. We were walking distance from everything we needed including the train station and Street Scene. The hotel was clean & comfortable and the free bottles of water were very much appreciated. The staff was excellent.

Nice spot the only thing is you have to pay 28 a day for parking!

we had the queen room which is tiny but they make great use of the small space. it is perfect and cozy for a romantic night and the restaurant downstairs is too. great location.

Hotel was steps away from the mall and bars/restaurants. The hotel was very clean and the people were exceptionally nice. I would definitely stay again.

Discovered an exercise room and a separate yoga room on one of the floors. What a great surprise. The bed and pillows were fantastic and i slept very well for not being in my own bed.

Everyone was very efficent! The daily rate of $28. to park a car was a little expensive, but there isn't anywhere else to park it, the parking attendants were very professional. Overall I would give the hotel an excellent.

I would recommend The Sofia Hotel to anybody interested in staying in downtown San Diego. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent...right by Gaslamp and Horton Plaza. The room was clean and nicely furnished. You do sacrifice some space in the room, but that is expected with a historic boutique hotel.

Great hotel for the price paid per night

This is the second time I have stayed at the Sophia. This time my wife was with me and yes it is a little small but we visit New York frequently and felt fine with it. Great staff. Location is a little iffy but I am a larger guy and do not worry about the element arround the hotel. Quick walk to the Gaslamp and you must go to the yard house that is near by.

While our room was quite small and we only had a shower (no bathtub) it was very clean and modern. The only have valet parking which is quite pricey but we were able to find parking in the area south and west of the hotel. The only problem with that is we had to either feed the meter or move by 8am, which just encouraged us to get up bright and early and on with our day.

This is a historic hotel beautifully appointed and convenient to walk to the Gaslamp district, beach and shopping and freeways. The staff was professional, friendly and helpful. The small restaurant and bar were good. Parking in the area is limited and the hotel charges $28/night for valet parking which includes "ins and outs." Surrounded by one-way streets driving around the hotel, including locating the valet parking, is a bit confusing the first time. I'll definitely check on the Sofia if my travels take me back to San Diego.

clean. beautiful overall. the fact that its by a greyhound makes the neighborhood kinda ugly but once you step into the sofia hotel you forget about it. service was wonderful but the rooms were a bit small for their prices.

Being a Friday night, the room next to ours partied well into the night not allowing us much sleep as we needed to be up early the next day. Also, a lot of outside noise - rooms seemed to have no insulation against noise.

What a great hotel. It's located on a historic corner and they have historic facts all throughout the hotel. The rooms are very cozy and have everything you need (microwave, mini fridge). Super cool rooms and located perfectly by the Gas Lamp District.

A very nice hotel. Older, with smaller rooms. However, it has been renovated and the furnishings/decor are very modern/chic. Breakfast at the hotel was a little pricey. A better bet would be the coffee shop on the corner.

This hotel was fantastic, quaint and modern at once. We booked a stay shortly after the ComicCon, to unwind from the madness of that event, and to take advantage of the lower rates. The staff was incredibly helpful and made very attempt to satisfy requests and concerns, few as they may have been. The room (a suite in this case) was on the smaller side, but entirely sufficient in space none-the-less. The hotel is located just minutes from the area's large mall and other shopping, entertainment, and dining conveniences. The only downside I came to see was that the area has a large number of homeless that tended to be more aggressive than normal in their panhandling. I don't say this to sound cruel or greedy (I in fact bought a coffee/food here or there for a few), but it really was sufficient enough to take note of and start planning routes to avoid them. Hardly the Sofia's problem, but something to take note of if it continues.

My husband and I stayed at the Sofia for 3 nights in July and found their customer service to be excellent. Everyone from the Reception staff to doormen to the waiters at their fabulous restaurant went out of their way to help us with any request. We had a Queen room which was comfortable although nothing particularly special. Free internet access in the Business Centre was a bonus for me as I did not take my laptop with me. The hotel location was excellent - close to shops, dining and easy access to transport. We would stay again.

This was my first time staying at the Sofia, and the hotel well exceeded my expectations. The price was right, location was perfect, the staff was knowledgeable and friendly, the restaurant and bar were excellent. I felt "welcome" and valued by the Sofia staff :-)

For a low price I had a very stylish, and modern hotel with a historic feel. The rooms were a little small but the layout, location and ammenities more than made up for it. I will always stay here when traveling to San Diego.

Great location...but rooms are really small!

Rooms were clean and well decorated but very small. The Queen bed took the entire rooms space. The shower was very small and the shower door was small and leaked water all over the bathroom floor. The bed was not as comfortable as it looked and pillows were small. The other huge downfall was the parking, if you have a car you have to valet and it is $28/day!!

This was our first time staying at this hotel and it was more than what I expected. We have a toddler who needs a spacious area to be comfortable and this place delivered. I am a clean freak and the room definitely met my standards. Our child felt at home and was very happy staying in the suite. I would absolutely recommend this place for those looking for more than a cheap stay in a less than acceptable hotel. The proximity to Seaport Village made it very convenient.

Great location for the money in downtown San Diego near many great restaurants and services.

I enjoyed my room. beautiful decor and the beds were awsome. I would stay there again.

I would return to the Sofia in the future. It is recommended however, that they provide outreach and care to their clients. For example, it is not reasonable in today's hotels to charge for internet access in the rooms. In addition, small customer care items such as cookies in the lobby or happy hour in the restaurant/bar were noticeably missing. Please be aware that the breakfasts are very greasy, undercooked and will have you running to the bathroom. Room 429, July 12-15, 2009

Beautiful room, quiet and comfortable, friendly staff. great experience

The staff was very nice and helpful. They recommended places to eat in the area. They were very accomodating as we arrived early and were not charged to check in early. The room decor was beautiful too.

yes, the rooms were small, but that's what I expect in a historic downtown city. If you have a busy "on the go" schedule, a small room is fine. The bed was perfect( and I'm picky).

I would recommend staying at the hotel. The hotel from the outside looks very rustic and old but the rooms are very modern and contemporary feel and look. The only issue I did have was the valet parking. They charge $28 for over night and they messed up my car. My car back latch for the trunk access is broken and there is a certain way to open my trunk. The trunk seem like it was tampered. For $28 I would have expected my car to be parked in a safe area. Overall stay at the hotel was great. They allow late check out and the guest service people are friendly.

The room was pretty small. I would definitely make sure that you have a room with a view of the city, not a brick wall. The window in our room looked out to a brick wall that was about 3 feet away - looking into another room. It made the small room even more clausterphobic. Other than that, the staff was very nice and the hotel is in a great location with a lower price than other hotels in downtown SD.

The neighborhood is a little sketchy, but I never felt unsafe. Easy walking distance to the Gas Lamp. The public transportation to the hotel was simple, efficient and inexpensive. Overall, a great hotel for the price.

The hotel is extremely clean. The staff are very helpful. You do have to pay a valet fee of $28 per day and they can get busy which slows them down. Overall, this was a wonderful hotel and the location is great.

Guests needed to pay for parking $28/day.

This a great place to stay, the only thing that concerned me was the amount of homeless around the hotel and the types of people that were hanging out in front of the greyhound station that is right next to the hotel. Just beware walking around at night. The hotel itself was fabulous!

I got the room for 50% off. It was totally worth it. The room was small, but very nice. The shower is a little odd, but didn't bother me. I didn't have any problems with noise, but I've read other reviews that said that was a problem. My main complaint is that you have to pay $10/day for wireless in your room. Seems a little silly to me, but they do have free WiFi in the lobby. The gym and yoga room are free.

The location was very good .. close to the mall and many bars, as well as the port. The rooms were a bit small but very clean.

Hotel had courteous staff and was in a convinient location.
