Reviews

Additional amenities fees and some other fees were charged later; this is not included in my original booking which makes my reimbursement for business trip quite not convenient.
-
The staff was very helpful in providing a room before the usual 4:00PM check-in time. We were able to get situated, freshen up, rest and get ready for the Padres vs Dodgers game. The room was very clean, brought up to date and extremely comfortable. I love the fitness and yoga rooms. The location of Hotel Sofia is perfect; a nice equidistant walk to Little Italy, Gaslamp and the water.

Everything was great! Small rooms but it’s perfect

What can I say about this establishment that probably hasn’t been set already it is very top notch hassled in an old building in San Diego. It gives you the feeling of being at home. The rooms may be a little small, but they’re quaint. All my questions were answered in a polite and timely manner. There was no jumping through hoops, checking in ballet and checking out, was done with a breeze, if looking for a small hotel in a nice area away from the gaslamp District, the Sophia is when I highly recommend

We had an amazing time at the Sofia hotel! It was the perfect location for my husband to attend his conference at the Convention Center, and for the kids and I to explore San Diego. The bus to the zoo and museums picks up and drops off right in front of the hotel. There are great food options on every corner. The hotel itself was clean and quiet. The Kind Suite was spacious enough for the four of us to spread out. It was also nice to have our own fridge and microwave. The staff was very friendly and responsive, from bringing extra bedding for the pull-out sofa, to allowing us to check our bags until we flew out at 6 pm. We'd highly recommend this hotel for families or anyone looking for a city experience in San Diego!

The hotel itself was fine, but our experience at the uca restaurant was terrible. The restaurant seemed severely short-staffed, service was very slow, and we waited a long time for our food. Unfortunately, the food quality was also very poor. This experience left a negative impression and overshadowed the rest of our stay.

This was the perfect place to stay as it is at the top of the Gaslamp District in San Diego. Walking distance to Petco Park, the San Diego Convention Center, and the Navy Pier. Plus is just blocks from my San Diego office. Great and Helpful staff and they are always ready to get you directions to the best for or experiences within walking distance and beyond.

Good experience and cool restaurant attached to hotel
-
While I understand you don’t always get what you see I expected to at least have a usable room. The ac did not keep up, even having it set at 64 degrees it said it was 73. The windows are sealed shut so you can’t even get a breeze going to help cool it down. The shower is tiny, and we had a sewage smell coming from both it and the sink. Overall I was very disappointed in what we received versus what room we got considering I “upgraded” to the premium.

Location and staff was great
