The Sofia Hotel

Work Smart. Laught Hard. Rest Easy.

  • Downtown San Diego
  • Gaslamp District

An unforgettable experience for any guest lies in the hands of the host. Sofia's graciousness, charm, and attention to detail are everywhere from the fine linens and soothing toiletries, to the ambient bedside light, offering tired guests an opportunity to read or work from the comfort of their bed. Sofia is a sensible hostess who has thought of everything from a laptop safe to a mini-fridge.

Editorial Review for The Sofia Hotel – by Erin Chambers

In Short
Though situated on Broadway in the heart of downtown, across from the Sprekels' blinking marquis and next door to the Greyhound bus terminal, the Sofia's fossil art pieces, sheer screens and shell window panels give the lobby an organic, calm feel. The broadband-wired rooms and suites come with fine linens and flat-screens, and all guests have access to the hotel's private yoga studio and fitness center, both open 24 hours.

PROS: Found this place based on the good user reviews. I agree 100% on what everyone says. This is a great place with a long history. Recent big renovation accompanied with a good price. Had to stay 4 days to get a discounted price on hotels dot com but was well worth the price. For the $95 average price per night it was well worth it. If you can stay in a corner hotel room on the south-east corner it has a fantastic view of the city and sunrise. We had room 300 and it was fantastic. Room is a bit small, but its quaint and very cute, perfect for the younger couple. Free wireless internet in the lobby and very reasonably priced in the room, not to mention that there is a good 3-5 free wireless connections available from the room. CONS: Only bad thing I can say about the room is the shower. There is no bathtub which is not needed, but there is no door for the shower. I would recommend asking for a few extra towels ahead of time because the floor will get wet. Despite this slight annoying aspect, the room is fun and very enjoying.

Pros: Great location, Great look and feel. Great for the price

Cons: No shower door, gets wet, but just ask for extra towels.

We live in San Diego and just needed a nigh out. We decided to stay at The Sofia Hotel after it was recommended to us from a friend. What a hidden gem…. A NEW luxury boutique hotel in Downtown. The beds are GREAT. The rooms have everything you need including a refrigerator and microwave. They have a full business center where I was able to check my email and print out a large document to review… all FREE of charge. The staff was the friendliest I had ever come in contact with. From the front desk to the bellboys to housekeeping they were all so attentive, we felt like royalty! The hotel is located just outside of the Gaslamp where we walked and had a great dinner..thanks to a great recommendation from the concierges. If you are looking for a great value and a near perfect stay…. we would recommend The Sofia Hotel.
