Neat Hotel that takes you back in time”
We stayed at the Sophia for two nights while waiting for our daughter to get back from a deployment in the Navy. Because of Covid, the bar / restaurant was closed so we could not utilize that amenity. It is an old building so you feel a bit like being transported back into the 40's or 50's. But since we like that era, we considered that to be a positive. And while we were on the 4th floor and it had an elevator, we sometimes used the staircase just because it seemed like the thing to do. The staff was great and the room was really nice even if a little smaller than what today's hotels offer. Again - it was part of the back in time ambiance. The only negative, and I knew this when making the reservation, is that they have an "add on resort fee" for things like the internet and such. Personally, I'd prefer they just role those costs into the base rate and be up front about the cost, but that is a personal preference. They are still a fairly inexpensive option compared to the cookie cutter chain hotels. I just think add on fees cause more ill will than they are worth. Final comment - great location for walking to the Gaslight District OR the Little Italy District. And if you don't like to walk, Uber is cheap to either area.

Rare Find”
We booked The Sofia Hotel due to location and price. We were amazed by the staff, location, cleanliness and price. We stayed here 2 days before our cruise and would definitely recommend it to anyone - it was an easy walk to the port with luggage.

Quaint hotel”
This was a wonderful little boutique hotel. The rooms were nice and clean. Just a heads up that the rooms are very small though, so if you need something a little bit more spacious, look elsewhere. Otherwise, this was a great hotel in a very nice location.

Fiance and I had a wonderful three night trip and everything we needed was at our door very quickly, would recommend to anyone coming to the area! Rustic accents on a remodeled building, I thought it was very cute and retro, and may even be haunted!!(:

Decent value”
Got a good rate compared to other hotels in the area. Loved the building and the decor. Staff was nice and helpful. Rooms are pretty small, but that’s to be expected in a historic hotel. Only real issue was the AC on the top floors wasn’t super effective - a little bit stuffy in the room and worse in the halls.

King suite”
We liked the hotel in San Diego a lot. We had the king suite. It was nice to have a living room however the furniture was so uncomfortable that we lost the enjoyment of it. Also neither of us really liked t he bathroom setup with the sink between the living room and bedroom.

Great Until the Evening”
It's a beautiful, charming hotel with wonderful amenities (inexpensive parking, gym, yoga classes, free filtered water, business center, bikes) and gracious staff, but we couldn't get past the suboptimal AC. We turned the AC on about an hour before bed to cool down the room but the temperature never budged despite it being on all night. It remained 78 degrees through the morning, sometimes dipping to 77, so it was very uncomfortable and we weren't able to sleep well. If it wasn't for this we would return here.
