Everything was exceptional.. From check in to check out. Just make sure you park in the public parking behind the hotel building, then go into the hotel to check in. They will give you a ticket to place on your dashboard of your vehicle and charge for parking when you check out. I paid through the parking meter and I did not realize that I should have gone through the hotel first. Rooms are a bit small, but it was very cozy and my friend and I did just fine. I loved the fact they had a refrigerator and microwave in the room. Walking distance to Petco Park and eateries in Little Italy 🇮🇹 I cannot wait to return in July for another baseball game. I have already reserved our room here at The Sofia Hotel

My stay at the Sofia Hotel was peaceful and restful. Even though the hotel is historically over 100 years old, the rooms are modern and clean. What I like is the walking proximity to nearby restaurants and the MTS trolley line.

Bed / mattress was of good quality and comfortable. Room was a decent sq.ft. - Comparable to a room in a Westin in size. Bathroom / shower areas recently renovated. Location was excellent for our requirements as we were able to easily walk to most venues we want to see and bus transit system was very good.

Staff was excellent. I had forgotten my phone on the bed. I realized it at the airport and called in a panic thinking they may take the sheets with the phone in them. I was put in touch with Amy who immediately ran to check the room before they stripped the bed. She only found my phone, she drove it out to the airport where I was able to meet her, retrieve it from her and still get on my flight. She was my personal hero that day!

The hotel was cute with the mix of a classic building and modern upgrades. The location was excellent and an easy walk to nightlife and other entertainment.

The Staff was excellent and very helpful. The flavored water and candy at the front desk was a nice touch. Definitely grabbed a hand full of mints and smarties when coming and going. Water filling station on the floor helped since there was no bottled water in the room.

The staff were all friendly and accommodating. I lost an item one night and they were very helpful in finding it. The location is right within downtown and a short walk from Gaslamp. There are free candies at reception which was a nice touch.

I was attending a conference at the Westin Gaslamp. The Sofia is literally a 4 minute walk. The room was clean. Booking.com allowed them to upgrade my room to a suite. I stayed in room 601. End unit.

The location was perfect for my needs . Close to everything and within walking distance of every place I needed to go with. Whilst the rooms are small they are comfy . A lot of history with this hotel which I enjoyed finding out about. The guided walk with Pamela on SATURDAY morning was a bonus. Very informative and interesting tour .
