"New surprises at the sofia"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5

I have visited The Sofia in the past. We have always loved the location, cleanliness and the service received from the staff. This trip were absolutely surprised with recent updates and our “high tech” room without a single detail missed. There is a light system to alert housekeeping for privacy and room service with no more sloppy dot hangers. Lovely design choices, the same high end towels and linens. We enjoyed speaking with Amy (sales manager) in the lobby during the morning. Kleber at the desk for reception. Everything was perfect! Could not be happier and will visit again.

The bed was so comfortable, the room was immaculate and we had a wonderful view. Perfect location as it’s so close to everything, the only struggle was figuring out the parking as ive never been in the area before (beware one way streets). Otherwise amazing and we will definitely stay here again!!

"Best of the Best!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed January 01, 2026
We absolutely loved my stay at The Sofia Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and genuinely cared for. The hotel itself blends historic charm with modern comfort—beautiful touches in the lobby, thoughtfully designed rooms, and an overall inviting atmosphere that makes it feel like a retreat rather than just a place to sleep. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and quiet given the downtown location. We appreciated the little details, like the quality linens, great water pressure in the shower, and the cozy ambiance. The location could not be better—steps away from amazing restaurants, the Gaslamp Quarter, and an easy walk to the waterfront. It made exploring the city effortless. What really stood out was the service. Every interaction felt warm and personal, as if the team truly values each guest. We left feeling rested, taken care of, and excited to return. This is now our go-to hotel in San Diego. Highly recommend!
