Sofia is our go to hotel in Downtown San Diego - we live outside of the city and it’s our choose hotel for staycation. It located in walking distance from everything downtown (Gas Lamp, Little Italy, Embarcadero, Seaport Village, East Village, Petco, Rady Shell, Balboa Theater, Civic Theater, etc). The typically have the best rates of anywhere in the area and the rooms are clean. It isn’t as updated as other places in the area, but it is the best value we’ve found.

This hotel is conveniently located as a close drive to the airport and the Convention Center, where I attended a conference. Room is small but clean. Hotel is very quiet. Friendly staff. Did not seem to be near any convenience stores for snacks but they at least have drinks (possibly more) available for purchase at the front desk. I had thought about bringing my family along, but considering how small the room is, I'm glad I didn't. I would stay again for a solo trip, though.

Clean rooms, though very small, they were cozy. The location was good for going to both Seaport and GasLamp Quarter. Nesspresso coffee was yummy, digital panel to control room was easy to use. No resraurant or room service. I would stay again.

I was in one of the newly renovated rooms on the 7th floor and was very impressed. Although the rooms aren’t large, they’re great for a couple or solo business travel in the core and not too far to walk to the Gaslamp District. Nespresso machines a bones for a quality coffee in the morning. Would recommend and would stay again.

Great hotel and great location

Clean room, friendly and helpful staff. Great location for downtown San Diego. The area is a quieter part of downtown. However, it is a quick walk to the Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, and the waterfront.

I stayed at The Sofia Hotel in downtown San Diego and loved its mix of historic charm and modern comfort. The location is excellent—just steps from the Gaslamp Quarter, the waterfront, and conveniently close to the Santa Fe train station, making travel super easy.
