We booked into Hotel Sophia on a recommendation. We were pleasantly surprised at the value for money. The breakfast was extensive with hot and cold choices. The rooms were clean and comfortable but small. The staff were courteous and helpful. Internet connection easy and affordable. The meals at the very quiet and cosy Golden Age hotel were delicious and well... more

Having b'fast in the ground floor make-shift dining hall is a Russian-Roulette nightmare! The bread, butter, jam - are there for sure. But hot items? The night before, they'll say hot items will be available at xx-am. The next day, when you think you'll have hot items at the given time, whamm! An A4-size notice at the entrance will tell... more

We stayed here for one night in a standard room - paid just $99 for the night which included a cooked buffet breakfast. We arrived at the hotel about 9.30am in the hope our room may not be ready - we were told by the very friendly Reception that it would be ready in about 30 mins (which we were... more

This Hotel is very clean and quite new. The rooms are on three levels with elevator access. Each is well appointed with basic needs. Some are much smaller than others and the main negative is that the rooms facing King St are subject to a lot of traffic noise from very early in the morning so ear plugs are a... more

We came across Hotel Sophia on a last minute site and booked 2 nights. We were quite surprised that our tariff included a cooked buffet breakfast as generally these are optional extras. As accommodation providers ourselves you tend to be critical of others in the same industry; but we could not fault the staff, service and our room. We were... more

My only suggestions:- turn down the volume of the TV in the Breakfast Room or TURN IT OFF! and it is a bit annoying to get local Queensland news and ads on... more

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room, which exceeded my expectations especially considering the price included a complimentary cooked (buffet) breakfast - which at many hotels can cost up to $20 per guest. The recently renovated room was spotless, and it was obvious the management took a personal interest in the presentation and cleaning of the rooms.... more
