We stayed for 4 nights while attending a convention. Excellent location in the Gaslamp district, a 15-minute walk from the Convention Center and a short walk from tens of restaurants. Clean, modern decor. Rooms are well designed with very comfortable beds, refrigerator, microwave, even though not a lot of extra space. Excellent on-site 24-hour fitness room. Free WiFi in the... more

Arrived in San Diego at 11am. We decided to just drop off our luggage at the hotel, since it was to early to check in, and explore. Well imagine our surprise, when we were allowed to check in early! After the long flight, we really needed to clean up so this was a welcomed surprise. We were given a room... more

The hotel was much less expensive than most alternatives near the convention center which had me concerned but the hotel was excellent. Clean, well designed, great restaurant, and just a 10-15 minute walk to the convention center. Rooms are small but well maintained, nicely designed, and more than adequate for one or two people. Would definitely recommend and stay there... more

Hotel reminds me of the great European boutique hotels. Room was small but had everything - fridge, microwave, safe. good lighting. Very nice, 24 hour fitness room with bottles of water. On site bar and restaurant with inventive happy hour specials. Location was great - very close to Horton Plaza, about 5-8 blocks to Gaslight and Convention Center. My only... more

The rooms were modern, clean, and very comfortable, but small. If you need space, this hotel is not for you. The bathroom had a large shower stall, but no tub. The complimentary toiletries were quite nice. The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. It is a little bit of a hike to the convention center as it is on... more

My husband, two friends and I recently stayed three nights at the Sofia hotel in San Diego's famous Gaslamp Quarter. We enjoyed it very much for the following reasons: -Prime location for walking to Horton Plaza and 5th street for nightlife and dining. -Small rooms are very cleverly used. They are chic and efficient. -Quiet at night! I was never... more

I've stayed at The Hotel Sofia numerous times when visiting San Diego for business. It's a little further from the convention center (and convention hotels) than most are used to, but the walk (or cab ride) is simple and relatively speedy...and the cost savings are definitely worth it. The rooms are cozy and nicely equipped with supreme high-speed internet access,... more

The room is a little bit small, so I would not travel here with kids unless you are getting them a separate room. That having been said, my wife and I very much enjoyed the comfortable accommodations and great location! Super beds, a small fridge to keep wine cold and a little microwave all fit inside the cozy room. The... more

I recently stayed at the Sofia while attending a convention at the San Diego Convention Center and absolutely loved the hotel. The hotel has a historic look/feel in the exterior, yet classic/cozy feel in the lobby and public areas. We stayed in one of the suites, and everything was nicer than any other 4 diamond or 4 star property I've... more
