OUR GUESTS SAY IT BEST

Top Notch Old World Hospitality

The staff at The Sofia Hotel embodies the same charm as the 100-year-old building they work in. Their dedication to a great customer experience reminds me of the olden day Innkeeper. Absolutely top-notch service and elegant accommodations. Highly recommend.

Perfect Location, Excellent Staff, Comfortable Room

We had a wonderful stay. The room was very comfortable and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Location was perfect — a 15-minute walk down to our cruise ship.

Great Stay

Great location, just a few blocks from the pier. It is also really near Little Italy, where there are several places to eat. Rooms are really nice and cozy.

Best of the Best

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.
