Main advantage is its central location for the price they charge. Walking distance to Skybus pick up Station. A stone throw away from the Ethiad Footy stadium. Rooms a rather small and minimalistic in decor, but clean with quality sheets.The service is lacking a bit, as I believe the hotel is short-staffed. The complimentary hot breakfast is a welcome bonus,... More

rooms very clean, staff helpful, complimentary brekky included in room rate, good speed internet connection, quiet and centrally located - that summarises our stay at hotel sophia. An added bonus was the cafe bar located on ground floor with well priced counter meals. will definitely recommend this hotel to all our friends in Perth

We definintely wont be staying there again. The staff switched between ignoring you completely and being rude to reasonable requests (ie - linen changes). The rooms are very basic with a musty smell.

The buffet american breakfast though have limited menu, did filled our tummy comfortably. The room is nice with comfortable beds... More

Two of us arrived on business here after a long drive from Sydney. The staff could not find our bookings and were very unhelpful. It was a comedy of events from start to finish. We had to wait for our rooms and when we got them one room had the paintings still on the bed and the furniture had to... More

My partner and I recently stayed for one night at Hotel Sophia. We found the staff friendly and the room small but clean - including the shower/toilet. Recently refurbished, they have obviously got their act together since the negative review in 2009. The only thing that we found annoying was their requirement to hold a bond on our credit card...

This hotel was a great find- super clean, contemporary and well located in the western part of the cbd. It seems to be family owned and as such there is a real personal touch with the staff.... More
