We stayed at the Hotel Sofia for one night as we were in Melbourne for a gig at the Etihad Stadium. The location was great for the stadium, train station, bars and shops. We had a double room with shared bathroom, which was clean and had most facilities you could want. Could have done with a bit more shelf space... More

I don’t know if this review is still helpful as we stayed here in 2009. My partner and I were students and were looking for budget accommodation. Only good thing about this hotel was its location.

The location of the hotel is within walking distance to Melbourne's Southern Cross Railway Station - about 4 streets away and Melbourne's free Public City Circle Tram just 1 street away.

Small but functional and clean room. Nice and close to everything Major gripe - there's no way this is a 4* hotel - that's what it's rated as but those pictures on the website look like they got a lot of photoshop and wide angle treatment lenses.... If they called it 3* you'd rate it ok for Australia and recommend... More

I stayed 1 night in this hotel back in March 09. The girls on reception were very helpful and friendly but they had 2 male managers there and I thought they were very rude, not just to guests but to their staff. I think they were Greek. One of the older males knocked on our door at 10am to clean... More
