Great staff with friendly attitude and good suggestions as to where to go and where NOT TO GO. It’s giving hostel vibes with customer service attentiveness. The area around the hotel can turn from tolerable to hella sketchy. Great for solo travelers that don’t mind sharing a bathroom or a shower, bring your own toiletries.

The real lowdown on this place
Your enjoyment and satisfaction at this place really depends on your familiarity with and tolerance of modern US urban environments. The hotel is a quirky old property that feels pretty safe once you're inside. The immediate area does have a large unhoused population but you are also in easily walkable distance to Union Square and the touristy bits. I'm a street savvy older male so I felt fine but you have to gauge your own comfort level. It is a great bargain to be in the middle of SF.

Hidden Gem
The place is a little run down, needs new carpet, etc. my room was very clean and modern. Had a window overlooking the garden that I could open for fresh air.
Shared bathroom and shower is what it is, but was very clean. Robes were provided for going from shower to room. Place was quiet, service was friendly.

The hotel is very old, there are cracks in the walls and paint. There are roaches, smells really bad. I want a refund or a credit.

Old building, old furnishings, old finishings, and not that well maintained. Everything is at the boundary of ok. Even the floor was inclined in the room, everything rolling from the door to the window... A good new layer of paint would do it good, and new furnishings. The showers were nice and modernized. The toilets less so. Everything was clean.

Pro: posizione comoda per raggiungere a piedi o con i mezzi i principali punti d'interesse della città, presenti inoltre numerosi negozi e ristoranti in zona. Personale disponibile e cordiale.
Contro: nel quartiere sono presenti molti senzatetto e passeggiare da soli non è molto sicuro. La struttura è vecchia e le camere avrebbero bisogno di una ristrutturazione.

Great value for a short stay
Well located near Union Square and good value for money for a short stay. Super friendly staff at reception brought me a desk so I could do some studying. Many choices of eating and drinking nearby including morning breakfast to different styles of evening dining. All major shops and transport options (bus, cable car) are nearby. Bathroom facilities are shared so long as you don’t mind. Recommended !

Pleasant staff, room ok for short stay
Does not live up to details or look on website. Not DVD built into the tv not was one in the room. Bed and bedding was nice. Closet is not deep enough to hang clothes. Room walls looked unpleasant. Staff super nice. Very friendly and accommodating with late check out. Security of hotel was good.

Great and safe location. Outdated hotel.
The hotel is very well located. The Union Square just around the corner and the street itself is very safe and not busy. The hotel and rooms are very outdated and would deserve a little refresh. I did not mind shared bathrooms and toilettes since they very clean and always empty but what indo mind the noise they make when people use them and open and shut doors. I was awake many times during the night because of this and it was really very inconvenient. Even walls and ceilings are so thin that you hear everything from up and down and right and left. But all in all, i was happy to stay in the city centre for such a low price considering San Francisco hotel prices.
