The hotel is incredibly close to the convention center—just a short walk away, making it perfect for business travelers. Right outside the door is the iconic cable car stop, so hopping on for a quick ride and snapping some photos is super easy.

Chapter San Francisco
Staying at Chapter San Francisco was a fantastic experience. The hotel is impeccably clean and conveniently located near a major thoroughfare, making it easy to get around the city. I especially appreciated the luggage storage area and the cozy lounge—perfect for relaxing before check-in or waiting for my airport transfer. The ambiance is modern and welcoming, with thoughtful touches throughout. It’s clear the team cares about guest comfort. Highly recommend this gem for travelers looking for style, convenience, and a peaceful vibe.
The Metro Hotel
My one-night stay at The Metro Hotel was absolutely excellent. Perfect for solo travelers or couples looking to stay 1–3 nights, this place offers an unbeatable location—everything from restaurants to convenience stores is within walking distance. I loved the charming, boutique-style vibe that reminded me of a cozy European hideaway. The only downside? No elevator—rooms are up a steep flight of stairs. This might not be ideal for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. But aside from that, the ambiance, cleanliness, and attention to detail made it feel like a true gem in the heart of San Francisco. Highly recommend for travelers who value location and character over convenience features.

Had a fantastic stay at Powell Place! This historic property truly stands out with its unique charm and prime location right along the cable car route—perfect for exploring San Francisco on foot or hopping on the iconic streetcars. The neighborhood is vibrant, walkable, and full of character. Our room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and immaculately clean—every detail felt thoughtfully designed. The staff went above and beyond to make our visit special, offering helpful tips and warm hospitality. We were able to easily explore downtown SF and nearby attractions, all within walking distance. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience. I’d absolutely stay here again—highly recommend for anyone looking for a stylish, authentic stay in the heart of the city.
The Willows Inn
The Willows Inn is one of the few clean, well-maintained, and reasonably priced options in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood. The staff are consistently friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with anything you might need. While the bathroom and shower facilities are shared and located in the hallway—something we usually prefer to avoid—the setup works surprisingly well. We’ve never had to wait for access, and the cleanliness is excellent. The included breakfast is generous and satisfying. Having stayed here multiple times over the years, we genuinely appreciate the value and charm this place offers. If you’re looking for a comfortable, authentic stay in the heart of Castro, The Willows Inn is absolutely worth considering.
HI San Francisco Downtown Hostel
At 66, this was my first time staying at a hostel—and I’m amazed by how welcoming everyone was and how clean and comfortable the rooms are. We booked an en-suite room with crisp white towels, fresh bedding on a wonderfully comfy bed, and daily housekeeping made sure everything stayed spotless. Located just around the corner from Union Square, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring downtown San Francisco—walking distance to shops, restaurants, and all major transit options. The location is unbeatable, and the value for money is outstanding. Huge thanks to the friendly staff at check-in—they made our arrival smooth and stress-free.
Mayflower Hotel
We stayed at the Mayflower Hotel for five nights at the end of our California road trip, and it was absolutely perfect. The hotel offers a free private parking garage—a real lifesaver in San Francisco—but be aware that the entrance is quite narrow. We managed to get our Toyota RAV4 in thanks to my husband’s sharp eyesight! Housed in a beautifully preserved historic building, the lobby has an elegant, timeless charm. Our room on the 6th floor (room 604) faced the main street—while the bed was a bit smaller than expected, the room itself was spacious with an enormous walk-in closet. The bathroom could use some modernization, but everything was clean and well-equipped, and fresh linens were delivered daily—though we did notice the sheets weren’t changed during our five-night stay, which was a small concern. Staff were warm and welcoming, and the two vintage elevators added such a unique character to the experience. Breakfast was included and offered a lovely continental spread: toasted bread, deli ham, cheese slices, jam, muffins, fresh orange juice, and coffee—the ideal way to start the day. The location couldn’t be better for exploring the city using public transit. Highly recommended! Just one tip: if you plan to drive, rent a compact car—it’ll make parking much easier.
WorldMark San Francisco
The stay at WorldMark San Francisco completely exceeded my expectations! The staff were incredibly kind and always eager to assist—whether it was checking in or just a quick question, they made me feel welcome. Even the housekeeping team was warm and attentive. My room was spotless, well-appointed, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It’s an ideal choice for solo travelers looking for a cozy, reliable base in San Francisco. I’d absolutely recommend this property and will definitely be back.
Hotel Epik
Staying at Hotel Epik was a fantastic experience—right next to City Hall, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring downtown San Francisco. The room we booked was a suite, and while the size depends on the type, ours felt spacious and well-maintained with a clean, modern vibe. I’ll be honest—the breakfast was simple: just a few pastries and coffee—but it got the job done if you’re in a rush. What really stood out was how easy it is to get around. There are plenty of bus routes nearby, so picking up a transit card and hopping on for a leisurely tour of the city is totally doable. Even though there are some people experiencing homelessness in the area, they didn’t seem threatening or intrusive—we felt safe throughout our stay. Overall, this place offers great value, comfort, and location, making it an excellent choice for travelers who want to explore San Francisco like a local.
Geary Parkway Motel
Amazing value for money! The motel is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood with no visible homelessness—something I truly appreciated. Free parking is a huge plus, especially since most hotels in San Francisco charge extra (and often quite a bit). Everything was clean and well-maintained—the linens and towels were fresh, and the room had a cozy feel despite the building being a bit older. What matters most to me? A comfortable bed and a strong shower—and this place delivered on both. If you're just passing through and need a solid night's sleep, this is more than enough. Plus, the area felt safe; we never worried about leaving belongings unattended. Perfect for budget-conscious travelers who want reliability and peace of mind.
Best Western Red Coach Inn
Staying at the Best Western Red Coach Inn was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—right near the south entrance of the park, making it super convenient to explore downtown San Francisco and nearby attractions. The rooms were spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable, with a peaceful atmosphere that made for a restful night's sleep. I especially appreciated how close everything was—the local shops, cafes, and restaurants were just steps away. It’s a great base for both sightseeing and relaxing. With excellent value and top-notch service, this place truly stands out. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
