"Got to stay in the City for a few days and it was the best trip! Long overdue time in this area. So many great restaurants close by and traveling by Cable Car never disappoints. The Hotel staff were all charming and helpful. Thanks for the great hospitality and memories. See you again!"

Hampton Inn San Francisco Downtown/Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was exceptionally clean. The staff went above and beyond what was asked of them. Breakfast was decent. Parking was done by valet, which was perfectly fine, just a bit expensive, but pretty normal for the San Francisco area. We truly enjoyed our stay!!!"

YOTEL San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, exceptional value, spotlessly clean, decent breakfast included, great location as the underground and street cars have stops right outside the hotel. We were a family of 5, from the UK, including 3 teens aged 17, 15 and 13. The hotel is only 15 mins walk from Union Square. Yes, it does have some homeless people and drug addicts on the streets nearby....but unfortunately thats San Fran city centre these days! We disnt feel particularly unsafe, it was just sad to see really....and a good lesson for the kids on why not to do drugs!!! You could stay in a Hilton 10 mins walk up the street and you will see the same thing when you leave your hotel. Also, you can leave the hotel and jump straight on a street car if you dont want to walk. Overall, awesome value lovely hotel in a v Central location to enable you to see all the sights from."
