This is an excellent hotel for the cost. It's located in the heart of the tenderloin, which makes it a bit worrisome but I had zero issues with the location and the property feels safe and is clean, and the rooms have all I need with a microwave, small fridge, iron and board, hair dryer, large flat screen tv, and nice computer desk. The only reason I don't give it five stars is due to the lack of air conditioning but its an old building. There is also no breakfast but that's okay, there are plenty of food choices near the place. The elevator is old fashioned so listen to the front desk when they tell you how to get in an out of the property and how to use the elevator. It is a bit loud outside so be aware of that fact. I plan on coming here again the next time I'm in town.

It was absolutely a historic hotel with a lot of charm. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. However, given that it was an older hotel, it definitely showed signs of wear and tear and didn't entirely match the pictures online. The bathroom was small and a little unclean, and the area surrounding the hotel (which I understand the hotel cannot help, but would have been nice to know about) is not the safest (especially at night). I would recommend this hotel for older, male travelers, but would not recommend for young female travelers. Also, we called the elevator the "murder-vator" for it's likeness to the Tower of Terror found at Hollywood Studios. Once I got over my initial discomfort (and inside my locked hotel room), I enjoyed my stay.

Wonderful family owned hotel. The TL or tenderloin neighborhood is San Francisco can always be a bit sketchy, but the city seems to have cleaned up in the last couple of years. This is an old hotel which I’m sure if the walls could talk would have quite the stories it has one of the oldest elevators in the city, which is really cool. I would definitely stay here again and it’s a great hotel when you’re on a budget.

The admiral stay

We spent 3 nights here in the middle of San Fran. Everything we wanted to get to was walking distance (10-15 mins will hills) or easily accessible to transit. The owner was friendly and I loved the vintage elevator and staircase, truly felt like a nice historical setting while the rooms were modern enough with nice big windows.

Perfectly positioned on the edge of San Francisco’s vibrant Theater District and Tenderloin, the Admiral Hotel offers unbeatable proximity to stages like the Curran, Geary, and Golden Gate Theatres—ideal for show-hoppers seeking affordable convenience. This no-frills boutique spot delivers clean, compact rooms with modern touches: flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and private baths. Expect basic comfort rather than luxury—think functional design in a recently refreshed historic building.

Tucked right in the pulse of San Francisco’s iconic Theater District, just steps from the Curran, Orpheum, and Golden Gate Theatres, Hotel Admiral San Francisco embodies sleek elegance fused with urban cool—perfect for pre-show cocktails or post-curtain unwindings. The lobby sets the tone with its minimalist sophistication: soaring atriums, contemporary art, and a serene waterfall feature that transports you from the city’s hustle. Service is polished and intuitive, with staff who effortlessly handle everything from theater ticket tips to late-night room service.

Pleasant little hotel in the Tenderloin

The Admiral is a delightful old hotel in the Tenderloin. The neighborhood is pretty awful, but the hotel is pleasant, clean, safe, and affordable. The staff are friendly and helpful, and I loved the room. It is an older hotel, but freshly painted and very clean, and I loved the mid-century furnishings. Very retro! The elevator is a bit strange, but once you get used to it it is fine.

Service is good and kindness is very good. The hotel is located in a typical urban ambiance. Don't expect the firemen trucks to be quiet ! Ear plugs mandatory. The Tenderloin area is not for basic travelers. It has been like this for ever. 2 blocs away it is a completely different world. We recommend the hotel for its good price/service ratio.

Admiral Hotel

This is a no frills type place so consider that when booking. Staff was very friendly. The hotel is over 100 years and you will know it but I kind of like that. This was the only place I could find within the government per diem rate. Everything else was 3-4 times more expensive. Homelessness and drug use is pervasive in the area and you will see zombies in the streets and tent encampments unfortunately at this time, however none of them bothered us or caused any concern for our safety. There is a convenient store right on the corner which is great for grabbing snacks or drinks and the bus stops right across the street.

The neighborhood on this block isn't as bad as many people make it out to be. I didn't have any problems walking around during the day or night. Some areas in the Tenderloin do have people out on the street day and night though. You do get noise coming through the windows from the street but you would get that most places downtown. This is an older hotel so it has some rough edges but it was clean enough and the bed and bathroom were fine. I liked that there was a mini fridge and microwave in the room. The stairs are steep but I didn't try the elevator since I was just on the second floor. The Wifi worked well for me. The location is central to many areas so it was easy to get around on scooters or busses.

“From the moment I stepped into The Admiral Hotel, I was enveloped in a serene, eco-chic oasis that felt like a love letter to Northern California’s natural beauty. The lobby, adorned with reclaimed redwood and a living moss wall, immediately set a tranquil tone, with the scent of clean air offering a refreshing escape from the city bustle.

Convenient location close to Union Square. Not in the nicest part of San Francisco. Hotel however did the job, it was clean and functional. Staff were helpful. Close to trams and cable cars. Quite noisy at night so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper! Good value for money.

Quaint and rustic, ear plugs a MUST

The hotel is a historical site so it has a very rustic design and feel to it. It's a little hard to tell it's a hotel at first since the awning is kinda small and inconspicuous, but the guy at the front was very nice. The room itself was nice and clean, with a fridge and microwave and cable tv, as well as the option to chrome cast. While there were no issues with the room itself, the outside area was quite loud with lots of people hanging outside and yelling throughout the night. Im a pretty sound sleeper and was on the 6th floor, but was woken up every 1-1.5 hours throughout the night. Definitely need ear plugs during the night to get a good nights sleep.

Very dated, shabby and noisy. Hotel is in an area that at night is full of homeless people and it’s dirty and feels unsafe. Police noise, music and yelling throughout the night. Room was clean but very dated and unkept, sheets and towels were clean but bed cover was stained, chair was old, bathtub looked bad. We only stayed one night because it was too late to change. Checked out the next morning. The rating of this hotel should not be anywhere near 6. This should be a 3 at max. Do not recommend.

Could be worse.

The hotel have good and bad stuff. The bathroom was pretty good. Floors could have been cleaner. Bed was good. Building quite old and elevetor not upgraded, real old school elevetor. Hallways didnt look fresh and had some weird smell. Worse problem is bad isolation. The cold weather made it freezing inside. Only one radiator that didnt do enough for a decent temperature. Decent location but much homelessness in the neighbourhood.

To be perfectly honest, when we arrived at the hotel. I was a little sketchy. Looked rough outside and even in the lobby. Once we were buzzed in (security), the staff was very welcoming. Gave us great information. This is a very old apartment building with a 40’s style elevator. The room was clean and had everything we needed. There is no AC in the hotel. Remember you are in San Francisco, it really doesn’t get hot. People open their windows and have fans circulating the cool air. Overall it was a great stay. There are several small markets and restaurants close by. The shop people are extremely friendly, they all made us feel welcome. We were obviously tourists.
