San Francisco hotellit Chinatown

Plussat: Probably my favorite hotel in the city! Staff is professional, friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable.

Miinukset: Me staying longer. Can't wait to return

Plussat: Check in and extras

Plussat: Everyone was amazing! Jonathan the bartender, patrick the bellman, everyone! They made my boyfriends birthday very special. This is the best hotel in SF. Thank you to the entire staff.

Miinukset: Nothing because everything was awesome!

Plussat: The rooms were lovely and dinner was fabulous.

Miinukset: Breakfast was mediocre and the staff (mainly the concierge) was nit very helpful. Also parking is $75. That’s crazy.

Plussat: The staff was exceptional. ALL of them.

Miinukset: Not much. The spa was priced really high so we ended up making other accommodations.

Miinukset: They need to add a salon that has someone there to do hair blow outs for customers staying at the Ritz.

Plussat: Customer service was outstanding.

Miinukset: In a large double room, the sitting area had one very uncomfortable cheap chair. Fortunately, my wife did not mind sitting on the floor

Plussat: The room and bathroom were very clean. The price was comparatively attractive. The windows faced a cement wall; felt like I was underground. ** For bare bones travel to downtown SF, the place was okay.

Miinukset: The room was drab. The staff turned off the AC daily so the room was hot each day. Walls were thin; could hear neighboring discussions. The bed was unconventionally firm. Lighting was awkward; one ceiling fixture as primary.

Plussat: GREAT location. I thought being in China town would be unpleasant form (simply because I'm from NY and being in a densely populated part of town held no appeal for me - especially since I was traveling on business). But I loved it! And the hotel is situated in the strangest but most fabulous block - it's a cross section between China town and a strip of very authentic Italian/Sicilian restaurants. The best food. I ate VERY well and enjoyed the clash of cultures. The staff was so incredibly nice and professional. Very friendly and accommodated my request with no problem.

Miinukset: I liked everything. And I'm someone who hates staying in hotels. But this was really a pleasant stay. Keep in mind that I only stayed one night. But still, it was a great stay.

Plussat: Location was amazing. Walking distance to the water and all the piers. Plenty of bars, restaurants and attractions. Very clean, and well maintained. Complimentary breakfast was good!

Miinukset: My wife was first surprised by the strip Clubs nearby. She soon realized it was not an issue at all. They were just a few of the many clubs, bar and restaurants in the area. Do not let that stop you from staying here.

Plussat: Hotel is in Chinatown, only blocks away from North Beach and a nice (downhill!) walk to Fisherman's Wharf, but the cable car line was close by and provided our return to the hotel. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was continental style (toast, boiled eggs, cereal, coffee). Hotel and room were VERY clean and room was not as small as I thought it would be.

Plussat: The location is by far the best part of this hotel. Will be staying there again every time I travel to San Fran to have a good time.

Miinukset: Not a very large room or special hotel for anything other than location.

Plussat: Right between Chinatown and North Beach. Clean, nicely decorated, friendly staff

Plussat: The location. Walking distance to quite a bit.

Miinukset: I did not like that they did not help move bags and that the internet was an additional charge. Printing was an additional fee on tp of the internet fee if someone needed.Also the room faced a brick wall and the rooms were not soundproof.

Plussat: We enjoyed our stay at SW Hotel.The staff was most helpful, especially, Jennifer, at the front desk. The Hotel is very handy to all the shops and eateries(internationally) and within walking distance to churches & public transport.During our stay, we walked everywhere....and it was safe and pleasant.

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: very clean and central, good hotel for SFO, would recommend it

Plussat: Staff was very friendly.Room was tiny, but given the city it was to be expected. Area of town looks seedy, but never had a problem.

Plussat: It was in exactly the location i was looking for

Miinukset: The TV could not be heard well over the street noise- volume was locked at low level.

Plussat: Very clean and modern. Staff friendly and helpful. The location is excellent and within walking distance to many of San Francisco tourist sights. The value was great - especially for a city hotel.

Miinukset: The rooms are a little on the small side, but doe the value I would stay here

Miinukset: Beds are not made for long people

Plussat: helpful staff --very responsive, convenient location, nice rooms for the money

Plussat: The hotel was convenient to nightlife and other local sightseeing attractions between Chinatown and Little Italy. The staff was friendly and accomodating, and parking was secure. I'd stay again.

Miinukset: The shower curtain liner had a sour smell, which made the bathroom smell sour

Plussat: The building is beautiful and welcoming, the staff is amazingly friendly, other guests were pleasant, breakfast was nice, bed was comfortable, I felt safe, windows open, fan in room, wonderful place!!!

Miinukset: The fan in the bathroom didn't work, but they supplied me with a plug in fan to accommodate, not really that big of a deal.

Miinukset: The unit had a cot for a bed. The unit did not have a bathroom, shared bathroom on the floor and shared shower on the floor. Spent $20 more that day on a major chain hotel, this place should have been cheaper!

Plussat: Cheaper than others

Miinukset: Essentially everything else

Plussat: Good location.

Miinukset: Small. Bathrooms are community. Have to pay everything cash.

Plussat: I had a great experience staying here. Sure, it's not a Ritz Carlton or anything, but if you're looking for a simple, cheap place to stay while enjoying the city, this is it. Room was clean and I had a microwave and fridge for my food (huge plus if you're trying to save money). Wifi was surprisingly fast (not what I expected). Lastly, location is excellent. You're not far from Bart; several bus routes are within a 5 min walk; and there are plenty of attractions nearby.

Plussat: I did my research and this was the only affordable option for me. The bathrooms are not in the room. And I brought a waterproof zippered sheet, as well as my own sheet/blanket. Soap and towels for my room and when I showered. As well as shower shoes. It was a bit scary staying alone but I managed just fine and no one bothered me. If you are staying in summer just know the windows have no screens and there are mosquitoes. I also brought a sleepmask and earplugs. With all these I felt much more comfortable and slept well.

Miinukset: The place is advertised as a hotel but it is actally a hostel with communal bathrooms and showers.

Plussat: Microwave and mini fridge in room.

Miinukset: Tiny rooms, shared bathrooms, rude staff, NO parking, mosquitos everywhere and ready to bite the hell out of you.. Beware!

Miinukset: Room was very tiny. Too expensive for sharing bathroom room. No heat control in room. Rooms are very old. Doesn't look like pictures at all.

Plussat: Everything was cleaner than I expected, bed, floor, shower, etc.

Miinukset: The freshness of the room

Plussat: The room is small but love the view and the staff is friendly.

Miinukset: Share bathroom with other visitors and there no hotel packing.

Plussat: I was able to book the room for the day I needed it, which was unlikely given that I was looking to stay in SanFran at the last minute.

Miinukset: I wouldn't stay here again if I got a free voucher. When booking, because I booked through a third party (booking.com), the hotel staff seemed to have problems confirming the reservation. Actually checking in took close to thirty minutes, which is excessive. The room ran around $170.00 for a single night stay when no events were going on in the city (on a Wednesday night, nonetheless) - which is a bit ridiculous, even for last minute reservations. The hotel had a 3 star rating on Google. I experienced 1 star service - from checking in, where several of my questions were outright ignored, to checking out - which required no identity verification at all. My group of friends and I arrived at the hotel around 3 AM (after having checked in around 9 PM and exploring the city a bit). First, the doors were locked and we had to knock on the glass to get the attention of the security guard. He would not open the door unless we showed him BOTH our state ID cards AND our room key. He explained to us that when we checked in, they only took my girlfriend and my ID, so only we were allowed to enter the hotel. This posed a problem as our friends were planning on staying in our room for several more hours. I asked if I could speak to the manager, after they refused our friends entry. The manager, in no uncertain tone of voice, told me that it was hotel policy and that the security guard had explained everything relevant already. In this particular event, my friends had had several drinks and were incapable of driving, so I was hoping they could sober up for a few hours in my room. I explained this and that they had nowhere else to go for the night to sober up, and the manager said she didn't care. I asked if I could pay a fee to allow visitors and was denied. I asked if I could book another room for them, because other than sleeping in their car (in downtown San Francisco as inebriated out of towners) they had nowhere to go. The manager said roughly the following: "There are no visitors past 10 PM period. This hotel is closed for the night, so I will not book anymore rooms for you. We open at 6 AM, and if you return then, I might attempt to book another room for you at full cost if we have any available, which I find unlikely." Ultimately, my friends and I wondered around the city for 3 or so hours until the hotel "opened" at 6 AM, at which point we all walked up to my room to rest. I was also told there was a complimentary breakfast, which was not laid out from that point until I checked out at 11:30 AM. When we got to the room, there was no air conditioning and the rooms were at a balmy / humid 90 degrees and up. We had to rely on an open window that the four of us huddled around for fresh air. The room had a single lamp, a 12 inch or so TV, two beds, and a sink. The toilet and shower (if that's what they can be called) existed on a shared basis - one each per floor.

Miinukset: Community bathrooms

Plussat: The position is superb being so close to both Chinatown & Little Italy. The staff were helpful when called upon. It was good value for money

Miinukset: If you get a room on the outside it's great if you end up in one of the smaller rooms facing inwards it's a very different experience. The latter are very small & noisier that those on the street. However the staff changed our room without any quibble & were most helpful

Plussat: This is a low budget hotel that is conveniently located, Rooms are tiny, shared bathrooms, all reasonably clean. internet worked in my guest room.

Plussat: its location

Miinukset: the fact that you can't have visitors after 10 PM... especially when you're on holiday...

Plussat: Great location. Rooms are very nice.

Miinukset: Front desk woman still gives me the cold shoulder. Not happy to check me in. Owners need to look into re-hiring front desk staff.

Plussat: The hotel was very clean and in a good location... close to a lot of restaurants and attractions. Even though I had a single room with shared shower and toilets, they were always available and clean.

Miinukset: I had to wait till 3 pm to check in.

Plussat: price

Miinukset: Too narrow

Plussat: Sijainti, hinta, hyvää kiinalaista ruokaa vieressä. Suurempia ongelmia ei ollut, puuttuvat pyyhkeet ja nettitunnukset sai pyydettäessä.

Miinukset: Vessa ja suihku käytävällä, käteisenä vaadittava deposit. USA-standardilla pieni huone.

Plussat: Price

Miinukset: Deposit and strange rules about visitors, also could not find my reservation as someone switched names to "Todd, brian instead of Brian Todd!!

Plussat: Nothing to complain over!! The staff was wonderful and everything great

Miinukset: Nothing, honestly and we stayed for 8 days

Plussat: The room were big (2 double beds) and comfortable and really clean, same for the sharing shower!

Miinukset: The room faced the street and was really really noisy.....

Plussat: This hotel is perfectly located, the employees are very kind and the ratio quality/price is very good.

Miinukset: The rooms (at least my) are small, simple and noisy.

Plussat: It was more spacious that I expected, especially for SF. They even had a walk-in closet. The beds and bathroom were pretty clean. We didn't find any bed bugs and we didn't leave with any bites. The rooms have heaters, but they are quite noisy.

Miinukset: Staff were very rude. They closed the front lobby door after a certain time. I had to knock and stare at them as they walked over to open the door for me. Rooms were very cold and heard lots of noise from street. Also no one ever picked up when I called the lobby.
