Upon arrival we rang the bell but no one opened the door; at that point we called the hotel but no one answered. At that point we were left waiting with our suitcases on the sidewalk and finally we took advantage of other guests coming out to gain entry. So we discovered that the hotel does not have an elevator and the stairs are very steep. When we arrived on the first floor, where the reception is located, there was a woman of a certain age checking us in who said she hadn't heard. On the third floor, where our room was located, there was a very bad smell in the corridor, like a canteen (even though the hotel does not offer any kitchen service) which filtered under the door and entered the room. Really unpleasant. The second day our room was not cleaned, the first day it was. When we asked for explanations they blamed us, saying that we had to put a note on the door, something they hadn't done the previous day when the room had been cleaned for us and which in any case no one had informed us about at check-in. Finally, our room had a faulty lock and on the last evening we were unable to enter. Given all this, I feel it is not good value for money at all, I wouldn't stay here again and wouldn't recommend it, even though the location is good. Rooms: Small but comfortable. The carpet stinks. Food & drinks: Not present Noteworthy details: No elevator, steep stairs. Bad smell

Stayed here for a conference. This hotel came up in the exact area I wanted to be and the price/location were both good. This hotel is not what you want, if luxury accommodations are what you need. This hotel is more like a great place for single travel when you want a quiet and convenient location. While staying here I never saw or heard but maybe one other guest, even though the hotel was fully booked. If you stay in the front of the building, you will hear some street noise and night life but honestly I like that so it was welcoming background noise while asleep. Rooms: Room was on the smaller side but they are well equipped. Shower produced nice hot water and ample toiletries were provided. There is another reviewer who mentioned a mouse and this was a concern, when booking but I never saw any trace/sign of rodents. Albeit a risk in any city (mice or rats) this hotel has devices in the rooms to ward of any such creatures and they clearly worked. Safety: All though this city is clearly struggling with homeless camps, those are neither in this area or a concern while walking around. I walked from the hotel to Golden gate bridge as well as into downtown and never felt unsafe. Walkability: Very walkable area, if you are a healthy individual which is accustom to walking or exercise in general, you'll have no problem getting anywhere you wish to go. I didn't even text a car, during this trip. Bart from the airport only took about 30 min and the walk to hotel only about 10 min or so Noteworthy details: The stairs and lobby area smell like musty old garlic, likely due to the proximity of the restaurant next door but isn't as bad in the room. Last but certainly not least, the staff was super friendly and more helpful than most big chain hotels I've ever stayed. There is no a/c in the rooms but that's no so important in the city, given annual temperature and fact that all rooms have heaters, fans, and large windows to open fire a breeze.
