Great location, breakfast, and wine hour!
Pros:

I’ve stayed here many times over the years and it’s a great location, across from the iconic SF Chinatown gate and near Union Square, Chinatown, and the financial district. There’s lots of small hotels like this in SF but the coffee and continental breakfast as well as the daily wine hour along with helpful staff make the Triton stand out, especially at its price point. Thank you especially to Tony for his patience and helpfulness during this most recent stay!

I come back weekly and tell everyone about you
Pros:

The staff, the breakfast and happy hour! The staff is so nice!

Cons:

There seems to be a ticking sound in the pipes or system because all day and night long you hear a little knocking within the walls and I think it’s the plumbing system. My colleague heard it as well.

Plutôt bien
Pros:

Hôtel plutôt classique mais plutôt bien

Cons:

Il était indiqué que le petit dej était compris, en fait ne vous attendez pas à un vrai petit dej ! C’est même dingue qu’ils considèrent 3 gâteaux comme un petit dej

Pros:

Sehr gute Lage

Cons:

Wir haben ein Zimmer für drei Personen gebucht und nur ein Zimmer mit einem Doppelbett bekommen auf Nachfrage konnte uns keine alternative für die erste Nacht angeboten werden!! (Kein Beistellbett, kein Zimmer wie gebucht mit zwei Doppelbetten) also musste einer von uns am Boden schlafen
Antwort vom Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption ist für diese Nacht so. Im Nachgang wollten wir zumindest irgendein entgegenkommen von Seiten der Unterkunft aber selbst mithilfe von Booking konnte keine Einigung erzielt werden.

Danke an Booking für die Hilfe aber das Verhalten vom Hotel ist äußerst bedenklich
Kundenzufriedenheit ist ein Fremdwort für dieses Hotel 👎

We had a great two night stay for a concert in the city. Location right next to the entrance to Chinatown, walking dista
Pros:

Beds and pillows were extremely comfortable, room was clean and quiet (on the 6th floor), and there was a water dispenser on our floor. Every hotel should have this! The lobby is beautiful and lively and always smells good. The staff is very friendly.

Cons:

The only thing was the AC unit in our room was a little inconsistent.

Good for city exploring
Pros:

Small rooms but clean and comfortable, great location directly outside the Chinatown gates. Friendly staff. Would recommend for a couple wandering around the city.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit sparse, they said it would be continental but all they had were coffee and chips ahoy muffins. They let us keep our bags after check out but only for 4 hours for some reason.

Dog Friendly Boutique Hotel
Pros:

Prime location near Union Square and across from the entrance to Chinatown. Only one staff employee at reception (Saba who was extremely friendly) handling both registration and phone calls. Early check-in is available for $30.

The hotel is dog friendly. During my one day stay I saw as many as 10 different dogs going through the lobby. Dog treats offered at the door. Valet parking available for $65 per day. And there's complimentary wine available at 6pm.
The continental breakfast is simple. Includes coffee, orange juice and mini-muffins. The hotel needs to improve this. However the restaurant next door offers a 15% discount for hotel guests.

My wife and I stayed in room 414, a king size bed with a view of Grant Street. Being close to the street there is some traffic noise.
The room was very comfortable, cozy and clean. Good water pressure with eucalyptus shampoo and body soap which I extremely enjoyed.
I have a complaint about the bathroom door, which opens inward. This made it very difficult to get it. I had to step into the shower inorder to close the door. Water and ice located on the 6th floor. There are two elevators which hold around 4-6 guests depending upon luggage. So there can be a wait for service.
Overall our stay was pleasant and enjoyable. I would stay here again and I do recommend the Triton Hotel.
Thanks for reading my review. rg-
