Descent hotel in downtown SFO.
Pros:

It’s in Downtown and easily accessible to major locations.
Breakfast was good.

Cons:

The initial room given was not good, there was no exhaust/ventilation fan in the bathroom. After asking to change the room we were told they cannot change.
After talking to Booking customer service (which took 2 hrs of time) they gave another room.

Friendly staff made it better!
Pros:

The hotel is great and very centrally located, the staff was amazing and really went above and beyond. Specially Franky, the warm smile and friendly personality definitely makes every day better. I must say, breakfast did started very slow, one morning I could no longer wait for my meal, had to leave without eating, but the other mornings this was corrected and breakfast arrived promptly.

Excellent modern hotel - historic building
Pros:

Spent two nights here at the end of a family vacation - had a fantastic experience. Staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, especially Amarion at the front desk. Very cool historic building with character, food and drink in the lobby bar were very good. Unbeatable location. Rooms were large, clean and comfortable, beds very good. Better value than other Hilton properties nearby IMO.

Amazing Hospitality
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at The Barnes Hotel in San Francisco! We usually stay at a larger hotel across the street, but this time we wanted to try something a little different. The smaller size of the hotel gave it a more cozy and intimate feel, which made our trip even more enjoyable.

The daily hotel credit was a fantastic perk we used it every day to grab snacks, which was such a nice bonus during our stay.

A special thank you to Latoya, who was incredibly sweet and friendly throughout our trip. We spoke with her often, and she recommended a sushi restaurant that ended up being amazing super fresh and absolutely delicious!

Omarion was also wonderful, always happy to answer our questions and provide great recommendations. Frankie at the front desk was very kind and helpful, suggesting several great places for us to visit around the city.

Robert, the security officer, made us feel especially welcome. He greeted us every day when we were leaving and returning to the hotel, and one evening he kindly brought us extra blankets and pillows when we requested them.

Angelica was always so warm and friendly, greeting us with a smile every time we came in or left the hotel.

The entire staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their kindness and hospitality truly stood out and made our stay memorable. We had a great time and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend The Barnes Hotel to anyone visiting San Francisco!

合理的、機能的な宿
Pros:

バス停、ケーブルカー乗り場が近い。ユニオンスクエアに(卓球やチェス(昼のみ))がボランティアによって設置されており楽しかったが、そこに近くて良かった。ロビーのカフェインフリーのカモミールティーが良かった。ワインボトルをスーパーで買ったがワインオープナーがなかったが、レストランの店員が親切に開けてくれて助かった。バスタブ。熱いお湯をためて入ったら疲れがとれた。

Cons:

シャワーの温度調整が難しい。金曜日は外がうるさい。(外を走っている車のスピーカー？)

A historical building, great location and nice staff.
Pros:

The staff from this hotel were really nice and friendly. It is an older building with lots of character, it has a small restaurant bar at front with live music on Thursdays. The rooms are small but charming, I would stay here again. Great location just half a block from Union Square, the subway is nearby and lots of stores and restaurants within walking distance.

Downtown San Francisco Quality Hotel
Pros:

The tapestry collection of hotels in the Hilton portfolio is usually pretty darn good. This hotel is no different.

The rooms are nice, the location is perfect, everything you would want in Hilton Hotel.

What sets this hotel out above everything else is the customer service. I interacted with housekeeping and they were great. Amarion he is one of the best front desk staff that I have encountered in all my travels. Saw me in the hall and called me by name. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast this morning let alone somebody’s name I met. What a valuable employee! He helped me on check-in and has answered various questions as part of my stay.

I highly recommend this hotel.
