Multiple reviews explicitly state rooms were clean and well looked after; housekeeping praised and several guests described rooms as tidy and comfortable.

8
Service is mixed but generally positive: several guests call staff helpful and accommodating, though one review noted staff felt unenthusiastic; overall service considered solid for the hotel tier.
Location
8.4
Location frequently praised for being close to Union Square and good for sightseeing, but multiple comments warn about proximity to the Tenderloin and evening safety concerns; overall convenient but with caveats.
Room Quality
6.5
Rooms vary: some guests had spacious, relaxing rooms while many mention very small rooms, thin walls and noise issues — size and soundproofing are clear negatives.

Amenities are basic: breakfast is continental and limited (no hot options), communal areas described as dated, and there was at least one complaint about unclear parking information.
Value for Money
8
Several reviews explicitly call the hotel good value for money and suitable as a base for a city break; positive comments on location and cleanliness support a strong value rating.

Overall stays are described as pleasant and better than expected by several guests, with clean comfortable rooms and helpful staff; isolated negative experiences (location concerns, one very bad stay) exist but do not dominate.

Prima hotel maar de ligging is niet top
Pros:

Het hotel is prima, we hadden een ruime kamer die netjes was.

Cons:

Het hotel is gelegen op de grens met Tenderloin, een van de slechtste wijken van San Francisco. Overdag zul je wat zwervers en verslaafde zien, maar in de avond is het er echt onveilig en onprettig zeker met kinderen.

Pros:

Room was beautiful and clean and felt relaxing from the moment we opened the door.

Cons:

I know we all are dealing with our life stuff and as someone who works in service it’s hard. Walking in, nothing felt like not an exciting place to stay, especially from the staff. And I loved my room and my stay. So more pride in the place I would have gone a long way.

Great location and place to use as a base. Continental breakfast offers a good selection and great start to the day. Cof
Pros:

Location was close to Union Square, great for sightseeing and experiencing San Francisco.

Cons:

Sound proofing on rooms not sufficient to enjoy a good nights sleep. Could hear conversations and alarms in the room next door.
