Pros:

The room was clean. The breakfast was a simple snack in the hallway, not great, but you get what you paid for. The location is a but sketchy due to the fast that there are many homeless that are around the area. It is semi safe since the front door requires an access key to enter.

Cons:

I didn’t like that the breakfast option is misleading.

Great place that is improving a lot, and will plan to stay again for Dore.
Pros:

The hotel is going thru a renovation, paint tape on walls and you can tell a lot is new and some is old. When done this has the potential to be a great property. The staff is easy to get ahold of and the very friendly. The landing water and snack station is great, used it more then once when running out the door.

Cons:

The fans and cooling in the room needs to be a little improved. The fan was broken in my room and would move air but would not isolate. Fan still cooled the room, but it was just slower then it could have been. Some rooms apparently have windows fan and heater combo, others only have heaters. Mine just had a heater. A simple windows fan in every room would have solved all my issues. Also I would add a sheer curtain so I can have airflow but some privacy instead of closing the heavy curtains.

Good, nice, comforting, would go again
Pros:

People were so nice I felt like I was at home

Cons:

Just the location, getting there was iffy because the homeless but everything was amazing. Not the hotels fault for the location, just the cities.

Zona centrale e sicura, buono come ostello ma non come hotel
Pros:

La zona é sicura e centrale. Chi segnala di aver percepito pericolo probabilmente non é mai stato in una metropoli nella sua vita.

Cons:

L’annuncio é un po’ illusorio parlando di hotel: si tratta di un ostello a tutti gli effetti, con bagni condivisi e senza servizi. Il personale alla reception c’è poche ore al giorno (anche se molto gentile e pronto ad aiutare quando presente). Segnalo che avevamo un soggiorno con colazione inclusa, ma la prima mattina non sono stati in grado di fornircela perché era il primo dell’anno. Presumo che in molte altre festività possa succedere lo stesso, e contando che le festività sono i periodi in cui la gente si sposta… beh direi che non é il massimo.

Pros:

Excellent place to stay if you need something affordable in the area. The store across the street does run loud music untill around 10PM, but it quiets down after that. The cafe downstairs has great breakfast food at reasonable prices. Property was quite clean.

Pros:

The reservation said the lobby wasn’t staffed after 5. I showed up at 4:10p and the place is locked up. I called the number on the door and the lady had me open the lockbox to get the key. There is no key in the lockbox. She offers me a room in another part of town. I decline. She says they are charging my card anyway because I declined the room on a totally different property. Meanwhile I’m out on the street alone surrounded by a very sketchy crowd of people so I quickly ended the call and left. Ugh.

Excellent stay at a very reasonable price, well exceeding my expectations.
Pros:

Excellent stay at a very reasonable price. I stayed here for three months -- I had not expected such a spacious and comfortable room given the central location.

Large fridge+freezer in the room, clean and well-equipped common kitchen, full-blinding curtains (They're sliding wooden blinds), the whole place is kept really clean and tidy.

Superb
Pros:

Overall the rooms are exactly what you need, and of high quality. Fridge, large new TV, comfortable bed, and spacious enough for my long term stay. Feels like an in between Hotel & hostel experience, with only private rooms. The shared bathroom and showers were clean every single time I used for all 30 days of my stay, cleaned daily by housekeeping. Kitchen was also cleaned by housekeeping and in good shape. Host was responsive and kind.

The location is out of their control, however within 6 mins of walking you are in a much better area of SF. No crime or anything i witnessed or experienced, just high number of homeless shelters on the street. Large police presence however as well so felt safe.
