Overall, it was a comfortable stay that matched the hotel’s personality, with a few disappointments.
Pros:

Hotel Julian was exactly what I expected: charming, a little worn in the best way, and full of the character you’d expect from an older building. The staff were great — local, kind, and genuinely welcoming. My room was small, funky, and nicely updated, though it was a bit noisy, which also felt pretty in keeping with the building.

Cons:

One downside was that the room did not have a safe. I was also disappointed that the restaurant and bar, Carlotta’s, was closed because it’s apparently seasonal, since one of the reasons I chose this hotel was for the restaurant. It would have been helpful if the hotel and Booking.com had made that clear in advance rather than implying the hotel had a restaurant available.

Good location- go to hotel for San Francisco
Pros:

We’ve been to this hotel twice now and pro tip: recommend a room far from the elevator. The elevator is older and louder so if your room is next to it, it might be loud. This trip we were on the 7th floor and it was much more enjoyable. The room was not facing the street and it was more quiet. Hotel Julian is a great hotel that’s safe and worth a stay!

Cons:

the type of room you order is very important. I recommend the executive rooms. They are on a higher floor not street facing and they are a bit nicer

Pros:

Room was big & clean and staff were helpful and friendly. AC in room. Location was okay ish. Walked to the main tourist attractions.

Cons:

Very close to the Tenderloin so homeless presence was very noticeable. Wouldn't recommend walking around the area after sunset. But for a 2 day stay it was okay. Would choose a different area next time.
