Hotel is awesome! USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND GET DROPPED OFF AT THE SITE - DO NOT PARK AND WALK
Pros:

The room was so unique and fun! We loved the feeling of the hotel and the unique qualities. The lobby was also modern and fun but in a noticeably historic building.

Cons:

Our huge issue with this property was the lack of parking available on site. We had to park a few blocks away and walk. We walk all the time, this was not a problem. The neighborhood was not safe to walk with two young girls and myself. There were people blowing smoking weed and blowing the smoke intentionally at my daughters. One man also took his pants off right in front of my 9 year old. She said "everything was ok until I saw the Butt!"

What a great place to Stay, clean, convinient, value for money with Breakfast
Pros:

The Location was great and with breakfast, the lounge was great as well, the location is very easy to go with, public transportation was just in front of the hotel and most of all it seems the location was safe to stay compared to Europa Hotel, please do not attemt to stay there its sketch neighborhood and the place is filty and smells weeds inside the building, we did not even last for 20 mins and needed to cancel our booking

Cons:

the room was so cramped and small for three person, the place was great and clean but the bed configurations and the size of the room is so small to move arround even for two person

Neat and clean and a bit fun. A little more like a fancy hostel than hotel.
Pros:

Room was well appointed with good quality furnishings, the fold up bed was good, and plenty of power outlets. View was great down towards the Civic Centre.
Breakfast was included.
Location, location, location. It is SO central. The train is 1 minute walk away, the beautiful Civic Centre is over the road. I spent a lot of time at conferences in the Moscone Centre and it is a short scooter ride or a pleasant walk away. Ubers can drop you off almost at the front door and the people were really friendly.
Great to hear so many different languages in one place during breakfast - and especially the excitement with World Cup matches happening around the USA.

Cons:

The room was good, but very tight. I stayed for a week and felt locked in a little and I was just me. It would have OK for 1 , 2 or maybe 3 nights, but it would have been tough with 2 people.
Breakfast was light and very sugar/carb heavy and very much a need to get in early or you miss out.
One lift was not working when I arrived, and the following day the other lift broke down so I had to use the stairs from LEvel 9 and this proved tough and changed what I did in the day.

Clean hotel, friendly staff. My new home away from home. I stay here weekly now.
Pros:

I had a great stay at YOTEL San Francisco. It’s clear that the hotel is well managed, and I’d especially like to recognize the General Manager, Paige. Her leadership is reflected in the overall guest experience, and it didn’t go unnoticed.

The rooms are clean, modern, and have all the basics you need. They’re not huge rooms where you’re going to throw a party, but that’s not the point. If you’re in town and just need a clean, comfortable place to sleep, this hotel is a great option.

The location is another big plus. It’s directly across the street from the Civic Center BART station, making it easy to get around San Francisco without a car. You’re also close to plenty of restaurants, attractions, and everything the city has to offer.

If you’re looking for a clean, convenient place to stay with easy access to the city, I’d definitely recommend YOTEL.

Small but mighty!
Pros:

Loved the room and facilities. My airline lost my luggage and the staff were very helpful with checking me in late, providing me with some essential toiletries, and receiving my bag from a courier the next day.

The room is small but very well thought out. I will definitely stay here again.

Cons:

Would have loved a small fridge in the room. The location is good in terms of public transit, but it was pretty loud at night. This neighborhood is a little bit rough, so be prepared for that.

Hotel room is great! Smash bed. We got upgraded to Suite but EXTREMELY SMALL ROOM!!
Pros:

Hotel room was grande!
Staff who assisted me did not seem well trained at all.
What annoyed me was hidden fees!
$75 deposit per night! Fees I was never told about.
Stayed there 3 nights,so am extra $225 I my total. Plus, I had to wait for 4 days to get deposit refunded!
Was told online we could check in early. Checkin is normally 3pm. Also, another hidden fee, there was an extra $50 for really Checkin! Which we were Newberg told about!
So they got us for an extra $3 00 on hidden fees!

Cons:

Hotel was wag right across the street from literally 100 or more homeless who loved to party, shoot up and smoke out ALL NIGHT LONG!!!
Sidewalk was there bathroom.
We had a magnificent view of all this from our hotel room.

Honeymoon in San Francisco
Pros:

We stayed here during our honeymoon, and it was an amazing experience. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful stay.

We had a small issue during our visit, but Mark handled it promptly and professionally. His kindness, dedication, and genuine care for his guests really stood out and made us feel well looked after.

A special thank you also to the housekeeping team and to the houseman, John, for their hard work and attention to detail. We would be delighted to stay here again!
