The hotel has a lot of character and is very clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The internet connection was a little bit of a problem, but everything else was great and I recommend this hotel to anyone who like to explore the City. Great location in walking distance to Union Square, China Town and financial district.

The property was fun and quirky. Just wish they had air conditioning in the rooms or at least allowed us to open a window. Staff was friendly and the free breakfast was good.

This hotel is walking distance to Chinatown and during the day, felt safe enough. But the walls are very thin! You can hear people walking and other things...I was surprised to see a few kids staying there considering how thin the walls are. The beds, floors, appliances...everything looks very old. Shabby chic? Nice breakfast included with the stay and friendly staff.

Couldn't fault.
Our fifth visit to SF and an excellent hotel. Rooms, like most of the older buildings are slightly smaller than most US hotels/motels (but similar to UK or Europe rooms). Service was A M A Z I N G. From Claire (?) on the front desk to housekeeping and the gentleman on breakfast. Each and everyone was genuinely passionate about our stay and service. WiFi was good. Breakfast was excellent with bacon, sausage and egg + pastries and bread (weirdly no cereal). Area was good in location - handy for Union Sq, but without the noise. Coffee, water available in foyer and room. Room and hotel in great condition. A++

The hotel has a great story behind how it came to have the decor and into the current ownership. It was really convenient for all the sights and public transport. Staff were friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough. Breakfast was included and was good.

Love the old world charm,wasn't too thrilled with the slow draining sink or the broken toilet seat. Breakfast was delicious, but would have been better if they had a variety of tea or even an English Breakfast tea for those of us in need of a little caffeine .
