The Pontiac Hotel & Hostel  

Sanitäre Anlagen Preis / Leistung passen nicht

Abgesehen davon, dass das Hotel alt und heruntergekommen ist, war die Nachbarschaft eine richtige Zumutung. Wir waren zwei Nächte dort, und jede Nacht haben rund um die Uhr Obdachlose vor dem Hotel lautstark ihr Unwesen getrieben. Bei allem Verständnis, aber es war unmöglich auch nur ein Auge zuzumachen.

Für amerikanische Verhältnisse ein sehr ausgewogenes Frühstück. Das freundliche Personal hat alles sofort wieder aufgefüllt. Die Mitarbeiter insgesamt waren nett und haben gerne geholfen. Insgesamt herrschte ein Hostel-Feeling.

Zwei Duschen & Toiletten pro Etage - die leider meist besetzt und manchmal nicht abschließbar waren. Das Zimmer war sehr klein und das Zimmerschloss war bei uns leider kaputt (sehr schwer abschließbar)! Die Lage des Hotels ist zwar zentral, jedoch mitten in einem "Problemviertel" (sehr viele Junkies und Obdachlose). Dazu muss gesagt werden, dass wir einen Tag vor Check-In gebucht haben und dies das günstigste noch freie Hotel war ;-) Anderen Reisenden würde ich empfehlen: andere Lage, ein paar Tage früher buchen!

Die bagels zum frühstück...

Die Lage im obdachlosenviertel, die kaum vorhandenen sanitären Einrichtungen und das Mini-Bett für zwei Personen (1,2 bis 1,4 Meter)

Sehr nette Betreiber des Hotels und ein, für amerikanische Verhältnisse, super Frühstück.

Zimmer sehr klein und ohne Waschbecken. Wartezeit an der Dusche und die Sauberkeit ist naja. Die Lage des Hotels in einem Obdachlosenviertel ist nicht jedermanns Sache.

günstige Lage

Begriff Hotel nicht angemessen, eher Pennerwohnheim. Unter deutschen Hygienestandard und selbst für ein Hostel noch zu teuer. Verpflegung mit Pappgeschirr war ganz ok. Kriminelles Viertel und sehr schmutzig

Hotel befindet sich nahe am Zentrum.

Das Hotel liegt nach unserem Ermessen in einem armen und stark verkommenen Viertel. Abends haben wir darauf geachtet, dass wir noch vor Sonnenuntergang im Hotel waren oder bereits wieder im Stadtzentrum. Wir haben uns sehr unwohl und unsicher Gefühlt.

zentral, nahe bus station (kamen mit dem zug bzw. dann mit bus bis shopping center, market/6th), wifi (am besten in der cafeteria, in zimmern schwach), frühstück für US-verhältnsisse sehr gut (richtiges brot!)

viele bettler und zwielichtige gestalten - wie NYC in den 70/80ern - nicht bedrohlich aber unangenehm, wir sind allerdings auch immer im hellen zurückgekommen

The room was not dirty

Awful location, rude staff, minuscule towels, soap that smelled like pool chlorine, awful location, eerie hallways, stiff beds, prison style bathrooms, awful location

The warmth and friendliness of the staff and owners. They were making improvements in the lobby when I was there and they were definitely going to be attractive.

Close to downtown.

Good for hippies.

Location. Very nice staff. Elevator (if u have a big luggage).

There is no sink in the room. The restroom was small.

location if you are ok with crack/homeless round the corner this is a very good deal, very friendly staff

location

Friendly Staff

Took forever for hot water to come on during a shower.

Late check in was easy and hassle free

Fair price. Also, the front desk staff was very nice.

I could hear everything around me as if were sleeping in the street. I was woken up multiple times by people both inside and outside of the hotel. It sounded like the window was open and they were right next to it. I finally fell back asleep and was woken again at about 8 or 9am when the staff came to clean the bathroom, loudly, that my room happened to be next to. When I brought it up to the person at the front desk upon checkout I was told they shouldn't have started cleaning that early sine checkout is at 11am. Needless to say, I had an awful night's sleep and had I known it would have been like that, I would have gladly paid double to stay elsewhere. I requested a partial refund when I left and am waiting to hear back.

the free breakfast

wired people near the hotel

Well it was cheap, clean, and nice employees.

the room didn't have a restroom, but I survived. Also not their fault just stating what I did not like.

The location is very good for me to go to GDC in moscone center,and it is clean enough

The room is small, but to the money cost on it , it is fair enough. But we can not

Very nice people. Very well sanitized. Totally better than its expect in the budget.

Location was not the best. But good enough if you are not in the honeymoon or being with very old/weak persons. Usually, middle part of San Francisco is very expensive to stay in 4 o r 5 stars hotels.

The moment I left!

That I ever booked this Hotel

The night clerk, Mary, was exceptionally thoughtful and helpful.

The neighborhood. Late at night, someone outside began yelling for a while - and, again, early in the morning. Since it was a narrow alley with buildings on either side, the noise echoed.

Everything. Friendly service. Great location. Good breakfast. Perfect price. I was traveling with my infant daughter and we were placed nice and away from everything so that other guest or ourselves were bothered too much. PERFECT!

One street over was kind of seedy but it didn't interfere with the hotel at all. Just going to and from.

Location close to the Concourse.

They double charged me and ruined my vacation. The receptionist charged my room twice and then said she couldn't fix it because the boss was unavailable. We are young backpackers and we were counting on $320 missing from our account after being double charged. San Francisco is not a very fun place with no money and we didn't get our money until we had already returned home. This was a horrible disappointment. From what my bank said all the hotel needed was to give the authorization number to my bank and they could undo the charge but this was unavailable because the boss did not allow his receptionist access to transaction files.

Well located, room clean, Staff very kind, cheap

The heater broke down so we had a cOld room all nIght. The bath room was ok but someone threw uP in the sink, but someone frOm the hotel cleaned it quickly
