The Powell Hotel  

Good location

Bad smell in corridors. Breakfast only drinks and cake. Continental!!!

The location is great (if you can handle the noise of the trolly turn around). Also, it is cheaper than many of the other San Francisco hotels. I confronted them about recent posts about bed bugs and they reassured me it had been taken care of. In addition I checked for them and their word was correct.

The staff had very poor communication skills, and did not feel very professional. My bathroom was not very clean, and there were no extra amenities to the hotel. It is a budget hotel, but for "budget", they mean budget. If you are a college student, or need a fast hotel, I recommend staying here, but not if you are looking for a nice, or semi- nice hotel in the city.

Admin staff was very friendly. Cleaning of the room was done at everyday as well as cleaning staff was good

There was continuous outside noise (Not traffic noice but some machine noise at every 10 mins) which was very disturbing at day time as well as night.

Fantastic, you can back to the past just open hotel door.

Friendly and helpful staff. Loved the option of having a room with two twin beds. Perfect for a girlfriend night out in the City. Could see this as a good option for families if any of them adjoin larger rooms. Room was clean.

Heat went off at 11:00 pm for the night (but the staff did bring us extra blankets when we got cold). I would have liked to have a hair dryer in the room. The key cards were a bit difficult to get in and out of the lock slots.

Good service and good place. Near to bus, Bart and cable car. Just one minutes far to the shopping center.

The condition is really bad, and the room is very small. In winter, it is cold.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Although we didn't take advantage of it, the breakfast is a good deal. The free happy hour was excellent and we've been telling our friends about that.

Location was excellent...

The sounds from Forever21 which shares the wall was very loud till 10pm... Not recommended to stay there to relax... I stay there just because for the location for shopping and it worked out. As far as parking, you almost have to use Valet parking since it's so hard to find parking near by... Also the room I originally booked was not ready at 2:30pm(check in 2pm), and I was told the room wouldn't b ready for another 40-45mins... We settled with 2 single beds room instead of 2 twin beds room...

i loved romy at the front desk and all the other staff. The location is perfect.The citylife around is buzzing.

Location! My friends and I stayed at The Powell for a weekend getaway. Their room overlooked the cable car turn around and they said it was noisy. Our room was an interior room overlooking a courtyard and it was perfect. Our room was a mini-suite so it was a good size for being an old hotel. It was right in the middle of all major shopping. I will stay there again.

We like the location the most. The design of the hotel was pretty cool but it was cold and we could figure out how to turn the heat on. Other than that our stay at the Powell was great and I would definitely stay there again.

From the moment I checked in, the staff were very kind. Before I reached the assigned room, hotel were offering snacks in the lounge floor Mezzanie. The room and overall cleanliness was number one priority for the hotel. Doubled checked if additional housekeeping services or requests would be needed for the guest. They also provided happy hour and continental breakfast. Overrall, it provided a sense of history, family oriented staffs and great location of San Francisco.
