A return stay to the OMNI SF since pre-pandemic days and it was nice to see the same level of quality service: friendly staff from the doorman, front desk, restaurant, and especially housekeeping, all of whom me feel very welcomed. I also appreciated the coffee in the morning and evening, and apples throughout the day in the reception area. I chose the OMNI for its location - walking distance to many tourist attractions for down times (Embarcadero, Ferry Terminal, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown etc), as well as work in the financial district. Had a lovely stay.

A lovely stay in a beautiful location! The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, and a short walk from Dolores Park, a BART station, and the dining and retail on Castro. The apartment itself is amazing! We were immediately pleasantly surprised by how high the ceilings are, as it's not apparant in the photos of the space. The fixtures, appliances, and furniture is all new and quality, and the space includes a few real luxuries - I didn't know I wanted a heated bathroom floor, but I want one now! In general, the details reflect how much the hosts love the space and want to share their affection - be sure to turn on the backlit wall in the bedroom, as it's a unique feature.

    The shower was great, very modern and powerful. The location was ideal for Chinese town and not too far to get taxi to pier for Alcatraz so was quite cheap. You can walk but it was very early when we left and had to be there at 8am. Bed was super comfy and there was a coffee maker in the room

    I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It’s in such a good location that feels very safe and is close to lots of good pubs/restaurants as well as lots of beautiful walking paths with ideal views of the city, Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz island. The staff were all really friendly and the rooms were very clean.

    It suited our budget. Excellent location...easy walk to Fishermans Wharf and Peir 39 and close to restaurants and bars on Columbus. Good public transport links. Hotel itself is old and the room we were in was small, but it was clean and comfortable. The shared amenities were spotlessly clean with plenty of liquid soap,shampoo, etc. The Reception staff were friendly and helpful. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and if visiting San Francisco again, would happily stay at the San Remo again.
