Hot des Arts is just the kind of place that I like to stay in when traveling abroad; Great location, (downtown & close to amenities, attractions & public transportation), great/relaxed atmosphere, (artist-inspired, “designy”, friendly/helpful staff, clean), and reasonably priced. I’ve stayed there in the past, enjoyed my recent stay & plan on returning in the future!

Every room plus the lobby is decorated with paintings by a different artist. The place has an art school vibe to it. Quite a unique place to stay. Staff was very nice and helpful. The location is really in the center of the Union Square area. The building is old but retains a lot of the original charm. Hallways feature artists works as well.

CC is the best...always working to accommodate guest requests whenever possible with one of the rare upbeat genuine positive friendly personalities second to none. Hector is equally as friendly accommodating and hard working. I look forward to seeing them both on our next stay. All of this even when challenged with a new booking system which overbooks rooms. They never tire and are always smiling.

Shared bathrooms were filthy and often occupied. Room was dank and loud. Bugs. No air conditioning (you don’t normally need it in SF but it was hot while I was here). The front desk staff was incredibly rude - no matter of I was heading to work or just getting back.

Breakfast was underwhelming. Parking is about two blocks away and not particularly easy to get to and from. And of course it’s in San Francisco so it’s all expensive.

“An overpriced compromise for a clean place to sleep near Chinatown/Union square.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Staff knew in advance that I am a mom who was travelling with a teenager. They gave us a very small room with a mural painting of a larger-than-life barbie-doll-like figure wearing a bikini top with highly articulated nipples, a waistline that couldn’t have supported an adult woman’s torso, and tattered shreds of what might once have been cut-off jeans. Additionally the walls were embellished printed with mottoes “Sexy Ink Girls” and, in case that was too subtle, “Have a sexy day!” Once again: I am a middle-aged mom travelling with my teenager on a summer vacation I saved up for. There might be charming bohemian hotels that celebrate 20th c painting somewhere in the Bay Area but Hotel des Arts should not advertise as such — it’s just a cynical tourist trap. Bed comfortable but ambient noise formidable. Staff were overwhelmed by a fairly disastrous leaking lobby ceiling this morning and not in much of a mood to deal with guests.
The room was clean and, for one night, adequate. Hotel location is its only desirable quality.
