The bed was comfortable and the room was sizeable for us for our couple of nights stay. The facilities were great for what they were. Really like the small touches like welcome chocolates, the shower basket, and coat hangers in the room. Lots of storage space, and having a sink in the bedroom was very handy!

Location was awesome! Breakfast and kitchen were nice. Staff was really friendly. Good amount of space in the room (207). Althought the shared bathrooms were different, it worked quite well given the cost of the room. Great value for the location!

Benjamin

Great location near SFCM and restaurants/bars. My room was clean and bright. Friendly staff. Parking nearby.

John

United States of America

The quaint rooms were welcoming and felt homely and clean, with the staff being very accommodating and efficient. Housekeeping seemed almost beyond eager to clean our room. I had a few requests and needs for my room, which the staff were happy to take care of. The shared shower/bathroom facilities posed no issue and were almost always available right when you needed them, with wonderful scented soaps. The location is only minutes away from all the best districts, so it’s great for tourists to explore the city. It’s a very safe location, and as someone who had never been to San Francisco, I felt welcomed and safe. And finally, tea time and breakfast in the bright open dining hall added a level of community and intimacy to the experience, with a variety of fresh fruit, breakfast pastries and breads, tea, and much more.

The place is very cozy. The rooms are charming, the other guests are all in the same mood (who stays in a hotel with shared bathroom?!). The breakfast was outstanding (for USA). Hayes Valley Inn sets itself clearly apart from all the rest of Amrican hotels, particularly hotel chains.

1 property in San Francisco like Hayes Valley Inn was booked in the last 12 hours

The feeling of home at the Inn comes from a thousand little details and a few major attitudes: An atmosphere of genuine friendliness, from both staff, who will lend you their own umbrellas on a rainy day or mail back forgotten items on their days off, and guests, who get into easy conversation with one another, sometimes in their robes at breakfast. Keep in mind our vintage hotel is STAIR ACCESSIBLE ONLY, prepare yourself for a great workout while staying at our in.

It was very loud in the room due to the traffic noise outside - windows are very thin. I bought a pair of earplugs and it made my life better, but without them it was very hard to have an uninterrupted sleep.
Great breakfast and a good value for money! The staff were very nice! Good internet connection Even though the bathroom was shared, I didn’t have any issues with that- everything was clean and available when needed.

“Decent facilities, good location, reasonable value for money.”

- • Stayed 4 nights
....but a couple on the reception desk didn't seem to have a customer service gene - they were more interested in whatever they were doing on their laptops. On arrival, be prepared to wait at the locked front door - they take a while to answer at busy times.
A well-connected location, not far from Van Ness and Market St. with its buses/streetcars/T stations to all parts of the city. The Hayes Valley area has a wealth of pubs/restaurants/cafes. Our room was fine apart from not being made up on one day. There was a nice buffet breakfast in a sunny corner room which also provided afternoon tea/coffee. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful....

our room was next to a noisy duct system. the “lobby” could use ae attention to design and comfort, and the receptionist could use some training in customer service.
the room decor was sweet and the bed was very comfy. the kitchen area was very nice.

Staff were super unprofessional and forced us from a Queen room clearly booked to a double room in a diff building. And they lied that it was an "upgrade".
Location is the best. Close to lots of stuff in the area. Really happening neighbourhood.

We had a room with a window out onto the street so good view however quite loud due to bars and bus stop on the street below.
Breakfast was more than suitable for us, comfy bed. Location was fairly easy to get to from union square. Hotel is in a nice area surrounded by bars and niche shops and not far to the painted ladies
