Lock in a great price for Hayes Valley Inn – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Location is great. Fabulous restaurants/shops/diversity. We are very fond of Hayes Valley. The history of the hotel is interesting. Staff great. Remodel/upgrade is tastefully done. Parking at garage was reasonable. Breakfast was good. The kitchen has been remodeled since we stayed last. Nice. Clean. Food was attractive and fresh. Wish there had been hard boiled eggs tho.

Cynthia, United States of America

Extremely clean bathrooms, even if they were shared. Very friendly receptionist. Perfect hype location!

Maxence, United States of America

Staff were friendly. Veronique and her colleague on reception were informative on best places to see and how to do it economically.

Donna, United Kingdom

Very good! Street was clean and fancy. If i go to sfo, i will go to again.

Hwayoung, South Korea

Very clean and well kept. The breakfast room and choices were very nice. You can't beat the location or price. We were hesitant because of the shared bath. This was not an issue, very clean and we never had to wait. I think the shared bathroom is only an inconvienence nothing else.

Thomas, United States of America

Really friendly staff. Good food! Great location! Our son lives up the street so we plan to always stay here because it was great!

Gail, United States of America

The Hotel is very well located, clean and quite. The breakfast was delicious and varied. The commun area (restroom, bathroom and kitchen) were ultra clean at anytime of the day. I highly recommend it !

Penelope, United Kingdom

I loved the breakfast, fresh fruit, many types of cereals, cold cuts, juice and coffee, plus the size and comfort of the room and the plates, bowls, mugs and steel silverware. I also enjoyed the large number of channels available on the television.

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.

“Fun Neighborhood Stay in SF”

- • Stayed 1 night

눉Parking is not easy to find on the street, but there is a paid parking facility nearby.
눇The Hayes Valley neighborhood is lively and fun with plenty of restaurants and shops. If you know the city a bit, it's a fun area to walk around. The Inn is comfortable, with small, but comfortable rooms. My room faced the back, so it was very quiet. This Inn is clean and the staff is great. The breakfast is abundant with wonderful fresh fruit, yogurts and breads.

눇Afternoon tea was adorable and the breakfast was very nice. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff made us feel very welcome.

“Ok for short, heavy sleepers that like to share restrooms”
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Room was directly above a busy bar. The loud patrons usually left around 3:00am. Then around 4:00 am, the garbage trucks empty all the local dumpsters which will wake most sleepers. Finally, the beds were a bit smaller than advertised. I'm 5'10" and my feet dangled over the end of the bed by a lot. Unless you're 5'5" or shorter, or like to curl up, keep this in mind. Rooms are tiny by dorm standards. This was what it was like at the turn of the century, I suppose. No parking. Meters all around. Several fairly expensive 24 hour lots nearby----- this is common in San Francisco, though. I didn't hate this place, but you should know the drawbacks before you go for it.
눇Helpful, kind staff. Good but noisy location. Lots of bars, restaurants, shops, and lyft/uber drivers nearby. Bus stop is a block away. Wifi was ok.

눉The room was a bit small but totally ok for us since we needed it just for sleeping! You might find some weird people / homeless people wandering around the area, but this happens nearly everywhere in San Francisco...
눇The breakfast was awesome! We especially enjoyed the pancakes and the fresh fruit, they made us start the day in a very good mood! The breakfast room is also very pleasant and well lit. The bed was comfy and the whole building was well maintained and always clean.

눉Our room was very small but there are bigger options to choose from.
눇Great location, simple but excellent breakfast. Never any queues for shared bathroom and toilet. Good idea to have a sink in each room. Relatively easy to find free street parking within 10-15 min walk from the hotel.

Excellent

눉My 1st assigned room was a double, and so small that I couldn't bear to keep it. I got upgraded to an available Queen room and it was much better despite being right above the busy street.
눇It was very clean and very close to my workshop. The kitchen was very pretty, and the continental breakfast was good, and saved me from going out to buy something. It would have been better if it had more protein options IE hardboiled eggs, but there was good coffee.

“Comfy inn located in heart of Hayes Valley”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Beware, rooms are located on the second, third and fourth floors. No elevator, so pack light. Rooms have a sink but no toilet or shower. These are shared on each floor.
눇We are locals and the Hayes Valley Inn is the perfect location to stay in San Francisco. The symphony, opera house, SF Jazz, and blues venues are literally 2 blocks away. Asian Art Museum is 3 blocks. Bill Graham convention center and city hall 2 blocks. Tourist attractions are on local bus routes. This is a great little corner of town away from the tourist schlock with great local bars and fantastic restaurants. The hotel was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was great. Fresh fruit, yoghurt, cheese and meat, etc. Staff were friendly.

눉I'm actually struggling to think of anything... Sometimes I had to wander from floor to floor to find an open shower in the morning. That's a bit of a pain. Every room has a sink, though. The showers themselves are really good. I did notice that everything was cleaned VERY frequently... So I never felt dirty using the facilities. Walls are a bit thin. So you can hear everybody a bit. I'm a heavy sleeper so I was never woken up by anyone and fell asleep easily, but I did talk to someone who was woken up a few nights in a row by someone who left their tv on all night very loudly. The building doesn't have an elevator. This never bothered me (as I am able bodied) but it may bother someone who has particular needs and can't walk up flights of stairs.
눇The staff here are amazing! They were just kind, genuine people, and were extremely helpful to me and my partner. I'm really into quaint bed and breakfast kinda places like this. The location is excellent - lots of little shops and bars, and walking distance to a lot of cool stuff. I never felt unsafe wandering around the area. The kitchen is really beautiful, too. It feels like you're at a friend's house. It really encourages conversation. I managed to have some interesting conversation basically every morning I was there, lol... And honestly, breakfast is pretty good. There's a good selection of stuff available - cereal, fruit, granola, waffles, bagels, muffins, coffee, tea, etc., etc. Basically the kind of stuff that can stay out for a couple of hours in the morning and keep well. They do free cookies and tea at around 4 as well. It's nice to stop in and have some tea and just kind of drank in the daylight and view of San Fran streets through the large windows in their kitchen... It's really nice. I will definitely stay again. If you're looking for a hotel that makes you feel like you're from San Fran and has staff who really care, this is the place for you.
