Lock in a great price for Herbert Hotel – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

The room it’s self was OK, but bizzarely, no dresser, and not enough outlets to plug everything in. They really need a little extension strip with multiple outlets so that you could charge your phone and use the bedside light all at the same time. All in all, great location, nice little hotel, great value.

Anthony, United States of America

The staff were friendly and allowed me to use the shower facilities even though I have checked out for my night flight. I was also provided with a breakfast voucher.

An, Singapore

The room was really great. It was spacious and very pretty (loved the brick wall). I thought it was well located, near shops and food and the cable cars, I was able to walk around and get to the pier, it was nice. The WiFi stopped working for a day, and the people at the reception were very nice and gave me a 10% discount for that night. Never heard people from other rooms, so I guess walls are thick.

Daphne, France

Affordable, Decent place to stay that is close to almost everything, Shops, Food, and Transportation.

John, United States of America

Location is perfect, downtown SF Shared bathroom, but shared with only 4 other rooms. Friendly staff

Tim, Belgium

The room was clean and bright with a big window. The beds were comfortable. The communal shower and bathroom were clean and the facilities good.

Loughgill, Ireland

One day I didn't get a towel, another day there was a loud party downstairs. It was very, very, very basic and the bathroom was a little bit grotty.

Tanya, United States of America

Near some good restaurants and close to the Pier and fisherman’s wharf

“Good week at the Herbert, cool room, cool location, but not one for the light sleepers.”
- • Business trip

- • Deluxe Queen Room
- • Stayed 6 nights
눉The worst was the noise isolation. I felt like there were no windows at all (even though they were shut). So I ended up being awoken a couple of nights by people (tourists or homeless ?) screaming or by the trucks collecting trash early in the morning, and the street is quite loud in the evening (lots of tourists). Another thing, but that's quite minor : there was not enough water pressure in the shower/bath.
눇The room was really great. It was spacious and very pretty (loved the brick wall). I thought it was well located, near shops and food and the cable cars, I was able to walk around and get to the pier, it was nice.
