everything. one of the best places I’ve stayed in SF. The staff was amazing! especially Sonny!

Matthew United States of America

Awesome bar and great staff. Very well welcomed. Great to have a bluestone lane at entrance.

Guilherme Portugal

Location is central. Modern, clean, well-themed. We absolutely loved the free refilling station on each floor. The large jug of free fortune cookies was random, but we took advantage of it. Our room was spacious and the shower pressure was strong and great.

Dewi United States of America

We really enjoyed the atmosphere and all their decor. As soon as we got there they offered us complimentary Sangria. At the entrance they have an entire wall made out of all books. The room was very clean. The room had a very tiny fridge, coffee machine, and a safe. When you walk down all their hallways, you can read all these amazing inspirational quotes on the carpet. As we were checking out, they asked if we would like to take a Polaroid picture of our family! We really loved that!

Consuelo United States of America

Laura United States of America

Close to cable car, metro amd buses for going everywhere, nice location, so nice decoration and style. Was great.

Leandro Mexico

Unique modern look in quaint older building. Had artsy look. I liked decor theme and rooms. my room was a nice green color. Charming bar and eating area. coffee shop on premises. Excellent location.

Kiss United States of America

The hotel was adorable, fun, eclectic - and the girls working the front were so helpful and friendly. We were greeted with complementary sangria, and the location exceeded our expectations! (perfect for walking or catching the cable car). I would absolutely stay here on my next San Fran trip.

Whitney United States of America

Great hotel, super friendly staff. The bed was the most comfortable one I've ever had in a hotel. Amenities are fantastic and very original! Room was tastefully decorated and absolutely huge! We will be back there when we're in SF.

Baptiste United States of America

Ms. Gitanjali was welcoming from the moment I walked in to my departure. The home feeling with a modernized touch making a completely perfect balance of energy, creating a vibe that's sure to set you day or night in the positive direction. Will be back with more friends soon!!
