The hotel is located on Powell street and Union Square is just around the corner. Union square is where you can get on to a hop on hop off bus and take a tour of all the tourist spots in San Francisco. Take the air train to garage g- and the BART to Powell street. It's a short walk from Powell street to the hotel.

Nice room in center downtown: even if very small it had all the necessary and above all it was very clean. Staff incredibly kind and at disposal! Thanks :)

Fabrizio, Italy

Only one elevator. Great location. Comfortable bed, clean and nice. Excellent help at front desk. Need protein for breakfast.

Kathleen, United States of America

Hotel Stratford is a good hotel. It is situated in the city center, next to a public transport junction. If you stay here, you will find yourself in the middle of SFO life. I liked the breakfast, compared to the "american gastronomy" it was quite OK. The room was clean and comfy. I recommend this hotel, if you want to spend your nights in a very very good situated place, for cheap.

Adamfulop, Hungary

Top location in the very city center. There is a garage around the corner that is not too expensive. The room was small but sufficient. There was a bike rental nearby and I strongly recommend using bikes :-)

Oyohanna, Austria

Close proximity to Powell st station easy access from airport The amenities provided were lovely All staff friendly and helpful

Cheryl, Australia

The location and ease of transportation was excellent. The rooms were small, very European, but completely adequate for our purposes. The rate was very reasonable for such a central location. The breakfast room was minimal, but adequate.

Andrea, United States of America

눉View of brick wall, not do much of a big deal but a view would be nice. Breakfast was toast and muffins and cereal plus orange slices. More fruit, maybe a yogurt or other options would've been nice
눇Beds were firm and comfortable

눉The room really was small, but enough for traveling alone. The fan on the ceiling was not working, but luckily I was able to open the window in the bathroom to get some fresh air! No ventilation/air conditioning at all, so avoid those rooms if you're travelling during summer time.
눇The location is very central, just next to Union square! Nice, helpful staff.

눉The water pressure in the bathroom was horribly poor, it took three times more to have a shower. There is only one elevator, and you will have to wait a lot for it if you live on higher floors.
눇Hotel Stratford is a good hotel. It is situated in the city center, next to a public transport junction. If you stay here, you will find yourself in the middle of SFO life.

“Just good location, boring breakfast and problem with radiator!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The room has only one small window so It's uncomfortable if you stay in the room for whole day. Also, the radiator was old and it had some trouble (like the gas was running out of the machine). We were scared a lot. Even the staff shut down the system later, we still worry for next customers who maybe stay at that room. (Room 800). They should check their system again or change another radiator. The breakfast was boring, I just ate one time.
눇the location is quite good, next to Union Square and main shopping malls.

눉The wifi was a bit slow at times. The only lift was really very low and luckily I was on the third floor.
눇I loved the location best as it was within the shopping district, v near to the Bart, muni and other public transport. next I liked my room for its facilities and toiletries inside an old but quite clean and neat room. I requested for a quiet room away from the street noise which the hotel staff obligated. Free breakfast was a plus though it wld b good to hv some variety as only the fruits varied during the three days I was there.
