The place is soooo clean. The rooms are small but they contain everything needed for a comfortable stay. Helpful staff.

Michelle, Canada

price relatively low for SF. very central position. clean.

Michael, Italy

This hotel is right in the center of the action. From outside my window I could see the entrance to China town and a short walk down the street were all the shops of Union Square. One short bus ride away was Japan town. Everything I could have needed for my stay was in walking distance. Everywhere I might have wanted to visit was one or two short transit rides away. The hotel itself was very clean, there was always an empty and clean bathroom to use. The room was larger than I had anticipated and the in room sink was very convenient. The room had a sink (as mentioned), a sturdy desk and chair, a wardrobe, a twin bed, a flat screen tv, a large fan, and a big window facing out to the city.

Aimee, United States of America

Free coffee/tea/water/juice/popcorns. Great flat location. Helpful staff. Hot strong shower. Sink in the room.

Genevieve, Thailand

The restrooms and bathrooms are clean, which is beyond my expectation. The staff and the location are also great for single travelers! Will definitely recommend it to others!

Matt, United States of America

All of the staff were friendly and helpful, particularly Radeza.

Liam, United States of America

The Urban is perfect to use as a hub if you want to explore SF city & surrounds. The shared bathrooms were kept clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Thomas, South Africa

Location was a bit hard to find at first as the entrance is a single door, hidden between some stores, but the proximity to food and bars was exceptional. We never felt unsafe and the parking garage next door, while REALLY expensive, was just as safe and very convenient. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on as well. Room was clean and tidy upon arrival and the bathrooms/shower rooms were always very clean when I went to use them (this was very impressive considering they are all shared by a floor). Front desk provided free coffee, tea, juice, water and popcorn throughout the day.

Carpeon, United States of America

The staff were helpful and friendly, and the place was quiet even though on a busy street in the city. Good value for money.

Ayanda, United States of America

Great value for money. Great location just off Chinatown. Easy walking distance to Ferry Pier, Downtown, Union Street and bars and good location to catch tram/bus to Fishermans Wharf.

Very expensive as the rooms were very small, sometimes felt claustrophobic. My room was on the third floor and there was no assistance in taking the luggage upstairs. There was no lift facility which was tiresome and frustrating. The Asian girl at the reception was unhelpful and rude at times. She kept rolling her eyes at me when I asked her a question.
I liked that the girl simone at reception was welcoming and nice and helpful. I liked that the rooms and washrooms were clean.

“Amazing, Affordable, Gem right in the City Center would stay again!”

No major complaints just a couple notes. -Though they do have a wheelchair lift that comes up to the first floor there is no elevator and this is a walk up. -A small refrigerator in the room would have made the accommodations almost perfect.
This hotel is right in the center of the action. From outside my window I could see the entrance to China town and a short walk down the street were all the shops of Union Square. One short bus ride away was Japan town. Everything I could have needed for my stay was in walking distance. Everywhere I might have wanted to visit was one or two short transit rides away.

While I was in the air from Tokyo, they ran my credit card, said it was invalid and sent me an email saying my 7 night stay was going to be cancelled if I didn’t arrive by noon (check-in is 15:00). Luckily I arrived before noon not even having seen the e-mail. The front desk person was not very polite about the matter. Other people were there and she immediately and quite abruptly said my card is invalid. I gave her another card, she ran it, then she checked in the next person and told them the same: your card is invalid. It wasn’t a nice way to arrive at the hotel. The fact that they would casually cancel a customer with no regard is poor. I’ve been using booking.com for 7 years all over the world and never had something like this happen. 49 properties. My advice would be to run the card before the day of arrival. That way if there is an issue, they clear it up before the guest arrives. I also found it strange that myself AND the next guest both had “invalid” credit cards. Although the place is well run and clean, the room is very small, stuffy and room 313 has one window looking into the interior with no view.
The property location in front of Chinatown was convenient. It was clean. Staff were polite and friendly. Free coffee and juice in the morning is nice.
