San Francisco hotels in Chinatown

Pros: Helpful

Cons: Small

Pros: I always received a warm smile and greeting when I stepped through the door from the security guard (who would open the door too!) and the front desk employees. They really made me feel comfortable. Coming from the east coast to west coast, it makes the transition that much easier. The security guard even offered to help me walk to the store due to the late hour in case I was nervous. I was very safe in my solo adventure - no need to fear the neighborhood. Fun location, incredible hotel, outstanding service. A must stay!

Pros: Bed was comfortable and really good location.

Cons: Expensive parking for valet. And no parking at all if you don't do it. After we came back from the day out. We came into our room and noticed that A) the door was not shit tight. And B) when we got in it smelled Like somebody had just taken an extended bathroom break. Which was awful. I immediately called customer service and though the guy was nice he was not able to get in touch with any managers. I was supposed to get a call the next day which I still hadn't heard from anybody till I was checking out. They called the manager for me. Who offered 50$ off which I still haven't seen on my credit card bill. Was a bit unfortunate really.

Pros: Location was ideal, amenities were par.

Cons: Room was not ready at check-in. When we came back the room we were given was not the same type that we had booked. We did get moved to the correct room in the end.

Pros: Affordable (hint: book on their web site using your phone), the room and hotel overall was comfortable, modern, and clean. It's a half block from the dragons gate and lots of restaurants and stores. The mattress and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom was roomy with a large vanity. The TV has Chromecast and apps. There is a refrigerator in the room. There are chocolates on your pillow and a fantastic filtered water machine in the hallway of the floor. Kureg coffee machine in your room. Rooftop balcony with a view.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: We were moved from Orchard garden to another Orchard hotel on the same street due to overbooking.

Pros: The building is beautiful and welcoming, the staff is amazingly friendly, other guests were pleasant, breakfast was nice, bed was comfortable, I felt safe, windows open, fan in room, wonderful place!!!

Cons: The fan in the bathroom didn't work, but they supplied me with a plug in fan to accommodate, not really that big of a deal.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Room was small, beds were hard as a rock, hotel smelled, first clerk was pushy and rude.

Pros: Nice big clean room very close to Union Square. Helpful & friendly staff. Very comfy & inviting lounge area with fireplace

Cons: As prior reviews warned, it was very noisy very early in the morning. There was a bit of a musty smell entering the hall & initially in the room. The vintage heaters in the room made it a little tricky to maintain a comfortable temp overnight.

Pros: awesome location, very friendly staff. Love apples in the lobby!

Cons: noise insulation is not very good, so can get a bit noisy

Pros: The location is great, and the value hard to beat. The staff was helpful and nice. I would stay here again for those reasons.

Cons: The room was pretty small and hard to get in or out of with a stroller (we have a 3 month old baby) or with the luggage trolley. My wife found the bed rather hard, as well. Also, the parking garage they use is more expensive and less convenient than another option right down the street that our babysitters used. It was literally twice as much. Not sure why they use this one, but I feel sort of duped.

Pros: Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great location near Union Square but out of the hustle and bustle. Not luxurious but pleasant and comfortable for one, with some nice touches (wine, toiletries)

Pros: Breakfast was great. Historic building, renovated rooms and a great way to get the feel of old town San Francisco. Also cool tip is China town is literally around the corner.

Cons: Honestly there’s a wicker basket and a mini bar but that’s really expensive so eat and drink carefully.

Pros: Friendliness of employees. Great location.

Cons: Nothing not to like.

Pros: The room was perfect, the bathroom looked to be recently remodeled, the sheets were nice. We had a room to the alleyway and the city noise was muted. The staff was quick and helpful.

Cons: nothing not to like.

Pros: Location, clean, quiet, kindness, etc

Cons: Well this is not just this hotel. Parking is so bad in San Francisco,

Cons: The unit had a cot for a bed. The unit did not have a bathroom, shared bathroom on the floor and shared shower on the floor. Spent $20 more that day on a major chain hotel, this place should have been cheaper!

Pros: Cheaper than others

Cons: Essentially everything else

Pros: Good location.

Cons: Small. Bathrooms are community. Have to pay everything cash.

Pros: I had a great experience staying here. Sure, it's not a Ritz Carlton or anything, but if you're looking for a simple, cheap place to stay while enjoying the city, this is it. Room was clean and I had a microwave and fridge for my food (huge plus if you're trying to save money). Wifi was surprisingly fast (not what I expected). Lastly, location is excellent. You're not far from Bart; several bus routes are within a 5 min walk; and there are plenty of attractions nearby.

Pros: I did my research and this was the only affordable option for me. The bathrooms are not in the room. And I brought a waterproof zippered sheet, as well as my own sheet/blanket. Soap and towels for my room and when I showered. As well as shower shoes. It was a bit scary staying alone but I managed just fine and no one bothered me. If you are staying in summer just know the windows have no screens and there are mosquitoes. I also brought a sleepmask and earplugs. With all these I felt much more comfortable and slept well.

Cons: The place is advertised as a hotel but it is actally a hostel with communal bathrooms and showers.

Pros: Microwave and mini fridge in room.

Cons: Tiny rooms, shared bathrooms, rude staff, NO parking, mosquitos everywhere and ready to bite the hell out of you.. Beware!

Cons: Room was very tiny. Too expensive for sharing bathroom room. No heat control in room. Rooms are very old. Doesn't look like pictures at all.

Pros: Everything was cleaner than I expected, bed, floor, shower, etc.

Cons: The freshness of the room

Pros: The room is small but love the view and the staff is friendly.

Cons: Share bathroom with other visitors and there no hotel packing.

Pros: I was able to book the room for the day I needed it, which was unlikely given that I was looking to stay in SanFran at the last minute.

Cons: I wouldn't stay here again if I got a free voucher. When booking, because I booked through a third party (booking.com), the hotel staff seemed to have problems confirming the reservation. Actually checking in took close to thirty minutes, which is excessive. The room ran around $170.00 for a single night stay when no events were going on in the city (on a Wednesday night, nonetheless) - which is a bit ridiculous, even for last minute reservations. The hotel had a 3 star rating on Google. I experienced 1 star service - from checking in, where several of my questions were outright ignored, to checking out - which required no identity verification at all. My group of friends and I arrived at the hotel around 3 AM (after having checked in around 9 PM and exploring the city a bit). First, the doors were locked and we had to knock on the glass to get the attention of the security guard. He would not open the door unless we showed him BOTH our state ID cards AND our room key. He explained to us that when we checked in, they only took my girlfriend and my ID, so only we were allowed to enter the hotel. This posed a problem as our friends were planning on staying in our room for several more hours. I asked if I could speak to the manager, after they refused our friends entry. The manager, in no uncertain tone of voice, told me that it was hotel policy and that the security guard had explained everything relevant already. In this particular event, my friends had had several drinks and were incapable of driving, so I was hoping they could sober up for a few hours in my room. I explained this and that they had nowhere else to go for the night to sober up, and the manager said she didn't care. I asked if I could pay a fee to allow visitors and was denied. I asked if I could book another room for them, because other than sleeping in their car (in downtown San Francisco as inebriated out of towners) they had nowhere to go. The manager said roughly the following: "There are no visitors past 10 PM period. This hotel is closed for the night, so I will not book anymore rooms for you. We open at 6 AM, and if you return then, I might attempt to book another room for you at full cost if we have any available, which I find unlikely." Ultimately, my friends and I wondered around the city for 3 or so hours until the hotel "opened" at 6 AM, at which point we all walked up to my room to rest. I was also told there was a complimentary breakfast, which was not laid out from that point until I checked out at 11:30 AM. When we got to the room, there was no air conditioning and the rooms were at a balmy / humid 90 degrees and up. We had to rely on an open window that the four of us huddled around for fresh air. The room had a single lamp, a 12 inch or so TV, two beds, and a sink. The toilet and shower (if that's what they can be called) existed on a shared basis - one each per floor.

Cons: Community bathrooms

Pros: Nice staff, fun location, clean room

Pros: I liked the location but that’s about it.

Cons: Rooms are too small, outdated, and not clean.

Cons: The walls where hospital white . They started doing construction at 8am on a Friday.

Pros: Location was good. Chinatown is nice. Staff is amazing. Very very nice people.

Cons: Hard bed. Wi-Fi didn't work. No A/C. Small small small room. Small bathroom. Small elevator.

Pros: Check in and check out were easy. The hotel was super close to a lot of things so it’s great if you want something convenient and close to things. The bathrooms seem to have been recently redone so the fixtures in there were pretty good.

Cons: The rooms are really small and the entire building is definitely older than the lobby makes it appear. The walls are quite thin so with my room next to the elevator I could hear a lot of people come and go at all hours, plus my neighbor was blaring music so ear plugs became a necessity.

Pros: The place is clean and had a cool modern look.

Cons: The biggest issue was that our room had no air conditioning and due to its location within the building had no air flow, even having the window cracked didn't help.

Pros: The location was exactly where we wanted to.

Cons: The pictures shown is very deceptive & does not show actual room size.

Pros: I liked the price of the hotel. It was really inexpensive especially to stay centrally in the city.

Cons: The bed was hard as a rock and really uncomfortable. It seemed like I was sleeping on a box spring without the mattress.
