San Francisco hotels in Tenderloin

Pros: great location, nice and helpful staff

Cons: a bit noisy and messy in the pit, room not clean enough, too many people sharing bathrooms.

Pros: Stay was good!!

Cons: Breakfast was just breads everyday. I stayed for 10 days and imagine everyday same breakfast can be upsetting.

Pros: The facilities were nice and clean and the staff was always helpful

Pros: Very awesome place to stay. They are offering a lot of activities - for free as well as for a reasonable price. You easily get in touch with the other guests.

Cons: Unfortunately, beds are quite short if you are taller than 1,90. But everything else was superb!

Pros: Room was clean,shared bathrooms were clean too.The bed was super comfortable and I slept very well,close to the public transportation stations.breakfast was awesome.

Cons: Sometimes the stuffs should be more friendly and polite,especially the volunteers,I stayed there for three nights,it happened for twice that I felt the stuffs uncomfortable.

Pros: Great location, walking distance from the center, subway, restaurants and pubs. Good value for money. The rooms are basic but sufficient, i was happy with the charger next to the bed and the complimentary shampoo. Daily cleaning of the room, nothing to complain

Cons: The check-in and check-out process took forever, incorrect data on the invoice despite multiple attempts.. The hallways are smelly, elevator scary, the common/breakfast area always smelled like spilled beer, the floor was constantly sticky

Pros: I especially enjoyed the free walk. It was on my first day and I met quite a few people I connected with over the next few days. It provided a great orientation to the area around the hostel. I also enjoyed my four-woman dorm accommodation. My roommates were quiet, friendly and thoughtful. I loved the location. It was close to public transportation, there was a convenience store opposite and plenty of nearby restaurants. I was looking forward to the biking the bridge tour, but it was cancelled because of rain. It turned out well because I biked the bridge independently with another woman from the hostel on a beautiful sunny day. We asked for the hostel discount at Blazing Saddles and paid $18 instead of $32.

Cons: The dorm was warm, but thankfully we had a room facing the street and could open the window. The price is likely competitive for San Francisco, but with the exchange rate of USD to Canadian Dollars, paying $92.46 CAD isn't good value for one night in a hostel dorm.

Pros: I liked the bed & the coffee in the morning the most!

Pros: Location, staff

Cons: Electric plug on bunk bed.

Pros: Great place to meet all types of people, had a great time

Cons: Nothing

Pros: They provide towel (given every time when asked) and bed sheets (and a blanket). I did not use it but there is a complimentary shampoo (can be used as body wash as well). There was a sink in the room (no soap, no paper towels provided here). Also the light switch on the bed was very bright and so convenient to have. Heater in the room worked well, wasn't cold at all!

Cons: Shower rooms and toilets were separate (both being gender neutral). It may not bother other people but it did for me a bit. But yes, they do have a few bathrooms (shower+toilet) even though they were most of times occupied. I love the fact they provided bed sheets, but it seemed like the blanket was not washed - found a piece of plastic trash when unfolded the blanket. But overall it was cleaner and in many ways "better" than I expected. My first time being in a hostel, so can't really compare to other places...

Pros: Breakfast was great. Generally a good hostel

Cons: Location is not perfect but it’s easy to get around

Pros: Very clean! Beautiful lobby and rooms.

Pros: Staff was friendly and the hotel was centrally located.

Cons: This was my second time staying at the Hotel Spero while I was in town for a work event, though my experience this time may cause me to reconsider staying here going forward. The last time I stayed at the hotel I shared a room with a co-worker which included 2 full beds, this time i was staying alone so opted for the single king. When I first entered the room I was a bit shocked at the small size of the room, one king bed with a very large flat screen tv and a small chair and side table - definitely glad I was staying solo - but overall the room was clean and would work just fine for one night of travel. That night I started experiencing some issues. The walls of the room were paper thin (maybe this is why they hand you a welcome package that consists of 2 small water bottles and ear plugs). I could hear everything that was going on on the floor above me and outside my door. This was amplified by the fact that my door was only 4 feet away from the entrance to the room. Throughout the night and next morning wifi kept going in and on on both my Android phone and my MacBook laptop. When I contacted the front desk about the issue they said that there had been some issues, but that technical support had assured her the issue was resolved. When I told her I still couldn’t connect (after restarting my devices and and resetting my wifi) she abruptly apologized and said she would connect me to technical support. I was on the line with a technical support representative for 30 minutes - I was confused as to why I had to contact them myself only to be told later that there was nothing they could do because the signal was down. All in all this boutique hotel does have the pearks of being centrally located and relatively well priced, however I would encourage others who are in town for work purposes to rethink staying here, as the issues with noise and wifi definitely put me behind schedule for the day :disappointed:

Cons: Lacks hotel parking

Pros: Good location. Free tea and coffee

Cons: It’s a shame the tea and coffee was not available in room.

Pros: Hotel was on the smaller side, boutique style so it was easy to get to our room. There is a restaurant right at the lobby level called Jaspers with great food and reasonable prices. Staff was friendly, very imformative and ready to help.

Cons: Roms were a little on the small side. No where to put your suitcase to unpack. Tried taking pictures out the window of the view but the windows were quite dirty. Also, location even though it is 2 blocks from Union Square there are many homeless around.

Pros: Cleanliness, location

Cons: Needs a wine bar.

Pros: The staff was really friendly

Cons: The tenderloin district is a difficult place to stay due to the homelessness and mental illness which gives the neighborhood its gritty vibe. Locals dont seem to mind it.

Pros: My room was the best part of this hotel!

Cons: The restaurant in the lobby is really not up to standards for this hotel! Service was terrible and it looked unkept. -Halloween decorations in the lobby were awful -At 9pm, some rooms were still being cleaned by housekeeping and they were not ready.

Pros: Cool and quirky

Cons: Noisy aircon

Pros: Loved the friendliness of the valets. They were very helpful and welcoming. The room was tastefully appointed and very clean.

Cons: Hotel wouldn’t match online rates at the desk, and their rates were significantly higher per night than the major online booking sites. The add on costs were ridiculously high. There were no tea or coffee facilities in the room (although this was provided in the foyer between 6am and 10am; apparently this is what the add on fees pay for). The rooms were advertised as suitable for families, but are very, very small and not enough towels for everyone. There is nowhere to stow large pieces of luggage for people who have been travelling.

Pros: location, updates, staff

Cons: I have stayed here several times. This is the first time i was assigned 2 double beds instead of a king (preferred) and i found a dirty plastic glass and some garbage under the bureau and beside the night table.

Pros: Very clean and great location.....the hotel has a restaurant and the breakfast was amazing

Cons: The beds were not that comfortable

Pros: Upgraded older hotel in a great downtown location. Friendly staff and quiet comfortable room.

Pros: Clean and updatws

Cons: The other guests on the floor were there in multiple rooms and weee making a lot of noise in the hallways and slamming doors.

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff. Comfy beds and pillows. Near a selection of eating places. Always had a selection of biscuits and fresh water, tea and coffee available.

Cons: Nothing in particular

Pros: The front desk check-in lady couldn't have been more helpful. I arrived early (before check-in time), and she comped me breakfast in the restaurant, and worked hard to get a room ready for me early. She had a great sense of humor, also!

Cons: Tiny gripes: Restaurant seats very uncomfortable (for a tall person) low to the ground and seat too deep). Within first 30 minutes, 2 different hotel employees entered room after knocking but before I could respond probably result of getting room ea

Pros: The complementary breakfast was great only 4 choices but the yogurt/home made granola/berry/honey bowl was amazing also had the All American breakfast which was good as well. Staff was very professional and helpful. from the maintenance personnel to the wait staff. Room has A/C and a nice verity mini bar/snacks. I would go back anytime....

Cons: Bathroom grout needs some work in the tub area. Dinning menu is a little limited.

Cons: The air conditioner was not working well

Pros: I liked the location. The door man was helpful and he suggested he will try to get Alcatraz tour ticket charged 150$ per person.(we were 4 people so 600$ for us). I searched online and fined out it was 39.90$ per person. We almost paid 600$ for that.

Cons: I had medicine for my children which needs to keep in a refrigerator. I couldn’t use the one in the room. There was a sign that customers are not allowed to keep their personal items in this fridge. There was magnetic system which automatically cha

Pros: The hotel has a very good position near the shoping area, walking distance from the metro and chinatown, and yet away from the many homeless people of the city.

Cons: The breakfast was a la carte with few selections only. The amenities were limited and the room's interior a bit outdated. For the price charged the facilities were limited. These type of hotels in Europe are not actually 4 stars.

Pros: Spacious rooms, polite and attentive staff, nothing was ever too much to ask. Location was good also, with the style of the hotel being very classy.

Cons: Some of the area looked sketchy, and we had to take advice from the hotel staff on which routes to use, but they can’t do anything about those that walk the streets to be fair

Pros: The lobby bar and coffee station areas are very nice. Good lounge area to hang out.

Cons: The A/C couldn't keep my room very cool and it was a particularly hot 2 days.

Pros: Very clean, very comfortable, loved the large room! Staff superb.

Cons: So wish we had had a fireplace to cozy up to in the public areas on the very cold days we were there.

Pros: The people were amazing! They had great brownies which always helps!

Cons: The elevators were abnormally tiny, I wanted a cot/rollaway bed and based on the small elevators they said they were not able to bring one. It was fine, we made due however it was a little disappointing as one employee had promised to find one for us.

Cons: Location is central, but dodgy neighbourhood. San Francisco lodging is in general extremely overpriced.

Cons: We could clearly hear people in other rooms

Pros: The decor was excellent.

Cons: The bed was too firm. Parking was a mild hassle. The extra charges for the amenities was a little irritating. 15 dollars a day for slow internet and a filtered water drinking fountain on every floor was a bit much. The bathroom had way to little co

Pros: The hotel was a better standar than I was expecting. The lobby was clean & fairly modern. The room was reasonably large and had good amenities.

Cons: The bathroom was very small & felt a little cramped. There was no free parking but this is to be expected in a city.

Pros: The staff was really nice and the room clean and comfortable. The hotel was located close to public transportation and within walking distance of many touristic areas.

Cons: I didn't like the fact that the hotel had no air conditioning. The ceiling fan was not enough. It was hot in the room. In addition, it was noisy at night and difficult to sleep with the windows opened since the hotel is in the city.

Pros: Complimentary wine & music in the evening, modern decor, dog-friendly

Cons: Neighborhood, not close to many good restaurants, parking in public garage for about $30/night, rooms smaller than appeared in photos

Pros: Cleanliness and location.

Cons: The city view I wish was better.

Pros: Hotel front desk was knowledgeable, very helpful with suggestions .

Cons: Room door closes loud. Could get noisy.

Pros: The staff is incredibly friendly, the restaurant is amazing and the vibe at the hotel is modern and hip. Loved the jazz music in the lobby with complimentary wine. Walking distance to great food and drinks as well.

Cons: nope...loved it.

Cons: Yea why was the toilet dispenser so far away. You practically have to get off toli et to clean yourself.

Pros: The rooms and hotel are clean, staff very friendly, front desk fellows have a great sense of humor and very kind, and helpful!

Cons: Nothing to complain about really but then again there is way more positive things about this place that outweigh anything bad.

Pros: The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was great. I stayed in San Francisco numerous times and for the price this hotel was a great stay/great deal. Would recommend.

Cons: When we arrived the room felt cold to us. We are from a much warmer climate than SF. Turned on the heater and didn't heat up. Called the front desk and was told the heat in the building was on a timer...comes on at 9pm (it's a radiator). They offered to send up a space heater.Within minutes we had a space heater. Problem solved. Great staff and super friendly.
