“Convenient to trolley so no car needed.”

The hotel in an older building was very convenient. There was a cafe across the street for breakfast and coffee, and the trolley and BART system was a walk away. We would use it again for the price.

“Definitely a place to go back to.”

After spending three nights in a chair at a hospital while my husband was recovering from surgery, going to Parc55 was a godsend. The staff was incredible!! The hotel was comfortable and quiet. Very comfy bed. Location was easy to find, lots of eats nearby, and convenient shopping. As always, parking was expensive ($50+) so don't expect it to be included in your hotel price. I'd definitely stay there again.

“Great time in the Castro”

My partner and I took a 24 hr trip to San Fran from Chicgo. I was unsure after booking after reading some of the reviews. This hotel isn't the Ritz but it's was perfect for us. We went to go party in the Castro which was maybe a 15 min walk and had a great time.

“A Great Hotel for those Not looking to stay in the room all the time”

This is a great hotel despite other reviews. It's not the Ritz and to be honest it's shabby chic but that's part of the charm. The best reason to stay here though is the location. You can walk everywhere from here and it's close to the MUNI and BART stations and the street car. It's in a really nice area with great restaurants nearby, you can walk to Golden Gate Park (I ran up there - it's three miles away but I'm a runner so it was perfect for me) and you can walk into the Castro and well just everywhere! The room was small but my boyfriend and I didn't care b/c for us the point of travel is to SEE the area, not to stay in the hotel the whole time. We just want a nice safe clean place to rest our heads and that is what the Edwardian provided. Great staff and friendly service. Very clean and safe. Do yourself the favor and stay here!

“The price and location are right”

The Edwardian is an aging hotel that offers a good value for Market Street. It is clean and cheerful, good showers, clean bedding. Lots of street noise, so bring ear plugs. We keep coming back when we need to stay in the area.

“Great value”

The Hotel is Great for students and couples that do not want to spend a fortune. Great value and cleanness. The staff is very helpful and professional. The rooms are small and no LCD/Plasma TV, but they are very comfortable. It's only downside is that our room dint have its own bathroom/restroom, wasn't really a issue since they were restroom right in front our room and they were always clean. Great value and excellent choice to spent a weekend in SF without breaking the bank.

“Good for a brief stay”

This hotel is convenient for getting around downtown San Francisco. It had a Muni bus stop right in front. The small left barely any room to move about, like a typical standard European hotel room. It's an old building with some charm and the staff was friendly and helpful. Would recommend only to business travelers.

“Charming and quirky in a good way”

My spouse and I stayed at the Edwardian for 6 nights while vacationing from the East Coast. The hotel is charming and quirky. Not for everybody, but we loved it! The location could not be more convenient for access to public transit to every reach of the city. The neighborhood is on the edge of the Tenderloin, so there are quite a few panhandlers about. (If you wish to avoid them, make it a habit to use the street car lines on market that stop directly in front of the hotel. The hotel is situated between two (very good) restaurants, so there are restaurant noises and smells, especially of wood smoke, which permeates the place, especially in mid-morning, when their wood ovens are first fired up. We liked the smell, but not everybody would. The new owners are performing renovations such as painting, installing new room furnishings, repairing plumbing and the like. We hope that when the owners are finished with these improvements they will be able to continue offering reasonable pricing, as they do now. Good coffee was available in the lobby from 8am into the evening. There is no ice machine, but there is a market across the street that has it and the other usual conveniences. The staff were courteous and helpful, but some did not go out of their way to strike up a conversation. We will definitely try to book this hotel the next time we're in San Francisco.

“Cheap, well located, but nothing special.”

PROS: The location is fantastic! It is very cheap! CONS The elevator was broken. There was no garbage pail in either the room or the bathroom. The hallway smelled like there was recently a fire. The room smelled like a mix urine and cleaning supplies. Staff was kind of apathetic, but not exactly bad either. OVERALL Recommended for travelers who just need a legal place to crash in SF on a budget.

“Nice area but keep looking”

This hotel could be really nice but like most independently owned hotels in San Francisco they are run down. I booked a 'two doubles' and ended up in 1 king. Not cool for 4 guys! Went to bed late after a night of partying and realized in the morning I was sleeping on a pillow someone pee'd on from a prior visit. That can really leave you with a bad taste in your mouth! The hotel was too expensive, pretty dirty, and the rooms small. It's central to downtown SF and without a better option I'd consider it as a last option.
