Glad I was traveling solo as I felt two people in the room would have been too tight. There was noise from the bar underneath the hotel and on the street that facilitated the need for white noise to drown it out if trying to go to bed before 1am. Location is great to everything in the Castro. ##### Patrick Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel Jan 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The facilities were absolutely wonderful and I felt safe as a solo AFAB traveler!

Is queer friendly! It’s safe! It’s expensive but in a good way, because it’s that safe! I am new to the city and I get nervous due to crime being common in cities, but The Castro Hotel and the very district makes me feel safe and comfortable with myself and my surroundings. I love everyone one this neighborhood! ##### Tristan Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles Nov 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is one of those contactless hotels that I have been hearing about. Was skeptical about it but it was right around the corner from my kids' apartment so I went for it. It was great. Never saw another person while I was there. The "staff" was at my fingertips and was always making sure I was all set. I will be staying at their Alexandria location for my next trip. ##### Charles Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kai Jun 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Castro. The property is clean the decor is modern, the room size is on the smaller side but appropriate for urban setting. Have 3 stars for the following reasons: 1\. Broken/none functioning lighting fixtures for premium price cost. (Do have a video to show). 2\. Inconsistent hot water supply. Stayed on the 4th floor and the hot water was in and out. ##### Kai Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Liliana Dec 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good hotel for a quick stay I really enjoyed the location. It was so close to the Muni station and lots of great restaurants and bars. The free drinks with the tokens were a wonderful surprise. I did have a problem with the shower. I enjoy nice hot showers and, unfortunately, the water became luke warm within 10 minutes. Maybe that’s to encourage people to get out faster but right now, during the Winter, I like getting out of the shower nice and toasty. There was also a lot of noise happening at night and I don’t mean street noise, which was an anticipated concern. We kept hearing dishes clinking until nearly midnight, which I thought was strange. Overall, I would recommend this location. ##### Liliana Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manny Dec 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Small But Cute Boutique Room Visiting family for Thanksgiving and decided to fly in early to get a little SF getaway squeezed in. First, the location is AMAZING! Right in the heart of the Castro district. We are a gay couple, so this was heaven. Shopping, restaurants, clubs - all within a few blocks. And of course Muni is right there to get to other parts of the city easily. The room was (very) small but super cute! The decor was amazing. And very well laid out given its size. The size is an issue however - we couldn’t fully unpack since there was no room to put things. So if you are staying for a longer period of time, you may find it a bit uncomfortable. (we only stayed 2 nights). This also isn’t a regular hotel. It’s more like an Air BnB situation. There is no front desk. But there is a bar next door that apparently serves as the front desk. Just a heads up if you’re looking for a more traditional hotel experience. Overall we will definitely be staying here again when we come to SF. ##### Manny Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Abri - Union Square](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Abri-Union-Square.h15779.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Fishermans-Wharf.h578899.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Palace-Hotel.h27274.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-JW-Marriott-San-Francisco-Union-Square.h2063.Hotel-Information) > > [San Francisco Marriott Marquis](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-San-Francisco-Marriott-Marquis.h8737.Hotel-Information) > > [Chancellor Hotel on Union Square](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Chancellor-Hotel-On-Union-Square.h20547.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Francisco Union Square](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hilton-San-Francisco-Union-Square.h25622.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Golden-Gateway.h10538.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt San Francisco ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-San-Francisco-Union-Square.h5883.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clift Royal Sonesta San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-The-Clift-Royal-Sonesta-San-Francisco.h21073.Hotel-Information) > > [Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Parc-55-San-Francisco-A-Hilton-Hotel.h12539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nikko San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Nikko-San-Francisco.h23406.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-The-Park-Central-San-Francisco-Hyatt-Affiliated-Hotel.h491.Hotel-Information) > > [Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Sir-Francis-Drake-Hotel.h15254.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott San Francisco Airport/ San Mateo](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-San-Francisco-Airport-San-Mateo.h14873.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Zoe-Fishermans-Wharf.h3552.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-InterContinental-Mark-Hopkins.h24620.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Marriott-San-Francisco-Fishermans-Wharf.h20488.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zelos San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Zelos-San-Francisco.h225819.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [Stanford Court San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Stanford-Court-San-Francisco.h6271901.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zephyr San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Zephyr-San-Francisco.h9868852.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Francisco Financial District](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hilton-San-Francisco-Financial-District.h4302.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Fairmont-San-Francisco.h18200.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Kimpton-Alton-Hotel-Fishermans-Wharf.h1047.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-San-Francisco.h23774.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Fishermans-Wharf-San-Francisco.h22500.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn by the Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-By-The-Bay.h5984.Hotel-Information)
