The Powell Hotel - San Francisco

I needed a room on short notice and found this room on Hotels.com. The front desk staff was very nice and ended up giving me a 2 room suitevin the top floor. All amenities were great and the room was extrememly clean. It is right outside the Cable car turn around and Union Square. I would stay here again.

Very small room, but if you only want a place to sleep and will not be spending much time in your room, it will work for you. A lot of things to see within walking distance.

very good location. hotel itself is a little run down, but otherwise OK. Nothing more or less than what can be expected for the price

the radiator in our room clanged incessantly for an hour in the middle of the night. so loudly the people above us were stomping on the floor. i called the front desk, and they said there was no one here to fix it but it should stop soon. it did after an hour. 2 nights later, the same thing happened at 4am. i told them to get someone to fix it before […] i threw it out the window. they did, but only by turning it off. the temperature in our room dropped about 6-7 degrees, but it was worth being able to sleep. i will not be going back to this hotel.

Two words.... Bed bugs!

Very convenient location, bit noisy,checking in very slow only 1 person on and nearly 1hour for them to get your car. Rooms are clean but beds are not so comfortable and long wait for hot water.

The Powell is in a fantastic location, central to public transit and the downtown area. The staff were nice, but we didn't need them much. Drawbacks: The radiator hissed all night (I know that this is a given with these old oil radiators, I've had them in apartments...but having it right next to the bed made it hard to sleep). The toilet was finicky […] - you had to jiggle the handle to get it to stop running. The bed had a nice pillowtop but underneath was rock hard, so after two nights we had backaches. All in all, you get what you pay for and this was a bargain for being so centrally located. As someone who doesn't mind staying in hostels, the issues we had weren't overwhelming and I would happily book there again. Ďalšie informácie

The location is good, if you don't take into account that the neighborhood is a little bit noisy: the room window came out to the corner of the Market and Powell streets, almost right over the cable car stop. Otherwise, the location is very convenient: the hotel is in the very center of the city, the BART station is right at the hotel, and the convention […] center is just three blocks from the hotel. Besides, the price was also reasonable. I think breakfasts at the hotel could be better, if they included sandwiches. Ďalšie informácie

I found the Powell to be in a central location. Perfect for a tourist; however, the building seems to have no insulation/noise protection. It is located in a very busy section of Union Square, and we could hear absolutely everything outside (from fire alarms to people talking). So if you are a light sleeper, I do not recommend this hotel. Staff was […] very friendly and helpful though! Ďalšie informácie

Convenient location- Market and Powell; walking distance to Westfield and other shops, BART, ATM, restaurants, and Trolley. Hotel is older and rooms are small, but they have free wine/beer and appetizers from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Mezzanine, as well as a free light continental breakfast in mornings for guests. That and the location made it an excellent […] deal for the price. I would stay here again. Ďalšie informácie

A bit old, but the location is great

The Powell Hotel has a perfect location, we walked from there to almost all the places of interest we where expecting in our trip; The SFMOMA, The Asian Museum; theaters, good restaurants and all the stores you can need. However it surprise me a lot of people asking for help (money) in the surroundings. Also is very convinience because you can get into […] the trollei or the "urban trains" just outside the hotel. and get to the embarcadero- fishermans wharf area. very good trip! Ďalšie informácie

Dont expect any jazz from this hotel other than its located conveniently near the mall and the public transportation. Happy hour was pretty awesome but other than that it was just a place to wash up and sleep.

I read all of the reviews before booking so I knew it was going to be loud. It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting. If you are a light sleeper, then definitely bring ear plugs otherwise you will hate staying here. Can't beat the location. It's a 2 minute walk from the hotel to any public transit which will get you anywhere you need to go. I would […] stay here again. Ďalšie informácie

I stayed at the Powell Hotel for the Christmas Holidays. And I must say it is a wonderful hotel. The stay in San Francisco was made more memorable by the hotel. I am fully satisfied with the services, the location, the cleanliness and comfort of the hotel. I would recommend this hotel to anybody. Thank you Hotel Powell for making our stay at San Francisco […] wonderful. Ďalšie informácie

upon checkin the front desk was not friendly while trying to manage valet and check in. there were too many cars/people checking in, no valet attendant and on a busy street. i was reluctant to leave my car unattended in union square area because parking enforcement is on their job at all times. the first room was unimpressive with low rent upgrades, […] but the kicker was the crusty food stain on the comforter which made me question the cleanliness of the entire room. we asked to move to another room, that took forever, and then the second night in that room we found a visitor in the bathroom, ben. ben is the name i gave to this roach because he was about 2 inches long and therefore deserved to be addressed respectfully.

RIght above the cable car stop on Market (which means it was noisy with the window open) this old hotel is still stylish and certainly convenient. The bed was comfortable. The room and bathroom small (like an old city hotel) but clean. In my room there was a problem with the radiator which meant it was very hot in the room and with the window open to […] let in cool air it was very noisy even into the late night. The "continental breakfast" that I was cheerfully offered was just sweet buns - not really breakfast food. In-room coffee would have been better. Ďalšie informácie

walking distance from bart powell st station. located at unioin square. huge room. can't beat it

in spite of some bad reviews we thought the hotel was great the rooms were clean the location was great the staff was very friendly. it was a super stay.. nothing to complain about..

This hotel was the best for our New Year's vacation. It was perfectly located next to all public transport including the cable cars. The breakfast and evening treats were a nice addition as well! Loved it!

It is ok nothing special no complian

If you're looking for a City hotel that is RIGHT AT SF Center, the Powell Street turntable, and all of Market Street, this is the place. Old school "salesmen's hotel" with small rooms, but you're not going to SF to hang in your hotel, are ya'? Thin walls, small rooms, perfect location. Your call, but I'd stay there again.

This is a good hotel, clean and in a very good location. Great hotel if you are in a budget.

A bit noisy, but it's because you're in the heart of downtown. Great for the price.

The best part about our stay at this hotel was the location. Right on the corner at the Cable Car turnaround on Powell. It doesn't get better for ease of use of the transit system for San Francisco. The hotel itself, though boasting a recent update was anything but. The room was anything but updated, the bed uncomfortable and cover in a plastic mattress […] pad, the radiator heat, though charming, was difficult to gauge and we were either very very hot of too cold. The view from our 4th floor room was a walled building and the bathroom ceiling full of mold. I had a huge problem with allergies while staying there. No I would not recommend this hotel to a friend unless they were looking for a perfect location and a shabby hotel. Ďalšie informácie

One of the most conveniently located hotels I have ever stayed at. Comfortable - almost luxurious. Staff friendly. Happy hour thrown in. Hotels.com rates excellent. What more you want?

Very great location and very good price.

Nostalgic and modern. Clean and comfortable. Parking is valet with unlmtd in/out but 33$... Same Pricing As other hotels in the area.

Very conveniently located near transportation(BART/MUNI and Cable Car terminal) Typical big city noise. Hotel is old and it shows. Heating by steam radiator did not seem to even work until after the sun went down. Only one ice machine, on the third floor and down two long hallways, serves the whole six-story hotel. Bathrooms are modernized very cheaply. […] "Re-Bath" type bath/shower update. Room walls not at all soundproofed. You will hear every conversation in the hallways. Ďalšie informácie

It is just next to the Powell BART station and is very convenience to go anywhere in SF. The hotel is very nice, provides with breakfast and snack at noon. The best is if the room has refridge.

I would not reccomend this hotel to anyone. The staff are not friendly or helpful!!!! It is not in good location with people sleeping out on the street in front of the hotel and begging people for hand outs. It is not very family friendly. I would definitely stay some where else.

The Powell is in a terrific location in downtown San Francisco convenient to shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing. My only negative is that parking is inconvenient so because of the proximity of public transportation I wouldn't bring a car with me next time.

Pretty Good

The hotel was right on the cable car line - close to everything. The staff was very helpful - I asked lots of questions.

I recently stayed at this Hotel and found I almost wanted NOT to upon check-in! The male attendant at the desk (appeared to be perhaps multi-racial) was extremely rude! I almost cancelled due to this - thankfully, one of his co-workers (a very nice asian gentleman) noticed my frustration, and he helped me with the details of my check in. The lobby looks […] nice - and makes you think the rooms are also modern. The windows were old and had cracked paint around the frame, however the bed was comfortable, and the newly renovated shower and bathroom were very nice. The room was extremely tiny, however - but it suited my needs fine since there were only two of us staying for the night. I wished someone mentioned there was a continental breakfast on check-in, because I would've been sure to wake up in time for this - and I only found out when I found a flyer (after the fact) on one of the bedside tables. It was nice to hear the cable car right outside our room - and although it was a bit noisy outside at times, it was to be expected since shopping surrounds the hotel and it is the holiday shopping season. One thing I really liked, was the little cafe downstairs. They offered lots of tasty looking sandwiches, many gourmet in nature, and about 10 different varieties of soups all of which sounded very yummy. I opted for the freshly squeezed OJ. Overall, it's a "nice" hotel - definitely NOT one of the fancy schmancy types that surround the city - now, would I stay there again? Most likely - since it was more affordable than the others around Union Square area - and like I said, it was clean, and really that's all that matters for any stay. Now, if that same attendant is working...he just better stay away from ME! I guess you get the most "bang" for your buck here and it's "decent". Ďalšie informácie

This hotel is a bit on the older side but it has a lot of character. The rooms are clean, restroom is a bit small but overall the hotel is great for sleeping and resting. The one thing I would like is a heater as the nights do get cold in SF. The location is perfect, right next door to Forever 21 and across from Gap. The trolly is right in front and […] Bart and Muni are a few steps away, literally. Great location overall. Ďalšie informácie
