I just came back from three nights at this hotel. I found it at a low price in the center of SF and after reading some reviews, decided why not. I'm glad I did. You couldn't beat the location. About a block from Union Square, about 3 blocks from BART/MUNI, about 2 blocks from Powell cable cars, buses and taxis... More

The room was small but clean (which is far more important to me than having a big room, especially considering I wanted to spend most of my time out exploring). The bed was comfy and I was able to sleep well each night even though my room was facing the street. Touchstone Hotel is in a great location near Union... More

San Francisco is a very expensive city most of the year, and that's the only reason why someone would stay at this hotel. Rooms are outdated and relatively small. Service was good, and the location is very good, a few minutes away from Union Square. If you can pay a little more, stay somewhere else. If not, it's a decent... More

This is a budget hotel ideally located in the heart of one of the greatest cities on the planet The rooms are clean and staff friendly and WiFi is free There is also an authentic and very good Diner on the ground floor which serves fantastic breakfasts

This is our second time staying at the Touchstone. The location is perfect for visiting San Francisco. Made our reservation directly with the hotel and got a better rate than booking online. The staff is friendly and helpful. As others have said it is more European in feel than American. If you are expecting elegance and lots of room you... More

Stayed at the Touchstone for 4 nights late Dec/ early Jan. First the good points: the hotel is centrally located, the staff are friendly, free wifi and the rooms are clean. Now for the important stuff : the road noise is loud 24 hours/ day, the decor is depressing, the rooms we stayed in first (Room 306) had a stained... More

We stayed here to be close to the Curran Theatre. It is the perfect location to be near the theatre. The room and bathroom were small, but clean. It reminded me of a small European hotel. The front desk staff were friendly. The wifi was hit and miss and the tv only had a few channels. That's about the only... More

To start with the good things: -Good value for money -The location was very handy -Convenience to taxis across the street -Comfortable sized bedroom area -Arranging late check-out was hassle free, although incurred a $40USD. Bad things: -Our room backed onto an alleyway which bums smoked weed all day and night in. The smell penetrated our room as if they... More

Located a few blocks from Union Square, walking distance to shops and restaurants. My room was quite stylish though not that spotless. One big plus though is that they had complimentary earplugs, considering that the area is quite busy/noisy. The bathroom was very basic but clean. Lobby is very small and the elevator is quite old, but it added to... More
