Don't be frightened by hallways that seem like the setting for "Barton Fink" or a Dashiell Hammett mystery (they're being remodeled). The rooms are perfectly pleasant small pension rooms, nicely decorated with new IKEA furnishings, comfortable new mattresses, and even a microwave/mini-fridge. Baths are down the hall, but newly remodeled and clean with good water pressure. There's free Wi-Fi in... more

Originally booked a hostel, but on reading bad reviews, I switched to what was listed on Hostel World as a "Budget Hotel". On arrival, I was met by a shiny new foyer. The staff, whilst a little brash, were helpful, and always available should we needed them. The upper floors of the hotel however are still being renovated, but certainly... more

But don't look for St Paul hotel in Kearny St, because it doesn't exist. You must look for North Beach Hotel. We were here for Chinese New Year Parade and it was very nice to be so close. We had a room with a view on the street, nice for the parade, but very noisy during the night. more

My stay was great, initially. The hotel is a budget hotel actually, but it also doubles as an extended stay hotel, but not like the big chain extended stays. The hotel was built in 1907, hence the shared bathrooms, but you will never have to wait for a bathroom because the have enough on each floor. I think they have... more

The room I stayed in on the first floor was very clean but small. The shared toilet and shower rooms were very clean and I did not find myself competing for the facilities with other guests. When I initially attempted to check-in I was informed by the receptionist that I couldn't check-in because she 'was too busy'. Another request to... more

Got a room on the second floor next to the street. It was so noisy the first night (Saturday) sleeping was difficult. Went to the drug store and bought ear plugs the next day, which really helped. If you go, ask for a room away from the main streets. Also, because there are no screens on any of the windows,... more

I was very disappointed with the hotel. The staff are RUDE. I have not encounter such rudest people in the world. The hallway is very scary and dark and smelly. Room is small and the surrounding area is noisy. There are lots of homeless people around the area and some could even walk in to the lobby. The facade is... more

Choose that hotel was the best idea i've had. It's so cheap (around 25$ per night), i've got my own room with a good bed, two lights, a fridge, a microwave, a washbasin, a desk, a huge mirror, a big window, a medecinechest, a tv (70channels), a closet, drawers, your own phone... It's not really spacious but, considering the weather,... more
