This was my first trip to San Francisco. Since I was one a tight budget, I decided to stay away from the hotels closer to the tourist spots. The SW Hotel is just a few blocks from one of the cable car stops which was really nice. I was able to travel everywhere I wanted to go either by cable... more

Excellent location on the border of North Beach and Chinatown neighborhoods and the Financial District. Initially the neighborhood may be deceiving because there are topless dance clubs within view, but just around the corner on Columbus St. is the North Beach neighborhood with it's quiet streets, cafes, bakeries, restaurants and bars. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were... more

Great location, kind and helpful staff, clean and decent room. A little noisy try to ask for a room that doesn't face the front. I would definitely stay there again! more

I booked this hotel mainly drived by the positive reviews here and I must say it was a great choice. We spend wonderful 4 nights there and would recommend it to all leisure travellers to SF. First, the location. You can hardly think of any better in SF if you are a leisure traveller. Few steps south, and you are... more

I would recommend the SW Hotel to friends and family. The room itself was slightly on the small side, however the staff was very friendly, the room was cute, clean and comfortable, with a big size bathroom and great complimentary toiletries. I was very happy with my selection! We were in the heart of San Francisco within walking distance of... more

My wife and I stay at this hotel mid September 08 for 3 days prior to cruising. Definitely above average for price and location. Rooms and other hotel facilities are basic but very clean. Breakfast very basic. 10 minute walk to downtown, Fisherman,s Wharf and the pier. Little Italy and Chinatown at the door. If you’re cruising is only a... more

We found this hotel thru a Go San Francisco online offer - 2 nights for 2, queen bed, plus two one day Go San Francisco cards. Booked over the phone. Hotel appeared to be newly renovated, very clean, friendly staff. Included continental breakfast was very basic - breads, cereal, juice, coffee/tea but got us up and going. The location at... more

We were very pleased to have found this gem in San Francisco. Not many hotels for this price have such great access to the city, great rooms (big bed and lovely bathroom), cheap parking, and friendly staff for such a good price. We didn't have much of an outlook but it was very quiet and felt safe. Located at the... more
