The SW Hotel is by far the best-located, best value-for-money, and cleanest hotel that I have encountered so far in San Francisco. I highly recommend it. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and efficient. There are plenty of restaurants very nearby, and not just Asian ones (the SW Hotel is located in Chinatown). I just ate an excellent French breakfast... More

Not a bad pricer for SF, the exterior rooms with windows facing outward to the street are somewhat more spacious, ours overlooked Grant St. Room was clean, bed was fine and it felt secure. Friendly staff was a plus too. The breakfast is nothing to get excited about, though we were grateful that we could quickly grab a coffee, pastry... More

My partner and I stayed here for a weekend from 4th to 7th Nov 2011. We found it clean and comfortable and in a very lively area (especially in the evening). Easy walking distance from everywhere. The rooms were basic but very good. Ours faced a brick wall but was not a problem for us as this meant it was... More

If you're looking for a clean comfortable room without the fuss, try SW. I stayed there for 4 nights to attend a conference in the financial district. The staff was unobtrusive but helpful, and the lobby was well lit and quiet. The room was small but had everything needed for the single traveler- comfortable bed, enough room to stow away... More

Picked this hotel as it was within budget and was in the center of town. First view of the room was a little disappointing as there was absolutely no view whatsoever and then realised that we had asked for a quiet room so it wouldnt be street side and noisey and we could sleep in :) It was quiet, and...

When we arrived we were checked in very quickly and went off to our room. The room was a little dated, but was very large and clean. We had to check our booking details as there was no mention of breakfast when we checked in so we werent even sure they provided it. We went down to reception and asked... More

I picked this hotel after doing research on several San Fran hotels, and was very happy with my decision. Stayed here for 4 nights, and overall enjoyed my stay. It's in great location right between Chinatown and North Beach (little Italy) and not too long of a walk to a lot of the touristy stuff (definitely plan on some strenuous... More

We stayed three nights at the SW hotel, because it is an affordable hotel, especially when you consider the excellent location. The rooms are clean but rather small. And we were unlucky to have rooms 337 & 338 right next to some noisy Chinese restaurants that only close after 1 o clock at night. The hotel building itself has no... More

I stayed at SW Hotel and found the hotel is pretty nice, except for the fact that reception is often unmanned (which is intolerable). I nearly waited for 20 mins to get my check in done because of unmanned reception area! Not a very good initial impression. However, room is clean and well appointed with decent size. Location of this... More
