For the rate you are paying for this hotel, it is indeed an excellent value. The rooms are fairly clean and the hotel in general is not as bad as some other reviewers have described it to be. If you are travelling on a budget then this hotel is a wonderful value. Also, the staff is very polite and courteous,... more

We booked this hotel last minute due to an unpleasant experience at another hotel. I can say that compared to other places this hotel is a great bargain. The olympic is clean and the rooms are actually pretty big. The staff was friendly and helpful. In short the hotel was an overall great experience for me and the wife. It... more

I got the Hotels.com rate of $50/night, and the hotel was not worth a penny more. The electrical outlet shorted when i plugged in a phone charger. The wireless internet did not work (and had not been for a few weeks), but several hotels within a few blocks had free wireless internet (I think the Monte Cristo was one of... more

I stayed at this hotel because of it's location and cheap price. It's close to everything I wanted to visit and do while in the city. The rooms were small, no cable tv but then again, I only wanted to get a room to sleep in that was clean and comfortable. If you're looking for something fancy with a lot... more

Be very careful about this hotel: I booked a room, but I had to cancel my trip to USA. So, I followed the instructions given at the site: I sent e-mails (two weeks in advance) to cancel my booking. BUT THEY SIMPLY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD!!!!!!!!!! Now they are ignoring my e-mails and refusing to give any excuse about the... more

We booked in for three nights, based on the information on their wesbsite - DON'T. The website is incredibly misleading. The rooms featured bear no resemblance to those in reality. The elavator smelled like garbage (we reliased why upon leaving when we were actually sharing it with a garbage bag). We were kept awake the entire night by the other... more

Come on folks, get real! I know San Francisco, so I wasn't afraid of this neighborhood. At $82 a night with a private bath, this is a good deal. Two blocks off of Union Square, near Powell Street Bart and Muni. Surrounded by the Parc 55, 1/2 block from the Hilton, clean, comfortable rooms, in room phones, good continental breakfast,... more

We spent 2 nights there, the room was cheap and quite clean but the bed unconfortable, a little but loud at night time but...remember that this hotel is in downtown and dowtown is always loud, day and night. This hotel was ok, I would come back there if I get a chance. more

Ok this was cheaper, it was in a superb location but it was horrible. The rooms were dirty, the bed was extremely small & uncomfortable. We stayed two nights leaving early in the morning only returning late at night when we were so exhausted that we could fall asleep without having to look around us for too long. The breakfast... more
