I had brought a group of the students I work with here as well as colleagues. We stayed here for two nights, we had a block of private rooms and two suites. Therefore, we got to see lots of great artwork inside the rooms. The beds were super comfortable and private rooms came with a little refrigerator. The suites came... More

I really, really wanted to love this hotel. Honestly, I was really rooting for Hotel Des Arts to come up trumps. But it didn't, what a shame. There's such great potential too. We stayed in room 503 on the top floor. It was one of the painted rooms and was really cool and quirky. When I opened the door I... More

Some of the rooms are beautiful. Unfortunately I got stuck in one of the rooms done in graffiti "art," which looked more like that room you see in the movie when the police finally find where the serial killer lives. Difficult to be comfortable there. However -- the location and price were great, staff was wonderful, and I would stay... More

Fantastic unique hotel in a great location. Very short walk to Chinatown, metro and downtown. Room itself was very comfortable with a lovely bed (made getting up difficult!), large flat screen TV and ensuite. Room was decorated in a very unique style and the styling of the hotel overall makes it a memorable stay. Breakfast was a bonus with great... More

We loved this hotel, the rooms and bathrooms are clean and the staff are extremely friendly. Amazing art throughout the whole hotel, The best value hotel in San Francisco. We stayed in a room with shared bathroom for 8 nights on our 5 week honeymoon and this was my favorite hotel in the USA. Would stay here again and recomend... More

We stayed two nights at this hotel. It is located in the center of San Francisco and given the prices in the city, it is a good value. We liked our room; it had a view over a small well, with a beautiful graffiti over the walls. The room itself was small but comfortable, we even had a bathtub! Regarding... More

This is a great hotel nestled in the midst of a bustling community. It’s a short walk to China Town and there is a plethora of shops and restaurants nearby. It’s unbelievably cheap for a hotel in San Francisco. The hotel itself reminds me of another era where rooms were small and hallways narrow. It’s a boutique hotel without all... More
