Excellent location, but quality is low. Lamps didn't work properly, the alarm clock was preset to wake me up at 5:30am, very noisy room in general (sounds of pipes, people, A/C unit, traffic). Room was tiny (which I don't mind) with view of brick wall. For one or two nights when location is key it wouldn't be a bad choice,... More

The Mosser has great location, a lot of character & does the very best with what it has. If you're used to 5*, this is probably not your ideal choice but if you like clean, tidy and compact accommodation, The Mosser is your hotel. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. For two people travelling internationally, not a lot... More

My wife and I stayed at the Mosser for the location, we were in SFO only for four days and we wanted a hotel near Market street. The Hotel is very small and the rooms are small but well organize. If you want to go to SFO and don't want to spend a lot of money for the night but... More

That was my second stay at The Mosser (I found it on a previous convention visit to SF a few years back). The location is ideal for conventions at the Moscone center, and also close to Powell Street station (on the BART line from SFO airport), Market Street and Union Square for bus, streetcar or cablecar to Fishermans Wharf etc,...

Was looking for a place to stay in April for a conference. The "official" convention hotels were pretty spendy for my budget and at The Mosser I was able to get a suite for less than the price of a regular little room at the other places. I think they only have one suite; it is on the 3rd floor.... More

Now I was a bit apprehensive when I first booked this hotel. I must admit I was being cheap about it but man was it the best decision I made. The staff was amazingly nice. The rooms were clean, bed was very comfortable and most importantly NO BUGS!! The rooms are tight spaced but once I got over that it... More

The price of this hotel and its location makes it difficult to pass it up. Powell St station for BART, tram to fishermans wharf around the corner on market street and strolling distance to union square makes the location perfect for a San Fran base. My room is small but perfectly formed and has fresh towels, toiletries, bath robes and... More

Found myself on a spontaneous trip to see the city and needed a place to sleep and park my things while I discover SF. The Mosser was the perfect place for a 24 hour stay. It was right in the price range of a nice boutique hotel and had all the right amenities. The hotel was clean, staff was beyond... More

As others have noted, the rooms are compact, but not unworkable. I did find myself deeply amused at trying to brush my teeth, as it took some pretzel-like twisting to get my face close enough to the sink-- but it was funny and not irritating or impossible. The beds are comfortable, and even though we had a front-facing room (4th... More

The rooms are small, essentially only for sleeping & I shared bathroom/shower facilities, but if you are visiting SF on vacation (wouldn't really consider this place for business), why would you want to be in your room otherwise? The city is amazing & this hotel does its part, offering clean, updated rooms at a very reasonable rate, with helpful staff... More
