I booked this hotel on Hot Wire after deciding to take a gamble. I was about 90% sure it was the Powell and it was a great rate for the location so I booked it. Then I read the reviews and had a bit of a panic. Bed Bugs??? So I was a bit worried what we were coming to.... More

Awesome location!!! In the middle of everything. No parking around the hotel but had a valet parking which was excellent. When checked in, the front desk was very friendly, quick, and helpful. Also we were given a very warm welcome by the general manager who gave us more info about where to & in & outs of the city. The... More

The staff was friendly, the location is excelent, but the cleaning is to bad. The continental breakfast is too bad too.

It's located in the heart of downtown. You there's buses, trains, cabs etc. to take you around the city. Union square is walking distance. Lotsa good restaurant nearby. The staff are very friendly. I'd highly recommend this hotel

First of all, you absolutely can NOT beat the location. It's back door is quite literally at the Powell street cable car turn-around.

Ok, the hotel itself is nice and clean, and hotel staff... More

We enjoyed our 2 nights here. The first room we were given was pretty worn out. They moved us to a better room. It is an old hotel so shows signs of wear but still has a nice feeling to it. The common areas and hallways are redone and nice too. We enjoyed the evening happy hours and they have... More

My friends & I stayed the night in San Francisco, and the Powell hotel couldn't have been a better place to stay. Location is excellent; across the Westfield mall, next door to forever 21, & 5 minute walking distance to union square! The staff there is very nice & welcoming, rooms are very clean, & service is excellent. Staying at... More

The Location is GREAT! Powell is located near the cable cars and easy to access Bart. Powell is located in Union square and a lot of shopping centers are within walking distance. The room was small but it was very clean. the beds were comfortable. Although the location is great it is located in union square so at night you... More
