I was looking to spend one night in San Francisco and started looking for hotels. Hotel Vertigo stood out because it seems like a great value for the area of SF that it is in. When I got there, I was actually a little surprised. The building looked old but the inside was definitely redone. As most other reviewers pointed... More

We booked the hotel based on Trip Advisor reviews and recommendation from a travel agent friend of ours. Great location in Sutter Street, very funky lobby area, free wifi, and room decor were all great! Our room was very quiet - at the back of the building - however it didn't have fantastic natural light which I normally crave but... More

We stayed 7 nights in this hotel and really enjoyed it. The staff were really friendly and informative.....Sam and Christina were great....Thanks Guys. Our room was a lovely Vertigo room with a fridge adapted for people with walking difficulties which I have. That was the the only set back for me....too far up Sutter Street for me. It would normally... More

Super cool little boutique hotel in the theme of Hitchcock's movie Vertigo. The decor is amazing, all oranges and whites, the location is very walkable to Union Square, professional staff, comfortable beds, coffee in the morning. Best of all, VERY reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

Hotel Vertigo is a hip dog-friendly hotel located at Nob Hill, near SF's famous Chinatown area. The hotel was very thoughtful and arranged our room away from the elevator, down the hallway so that my dog would not be stressed at the hallway foot traffic & noise. The room itself is a good size and very comfortable & clean. The... More

Lovely hotel in very good area to get around. Gregory, and the rest of the staff, were very friendly and helpful. They gave us all the advice we needed and the best ways to get around. The breakfast box was also ideal and had plenty for everyone inc free tea/coffee in reception area.

Okay room for a budget stay between area and money nice cafes couple blocks away. nothing much around though. We got a room overlooking neighbor's nice green backyard garden. However, the window can not be opened to let air in, so the room at times smells musty and humid (especially the bathroom). The room itself like other reviewers in tripadvisor... More

The rooms are of ample size with a clean modern look. Lots of orange so maybe good for those from Holland! Shaun on the front desk was wearing an excellently groomed moustache and was very helpful. Location is within walking distance of most sights given SF is quite spread out - the neighbourhood felt safe and there were ample amenities... More
