I have never reviewed anything before but I feel so strongly against this hotel that I want to make sure others do not make the same mistake. We chose this hotel because they had the best price in downtown San Francisco. Little did we know what we got ourselves into. The outside looks good but once you walk out of... More

Great place, friendly staff, clean rooms, decent breakfast (no taking food out though, grr... ). Stayed six nights and will stay there again. Located right by the pickup point for bus tours and a block from the cable cars, walking distance from everything. Across the street from Starbucks, a nice restaurant and a liquor store. Shuttle to the airport for... More

I would like to apologize to the fine people who gave San Francisco’s Hotel Astoria a bad review. I cannot help myself, I love this place. Even after my fourth stay there, 9 nights at the end of March 2012, I cannot come up with any major flaw, or any serious inconvenience the Astoria has caused me. Quite the reverse!... More

We have stayed at Astoria Hotel for one night only. The hotel is centrally located just by the entrance to China Town and only 5 minutes walk from Union Square. It's a basic hotel but if you do not expect too much you won't be disappointed. The room was clean, there were towels and soap available (no shower gel or... More

Have you ever been to any hotel that has no microwave, no fridge, no AC, no hair drier,no ironing board, no internet,no doorcard? This is like that, and more. Everything is fallen apart, worn, dirty. You can hear the street noisy all night long, actually it feels like you are sleeping on the street, that loud! I can smell the... More

I chose the hotel by looking for cheap hotels close to my favorite bar in SF. For the price, it is very fair. And: breakfast is included! It would be nicer if the breakfast started earlier (it starts at 8). True, the breakfast is not super fancy schmancy (toast, coffee, muffins, etc), but good enough for me. I had a... More

We stayed at the Astoria hotel for 5 days. it has a great location, right next to the Chinatown gate and minutes away from the union square (shopping....). There is a free wi-fi in the "conference" room (there is nothing there but a big table, chairs, sofas and one TV). You can buy your food and eat there as well.... More

This hotel is all about location. If that is all you care about, this is your hotel... Close to everything.... My experience was the bedsheet smelled like bleach (at least I knew it was sanitary haha) the bed spread smells like dirty laundry and had stains (I dont even want to descrive it) The bathroom smelled like bleach too...... until...

This hotel sucks! No wi-fi on the 7th floor only on second floor. So if you are on the higher floor no wifi. The bed is so hard. Parking garage is so far. The only convenient on this hotel is next to Chinatown.

Disclaimer: this is my 2nd review of the Astoria. Let's start with all the negatives first: The Astoria is not a 4 seasons, or even a Holiday Inn. There is no nice-looking bedspread (they look old). There are no fancy bath products (theirs are usable - let's say that). The elevator is both old and slow. The room amenities are... More
