A friend and I made a hastily planned trip to SF last spring. We were expecting to stay at nearby hotel (I can’t remember which) based on a recommendation from a co-worker, but when we arrived they turned out to have no vacancy (and we didn’t have a reservation). We were referred to the Astoria. We walked in the door... more

I stayed at the Astoria Hotel for one week in May 2009. The hotel has a good downtown location. It is close to Chinatown, about half a mile from Market Street and about 3/4 mile from the Moscone Convention Center. My small room had a sink, but no toilet or shower. The toilet and shower were in a bathroom in... more

I stayed at this hotel exactly a year ago for two nights. I was 21, just graduated college. This was the hotel I started off my first ever California trip with, and I gotta say it didn't set the right tone for the rest of the trip. It was a decent price for San Francisco, and the best part about... more

This place is located right next to Chinatown "entrance gate" and short walk to everything you'll need, including nightlife and public transport. The room had everything we needed, i.e. bathroom, safe, two beds, and windows. However, the room was disgusting: the walls, the windows, the bathroom, the carpet, the fan heater, basically everything really really old and worn, but not... more

I went with my best friend to San Fran on spring break and we stayed at Hotel Astoria. We got the regular room with two twin beds and it was perfect! This room cost about $70 a night along with $20 a day parking garage fees. Being that it was next to the China town gate (the fire escape litterally... more

we were very pleased. friendly and helpful staff. the hotel itself is all you can get for the money you pay (60 dollar a double). the location is perfect for trips in all directions. the room was a bit noisy, because of the street. put something in your ears and it is fine. breakfast, wlan, and new towels every day... more

Spent there 3 nights in June 2008. The Astoria is located at the entrance to Chinatown, just in the middle of everything. The room was small (especially he bathroom) and basic, but clean. Staff was friendly. Considering the extremely low price (compared to other hotels this centrally located) it is very good value for money. No more, no less. If... more

Was pleasantly surprised after reading some reviews. Couldn't have been more convenient for everything including all public transport. Fantastic value for money given its location. Probably more like a good hostel than a hotel - no problems with staff, lift, cleanliness, noise etc. Room was basic with no frills (but it did have tv and phone) Breakfast was toast, jam,... more

my partner & i wanted a cheap place to stay during a conference - we refused to pay over $100 for some fancy pants hotel. the Astoria Hotel was decent enough: cheap, convenient location, friendly staff. i'd second what the other reviewers have said, the staff is nice, but not overly friendly or helpful. we were promised an iron. our... more
