Epic rainfall shower

Amazing boutique hotel experience. Loved the epic rainfall shower!
Kristen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One of my favorite hotels of all time. Very convenient and is by everything. The staff is very nice and I love the bar downstairs.
Damien, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location good, value questionable

Good location, but expensive for the size of the rooms especially considering there were no staff on site.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel, could be more thorough with cleaning.

Everything was good, except the room had some sawdust from construction (?) and had to clean up cigarette mess from the porch from someone else.

Jairo, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location to many lgbtqia stores, restaurants, bars and clubs. The hotel is cute and secure! very walkable to everything we wanted to do.
Jorge, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this place! Perfect location, size and layout plus so many modern additions like Google TVs and hub. So much attention to detail overall. Will definitely stay here again when Im lucky enough to get back to SF! There's only one very small critique and that's the shower water pressure could be a little stronger but it was sufficient as is.
Joshua, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location! Rooms are small but otherwise nice. It makes a great stay for a good value!
Dorin, 1-night trip

Very easy check in-out experience. Bed was soooo comfy!

Overnight stay

Cozy and clean. But the walls are thin, I heard people talking and playing music all night . Close to restaurants and bars. Pretty safe to walk outside at night.

I was pleasantly surprised on how great this hotel was! Perfect for a solo trip and staying in a historic neighborhood

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the hotel!

The stay was amazing and it was convenient since it was by everything. I loved the bar downstairs and the people were friendly. Just the fire alarm was the issue but it was resolved in a timely manner.

Beautiful

Beautiful room and easy to check in and out. Right in the middle of all the fun stuff and easy to travel anywhere. We had a rental car and were entirely confused on where to park it overnight, but we managed.
Alexis, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent place in the Castro

Very compact room. Glad I was traveling solo as I felt two people in the room would have been too tight. There was noise from the bar underneath the hotel and on the street that facilitated the need for white noise to drown it out if trying to go to bed before 1am. Location is great to everything in the Castro.
Patrick, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this boutique hotel!

What a great boutique hotel! The check in process was very easy and they accommodated me with an early check in. Location was perfect. New, fluffy towels, Nespresso machine and electric kettle a plus!

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms a small but cozy. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. I liked that check in was all virtual.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice, but tiny

This is a new modern place, but the room was tiny and the hotel is digital entry, no fresh towels, etc. great location.
BG, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location in the heart of the Castro. Easy access.
Mark, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The facilities were absolutely wonderful and I felt safe as a solo AFAB traveler! Also, the staff were super kind and so helpful! I was super grateful for all of their help and they answered all of my annoying questions and made me feel at ease! Wonderful group of folks and stunning property!
Rachel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms are so cute and nice! They have cookies, coffee, tea, earplugs, eye covers, everything to make your stay comfortable and they even give you a token for a free drink downstairs! Location is also great. No staff on site, but honestly didn't matter because everything needed was provided. If you do need help, you're able to text them. Loved staying here.
Michelle, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location but its contactless entry and with many errors it took us 45 mins to gain access so the process was challenging
Liza, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love this place! Is queer friendly! It’s safe! It’s expensive but in a good way, because it’s that safe! I am new to the city and I get nervous due to crime being common in cities, but The Castro Hotel and the very district makes me feel safe and comfortable with myself and my surroundings. I love everyone one this neighborhood!
