It was an okay hotel to spend a couple nights. It was clean, quiet, and convenient for public transportation. They only gave us 2 towels, zero hand towels, and don’t expect any extras in the room. It’s good for a bed!

I like the location and the fact that it's near the cable cars and right next to Walgreens. The bathroom floor felt pretty dirty though, and I had to buy my own toilet paper. The room felt pretty hot with just the ceiling fan and no aircon. My bathroom was connected to another room, which was kinda weird even if it was locked so theh couldn't come in from their side. I could hear them pretty clearly from the bathroom, so it really felt like my bathroom lacked privacy.

The property is in a good location to getting to places you want to see! There are no staff at this location but at a sister hotel about 100 feet away. This is where you check in. You can hear people in the room next door. Overall great place to sleep & shower!

The hotel is okay. Not terrible, but not great either. It’s right in front of the cable car, so it gets noisy. Also, nothing bad happened, but the area around the hotel isn’t the nicest or safest.

Loved our stay! Excellent priced hotel, in the middle of everything! So easy to get to any vuses, walk to shoping, dining or drinking. We did have to walk to another hotel to check in, but it took literally a minute to get there, as it was right across the street. Our room was ready when we arrived 4 hours early and we got checked right in, which was awesome!

I generally really liked this hotel, love the old "styling", my biggest inconvenience was that Wifi was TERRIBLE I had to work bit during my stay, so ended up working from a small bench in a very small lobby. The only other thing I'd mention about the hotel itself is that there is no staff in it, everyone is over at the stratford. The area itself feels a bit unsafe at night, but it is close to everything.

From the warm welcome at check-in to the excellent service throughout my stay, everything exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail made my stay very enjoyable. I look forward to returning in the future and will certainly recommend your hotel to others. Thank you once again for your hospitality.

The Herbert is centrally located and perfect for those who are going to spend most of their time exploring San Francisco downtown. However, even thought the facilities are clean, they are minimal so be prepared. For example, we only had 1 chair in our room even though it was for double occupancy.

A good option for a relatively affordable stay in San Francisco, in a great location for walkable shops, bars, and restaurants, and to access the transport network. Reasonably quiet in the room considering the location. Let down a bit by poor cleaning in the bathroom, and lack of air conditioning.

No coffee maker. (Only instant and kettle). No person on site for check in. (Had to go to other hotel a block away). No wash cloths or face towels. No daily service. No value.
