Just in the middle of "down town". Nice place. Old hotel, but they had done renovation an maked them an dark, slowly okey style. No noice. Maybee to little bathroom. We were 4 people, but best for 2 only. Clean and nice people. You can walk and do not need taxi to many important places. Included restaurants, cable car, chinatown.ect

The hotel is fairly old and has suffered a bit the test of time, although the staff all were very kind and hospitable. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is a bit of a double-edged sword as it is central to so much of amazing SF, but unfortunately, that section of the Tenderloin is pretty sketchy after nightfall.

-very nice lobby area. Happy hour and breakfast are a nice added bonus. Lighting in room very dim and limited. Wish tv could be angled toward bed.

The staff was great. The hotel is old and it shows even though they try to hide it. The room had a faint musty smell. My window was right above the cable car turn around and it was quite noisy. You have no control over the heat/air. The location is convenient to everything downtown. Okay breakfast and good manager's reception each evening.

About as convenient as you can get (half a block from Powell Street BART and cable cars), it was also great value (the rate included wifi and a basic continental help-yourself breakfast). My room was basic but clean and comfortable. Shower only, no bathtub.

Biggest problem is that the rooms don't have air conditioning. The hotel is cute and clean. The rooms are tiny, but small. One thing that cuts both ways is that the rooms look down directly on the cable car turn...which is VERY cute, but also VERY noisy until around 10:00pm every night.

Everything was great except for two things: 1) I assumed there was AC - there wasn't; 2) We had a very early flight in the morning. Before going to bed, the concierge assured me that it would be outside and ready. When I called the following morning, a new concierge answered, said he knew nothing about it, and was very rude. He then called back and […] said that he found the note but, of course, he never apologized. Skaityti daugiau

I like that the Powell is conveniently steps away from shopping stores and across the street from the Westfield Mall. The hotel is generally well kept and up to date. There is no central a/c, but you can ask front desk to bring you a fan (which was dusty/dirty). There was a patch of paint peeling on the wall, but otherwise the carpet, bedding and furniture […] were very well kept. Parking rate is a little lower than average rates for SF. The staff is very friendly, professional and helpful. Warning: Do not go west of the hotel on Taylor!!!!! Stay EAST of the Hotel! Skaityti daugiau

Reception desk staff were courteous and very helpful. Location is great, just make sure you walk left, rather than right (where it gets grungy fast).

The Powell is conveniently located and "refurbished" enough to briefly mask its significant inadequacies. My room smelled of smoke. Paint peeled from the walls. Any refurbishment was done not to increase comfort but to create a temporary visual distraction from what was otherwise quite yucky. I would not go back.

But that's it. The room was really out of date, and the breakfast an insult. Expensive for what it is.

If it's convenience to the heart of SF you're looking for, you can't beat The Powell. It's at the end of the cable car line, across from the Westfield Shopping Center, short walking distance to Union Square and close to Metro & Bart lines. There are tons of restaurants close by. The rate and location override the age of the property. It's old and dark, […] but clean, and the old doors slam really loudly. These facts do not deter from a pleasant stay. This place is not fancy or elegant but it is competely fine for a trip to a busy city. Skaityti daugiau

Can't ask for a better deal, 110$ for a small but nice room (no a/c though) on the corner of Market and Powell...

This hotel is right next to the cable car hub and in the middle of shopping lover's heaven. The hotel is older but renovated with a lot of character. The rooms aren't fancy, but if you're in the middle of downtown SF, I highly doubt you'll be spending a lot of time in your room. The walls are thin, so if you're a light sleeper, good luck. Friendly staff. […] Upon check-in I found out that the wrong type of room was booked (2 twins instead of 1 queen). This was immediately fixed. I'll definitely be back. Skaityti daugiau

Price was great for this gem located downtown right in the middle of all the shopping you can handle. The Powell St. trolley car turnabout is right outside of the main entrance and stays packed full of tourist looking to ride or take pictures. Plenty of places to eat and bars within a 5 minute walk of the hotel and the hotel itself has a small deli […] with soups and sandwiches to go. Very courteous staff on hand and if you run into David working the front desk he is sure to take care of your every need. The only issue I had with the room was the mold around the bathroom window. Definitely will stay again when in San Francisco. Skaityti daugiau

Definitely an older piece of sf history. Something's were great like the service and location, but don't expect good water pressure from the showers. Overall it was a great stay would stay there again if I could get the same great rate per night

Very poor breakfast as good as not no bellboy to help in the evening and the day we reached concierge was rude

Tikras „Hotels.com“ svečio atsiliepimas

Can't beat the location, right beside BART station for easy access to/from SFO. Cable car turnaround outside the door and Union Square 2 blocks away. We arrived very late on our first night, and had a noisy room on the 2nd floor. Front desk staff very friendly and arranged for a move to a quiet room on 5th floor for remainder of our stay. Complimentary […] breakfast and evening cocktail hour made nice bookends to our days. Older hotel with smaller rooms but great rates, you have to give and take. Overall a great deal if you are planning on spending most of your time touring the city. Skaityti daugiau

Only offers valet parking, convenient location (right on market), had a corner room with a nice view but water pipe outside of the room clanged against the wall every time someone showered or flushed the toilet in the room above ours. Stays include continental breakfast and a happy hour. Room was clean but it did not have central heating, had to request […] a space heater as one of the nights of our stay dropped into the low 30's.

Excellent location, room clean and all basics provided. However, bedding featured an annoying plastic base sheet and the top blanket was thin - I had to request an extra after a very poor night's sleep. Overall our stay was good but note that the included breakfast is only pastries and small muffins - no cereal.

The hotel has very historic feel with original stair railing, windows, high ceilings. It was classic San Francisco which is what we wanted, but it was not as nice as the pictures and price would suggest. We were comfortable and it was clean enough, but it was definitely a couple notches up from a motel. I know this, because if we had spent $20 more, […] we could have stayed somewhere really nice. They advertised free continental breakfast, but when we arrived in the lobby about 40 minutes before breakfast were to end, there were 20 people waiting for coffee and food, because they had run out of it all. After 15 minutes, a staff member came running in with some pre-packaged danishes. So we skipped it and went out from breakfast instead. I would still recommend this place because we were comfortable and the location is good, but I would advise to wait until the price was low. Skaityti daugiau

Small room but very clean. I have to pay $33plus tax for valet parking. I think it was very convenience since we did not have to find parking in union area.

The Hotel is in a great location. The building is old and should be renovated to update rooms. Rooms need more electrical outlets and an extra floor lamp. Bathrooms need new everything and table or stand to place personal items on. Overall, we had a pleasant experience here. The staff is friendly and were very accommodating. Allowed early check-in at […] 1:30 and late check-out at 1:00. Skaityti daugiau

Cute retro hotel built in 1908 and feels like it with some modern touch up. The staff was great! Room was clean and bed was good enough. Our room was 5th floor up from trolly turn around. So we did hear the trolly start dinging at 7am but lived next to railroad for yrs so no biggie. But when the band started playing and the clown horn and microphone […] guy preaching it was time to get up. But hey wasn't in the city to sleep.

W knew nothing of San Francisco before we went but were glad we chose the Powell. We wanted to stay somewhere with access to transportation and restaurants because we weren't going to have a car. We could walk to Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown , the Coit tower and the Embarcadero. Numerous bus rotes went nearby on Market St, so wehad to transfer only […] once. Despite the fact that the cable car route was just outside the hotel entrance, it was quiet in the hotel, Enjoyed the evening hospitality hour. I would have liked to see fruit at breakfast, Beds were comfy and rooms adequately sized, old building with a lot of charm. Skaityti daugiau

parking nightmare with a fee. takes about 30 mins to have valet bring your car up. call the front desk in advance before leaving. conversely, the location is great for public transportation, which San Francisco is great at!

This site is at the heart of San Francisco, at the coolest section of Market Street. The main cable car stop is just a few feet away, and the city's best shopping is all around, including Rasputin, a 5-floor record store. Many busses and streetcars pass really close to here, so it's extremely easy to get around. Leave your car at home. One tradeoff […] is this: in San Francisco, the best air conditioning/ventilation is simply opening the window, but when you do, there will be some street noise. That's just city life, this isn't a remote chateau, so please bear that in mind. The Powell Hotel is a great place for active travellers who want to see as much as possible. This hotel is a very nicely remodeled retro building. The rooms are clean and comfy. Bathrooms are larger than other similar SF hotels. I honestly enjoyed happy hour in the evenings. I've stayed here a few times, and this will be my first choice again in the future. Skaityti daugiau

appreciated the complimentary continental breakfast and happy hour. Great location right off of Market and Powell.

I've stayed at this hotel a few times before, although each time it's been under different management. It was a clean room, spartan, yet comfortable. Bathroom was sparkling clean and had standard amenities. The staff were polite and helpful. There is no in-room programmable safe, so if you've got a laptop you'll want to take it with you or check it […] at the front desk. Also, because the hotel faces Powell Street, the front rooms tend to be noisier because the trolley turns around right there. So if you're a light sleeper, ask for a room that doesn't face either Powell or Market. Skaityti daugiau

The pluses: really nice staff and a fantastic location, right by the Cable Car turnaround where Powell hits market. The minuses: police sirens and very urban city noise at night (no soundproofing). If they'd just put an extra blanket in the closet I would have been really comfy. This hotel is more than 100 years old and it's history is pretty interesting. […] If you'd rather not stay at a cookie-cutter chain hotel and you don't mind a bit of city noise at night, then I can recommend The Powell wholeheartedly.
