Built in 1920 and family-owned and run, Touchstone has been providing San Francisco with a combination of traditional San Francisco charm and budget travel for decades. A short walk to Union Square and the top destinations of the city, Touchstone is reminiscent of the hostels that peppered the city at the turn of the century. Modest rooms are clean and outfitted nicely. However, travelers should note that not all rooms are air conditioned.
The hotel houses 60 guest rooms. WiFi is available in all sections of the hotel. Guests can enjoy the complimentary coffee and transportation. The staff is friendly, offering multilingual staff and full concierge services. A barber and classic San Francisco style delitesserian are conveniently housed on the first floor.
Loale may be the number one draw for guests staying at the Touchstone. Desirable neighborhoods such as Nob Hill, North Beach, Wall Street West, and Chinatown are a short walkway. The quintessential San Francisco trolleys are close enough for guests to hear from their room. The posh district of Union Square lies at the doorsteps of the hotel.
