San Francisco Hotels in Tenderloin

Pros: great location, nice and helpful staff

Cons: a bit noisy and messy in the pit, room not clean enough, too many people sharing bathrooms.

Pros: The facilities were nice and clean and the staff was always helpful

Pros: I especially enjoyed the free walk. It was on my first day and I met quite a few people I connected with over the next few days. It provided a great orientation to the area around the hostel. I also enjoyed my four-woman dorm accommodation. My roommates were quiet, friendly and thoughtful. I loved the location. It was close to public transportation, there was a convenience store opposite and plenty of nearby restaurants. I was looking forward to the biking the bridge tour, but it was cancelled because of rain. It turned out well because I biked the bridge independently with another woman from the hostel on a beautiful sunny day. We asked for the hostel discount at Blazing Saddles and paid $18 instead of $32.

Cons: The dorm was warm, but thankfully we had a room facing the street and could open the window. The price is likely competitive for San Francisco, but with the exchange rate of USD to Canadian Dollars, paying $92.46 CAD isn't good value for one night in a hostel dorm.

Pros: Great place to meet all types of people, had a great time

Cons: Nothing

Pros: clean

Cons: (1) Rooms at lower levels are noisy from the people in the street. (2) It had no parking counter to what advertised. They push on you a mandatory valet at approximately $40/day. (3) Internet is free for 20 min a day. Nevertheless, when you use it, at their business center, they have a slow mode option you do not know of. You find out at the check out that the default option, you thought was free for 20 min, is the fast option that cost approximately $1/min. (3) The streets in front of the hotel are full with homeless people who use the sidewalks like sleeping quarters and restrooms. For the rest, it was peachy.

Pros: The hotel was a better standar than I was expecting. The lobby was clean & fairly modern. The room was reasonably large and had good amenities.

Cons: The bathroom was very small & felt a little cramped. There was no free parking but this is to be expected in a city.

Pros: I was impressed by the staff when they offered to valet the car up early, since we had to leave at 5:30am. I found the room very comfortable, but my husband had issues. He could not cool himself down; the ceiling fan had been disabled, the window would not open, and the ac was either difficult or non functioning (probably difficult). He could not sleep and blamed the hardness of the bed. I slept fine and have no complaints

Pros: Super nice and playful front desk staff. I happened to mention it was my boyfriends birthday and the concierge offered to fill the room with balloons and a free bottle of wine! And they set it up as a surprise for when we got back from dinner! The car service was excellent, the decor was really nice- Indian type theme but clean and chic! Organic coffee and tea in the room, shampoo conditioner and shower gel in dispensers instead of minis to be more Eco friendly! I couldn't have been happier with our stay.

Cons: I didn't like the price, but that's to be expected in San Francisco! The building is old so the walls seems paper thin to outside noise, but not really from room to room, so didn't mind the sound of cars and people walking.

Pros: Great location and value for the money. Morrocan decor, very clean and comfortable.

Pros: Chic style

Cons: The heater didn't really do much, the room was cold and it was a pain to get out of the blanket. And, there was so much hollering from the street front.

Pros: Staff are very friendly and enthusiastic. Price is OK

Cons: Rooms are very small and the neighborhood is not safe.

Pros: The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was great. I stayed in San Francisco numerous times and for the price this hotel was a great stay/great deal. Would recommend.

Cons: When we arrived the room felt cold to us. We are from a much warmer climate than SF. Turned on the heater and didn't heat up. Called the front desk and was told the heat in the building was on a timer...comes on at 9pm (it's a radiator). They offered to send up a space heater.Within minutes we had a space heater. Problem solved. Great staff and super friendly.

Pros: The hotel itself is attractive. A boutique hotel with a great lobby, warm staff and cute charming rooms. The bathroom was nice. Our superior king room had a walk-in closet with two entrances. The room had a dimmer for the main ceiling light above the bed. It's a short walk to some nice bars. Union Square is about a 10 minute walk. The price is great for the quality of our stay, especially giving the going rates on much of the city.

Cons: The floor of the bathtub was slippery, so I had to be very mindful when showering. There is however a short rail / bar along the shower wall that came in handy when stepping into the bathtub. Like many buildings in SF, it's an old building and the walls are a bit thin. You occasionally hear sounds through the walls (i.e. steps, hallway chatter, clunks of objects moving through the hallways), but nothing out of the ordinary.

Cons: Our room on the 16th floor which had a great view was right next to the elevator motors. One or more of the elevator motors had bad bearings or a worn armature as there were a constant hum and winding sound similar to a low police siren. We could not move due to the Hotel being full.

Cons: Expensive mini bar, breakfast etc

Pros: The staff and location were both excellent, the bar is also fun (and the reason I knew about the hotel to begin with). There sure are a lot of interesting chairs around! Room service was prompt and the food was tasty. The bed is comfortable and the rooms have pretty good noise control.

Cons: The rooms are in dire need of updating. We stayed in a studio so the size was good, but things just seemed old. The walls needed touch up paint, the bathtub was peeling (about a 10'' section was missing plaster), the grout was stained, the hair dryer must be from 1985, the thermostat is old making it hard to control room temperature, the faucet was probably really awesome 20 years ago, but now it is difficult to get it in the "off" position, not good in a state experiencing a drought.

Pros: Great food, staff and service.

Cons: Valet took a little long.

Pros: Classy Good room service food

Cons: Hidden cost for valet parking - $52 a night Hidden cost for a 50 cent aux cord - $100 deposit Hidden cost for more than 5 glasses ordered for guests House keeping failed to clean my room one day when I called them before leaving for the day specifically asking them to tidy up No Hot tub or pool

Pros: I loved the large room! The space was great. Loved the airy feel.

Cons: It’s just not very nice really at all, room wise.

Cons: The room and hallways where dark, the bathrooms are in bad shape (old and rusty), the tv was small and didn't have on demand. It used to be THE PLACE TO STAY in SF... Not anymore...needs a remodel urgently.

Pros: The location was very convienent. I chose to park down the street and save $30 for over night parking. Nice pillows and comfy bed.

Cons: This hotel is really small the room was giving me an allegric reactions I could not breath, until we forced the window open. The shower curtain and shower smelled really bad. That was gross. I will not be staying here again.

Cons: Needs an update!

Pros: Room was nothing special the lobby and bar were cool

Cons: The room was was average and bathroom was very old decore

Pros: The bed was very comfortable. The room was dark with the curtains pulled closed.

Cons: I stayed at the Clift this past weekend with my wife for a "staycation" away from the Oakland grind we call our normal lives. A few concerns with the Clift Hotel. When we arrived we were unsure about how the valet worked since there are no signs or "red jackets" (they wear black). We had to circle the block and call to find out what the deal was. It's also expensive, $52+ tax per night. Once we were in the Hotel we were told that our room wasn't ready, which was completely fine since we arrived 3 hours prior to check in time. We happily checked our bag and went for a stroll around union square. The problem is that the woman at the counter said we should expect a phone call with in the hour when our room was ready. We waited the hour and then another hour. No call. We then returned to the Hotel at 3pm and were told by the same women that it "should be ready within the hour."This would take us up to check in time...Finally at 4pm we complained and a manager upgraded us to a Jr. Suite and promptly gave us the keys. Sales Training: under promise and over deliver, not the other way around. Finally we arrive in our room and its pretty nice. It was on the 15th floor and the view was pretty urban SF high life. We were happy. The tub and painted surfaces were chipping and sup par. apparently this room costs $450+ per night, If I paid that I expect a little more attention to detail and quality. We dined at the Velvet Room, the Hotel's restaurant. We were offered a cold and breezy table next to the hallway leading to the bar but were happily seated in a lovely booth when we requested that. Dinner was delicious. The Redwood Room, their high shelf bar, is always crowded and all seating is reserved for $350+ bottle service. The common areas are nice, warm, and cozy. The room is three star. The overall experience is ok, we'll try another place next month and report back.

Pros: Private sleeping space achieved by curtains Great free breakfast Lockable spaces for suitcases in the room

Cons: Shower didn’t work properly

Pros: Location. That is literally the only upside here.

Cons: This hostel has literally ZERO soundproofing. It is attached to a band practice space/karaoke space, which I get is part of the draw for some people but there is NO WAY TO SLEEP here. It is like being at a concert-even on the third floor, constantly until almost midnight, and after that even just your neighbor opening and closing a door, or the street noise is so loud that I had to put in noise canceling headphones and take extra sleeping pills. Its all amplified so much. I literally got maybe 3 hours of sleep here each night that I stayed. The bathrooms were never clean, and the staff was less than friendly. There is no elevator and no one offers to help with luggage. I would never stay here again.

Pros: Such a nice hostel for the price. Did not feel like a last minute option.

Pros: Pretty good location. It is located in an area with lots of restaurants that serve good food. If you have a problem with musicians practicing, playing music in thw basement until 11pm then do not book here. They even warn you on their website.

Cons: Having to share a bathroom is not one of my favorite things. Also, felt the room could be cleaner.

Pros: Everyone is friendly. Was not worried or paranoid rooming with so many strangers.

Cons: Since bathrooms are shared, the hotel should be cleaning them more frequently. People go in and out and not everyone is a clean person. I had to clean the counters because everything was wet and there was no place to set my things. There was water all over the floor and need to be careful how you walk.

Pros: I did like that the owner promotes music. I am not a musician, nor do I ever wish to be. But Googling this "Music City" Hotel has a few haters. When I left (today ) 10-09-2015 there was construction adjacent to the hotel (next door) looking inside ... I think there is expansion in the future. Good for this owner to foster Music. AND young musicians. Julie

Pros: I like hostels because they're a good value for an area of the city that can otherwise be pricey. The staff is laid back yet professional and knowledgable about the local area. I stayed in a small room with plenty of storage, sink, fridge and TV. I liked having the large window to the courtyard/ open area that you can open completely.

Cons: I was worried about getting enough sleep because of the music rehearsal studio that is in the basement. While in my room at 9pm I could hear the band play muffled but clearly. The tv would cover the sound easily. This went on and off till 11. I could hear some construction sounds from next door through the open area out my window until 7pm, but not again until after 9am.

Pros: Clean, comfortable, friendly staff. The building has a lot of character and is in a relatively convenient location (a little far from the BART station).

Cons: Not a lot of noise insulation from other rooms or hallway.

Cons: Dirty
