Hotel Union Square
Mukul Nov 29, 2009
The location was great, and the staff was friendly, but the room was tiny (barely larger than the queen size bed, my wife and ... I had to walk sideways to cross the room to go over to the closet). Also the window was facing a wall and could not open more than a few inches. We stayed 2 nights and felt totally suffocated. I would not stay there again, and would forbid any friend to go there.

The hotel has been renovated and looks nice. However, the rooms are small and the building is old. More renovation would be ... needed to hide that fact. Not that I planned on watching T.V., but the thing was broken anyway. For a little more money I could have had a more comfortable stay.

I personally loved the hotel because of the neighborhood (in the Union Square fashion district) and the location (close to ... the historic and really handy Cable Car and Street Car lines) and the hip styling of a hotel with real personality. The rooms were a little Spartan... a bed, a chair, water closet and sink, but when your in San Francisco all your going to do is sleep there anyhow. The entire hotel was clean and well taken care of, the staff was courteous, and the concierge was really handy to have when hailing cabs and finding cool spots for great meals. The hotel has no restaurant, but considering how many good places to eat in 2 or 3 blocks your not going to miss it. Free coffee in the morning and wine tasting in the afternoon makes the hotel lobby a nice social spot to visit with other tourists and business travelers.

San Francisco's historic (and really handy for tourist transport) Cable Car runs right in front of the hotel. You can catch the Cable Car at the turn around right up the street or at the corner just down the block. That Cable Car will take you to all the spots you want to visit in North Beach (little Italy), China Town, and of course Fisherman's Wharf.

Bourban and Branch is a speakeasy place that does not serve food. But, they do serve the best cocktails in town. You have to call in advance and get a password. Oh, and dont use your cell phone.

Fantastic Location, horrible mattress
Jason Nov 14, 2009
Fantastic location if you're looking to do some serious shopping. Chinatown and the convention center are also close by. ... But the mattress was absolutely awful. My back is still hurting from how soft and springy the mattress was. The room itself was fine, just realize that its an old hotel with limited space in the bathroom. This is a small hotel so don't expect the workout rooms or dining options. With some many other places to chose from, why stay and eat at the hotel?

I'll Be Back
Boston Al Nov 10, 2009
My wife & I spent 3 days at Hotel Union Square for a much needed vacation. This hotel has a very European feel to it & unique ... decorations. Located in the heart of Union Square, everything was really accessible either by walking or taking public transportation. The one time we had to take a taxi, it was less than $10, including tip, to where we wanted to go. The only issues we had were that you could hear other people if they had their TV loud & the bathroom didn't have an air vent. Besides that, it was a nice stay. We will definitely go back if every go to SF to get away from it all.

A good place to stay if you are prepared
TravelGirl Oct 26, 2009
I stayed at this hotel during an exceptionally busy convention weekend in SF. I had read reviews warning about room size and ... noise, and was prepared. I reserved a room with two double beds, which seemed to give more space. As for the noise, well...it is right on Powell, which is very noisy, however the room I stayed in had a window a/c unit, which I turned on to "fan only" and that drowned out a lot of the noise. The hotel doesn't have central air due to age and structure of the building, but it is SF, which rarely requires a/c. The staff were REALLY great - nice and helpful. I had been on really long flights through several time zones, and arrived a couple of hours before check-in. My room was ready and the bed was very comfy! Definitely try out the wine tasting each evening from 5-7; it's fun and the wines were pretty good! If you are in SF for fun and a good downtown experience, then definitely stay here. Just be prepared for small rooms (I've stayed in MUCH SMALLER in NYC and Tokyo), and some noise.

This hotel is less than a block from the Powell BART station. Take the BART from SFO to the Powell station, then it's only a very short walk to the hotel. The BART ride is about $8 - a great deal! It is also in the middle of great shopping...you can't put a price on that!

Small Wonder
HollyWould Recommend Oct 26, 2009
I loved this hotel!! Step out the front door and you step right onto the cable car or the BART. It's located on Powell ... Street, which must be a very popular street in SF because there were people everywhere. The room was very small yet superbly decorated and exceptionally clean; I wasn't even afraid to sit on the bed comforter/duvet. The staff was very professional and available. Dining, shopping (both high end & discount), entertainment, convenience stores (e.g., Walgreens), Starbucks on every corner......you name it, this hotel is encircled by it all. I'd definitely stay there again.

If you come to shop, this is the place for you. Walk around one corner and you're at Ross, walk around another corner and you're at Saks Fifth Avenue. And if you come to eat, you won't be disappointed as there are restaurants everywhere.

The Good and the bad
Carlo Aug 9, 2009
The Good: Super location, close to everything you need for your trip. Close to Cable Car station, but don't think about ... getting on one because the line is long from 8am - 9pm. However, it is close to No.30 bus line (China Town, Fisherman's Wharf, Maria District) and F train (all piers). Close to many big department stores, and you can shop till you drop and still can make it to your room. Friendly Staffs. The OK: Small room, it is expected, but still, the smallest room I have ever stayed in. Got 1-2 feet of space around the bed. The Bad: This may be my fault when I booked, I didn't know the room doesn't have air-conditioning. My room is on the 2nd floor of a 6 story building, with a small window facing an enclosed building shaft. It was very hot and stuffy when the window is closed, and it smells too. Even with the window opened, there is no air circulating into the room. I think it should list with bold red letter that there is no airconditioning (as in many hotels in SF) then I would instead opt for another hotel.

Roadking66 Jul 28, 2009
Great Location: super close to everything in Union Square, BART is a 3 minute walk, walking distance to everything (we even ... walked down to the Embarcadero and Fisherman's Wharf), great restaurants (New Deli & Santorini - great food at reasonable prices). Didn't get a chance to partake in the hotels morning coffee or evening wine. Hotel is recently remodeled, rooms are very nice (but small), hallways are dark and erie??? Hotel is a little noisy, maybe because it's an old building? Bed was good, bathroom was very nice, housekeeping was very good and everyone was very helpful and friendly. We would stay here again without question.

Christine Oct 29, 2008
The hotel itself was great...however, the noise levels at night were extremely unbearable--loud sirens, cable car, screaming ... pedestrians, blaring music, etc...the hotel ought to sound proof their windows it was that loud. I travel a lot for business so I can tolerate some noise, but this was just over the top. The location was great as it was close to shopping and restaurants however there was a extremely high level of homeless people wandering around the area.
