there is a small italian restuarant around the corner that is very cozy, with excellent food. the lagsagne was great!! there are many restaurants to chose from.

the room was very small and the bedding next to wall must have been nailed to bed, because when i tried to pull it, it wd not move. the plaster around the sink was cracked and broken. we cd hear the people above us at 1am, some sort of party and we had to be up at 5am for a volleyball tournament.

My review of Mithila Hotel

patrick, St Louis, MO, 2006-10-14

Close to downtown.

This place was so uncomfortable, unclean that I could not even sleep at night. I had to leave the next day and check in at another hotel nearby. Huge difference!!! I would never recommend that place to anybody. That was a painful experience.

Nice retreat

If you feel like shopping instead of sight-seeing, there are many upscale department stores in the Union Square area. Whenever you want a break, have a cappuccino in one of the cafes.

The Mithila Hotel was a great value hotel. We like to stay in smaller hotels and this one fit the bill. The room was somewhat small but not too uncomfortable. It overlooked the street so we could always watch passersby to check whether we should bring a jacket or sweater. There was coffee on the second floor along with sweet rolls. Just the thing for early morning! The hotel was about four blocks from Union Square and the Powell cable car line and two blocks from the California cable car line. There were also alot of very good restaurants between the hotel and Union Square.

Bang for your Buck!

walk out and there you stand just steps away from shopping, eating and best of all entertainment.

Our stay was short. the price was right . the bathroom was clean,the sheets were clean,the staff was friendley, along with complimentary coffee. worth the money.

Scary neighborhood

The service was very well but the neighborhood was sketchy and the buidling was rather old.

Economical, but no amenities or frills

Best tip: the small liquor/convenience store two doors down (toward Hyde St.) sells Airport Express shuttle tickets, so you can easily arrange to be picked up at Hotel Mithila (shuttle runs every half hour, beginning at 4:30 am).

An economical choice for San Francisco travelers, if all you need is a roof over your head. Plan on hauling your bags up eight steps from the street (no other access of which I was aware, although there another entrance with the parking arrangement?), buzzing to be let in, and getting your bags into a self-serve lift/elevator for 2nd floor office/check-in. My room was very basic: bed, table, two chairs and a television; it was not air-conditioned nor were there screens on the windows (windows DO open, so keep an eye on any small children). Bathroom had no hooks or shelves (one fairly high towel rack)for hanging items or spreading out toiletries. I could easily overhear the other guests overhead and on each side, as well. Neighborhood seemed safe enough for a woman traveling alone, but not as near public transportation/attractions as some other hotels.

What a mistake

I would never stay at this hotel again. The room was very tiny, old, and decrepid. On top of that, the office staff were not very friendly. At times, they were rude. For example, I needed asssistance with obtaining a taxi one morning to attend a local seminar and was told to find one on the street. Well, I had to walk about 5-6 blocks before I could actually find a taxi and this was with heavy bags. Why couldn't they just call one?!

A room

Great shopping and eating withing walking distance for those who don't mind walking 15 minutes.

This hotel is great if you want an absurbdly cheap room, with no ammenities, and you don't have a car. There's no parking, so keep that in mind...it raises the price of the room. The wi-fi is not free. And I had to buy my own soap and shampoo.

Very good location

Sascha, Newark, NJ, 2005-09-06

There is a very good indonesian restaurant just 2 blocks away.

Besides the quality of the bed, everything was fine. The location is very good, a lot of restaurants are in walking distance and there is also good public transportation in short walking distance.
