I enjoyed my stay at The Mosser. The hotel was in the center of everything and was super close to the Powell St. BART station. Yes, the room was small, but that wasn't a problem. There was room around the bed and enough space for two people to sleep and stop off to change. It was very clean and the bathroom had lovely tiles. I liked that the sink was outside the bathroom, even! It's an old building, so some things (like the grout), might not look fresh, but it was tidy and well-appointed and charming. I'll definitely stay at The Mosser again when I visit San Francisco.

I stayed one night. The room was fine. TV worked well. Shower stall - good. Staff was very helpful. I had food that needed to be refrigerated and they were very accommodating. Negatives: walls very thin. Was kept awake by man snoring next door.

Rustic and not very well maintained. Only coffee and hot-water is provided in the morning. Rooms have a strange chemical smell, and no air-conditioning (only water based room-heater).

The Mosser is a grand old hotel. If you expect that, you'll see how well it's been maintained and that it is an incredible value. The bones are old, the finishes are antique, but the services and infrastructure are up to date. No frayed carpets or tattered edges here.

I really like the hotel rooms and shared bathrooms were maintained super clean. Staff were very kind and super responsive. The rooms did not have refrigerators and microwaves. One room that I stayed did not have any chairs. There were no soap and shampoo in the shared shower areas. The hotel provided free coffee each morning, however, differently from the information of the room conditions, no muffins were provided in the morning.
