Great place to stay, clean and great service. The location is good, there’s a bart station very close and just blocks from the Capitol. The only problem there are a lot of homeless in the area and the Uber driver said it wasn’t very sure at night.
Clean rooms and LOVE the heater towel rack. Hotel should not claim to have ANY sort of parking. We were told to use a public garage two blocks away, then when we came back after a night out the garage was locked up and we can to use one 4 blocks away. Not a big deal if you expect it, but sucks if you were not warned.
No parking or no location to drop off luggage . No food.
This place is just awesome. Really cool. The staff, the architecture. The room is cozy and really modern.
Excellent location for what we needed. The room is very small (I knew that when booking) for the price. I would recommend the hotel to put a few hooks on the walls for people to hang things including handbags or shirts. There is no charging port or outlet for the upper bunk.
This hotel was a great price for Sam Francisco. It isn’t in the best neighborhood and you will see homeless people. We felt safe walking around and could get where ever we needed quickly. Fisherman’s wharf was 2 miles away. Hotel is across the street from The Proper which has an amazing rooftop bar and lounge. Rooms are small, especially if you have a vertical cabin. But they are clean and work Well since you probably won’t be in your room Much. If that is an issue they have a 2nd floor with plenty of lounging space and free coffee!
I love how modern everything was. The staff was nothing but great and super helpful with every request. The hotel is well located with walking distance to every major attraction and or public transportation but unfortunately its a little scary at night because of the homeless situation. You cant walk down a block without being ask for money or being surprised by a yelling person. not kid friendly for sure.
YOTEL has the smallest rooms of any city hotel that I have ever stayed at and I say that despite having stayed in a number of cramped spaces in a number of crowded cities in US, Europe and Asia. The YOTEL room felt like living inside a closet, albeit a clean one. Our room had a queen bed with a bunk bed on top, but the main queen bed itself was a sofa bed which when flattened left only a foot of space around it. The room had no desk, very minimal shelf space, and only four hangers in the clothes closet (with no door and no drawers), so we basically lived out of our suitcase for the four days and three nights that we were there. The bathroom consisted of a small shower enclosure and a sink and toilet that were right next to very large windows in full view of the neighboring street and the buildings on the opposite side. There was no information inside the room on how to operate the smartTV or, more importantly, the lights which were particularly unintuitive to operate, and also no information about tourist attractions and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Checking in and checking out of the hotel involved monitors similar to airport check-in in a lobby called “mission control” with little to no customer service. I have also written a separate review of how the hotel staff provided extremely misleading information about parking options when I first arrived at the hotel. I hope we never have to stay at another YOTEL again
Rooms have no dressers or closets to hang or store your cloths
1. no greeting from staff upon arrival. instead a mute gesture to a check-in kiosk 2. no help from staff exiting building with a large bag 3. bathroom looks like a hospital bathroom. no counter space to place toiletries. I literally had to put them on the floor, where they got wet from the poorly designed shower. 4. lighting is atrocious 5. there was a rattling coming from the air vent. no option to shut off a/c so had to sleep with headphones on. 6. not impressed
Everything I had hoped for. Great hotel. Wonderful staff. Location could be better but everything else makes up for it.
We had a Queen Cabin which was small but not tiny. Our only complaint was that the toilet was so close to the rest of the room, and not well enclosed, that little privacy was afforded the user. Overall a very good experience and we will stay again.
The hotel itself was very clean, new and modern. The only thing i didn't care for is that the ceiling in my cabin didn't looked finished. However, it wasn't too much of an issue but a bit strange to see.
I loved everything about the hotel! Very clean. Only downfall no parking

Hello, Thank you for your insightful feedback. We understand that YOTEL’s unique take on hospitality is not for everyone. To ensure that our guests know what they are getting, our team works hard to communicate information regarding our efficient motif. It seems that, despite those efforts, you were disappointed by some aspects of your stay which we would like to apologize for. In the future, know that we do offer several “premium cabins” which feature floor plans that may be on par with your space expectations. Feel free to explore what they offer online or reach out to us directly if you have any questions. We will discuss your comments internally and use what we can to continue improving our offerings. Nothing would make us happier than having the opportunity to treat you to a better stay. Take Care, The YOTEL Crew
