Top University of California Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"Good rooms, front was under construction but it’s in a good location!"

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great property, close to public transit, clean and nice looking. The shower was a little strange because it creaked so much it felt like I would fall through the next floor. The AC is extremely loud."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Staffs are nice, room is clean, and location is convenient to every where."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Me gustó mucho. Lo recomiendo"

The Metro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great!"

Twin Peaks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Was hesitant to stay with the shared bathroom but honestly was never a problem during my 3 night stay, there are two bathrooms/showers in each hall from what I saw, and the sink in the room is nice to get ready in your room. The bed in the room was comfortable too. Other reviews mention the noise/thin walls. Maybe it was a slow week and my room was towards the middle of the building but it never was especially loud, even during the night. The location in the Castro is great, close to Safeway/cafes/restaurants/public transit. I would see the cleaning ladies in the morning and say hi and they seemed nice, the whole place was always clean, the only negative would be the soaps in the bathroom and hand sanitizer in the bathrooms were completely empty, I suspect they don't refill them."

Casa Loma Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lowe budget hotel, I like it was super clean, perfect to sleep only, I only have one complain the room above mine was making a lot of noise."

The Hotel Castro San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"I wasn't sure how it was going to go with No front desk person. But it was very easy and smooth. My room was a perfect little cozy place, big windows letting in natural light. I had a backyard ground floor room. Felt very home like. The rooftop patio gives awesome views. The location is incredibly convenient for all things castro. Will absolutely stay here again and again."

Parker Guest House San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place. Highly recommend. Thanks!"
