    A magical experience! The Hotel Castro is modern-yet-homey in a great location. They've thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and fun. Make sure to spend some time enjoying the views from the roof deck!

    Excellent location, comfortable modern and clean rooms - so glad we chose to stay here. The balcony was such a bonus and added so much. Plus the stunning rooftop and views.

    Unbeatable location! So close to all the fun and charm of the Castro but still on a quiet block. Really close to the metro and other mass transit too. The “virtual front desk” concept was new to me but the instructions were clear and intuitive. Branding and style were on point, many thoughtful touches made us feel welcome. Great balcony and comfortable beds. Would absolutely book again.
