    Who Could Ask for Anything More? Based on some other reviews, I was concerned about the small rooms and noisy environment. Not too worry! Yes, the room is compact but it must have been created by a design genius! My husband and I did not feel the least bit cramped. Every bit of the space was used wisely and included a closet big enough to hang suits and shirts, with additional hooks along the wall. AND, lots of room under the bed to store luggage! I appreciated the small shelf beside the bed, big enough for a box of tissues and a cell phone, with a charging outlet below. We were in Room 204 and NEVER disturbed by any noise other than the hum of the AC. We did not miss having a Front Desk; we received text messages and our questions were promptly answered. I didn't expect but greatly appreciated the elevator that required our individual code for access, increasing my sense of security. Ahh, yes too: a mini refrigerator! Housekeeping is upon request. Even though I failed to put in a request the night before, it was readily provided the same day. Location, location, location. You just can't beat the location if you want to be in the Castro district, just a couple of blocks to the MUNI. AND, a fabulous grocery store right across the street. YES, YES, YES, we will return to Hotel Castro the next time we are in San Francisco.

    Amazing 10/10 Amazing experience! The rooms are small but are modern and have everything you need! Easy self check in, extremely comfortable beds, and free drinks at the lobby bar. Customer service readily available for any issues, but we didn’t need to utilize this as our stay was perfect! Would absolutely recommend and stay here again!

    Great small boutique style hotel in an ideal location. The rooms are small but very thoughtfully and efficiently designed to maximize the space, there’s even a balcony for enjoying the outdoors or people watching. The 2 rooftop spaces are amazing and offer beautiful owes of the city. There’s also a comfortable outdoor sectional with a fire pit table for evening relaxing. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again.
