    Amazing and perfect stay Loved this hotel. Perfect location for everything I wanted, very comfy and cozy, LOVED my king-sized bed. This was the perfect spot for a solo traveler, I definitely see myself staying here again! Being in the Castro, this hotel emphasized and highlighted the culture that makes this neighborhood. Especially loved the views from the Nest!

    Stayed here with my best friend, and we enjoyed every minute of it! The hotel is minutes away from popular Castro eateries, bars, and clubs - the hotel itself has its own in house bar, of which has amazing bartending staff, and not to mention the amazing rooftop deck (“The Nest”). The beautiful Dolores park is also just a quick 10-minute walk away, as well as access to the metro which is about a 5-minute walk from the hotel! Uber’s and Lyft’s are also very easy to use (we literally got dropped off and picked up in front of the hotel without any problems). While the hotel is self-directed, the Staff managing the hotel are available for your inquiries and or concerns 24/7 via text or through their Kasa page. From arrival to departure, everything was a breeze! 10/10 will be staying again!

    Great and convenient location, right in the heart of Castro. Close to bars, restaurants and public transport. Rooms are on the smaller side, but I was very aware of that and I was a solo traveller. If there were two of us might get too claustrophobic. Service is on point! Very responsive and helpful! Definitely will stay again!
