    The Hotel Castro is a wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of the Castro in SF. It's in a super walkable area and accessible to public transportation. In addition to the room being very clean, albeit small (that's SF for you), the bed is the most comfortable I've ever experienced, including my own bed at home. The check-in and check-out process is super easy and is done from your phone, and you use a code to get into the building, up the lift, and into the room so you don't have to worry about losing a physical card. Customer service was also really helpful - an actual human picks up the phone. Loved my time there and would highly recommend The Hotel Castro!

    Decent place in the Castro Very compact room. Glad I was traveling solo as I felt two people in the room would have been too tight. There was noise from the bar underneath the hotel and on the street that facilitated the need for white noise to drown it out if trying to go to bed before 1am. Location is great to everything in the Castro.

    Stayed here for 3 days and 3 nights and loved every minute of it. It's located in the Castro so there's a bunch of restaurants and bars you can go to that are walking distance. I was also able to uber/lyft to all of the tourist attractions and everything was under 30 mins. Definitely felt safe in the area and the hotel was so cute and trendy. Loved how everything was electronic and virtual. Will definitely be coming back!
