Hotel Spiro is a great base to explore San Francisco. Links to transportation is so convenient making it very easy to get around the city, the iconic SF cable cars are only a few blocks away. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Free coffee available in the lobby every morning. We had breakfast at “Jasper’s” a restaurant/bar attached to the hotel, the food was just okay, but similar in price to other breakfasts available locally, we would suggest giving Jasper’s a miss and finding somewhere else locally. We will certainly use Hotel Spiro on our next visit!

There has been a Union protest going on in front of the property. I normally don’t write a negative review, but this was a bit much. I couldn’t relax in my room at all. The union was banging drums and yelling into a microphone from 5am - 10 pm every single night. That should be the first thing the hotel tells you for check in.

Economical option near Union Square in SF
Nothing fancy and an older property, but very comfortable and well-maintained. Adjoining restaurant is great for routine breakfasts and lunches. Clean, with pleasant staff at front desk. My choice for comfortable option in central SF.

Beautiful building but bordering rough area
The hotel is a beautiful old building near many shops and restaurants but unfortunately borders an area where many people experiencing homelessness frequent. While we never felt unsafe, there was trash and human excrement on the sidewalks the entire stay. The rooms were beautifully decorated but older with some signs of wear and tear. Overall I would still consider it a good value for the price we paid but in the future would not stay in this part of town again.

I am taking time to comment because Hotel Spero is a hidden gem. We stayed despite earlier reviews that it was noisy outside and there are lots of homeless. The noise is being caused by a hotel union strike. Once in our room, it was pretty quiet as they were apparently confined to certain hours to protest. The homeless are basically on the edge of this property’s location, mostly in the Tenderloin. That area has always been an area of great homelessness. An ongoing issue for CA and the rest of the country. The Spero is beautiful and well-maintained. They have lovely staff, bending over backwards to give great customer service. The rooms are small, comfortable, well-appointed and modern. Their restaurant, Jaspers, is run by a GM who is focused on the customer, as well. Parking is in a garage next to the lobby so doesn’t get much more convenient than that. We will stay at the Spero again.

Convenient with cute rooms
The hotel is generally fine and centrally located with an independent feel. The lobby and halls looked a bit older than expected with a not great looking, but not busy pub vs restaurant downstairs. It is also at the edge of the Tenderloin so you will get the usual characters and dirtiness on the street. That said, I walked to Moscone Center/Yerba Buena Center daily (12 min) for a conference and heading toward Union Sq vs straight down to Market is a nicer route. Staff was nice and friendly. The lobby was generally nice with work stations, free coffee and tea in the am and a water machine for drinking water. The room was cute, we got a free upgrade to a King room (not huge but reasonable size), and it seemed renovated and clean. Seems to attract a lot of tourists from around the world who were friendly. There were protests at the Hilton across the street, when we stayed, so it was slightly noisy, but there were no protests at our hotel and the windows mostly blocked the noise! It seemed to be a citywide protest at the big hotel chains only.
