The hotel is okay. Not terrible, but not great either. It’s right in front of the cable car, so it gets noisy. Also, nothing bad happened, but the area around the hotel isn’t the nicest or safest.

Loved our stay! Excellent priced hotel, in the middle of everything! So easy to get to any vuses, walk to shoping, dining or drinking. We did have to walk to another hotel to check in, but it took literally a minute to get there, as it was right across the street. Our room was ready when we arrived 4 hours early and we got checked right in, which was awesome!

I generally really liked this hotel, love the old "styling", my biggest inconvenience was that Wifi was TERRIBLE I had to work bit during my stay, so ended up working from a small bench in a very small lobby. The only other thing I'd mention about the hotel itself is that there is no staff in it, everyone is over at the stratford. The area itself feels a bit unsafe at night, but it is close to everything.

The Herbert is centrally located and perfect for those who are going to spend most of their time exploring San Francisco downtown. However, even thought the facilities are clean, they are minimal so be prepared. For example, we only had 1 chair in our room even though it was for double occupancy.

A good option for a relatively affordable stay in San Francisco, in a great location for walkable shops, bars, and restaurants, and to access the transport network. Reasonably quiet in the room considering the location. Let down a bit by poor cleaning in the bathroom, and lack of air conditioning.

+ Clean room, restroom and bath ( shared). Good facilities. Near a cable car so it's perfect to start your visit. Wallgreen the next door. - Staff forgot the baby bed even after we ask by mail and phone call, we arrived at 1 am and nobody was able to provide a baby bed. Many junkies and homeless in the neighborhood, it could be stressfull but we didn't have any problem.

Someone was really loud on the floor above. No noise dampening between floors. No air conditioning. The power plug was falling out of the wall. The toilet was functional, but didn't stop flushing unless you pulled the handle up. Pretty good value for the price.

It was easy to check-in at the other hotel, it was just a short walk away. There is a separate key to get in the building. The room was clean and spacious. We chose the deluxe room with private bathroom, mini fridge, and kettle. Everything worked including the TV, lights, and fan. I felt we could have used a microwave and a small chest of drawers as well. The desk was a nice area and we utilized all the counter space. I didn't mind that there wasn't a daily housekeeping service.. we took the trash out ourselves and were okay towel wise. There is no AC, but it was still comfortable with the ceiling fan and a window cracked open. Our floor was very quiet- I could hardly tell if any one else was staying there. Overall the area was very convenient. Tons of shops and restaurants. Easy public transportation access.
