The Powell Hotel in San Francisco

Uitstekend klein hotel op een perfecte plaats. Alles op loopafstand. Leuk is dat het omdraaipunt van de historische tram pal voor de deur ligt. Wel wat lawaaig buiten. Zorg dat je een kamer aan de binnenkant hebt. Zou er zo weer logeren. Jammer van de zwervers in de binnenstad, alhowel niet geweldadig.

Het hotel heeft zeer kleine muffe kamers. Wij zater er vier nachten en echt in een kleine kamer. De twee tassen konden nauwelijks een plekje krijgen. Verder is de locatie van het hotel geweldig. Waardoor de irritatie van de kamer wat afnam. Ik zou een ander hotel uitkiezen maar wel daar in de buurt.

The Powell Hotel was een zeer goed en toch goedkoop hotel. De kamers waren netjes en alles was in orde. Waanzinnig dat het zo goedkoop was, want ik heb doorheen de reis in de USA, meerdere keren VEEEL meer moeten betalen voor kamers die veel minder in orde waren dan die in the Powell Hotel. Een absolute aanrader. Als ik terug naar San francisco ga, […] verblijf ik hier zeker weer. Iets minder was de minder veilige buurt. Doch, hier heb ik ook niet echt problemen mee gehad. Lees meer

I needed a room on short notice and found this room on Hotels.com. The front desk staff was very nice and ended up giving me a 2 room suitevin the top floor. All amenities were great and the room was extrememly clean. It is right outside the Cable car turn around and Union Square. I would stay here again.

Very small room, but if you only want a place to sleep and will not be spending much time in your room, it will work for you. A lot of things to see within walking distance.

very good location. hotel itself is a little run down, but otherwise OK. Nothing more or less than what can be expected for the price

the radiator in our room clanged incessantly for an hour in the middle of the night. so loudly the people above us were stomping on the floor. i called the front desk, and they said there was no one here to fix it but it should stop soon. it did after an hour. 2 nights later, the same thing happened at 4am. i told them to get someone to fix it before […] i threw it out the window. they did, but only by turning it off. the temperature in our room dropped about 6-7 degrees, but it was worth being able to sleep. i will not be going back to this hotel.

Two words.... Bed bugs!

Very convenient location, bit noisy,checking in very slow only 1 person on and nearly 1hour for them to get your car. Rooms are clean but beds are not so comfortable and long wait for hot water.

The Powell is in a fantastic location, central to public transit and the downtown area. The staff were nice, but we didn't need them much. Drawbacks: The radiator hissed all night (I know that this is a given with these old oil radiators, I've had them in apartments...but having it right next to the bed made it hard to sleep). The toilet was finicky […] - you had to jiggle the handle to get it to stop running. The bed had a nice pillowtop but underneath was rock hard, so after two nights we had backaches. All in all, you get what you pay for and this was a bargain for being so centrally located. As someone who doesn't mind staying in hostels, the issues we had weren't overwhelming and I would happily book there again. Lees meer

The location is good, if you don't take into account that the neighborhood is a little bit noisy: the room window came out to the corner of the Market and Powell streets, almost right over the cable car stop. Otherwise, the location is very convenient: the hotel is in the very center of the city, the BART station is right at the hotel, and the convention […] center is just three blocks from the hotel. Besides, the price was also reasonable. I think breakfasts at the hotel could be better, if they included sandwiches. Lees meer

I found the Powell to be in a central location. Perfect for a tourist; however, the building seems to have no insulation/noise protection. It is located in a very busy section of Union Square, and we could hear absolutely everything outside (from fire alarms to people talking). So if you are a light sleeper, I do not recommend this hotel. Staff was […] very friendly and helpful though! Lees meer

Convenient location- Market and Powell; walking distance to Westfield and other shops, BART, ATM, restaurants, and Trolley. Hotel is older and rooms are small, but they have free wine/beer and appetizers from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Mezzanine, as well as a free light continental breakfast in mornings for guests. That and the location made it an excellent […] deal for the price. I would stay here again. Lees meer

A bit old, but the location is great

The Powell Hotel has a perfect location, we walked from there to almost all the places of interest we where expecting in our trip; The SFMOMA, The Asian Museum; theaters, good restaurants and all the stores you can need. However it surprise me a lot of people asking for help (money) in the surroundings. Also is very convinience because you can get into […] the trollei or the "urban trains" just outside the hotel. and get to the embarcadero- fishermans wharf area. very good trip! Lees meer

Dont expect any jazz from this hotel other than its located conveniently near the mall and the public transportation. Happy hour was pretty awesome but other than that it was just a place to wash up and sleep.

I read all of the reviews before booking so I knew it was going to be loud. It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting. If you are a light sleeper, then definitely bring ear plugs otherwise you will hate staying here. Can't beat the location. It's a 2 minute walk from the hotel to any public transit which will get you anywhere you need to go. I would […] stay here again. Lees meer

I stayed at the Powell Hotel for the Christmas Holidays. And I must say it is a wonderful hotel. The stay in San Francisco was made more memorable by the hotel. I am fully satisfied with the services, the location, the cleanliness and comfort of the hotel. I would recommend this hotel to anybody. Thank you Hotel Powell for making our stay at San Francisco […] wonderful. Lees meer

upon checkin the front desk was not friendly while trying to manage valet and check in. there were too many cars/people checking in, no valet attendant and on a busy street. i was reluctant to leave my car unattended in union square area because parking enforcement is on their job at all times. the first room was unimpressive with low rent upgrades, […] but the kicker was the crusty food stain on the comforter which made me question the cleanliness of the entire room. we asked to move to another room, that took forever, and then the second night in that room we found a visitor in the bathroom, ben. ben is the name i gave to this roach because he was about 2 inches long and therefore deserved to be addressed respectfully.

RIght above the cable car stop on Market (which means it was noisy with the window open) this old hotel is still stylish and certainly convenient. The bed was comfortable. The room and bathroom small (like an old city hotel) but clean. In my room there was a problem with the radiator which meant it was very hot in the room and with the window open to […] let in cool air it was very noisy even into the late night. The "continental breakfast" that I was cheerfully offered was just sweet buns - not really breakfast food. In-room coffee would have been better. Lees meer

walking distance from bart powell st station. located at unioin square. huge room. can't beat it

in spite of some bad reviews we thought the hotel was great the rooms were clean the location was great the staff was very friendly. it was a super stay.. nothing to complain about..

This hotel was the best for our New Year's vacation. It was perfectly located next to all public transport including the cable cars. The breakfast and evening treats were a nice addition as well! Loved it!

It is ok nothing special no complian

If you're looking for a City hotel that is RIGHT AT SF Center, the Powell Street turntable, and all of Market Street, this is the place. Old school "salesmen's hotel" with small rooms, but you're not going to SF to hang in your hotel, are ya'? Thin walls, small rooms, perfect location. Your call, but I'd stay there again.

This is a good hotel, clean and in a very good location. Great hotel if you are in a budget.

A bit noisy, but it's because you're in the heart of downtown. Great for the price.

The best part about our stay at this hotel was the location. Right on the corner at the Cable Car turnaround on Powell. It doesn't get better for ease of use of the transit system for San Francisco. The hotel itself, though boasting a recent update was anything but. The room was anything but updated, the bed uncomfortable and cover in a plastic mattress […] pad, the radiator heat, though charming, was difficult to gauge and we were either very very hot of too cold. The view from our 4th floor room was a walled building and the bathroom ceiling full of mold. I had a huge problem with allergies while staying there. No I would not recommend this hotel to a friend unless they were looking for a perfect location and a shabby hotel. Lees meer

One of the most conveniently located hotels I have ever stayed at. Comfortable - almost luxurious. Staff friendly. Happy hour thrown in. Hotels.com rates excellent. What more you want?

Very great location and very good price.

Nostalgic and modern. Clean and comfortable. Parking is valet with unlmtd in/out but 33$... Same Pricing As other hotels in the area.

Very conveniently located near transportation(BART/MUNI and Cable Car terminal) Typical big city noise. Hotel is old and it shows. Heating by steam radiator did not seem to even work until after the sun went down. Only one ice machine, on the third floor and down two long hallways, serves the whole six-story hotel. Bathrooms are modernized very cheaply. […] "Re-Bath" type bath/shower update. Room walls not at all soundproofed. You will hear every conversation in the hallways. Lees meer

It is just next to the Powell BART station and is very convenience to go anywhere in SF. The hotel is very nice, provides with breakfast and snack at noon. The best is if the room has refridge.

I would not reccomend this hotel to anyone. The staff are not friendly or helpful!!!! It is not in good location with people sleeping out on the street in front of the hotel and begging people for hand outs. It is not very family friendly. I would definitely stay some where else.

The Powell is in a terrific location in downtown San Francisco convenient to shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing. My only negative is that parking is inconvenient so because of the proximity of public transportation I wouldn't bring a car with me next time.

Pretty Good

The hotel was right on the cable car line - close to everything. The staff was very helpful - I asked lots of questions.
