Just recently came back from San Francisco. In the city I stayed at the Halcyon hotel. It is absolutely amazing hotel. I liked it very much. It is very close to the city center, clean and the management staff are always welcome and helpful. I strongly recommend this hotel to anybody, you will not regret it.

For me it served my purposes, but for others here are some things to consider; - I am six feet tall and the bathtub is on some sort of lions feet, making the edge at the top of my knees. If you are vertically challenged, packaged awesome or simply have trouble as a hurdler, you may keep this in mind.... More

I am looking at some of the other reviews on this site and wondering if we are all speaking of the same Halcyon Hotel in SF because the one I stayed in could not be rated other than excellent. I stayed for six weeks, long enough to get to know everyone working there and to understand the place. The staff... More

This hotel was nice. We arrived at midnight a day late due to delayed flights (I advised by email from airport), the reception was closed (as expected) but our key was not left out, so we contacted the night manager on site. who informed us our booking was cancelled because of a no show and he had no room keys,...

The biggest problem with this place is that they don't have a reception that takes care of what happens at the entrance. They have an office located in the basement, which closes at 5.30 pm. When you get back in the evening you risk finding the entrance occupied by homeless/beggars who can be quite intrusive. The rooms are on the... More

The location is excelent. We doesn't need rent a car. The bus and the cable car are enough to know the city. The room are small, but very clean and confortable. The staff are very friendly and eficcient. We like a lot.

Accommodation is expensive in SF and while the hotel is near Union Sq it's not for the feint hearted. After reading other reviews I was aware of the homeless and crazies situation but didn't appreciate the extent... They're everywhere. Tenderloin (suburb) has many churches feeding the homeless and the lines can go for 3 blocks, our tour guide described it... More

Upon arriving to our room I was quite tickled because it was very clean and a super cute studio. That is where the pleasantries end. It sounded like the people above us were wearing snow boots and they were late going to bed and up at like 5:30. I told the staff in the office I wasnt able to sleep... More
