We stayed here for three nights. I was on a business trip but brought my mom along for her birthday celebration. We paid $150/night for two double beds, which was less than half the cost of other downtown hotels. The good: - clean, clean, clean! - breakfast was fine for us with pastries, cereal, and bagels. - the staff was... More

Visited this hotel for the second time in January 2012. Since my first visit in summer 2009 nothing really changed. Little Italy and Chinatown are still so close, the hotel is still perfectly clean, the staff still very friendly and my rate included breakfast which it did not the previous time. The only thing to slightly complain about is the... More

Standard room 150$ incl. breakfast Chinese-run hotel with small but clean and nicely furnished rooms. Very good bed. Very helpful and polite service at the desk. The huge breakfast includes bread, muffins, fruit, eggs, muesli, coffee and tea, but why a hotel of this class should use paper dishes and plastic forks eludes me totally. More

Stayed here one night a month ago, after a weeklong conference. To go from a Marriott to this was a bit of a downer, but at the same time I didn't want to spend a ton on a room just for one Friday night in SF. This place was perfect for that. The location is smack in the middle of... More

The SW Hotel is by far the best-located, best value-for-money, and cleanest hotel that I have encountered so far in San Francisco. I highly recommend it. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and efficient. There are plenty of restaurants very nearby, and not just Asian ones (the SW Hotel is located in Chinatown). I just ate an excellent French breakfast... More

Not a bad pricer for SF, the exterior rooms with windows facing outward to the street are somewhat more spacious, ours overlooked Grant St. Room was clean, bed was fine and it felt secure. Friendly staff was a plus too. The breakfast is nothing to get excited about, though we were grateful that we could quickly grab a coffee, pastry... More

My partner and I stayed here for a weekend from 4th to 7th Nov 2011. We found it clean and comfortable and in a very lively area (especially in the evening). Easy walking distance from everywhere. The rooms were basic but very good. Ours faced a brick wall but was not a problem for us as this meant it was... More

If you're looking for a clean comfortable room without the fuss, try SW. I stayed there for 4 nights to attend a conference in the financial district. The staff was unobtrusive but helpful, and the lobby was well lit and quiet. The room was small but had everything needed for the single traveler- comfortable bed, enough room to stow away... More

Picked this hotel as it was within budget and was in the center of town. First view of the room was a little disappointing as there was absolutely no view whatsoever and then realised that we had asked for a quiet room so it wouldnt be street side and noisey and we could sleep in :) It was quiet, and...
