We stayed at the Powell for a weekend getaway and were very pleased. My Wife enjoyed all the shopping in the area and I enjoyed being near all the touristy things to do in San Fran. We both enjoyed the free drinks they server in the evening. They are just the thing to get an evening out started. While the... more

I stayed at the hotel in October - not at a small expense -$180 dollars/night. The room had an aweful musty odour, furniture and soft furnishings looked tired and the carpet was in a terrible state. After the first night , I woke up with a very itchy rash. This deteriorated as the days went by and by the time... more

Arrived at midday and was able to get a room straight away which was a nice surprise as the hotel was busy. Right at the cable car turnaround and F line to Fishermans Wharf, although I walked everywhere, the hills were a challenge but that is part of the experience. Clean, comfortable rooms and a brilliant location, this property is... more

A clean, tidy hotel with a great location and friendly, helpful staff. For the price, its good value but don't expect great views or a great shower. We were allocated a room which faced the inside court, but right by an air con unit which was extremely loud. We were given the option to move to another inside room, again... more

The location was great- it was my first trip to San Francisco. The room was quaint, but old and small. There was no ceiling fan in the room as advertised. The windows do open. In the afternoon the room was rather warm. Housekeeping staff were friendly Two times I asked for a wake-up call: the first I received, the second... more

Stayed for three nights in the Powell and found it to be in a good location, a little tired and in need of an upgrade. No air con in the room or bar fridge. Hotels floors are floor boards so can be noisy. Staff were friendly whilst staying there however once I had left I came down with terrible bed... more

Well connected and proximity to BART and muni but expensive for the kind of rooms offered. Not many facilities in the room and service is also not that good. more

The Powell Hotel is across the street from the Powell Street Bart station, trolley and central to the downtown area. The management was very friendly at check in. Happy hour with wine, cheese and fruit is provided nightly. Many of the tour buses stop at the hotel. The room was clean and the beds very comfortable. I would definitely stay... more
