Hotel Astoria San Francis San Francisco - 旧金山

The Hotel is centrally located at the entrance of china town (great location), walk to union square in 5 minutes.

Excellent location, just a few minute walk from Downtown/union square and the place the hotel was situated is perfect.

It's in such a convenient location where you can walk 5 minutes to Union Square and all good spots arround.

At the corner of Bush and Grant (easy to find after coming from the airport by BART (wich is the cheapiest way to get out of the airport and reach the center of the city, in case, Powel Station).

The location is also withing walking distance to the train station where I could hop right on to the airport.

My room, which had an attached bath (I understand that some rooms do not have an ensuite, another similarity to small London hotels), was rather spartan (there is a television but no clock radio) but very clean.

2 blocks from union square and next to Chinatown for $55/night with a queen bed, a decent continental breakfast and a clean room.

We were not after amenities - only a clean room with a private bath and two beds (twin beds).

The beds were very very noisy, everytime you turned over the whole bed squeeked, we ended up just laughing so much it became amusing.

We booked on their website, which got us the cheapest rate I could find on a double room (2 beds) with a private bathroom ($65/nt).

Two years back I picked the Cornell Hotel De France, which for $79 plus tax per night even had a warm breakfast in its downstairs restaurant included.

The breakfast had milk, orange juice, coffee, bread, muffins, bagels, cream cheese, jelly, butter, toaster, microwave oven, and you can eat as much as you want.

It also has to be in a central and therefore convenient location for me as a foot passenger; in walking distance to shops, theatres and restaurants as well as public transportation.

Its at the Chinatown gates and walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and tourist attractions.

The breakfast was included in the exceptionally resonable room rates and was more than enough to keep you going until lunch.

The service from the front desk was excellent - arranging for a shuttle to the airport, advising us where to find an internet cafe and the post office etc with no bother at all.

The room was clean, there was very little noise and the front desk staff was friendly.

The front desk staff was helpful and there 24/7.

I like, in particular, its website ------------- and the on-line reservation service.

Elevator is terrible, slow, only 3 people at the time and housekeeping is using it as well.

Good point about the elevator though, the 'max 3 people' sign was a little sketchy, so we took the stairs (all 7 flights of them) everyday.

After I read the reviews before booking the hotel, I had to smile when we arrived and saw a big sign that the elevator wasn't working.

The beds are hard but the sheets are clean.

Moreover for the money was great and the room was clean.

We found the staff to be friendly and helpful and the rooms clean.

Our room wasn't clean and the cleaning person told me it couldn't be cleaned until the next day so I should get a different room.

Overall, if you want an inexpensive base point for your stay and aren't expecting anything beyond a clean, comfortable room, this is the place for you.
