Great hotel location and staff. Nice and quiet frendly team A few little things not so great like plastic cups in rooms and papper and plastice bowls etc for breakfast. Would be nice ot be able to make hot drinks in your room but this seams to be a USA thing as not to have this in room. Still only... More

This is not your usual hotel decor....I really loved the room! So calm and refreshing. The staff at SW Hotel were always helpful and ready to make our stay great. You can't beat it .....walk out the front door and you can turn right into China Town, or left into Little Italy. What fun! Private basement parking takes the worry... More

We arrived one morning after a rickety ride over the Pacific, absolutely shattered, wondering if we could get into our room early. No problem. Helpful staff. After a good sleep we explored. This is a great position, just by the City Limits bookshop, and in walking distance of many sights. Would definitely stay again.

Clean, comfortable, attentive service and the best location in SF. Literally in the center of everything. From the hotel you can walk left and be in the heart of Little Italy, walk right and be in China Town or down Broadway and be at the piers. Also, right above City Lights book store. Parking is a pain during the week... More

The SW is a great base camp for your exploration of San Francisco. It's located at the intersection of Columbus and Broadway, which is at the border of Chinatown to the south and North Beach (great Italian restaurants) to the north. City Lights bookstore and a Beat Museum are nearby, as well as some pretty tacky strip clubs, so this... More

Thanks to other reviews, we knew what to expect and were not disappointed by the SW. The decor was tasteful, the room was clean (a little on the small side but I expect that in the city) and the staff was pleasant. I was really impressed with how nice the SW is for the price in San Fran. And the... More

Rooms are on the small side but well-appointed and very clean. Our Grant Ave facing room on the top floor had a view of the Bay Bridge and the holiday lights of Embarcadero Center high rises. The lobby may look small but there's a much larger sitting room and breakfast area in the back for guests. Continental breakfast included in... More

We spent two nights here after flying in from Ireland. Hotel was easy to find, and in a great location (between most of the areas you might like to go). Tired and a bit cranky on arrival, and we quickly checked in with no problems. The room wasn't huge, but ample for our needs. Bed was very comfortable, and room... More
