My friend setup a long stay here- I visited once but would not go back. Location is not good and as an older woman, I did not feel safe when leaving at night. The staff is polite and the room is basically fine, but I'm not sure it is the best choice in a lovely city full of such vast... More

Stay someplace else. Great staff and good breakfast! Rooms are poor, shared bathrooms, staff does not clean the rooms between nights. If you want a new towel, you have to trade in your dirty towel for a new one. Be Careful: this hotel is not safe part of town.

As far as the hotel goes, its fine. Its cheap, and does the job. My room was pretty comfortable, no real complaints there. Sharing a bathroom is expected in these places, and everything looked pretty well maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and I can have no real complaints about anything about the hotel. It was cheap accommodation, so... More

When you book a hostel (this is not a hotel) you expect certain things: shared bathrooms, very basic room, and a colorful mixture of guests and travelers. However the moment we pulled up to this place we knew we had mad a grave mistake. When you have to be buzzed into a steal bared security door after you walk in... More

Excellent and service minded staff. The room was clean, the breakfast was overall very good and the staff friendly and helpful. The area around is not so good but the Pontiac Hotel is definitely a hidden gem that I'd be happy to recommend to my friends visiting San Francisco.Thank you!

Clean, not to noisy and very friendly staff. I stayed there for 4 nights and i enjoyed it very well. They have a complimentary breakfast every morning and the food varies sometimes. I met people from various places as well. The room it self was alright. It is a hostel type accomadation, so you share bathroom and shower with the... More

Certainly a pretty decent value for a stay in San Francisco, the area around the hotel was fairly suspicious (a guy asked if I wanted to buy crystal meth, to which I politely declined). With shared facilities and Wi-Fi in the lobby only, there were a few things that could have been better. The bathrooms and other facilities were otherwise... More

Me and my friend stayed at this hotel for the ten days we were in San Francisco and it was the best ten days we have had in California. The hotel is located in 6th and Minna street, where a lot of homeless people hangs out but we never felt uncomfortable when we were walking in this area. From the... More
