Wonderful family owned hotel. The TL or tenderloin neighborhood is San Francisco can always be a bit sketchy, but the city seems to have cleaned up in the last couple of years. This is an old hotel which I’m sure if the walls could talk would have quite the stories it has one of the oldest elevators in the city, which is really cool. I would definitely stay here again and it’s a great hotel when you’re on a budget.

“From the moment I stepped into The Admiral Hotel, I was enveloped in a serene, eco-chic oasis that felt like a love letter to Northern California’s natural beauty. The lobby, adorned with reclaimed redwood and a living moss wall, immediately set a tranquil tone, with the scent of clean air offering a refreshing escape from the city bustle.

The admiral stay

We spent 3 nights here in the middle of San Fran. Everything we wanted to get to was walking distance (10-15 mins will hills) or easily accessible to transit. The owner was friendly and I loved the vintage elevator and staircase, truly felt like a nice historical setting while the rooms were modern enough with nice big windows.

Very dated, shabby and noisy. Hotel is in an area that at night is full of homeless people and it’s dirty and feels unsafe. Police noise, music and yelling throughout the night. Room was clean but very dated and unkept, sheets and towels were clean but bed cover was stained, chair was old, bathtub looked bad. We only stayed one night because it was too late to change. Checked out the next morning. The rating of this hotel should not be anywhere near 6. This should be a 3 at max. Do not recommend.

Pleasant little hotel in the Tenderloin

The Admiral is a delightful old hotel in the Tenderloin. The neighborhood is pretty awful, but the hotel is pleasant, clean, safe, and affordable. The staff are friendly and helpful, and I loved the room. It is an older hotel, but freshly painted and very clean, and I loved the mid-century furnishings. Very retro! The elevator is a bit strange, but once you get used to it it is fine.

It's the tenderloin. Cockroach in the bathroom, that I smashed. Other bug in bedroom...not sure what it was. Too fast. Couldn't smash. Two girls kicking each others butts in room next door to me at 2am. No phone in my room conecting to front desk. Called phone number on website. Told me it was local problem. OMG! Finaly...someone came to break it up...2 hours later. Thank goodness. Horrible experience.

Worst customer service I've ever gotten in 41 year

Honestly, you couldn't pay me to stay in this hotel again. Manager was extremely rude and disrespectful to my wife, screaming at her over our 17 year old son showing up and staying the night. Kept our deposit without any valid reason other than our kid being in the room with us without putting him on the reservation... Although he watched him walk into the building with my wife. If I could rate in the negatives I would.

Service is good and kindness is very good. The hotel is located in a typical urban ambiance. Don't expect the firemen trucks to be quiet ! Ear plugs mandatory. The Tenderloin area is not for basic travelers. It has been like this for ever. 2 blocs away it is a completely different world. We recommend the hotel for its good price/service ratio.

My reservation wasn’t supposed to be prepaid when I booked it! Especially since the card used for the reservation did not belong to the person staying in the room. The intention was to switch the card at check in, or check out time. But since it was prepaid. It could no longer be changed. As for the staff or cleaning person, one of two medications went missing, and never reappeared, and they were required for existing medical conditions.

Admiral Hotel

This is a no frills type place so consider that when booking. Staff was very friendly. The hotel is over 100 years and you will know it but I kind of like that. This was the only place I could find within the government per diem rate. Everything else was 3-4 times more expensive. Homelessness and drug use is pervasive in the area and you will see zombies in the streets and tent encampments unfortunately at this time, however none of them bothered us or caused any concern for our safety. There is a convenient store right on the corner which is great for grabbing snacks or drinks and the bus stops right across the street.

Biggest complaint, hotel information stated no pets allowed. There were dogs in other rooms that were constantly barking. Hotel staff notified. They said there was nothing they could do about it 😡
