Other than the check in process being at one of their sister hotels which was a few ft away, there’s absolutely nothing negative to talk about my experience. My stay was pleasant and would definitely look towards staying at the Herbert next time around and would recommend others to do so too.

A truly iconic hotel to stay at. The property is well maintained and clean. While there is no concierge at the lobby, check in is at a hotel a block away. Located a block from Union Square, it makes it a very centric location. My only negative was the night commotions of the locals. Lots of shouting and noise. I had to close my window. Aside from that, I enjoyed my stay at Herbert Hotel.

Certainly it is very bare bones basic, as you must expect for a budget hotel and unless you pay more you need to use the shower and toilet down the hall, something which seems to have been lost on a lot of people reviewing the Herbert. It's also required to check in at the Stratford, which is half a block up Powell Street, which some find off-putting but it didn't bother me at all. I was on the 7th floor, it was very quiet, the bed was comfortable and I slept well. The location is about as central as you can get, the BART, F-Line and cable cars. I would not only stay here again but would recommend it to anyone who doesn't expect a chocolate on the pillow when staying at a hotel...
