I booked a room with a bunk bed and when I arrived the lady at the front desk said it was wasn’t available. I was with a friend so we needed two beds or at least a bigger bed. She gave us a room with a single bed half the size of a twin bed. She told us we could get a refund so we went upstairs to gather our belongings and when we came down she said “we can’t give you a refund at this time.” So the lady took down my number and told me I would receive a call about my refund soon and I never received the call. She was pretty rude and didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience. Horrible experience.

It's a hostel, not really a hotel. Very noisy, you can hear everything that happens in the other rooms, and on the street. It is what you pay for. Earplugs are a must. Other things were ok, and there was free coffee in the lobby.

I had a great time staying at The Urban Hotel whenever I'm visiting San Francisco. The front desk asian lady accommodated me for an early check-in since I need to get some rest from my trip. Thanks and wonderful service.

The whole place smells musty and gross, the showers are nasty (I'm pretty sure there was mold), the rooms are tiny, beds are loud and not super comfortable, and our room didnt have a mini fridge and there isnt a communal one. If you are desperate for a cheap place to stay and don't plan on staying in the hotel much, its not the worse place to stay, I guess lol... the only good thing is the location. Its a very good central area, but honestly I'm not sure its worth the price evn if its one of the cheapest places in San Fran.

Last resort

A glorified hostel. I would have preferred a hostel. The actual location is not super sketchy, but a bit hard to see from the street and not in a very exciting area. The inside is lackluster and older, with stained carpet and an overwhelming smell of air freshener and scented cleaning products. The room itself was decent enough though not attractive by any stretch of the imagination. The deadbolt did not work. I had a room right above Bush which was incredibly loud due to car noise, also people would stand outside the market next door until late and talk loudly. The bathrooms were ok. The showers on my floor had 2 rooms which had dysfunctional doors that would not close. I went to another floor to find a functioning shower door. Big safety issue. If you have literally no other option, this room would do in a pinch. I wish I had gone with a hostel. I would have been happy to share this info at checkout but was barely spoken to, much less asked about my experience. I’m sure they know—the issues i encountered do not seem to be one-offs and I’m very confused by the positive reviews.
