Such a cool, weird, cozy hotel. We never saw any staff members, but someone picked up the phone immediately when I had a question about parking. The facility was quiet, and the beds were very comfortable. I would definitely stay again.

The staff member is extremely rude. When I was asking for clarifications on the checkout policy, the staff member literally told me to "just get the f out" because I was asking questions. Do not live here. You will NOT have a good experience.

You booked a 3 day reservation, after the first night you called to state that you were checking out early. I said ok thank you for letting me know.Then you called back immediately after to ask about a refund. I explained that you had booked a non refundable reservation through expedia and to cancel you would need to contact them.Then after 2 phone calls from expedia you called again to ask about the check out process....5 phone calls in 10 minutes is very frustrating because you did not want to stay here anyway.I had to hang up with another guest just to answer phone calls from you and/or expedia about your reservation. So you did not have a good experience well me neither.Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.Best Regards, Wesley BManager

Location is so central, it's awesome. Everything is right outside the door. The place is super clean - the staff is on top of it. The only thing i suggest is that the rooms need furniture - a chest of drawers makes a weeklong stay so much easier. I'm OCD, and my stuff was all over the place - made me anxious! haha

The property was kept clean and well stocked. The shared showers and bathrooms were cleaned very regularly. The beds were comfortable and had lots of pillows. The key system to the building and room was electronic with smart locks, so very convenient. The room was rather warm at night but a borrowed fan helped. There were a couple times where the other guests left behind a bit of a mess in between housekeeping visits or were inconsiderate but that is nothing against the property or staff. What I didn't like was the street the property was on and the immediate area. There were quite a few homeless individuals in front of the front door and nearby periodically. The sidewalk out front is basically a flea market on the weekends for a block and a half in either direction, where you literally have to step over and around people and their stuff spread out all over the ground. It smelled and was dirty, with trash all over the street and sidewalk, and we felt uncomfortable walking to and from the property.

The room has no air con so it was boiling all the time. The windows open but no air flow. The area is sketchy sketchy sketchy!!! No single female should stay in this area. As for the place. Staff were friendly. Constantly cleaning. I would not stay here again purely based off the area surrounding it. Just unfortunately far too many homeless, mentally ill, and drug users on the streets surrounding this hotel.

Nice hotel in an area with character
I was worried about staying here after reading some review de área being unsafe and dangerous. The week I stayed in January 2023 was unusually extra extra expensive in San Francisco due to a big conference taking over hotel reservations all over the city si this was my only choice.. the experience was very good. The area is not unsafe, some people selling second hand stuff in the street but not threatening in any way. It’s very close to the subway and there are amazing shops, restaurants and the Roxie film theatre just 2 blocks away. The rooms are small and you have to share a bathroom but in the whole week I stayed there I never once had to wait. The bathroom is spotless and there are plenty of towels and shower gel at all times. It’s almost instantly cleaned after every use. I was very pleasantly surprised. Free coffee in the morning. I’d strongly recommend that you download the key app in advance. It was a seamless experience for me, but I had to send a WhatsApp message on the day to get my contactless key activated. Also make sure you take your phone to the bathroom as otherwise you won’t be able to get back into your room. Make sure you have plenty of battery before returning at night because you need the phone to access hotel

Nice hotel, very cold.
The staff was nice, there was one thing that really made the stay uncomfortable - there was NO HEAT. I got back to the hotel around midnight to sleep and I couldn't see any control for the heat, there was no staff, and I had to wear my clothes in bed so I could stop shivering. I looked everywhere for a control of the heat, but there was none. The hallway was also very cold. The other thing is they have 100s of shampoo and conditioner but no body wash or soap.

Hello Philip,I am sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. If you had called the number provided for any issues then we could have told you that on each floor, in the lounge areas, there are always extra heaters & fans for any guest that might want or need one. As for the no body wash…,it is on back order due to transportation issues still.Best Regards,Wesley

First of all, our digital key did not unlock our door. Housekeeping had to open it and the key they used ended up getting stuck in the door. They then called maintenance and it took about 45-60 minutes for them to fix this door issue. My friend and I sat on the bed as they did this and received no accommodations. There also seemed to be no AC in the rooms. A housekeeper knocked on the door in the morning before check out and we stated we were still in the room loud enough for her to hear, yet she proceeded to still unlock the door and try to come in. The cherry on top is there was no one at the front desk, and when we called to ask about AC, the manager or whoever answered the phone said no one was in the building to help us. Overall this hotel is in a shady part of town and has horrible service.

NO EMPLOYEES, COULD NOT CHECK IN
We asked for an early check in, which was noted and okay’d with by the hotel. They told us 10 AM was fine, and when we arrived at 10:30 AM, no one was working to let us in. We tried to check in later in the evening and again, no one was there to check us in. We did not even get into the room and had to stay elsewhere. Would like a refund please…

Hello Mathew, It was gay pride weekend…..we were 100% full & since you only booked this reservation the day before & checkout is not til 11am…..I don’t see who would have or could have said Ok to your early checkin request? I certainly cannot kick someone out of room for you to checkin. When you booked the reservation on 6/25/22 Here is the msg you received… ‘ 1906 Mission offers limited front desk hours. Your access to the building and your room will be granted through a smart lock technology. Your digital keys will be sent to you via text as soon as your room is ready and you are able to check-in.’ As for no staff if you had rung the doorbell…..one of the housekeepers would have been able to open the door & take your bags at least. Or made a call to see why you didn’t have your digital key yet… Best Regards, Wesley Brittain Manager

Inside is cute and clean and comfortable. Would consider staying here again. It is a bit sketchy outside with the number of people hanging outside of the property selling stuff and being loud during late evening hours. Once inside though, I was quite comfortable and the hotel supplies ear plugs. The price is very good.

I want to start with some things that may trouble some people but are not an issue because (a) I have traveled a lot outside the United States in places where is is fairly common not to have en suite bathrooms and, (b) I have always lived in large, densely populated cities where, unfortunately, there are a lot of people living or soending a good part of the day ganging out on the streets. The Mission, particularly Mission Street on weekends is crowded with people selling miscellaneous stuff on the sidewalk, including in fron of this horel on weekends. If these things bother you this nay not be the place for you. Having said that, the hotel is jept spotlessly clean, quiet and nice smart contemporary decir. The staff were great and very responsive. The bed was very comfortable and the shared bathrooms and shower rooms were well appointed and always gleaming. There is a nice little patio area in the back. A BART station is less tha a block so smAFO is onky a half hour away. And there are some very good restaurants within a few blocks on Valencia street. The rooms are not huge, but when I am in San Francisco i am not there to spend any time in my hotel other than to sleep in a comfortable bed in a very clean room. I'd rather spend the money that I'd spend in an expensive hotel on some of the great restaurants and clubs in San Francisco. If you want clean, a great location for transportation all over the Bay Area, friendly staff check it out.

Mixed feelings. But OK for an adventuresome type.
The management was courteous and considerate; the lodging itself was a mixed experience. Pleasant surprise is a complimentary light continental breakfast each morning. The actual hotel building seems not to match the photo that the hotel's advertisement displays. Restrooms are separate from the room - 2 small lockable stalls per floor level: inconvenient for a guest who needs frequent usage, as one must get fully dressed before each use. Lockable shower stalls are also remote, adjacent to - but not integral with - the remote restrooms. But they are pleasant, attractively-designed, spacious and well-appointed. Still, all of that separation can be off putting. Hotel room itself is pleasant, although noise from the adjoining street is substantial, which explains the presence of ear plugs on the table. The hotel is located on Mission Street, a busy, congested and perhaps "grungy" thoroughfare with heavy bus/vehicular traffic.The sidewalk adjacent to the hotel was used for an urban flea market during the mornings. Fortunately, the guest rooms are in upper floors.away from pedestrian traffic. The hotel uses app-based keyless entry for both external-door access and internal access to one's own hotel room. That keyless entry works well for guests who normally use multiple apps on their mobile phones, but may not be practical for guests whose mobile phone skills are less advanced.

Thank you for leaving your review. The picture of the front of the building is different than you saw because the building next door has been demolished. The hotel is a building built in 1906, has been a hotel since 1906 & the Victorian style meant most of the plumbing is in the rear of the building. As for the separate bathrooms & showers being off putting… then why reserve a hotel with shared bathrooms? It’s Confusing to me why certain guests seem to be off put by that fact when they chose a 115 year old hotel with separated facilities in the first place. It’s like shooting yourself in the foot & then complaining that your shoe is full of blood.

Fabulous place to stay in the Mission if you're not planning on spending much time in your room - and really why would you? ONE block from the BART station, Valencia and all of it's awesomeness right around the corner, definitely make up for kinda sketchy Mission out front. Didn't feel unsafe by any means at all - just typical American city left to its own devices. 1906 Mission is perfect for a coupla days around town.

Quite an experience!
Clean, comfy and cute... and very old! This little place was built back in 1906! Right after the SF earthquake! It's been completely updated of course. Parking is a little tricky but there is a public lot a block or so away, near the Arco gas station. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for something quaint and off the beaten path!
