My father and I stayed at the hotel for several days while visiting San Francisco. This hotel was a time capsule. We met the owner several times and he has done his best to keep the hotel in its original condition when it opened in 1912. The hotel was clean, staff was friendly, and well managed. Outside the hotel was a bus stop and subway station. If you are looking for a simple quaint hotel this fits the bill. Thanks

Decent stay. Close to convention center and other hotels. Great price and walkable to almost everywhere. The neighborhood outside is a little rough and very active all night. I didn’t mind the noise, but some might.

Area is little off the downtown towards more homeless. The place is an old and rundown place. Ensure you ask for a room with bathroom, few rooms are with shared bathrooms. Step outside of the hotel, ensure you are not flasy, lots of homeless people living around the area.

Old hotel built in 1912. Clean and well preserved. Lots of vintage furnisings in public areas. Street noise is really loud. Contrary to hotel info no breakfast is offered. Internet did not work at all.

The Aida Plaza is an Old-Style Traditional Hotel in the heart of Downtown San Francisco. That Area of Market has become increasingly scuzzy over recent years, and I know that many people are put off by the numbers of homeless people near to the entrance (although none came near to the actual hotel entrance during my week there). Once you put that out of your mind, the Aida is a good basic option for the city - and very good for the price that I paid! The room was large, very clean, and the bathroom, lights, tv etc all worked perfectly. The room that I was in (505) was quiet and I got good night's sleep. The internet was easy to connect to and fast. The staff were friendly, and quickly got to know my room number (you hand your key to them when exiting the hotel). They must have a hard job as they have to open the front door for each guest entering (the front door is kept locked). I had no difficulty gaining entry to the Hotel no matter what time I arrived back after a day/night out. Bad points - no tea/coffee facilities in the rooms, which would be a plus, or room service, but I wasn't expecting this. I also liked the "faded glory" and overall feel of the communal areas. The lift/elevator also worked throughout my stay. Overall, i was pleasantly surprised.

I received face towels with holes in them; The bathrooms are small and cramped. Granted, the overall hotel appears very clean, but it does have an odd smell to it. Wifi is barely functional. I understand the policy behind not being allowed to leave with the room keys, but it's incredibly inconvenient, especially given the front desk is about 10 feet from the front door where they have to let you in; god forbid you to get attacked by a crackhead while waiting to be let in. Hotel room definitely did the trick for the night, but I wouldn't recommend staying longer than one night. Bathrooms are incredibly minimalist put nicely; There aren't even places to hang your towels. I may or may not have a concern about the bedding as I woke up with my legs covered in bug bites though I'm unsure if that was from the bedding or something else, but I don't remember having as many bites before going to bed. Again, overall does the trick if you're only looking for a place to stay for one night, placement of the hotel is nice as it was about 5 minutes to Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and is across the street from muni and BART. There are a lot of homeless people openly doing drugs on the street, but it's not a big deal if you don't bother them and just be aware of your surroundings. I don't think I'd return to this hotel again unless I was very cash-strapped and booking last minute.

Not a good hotel. It has an old rustic feel to it which is appealing. It’s also cheap. Right on market, so convenient location. Problem is it lacks a lot that even cheaper hotels have. It feels like they banked everything on location, and skipped a lot of hotel common sense. The heat there is poor. They’re radiators, and one of ours didn’t work. It is also only on from 6pm - 6am. Very freezing in the Winter. There is no place to put your towel in the bathroom. So you exit wet into a cold room. Think sinks are on the outside of the bathroom. The entire room is carpeted, so that seems like a very bad idea too. The elevator also doesn’t seem safe at all. It shakes when it hits the ground floor before the door opens. The worst is, the front door is locked 24/7. So you can’t enter the building until the host comes and opens it for you. There is only one room key too. You have to turn it in each time you leave the building. So if you’re traveling with friends or spouse it can make things very tricky. 4/10 Good for a night, but not for a vacation

This hotel is ideal for solo travelers. The rooms are clean and spacious. However, it is a bit unfortunate that you can hear noise from neighboring rooms. Additionally, it's slightly inconvenient that you need assistance from hotel staff to open the entrance door, as the door is locked for security reasons.

The hotel is unfortunately in the worst area I’ve ever seen with my own eyes, I didn’t know it was this bad. The homeless are openly taking substances and using the middle of the street for the bathroom. It’s a very scary experience, you can hear them from the hotel window all night long. The building itself is interesting and needs some serious renovation, there is some cool aspects to the hotel with some old school furniture and memorabilia. It does unfortunately have a bad smell throughout the building too. The tv in the room shows a very poor image like it was on a old school box tv, most channels are unwatchable due to how much static is on the screen. The bathroom is okay, but the shower head is non existent so it feels like a garden hose. Lots of great stuff to do in San Francisco just as long as you stay away from the Tenderloin. It will just stain your visit, I’ll never forget how disturbing it was staying in this area. Transport is pretty close to the hotel which is nice, but unfortunately you get crowds of homeless of up to 30 hanging around the bus stop outside. They can just be frozen like a zombie with barely any clothes. The staff at this hotel were polite and always had a smile, even though the front door was locked we never had a problem getting back in. I do wish they mentioned about the coffee we could use, as we noticed that on checkout. This is great for budget but you must be tough skinned, it’s not the owners fault or staff. It was an experience.
