Great location, most of the staff seemed nice. Bed was nice but the shower was clogged and too gross to use. The spartan amenities would have been fine if I had been prepared but it was not clear from the listing. Won’t be returning or recommending.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The good: Safe location, very close to popular destinations like Chinatown and only a short walk from the Moscone Center. The rooms are cute and overall it was pretty affordable. The bad: Their key app for opening the room door didn't work, meaning that the four of us had to share one physical key, which was pretty inconvenient. No air conditioning, which would be fine for some times of year but for us it was a bit uncomfortably warm at night, not to mention loud since we had to keep the window open. Also found a few small roaches in our room if we had any food in our trashcan. The rooms are small, and 4 people felt pretty cramped. Also, the only ways upstairs are a very narrow and steep staircase or a small old fashioned elevator that is difficult to get into. This created no problems for us, being young and healthy, but if you have mobility issues this is not the hotel for you. Overall, not great but not miserable. Decent for a budget hotel, but not what I would recommend for comfort.

It was great, although self check-in required assistance. Floors are slanted, elevator is old and slow, staff is polite. It's quirky and somewhat inconvenient, like being on vacation in a charming town without too many amenities. Fantastic location.

This is an adventure place with the best location!

This is a great spot and super fun stay! I enjoyed everything but the bed, but it was a cool place to lay my head down. Wish there was a ceiling fan or some way to move air, the windows did not open. And one of the blinds did not open and were always partially open. The bar below closes at 2am, bring ear plugs or skip this amazing art hotel if you are too sensitive. I can't wait to come back and stay in another cool room.

Disliked: Staff & service
Have stayed here a few times. This was the best experience as the room was adorable/comfortable/accessible. With that said, the staff is not on site 24/7 and the accessible front door is often locked so you need to use a side door which has two small steps up. I was able to manage that. The bar is crazy popular some nights and fun. You're across from the Chinatown gate and steps from some great restaurants/Financial District. Short walk to shopping/Union Square. Tiny European/style elevator barely fits two. Art work throughout is fun fun fun.

The stay was great, the staff was excellent, however upon checking in we discovered a huge cockroach in our room! My wife is HIGHLY allergic to cockroachs so it definitely put a damper on our first night. Luckily the staff handled the issue in an acceptable time frame and we ended up having an ok time.

Interesting art, horrible bed

My room decor was interesting, a bit quaint, and I enjoyed the wall painting. Everything was clean, temperature was fine, and it was pretty quiet. Check-in (via the app) after hours went smoothly. And when the elevator acted up, someone responded to my text very quickly. However, on the most important measure for a hotel room - the bed - this hotel fell far short. The mattress provided very little support and was uneven (clearly most people slept on the side that had a night stand). It wasn’t even a spring mattress, just a 6-inch or so foam mattress on a metal frame. Thankfully, I was only there one night. I won’t stay here again.
