The check-in staff were really lovely and polite, and they kindly accommodated my request to store my medication in their fridge as my room didn’t have one, which I really appreciated. The room itself was clean, modern, and very comfortable – just perfect for a couple of nights. The location is also excellent, within walking distance of the train station, public transport, shopping, and plenty of places to eat. Overall, a great stay and I’d happily return.

This was a basic hotel in a great area. The hotel itself had little to no amenities, except coffe and pastries in the morning, which were okay. No ice machine, microwave in any of the rooms. Thank goodness the neighborhood had everything to offer from retail stores, cafes, restaurants, and multiple modes of transportation, in addition to an open air plaza around the corner where you could sit, listen to free music, play games etc. I would not stay here again, but definitely stay in the area( Union Square) again.

This was my first visit to San Francisco and I have read reviews extensively for various hotels. The Stratford had incredible reviews from everyone and I can see why. The staff is phenomenal and incredibly friendly. From the moment I checked in I felt great. The room is immaculately clean and serves the purpose for a visit to this city. I will be back!

Strangest Hotel l have ever stayed in. It was clean, but there was no shower curtain for the tub, no closet, no drawers and no ice on the property. Most of the people at the front desk were not very friendly and even though it said in the description they could store your luggage, they could not. The cable car runs just outside the hotel. Other than that, l really liked the location. There are other hotels around that might be a better choice
