Hotel Grant - San Francisco

Very good for the price. Wifi is slow, breakfast is minimal, but free coffee and muffins from 6 am is good for jetlag.

Very well located! Kind of oldish furniture (carpets, TV, bathroom) but in totally ok condition! Good quality/price ratio.

Great value! Centrally located and nice room. Be aware that hotels in the US add a tax of approx. 14% when you check in.

Excellent location, good quality for the money. The staff is not especially helpful and sometimes they seem hardly competent. Most windows open to the wall of the next building except those rooms to the back of the hotel.

The Hotel Grant is very conveniently located with Union Square only 3 blocks away, the cable car to Fisherman's Wharf is at the first cross street. It is very clean and comfortable and there is a lovely Japanese restaurant Sushi Tomi one door away.

We found the Hotel Grant staff welcoming, the room easy on the eye, clean and comfortable, bathroom functional. Importantly there was a disabled access and lift. I have severe arthritis and do not like to climb stairs, so the disabled entrance was good and the fact the hotel had a lift. Also the top floor was floor 5 which meant that in an emergency I could get down the stairs. I felt it represented value for money. It was well situated in regard to visiting attractions, finding cafes, restaurants etc. The breakfast was sufficient to break the fast and if you needed to get away in a hurry. I loved the Japanese restaurant one door away from the hotel.

The stay at the Grant Hotel was very disappointing. The Hotel smelled like urin, also the rooms. My clothes smelled really badly after returning home. The Hotel was unbelievably noisy. We could here everything that was going on in the rooms next to us and in the hallway. We were woken up every morning EARLY because of other guests and housekeeping cleaning rooms. The guests who stayed next to us liked to watch television late at night and this kept us awake. I have never slept as little in any other Hotel. Also there was no information in the hotel room. We did not know the number to front desk or how to call room to room. The staff was not very help full, and they all seemed very indifferent. I find it very strange that the staff didn't say hello, or goodnight or whatever whenever we entered the Hotel. They didn't even look up from the computer, and there where no other guests there. One of the receptionists was acting unprofessional by being in a bad mood and clearly showed us that calling for a cab to the airport was a hassle. The only positive thing I can say about the Grant hotel is the location. Besides of this the Hotel was expensive compared to service and the product we received.

The room is nice and Location is very safe. The staff was warmhearted. There few grocery stores near the hotel, so it seems better to buy your snack, if you need, at Walgreens near the centre of the city (ex. Union Square)

The best that can be said about this awful place and our bare bones room is that it had a bed,although the room was so small that we kept bumping our knees into it. No coffee maker, no hair dryer, no wi-fi, one towel per guest..etc. We inquired about getting some heat in the room because it was chilly when we got there. We were told that they controlled the heat and because they didn't think it was cold enough to turn it on, we (and the other people that were cold)weren't getting any heat. Which brings me to the front desk personnel. It was fitting as well that the ones that spoke English weren't friendly and the ones that may have been friendly didn't speak English. Overall, this was a miserable stay at a place I would not recommend to my enemies. I was enticed by the price but trust me, pay a little more and stay anywhere but here.

Really nice hotel, very close to Union Square. The heating is working by means of some automatic system, so the person in the reception cannot turn it on (it should turn on automatically by itself) - the only con. Breakfast (pastry and tea/coffee) is really nice. Tea/Coffee is available all the time for free too.

Very disappointing. Only good thing was location near Union Square.

Wonderful location (only up to a very steeply road), lot of restaurants, pubs and shops just 1 minutes far from the hotel.Safe neighbours also to walk in the night. Wireless only works in the hotel hall but there is a public network (5$/day) that can be used from the rooms. The staff does his best to be kind, somethimes without completely succeeding ! I would reccomend this hotel to couples also with children who are looking for a cheap, well located, quite and clean accomodation in San Francisco. Good car rental (national and alamo) just in front of the hotel, very kind staff, good prices.

Excellent Hotel, not so expensive, very well located near union square. The hotel is very clean and quiet. Too bad the parking is opposite the road and quite expensive; no wifi in the room and a forgettable breakfast. Overall, it is a good opportunity if you want to stay a couple of days in S.F.

Good location and cleanliness, 2 pc available for free

Well situated hotell for sight-seeing and shopping at a decent rate.

Spartan but tasteful room that was newly renovated, very clean and comfortable, WiFi in the lobby was a bit slow, but the location was great.

It was our first stay at Hotel Grant.

Nice place and great location, can easily walk to public transport or straight to the main sights. lovely, helpful and kind staff breakfast Ok and free internet in the lobby

Staff was very gentle. Breakfast very simple, only cofee, tea, muffins; no juice or fruits, but there were a machine that provides chocolate, capuccino etc, at low cost. rooms very cosy and large but a little smelly, windows did'nt open. good beds, simple towels and blankets, according to price.

We have been to SF three times and have experienced three hotels. Our stay at the Grant ranks first in terms of value for the money

The hotel was the worst memory of my trip to San Francisco. The location near Union Square is the only good point of this hotel. I think I had the worst room of the hotel, small, not clean, dark, with a window and a wall just behind at 50 cm... And all for 100$ per night... One day before we were in Vegas in a luxury room for 50$ per night. What a contrast !

Perfect location. Close to Union Square, five minutes walk to shoping area. China Town and Cable Car just round the corner. Nice staff. free internetservice. If we go back to Sf we will stay here again, no doubt.

Poor breaksfast but no problem.

I can not recommend this hotel to travelers looking for clean room(s) and friendly treatment in hotel. E.g., I found a bug!! in my bed.

Hotel bien situé, prés de la station Powells (métro,baert,bus et cablecar),et de chinnatown,les chambres sont corrects et propes,petit déjeuner café+patisserie,deux ordinateurs à disposition.

Great for our needs. Clean, close to public transport, good location, good price. you dont need anything more when you are travelling. Recommend this hotel to anybody that is prepared to stay in budget accommodation and wants to see the city.

Very good location. Close to the Union Square and Powell Street streetcar lines. While they state that free wireless internet is only available in the lobby, I was able to access the internett on my laptop in my room as my room which was close to the lobby... Woohoo!!

Hotel staff was very nice & competent. Room was clean, but funky with age. Was fine for an economy money saver.

Strange smell in the corridor, but overall fully met our expectation. Would come back...

Good value for money. The hotel is very well located in dowwntown San Francisco, 50 m to Powell Street with its Cable Car. The Hotel has no breakfast room, but offers a complimentary coffee/tea cum muffins at the reception. There are two PCs for free IN access in the reception area. The room we were in was spacious with a big bathroom. If one does not expect a deluxe accomodation but a clean, comfortable one at a good price in a good location, this is it.

It has good loby, however is alfonbra floor (which is very old and smelly), you have not done cleaning the carpet, therefore the rooms and hallways smell very bad, we had to be used air fresheners. EN ESPAÑOL Tiene buen loby, sin embargo los pisos tiene alfonbra (la cual es muy vieja y maloliente), no le han realizado limpieza de la alfombra, por tal motivo las habitaciones y los pasillos huelen muy mal, tuvimos que utilziar ambientadores

We stayed 3 nights. Location and desk service excellent. Receptionist extremely helpful. But building very old and grotty. If one can afford anything better, go there. BUT EXCELLENT value for the price. Ideal for young people, students, people on very tight budget.

Good location, for the price it was good value for money

Excellent situation, near to the cable car. Many facilities to have lunch or dinner (the japanese restaurant by the hotel, delicious!). Free access to internet with Apple Mac! The worst, our view from the room (a wall). Staff very friendly. Relation price/quality very good!

Take this hotel for what it is, a cheap place in a good position to lay your head, while you enjoy all the other things san fran has to offer.

Lovely and nice priced place to stay! Highly recommendable! Walking distance to shops in downtown, and got a Alamo car rental just across the street (750 Bush Street). The staff is very friendly and helps if you got any questions whatsoever. My girlfriend and I, stayed for 3 days, and is comming back in a month. The rooms are nice and well sized, and got a digital safe, which is free of charge! There are to up to date mac. computers in the lobby, free to use, and wireless access in the lobby as well. Unfortunately the wireless connection only works in the lobby, but there is chairs, couches and tables. The only very small minus is the breakfast that only contains doughnuts, muffins and danish, tee and regular coffee. Would be nice with some cornflakes or other non-sugar product. But its for free! :) Do you need a nice, well located and cheap place to stay, this is where you wanna go!

ERxcellent place in the middle from S.F. All kind s public transports very near. Big room and cheap for what is offered.

Site compared with quiteness and price, almost unbeatable. Cable Car 1/2 block down the road, Chinatown 2 blocks, theaters etc. walking distance. We enjoied our stay

This was our first visit to San Francisco and Hotel Grant is marvellous for its situation and overall services. The breakfast was more than we expected.

Le lobby est très petit le soit disant petit dejeuner est minimaliste et juste " tables pour s'assoir ne parlons pas de l'accueil qui est vraiment pas aimable par contre l hotel est très bien situé et rien a redire sur les chambres et la tranquillité

The hotel is situated in very good position! Very good relationship between price/quality- You can find 2 pc with internet connection free. Definitly a good choice.

Hotel Grant was a great place to stay in when we just arrived to the US. The staff is very welcoming and helpfull. The rooms are very clean and quiet. The location is great - just in the middle of everything.

Great hotel! great location! our flight came in early in the morning and we asked if we could check in early (around 10am) because we had jetlag (after 20 hours of flying. they had the room ready in a jiffy! the room was pretty small but i guess all the rooms in the area for that price range is about the same. free internet in the lobby, nice place! free pastries, coffee and tea. very good location, literally one block from union square.

Pros: -central location -cheap -free coffee and baked goods in the morning, decent quality -refrigerator, safe, and hair dryer in the room -didn't need the lobby computer terminal, as Grant's wi-fi was free and OK strength in room -parking across the street is 1/2 price for guests, about $24.00/24 hrs. -clean room, clean bathroom, huge walk-in closet, GREAT BED! Cons: -when we arrived, the room had a strong chemical cleaner type smell that we eventually beat down with incense. The main hallway downstairs had a stink too, sort of an old building stink reminiscent of pee, although it was raining and that might have contributed to the scent -for some reason our key needed to be reset each day, we kept getting locked out of our room -the main lobby and reception desk area have a bit of a grungy look, nothing a coat of pain or some elbow grease and vinegar wouldn't fix

An excellent place to visit S. Francisco and spend few money!! Abbiamo alloggiato in questo hotel per 5 giorni, e lo abbiamo trovato più conveniente di altri hotel a 3 e 4 stelle che abbiamo girato lì soprattutto per la locazione e per il rapporto qualità/prezzo. L'hotel è davvero centralissimo e a due passi dalle cable car e bart stations. Le camere sono vecchiotte, ma estremamente pulite per essere negli USA. La moquette non è nuovissima, ma c'è un guardaroba abbastanza spazioso (avevamo preso una queen). Il lavabo è fuori dal bagno, il che all'inizio ci sembrava un pò strano, ma poi lo abbiamo trovato comodo visto che eravamo in due. La colazione è molto buona: a parte il caffè, che ovviamente è quello americano e tutte le cose diverse dal caffè costano 1$, però ci sono muffins, ciambelle e dolcini in abbondanza e sono davvero ottimi! C'è la wireless nella hall, ma...se prendete una camera al 2 piano, riuscite a collegarvi comodamente dalla camera stessa!! Alla reception, se beccate la signora asiatica fate attenzione: è una tipa stranissima! Invece un certo Bill, un signore distinto e un pò inglese, è stato davvero la nostra salvezza: sa dare informazioni precise sui dintorni e sugli spostamenti nella città. Oltre alle strade principali (powell e market street), anche la chinatown è a due passi da questo hotel: non perdetevi una cena da Hunan's Home, si mangia benissimo e non è caro! Un'ultima cosa: se alloggiate al Grant, non occorre che noleggiate un'auto: è davvero tutto facilmente raggiungibile, e l'auto sarebbe un impiccio.

Hotel centralissimo,semplice e pulito. utilissima la postazione internet gratuita. nella stanza mancava però un phon e l'aria condizionata. nel complesso molto soddisfatto

The hotel was exactly as described. What the room lacks in size and amenities, more than makes up in location and price. A hair dryer and iron would be a plus, but made due without. The room is a little loud, but it is also in the center of the city, so it was expected. The continental breakfast was a great way to save money!

At first glance the hotel seems pretty shabby, though eventually you get good value for money. It is clean, and most of the other guests seemed to be ok folks. The staff was certainly helpful though not all of them possessed best command of English. Though the room had a private bath, the sink was located inside the room itself and not in the bathroom, which was strange but not too bad.

The rooms were clean, but you never knew when the maid was going to be there...and as for a conversation in the room and not having anyone hearing....forget it

Room faced bush st - VERY NOISY. Hard to sleep. Also only 2 very flat pillows and sink in middle of room. Very unusual. Requested Quiter room but none available so unable to determine other types of rooms.

Great location, spitting distance from the Powell St cable car. clean and spacious rooms. washing basin in the room not in the bathroom which I find strange. free wifi in the lobby. "breakfasts" very basic, a muffin or a danish and drip coffee :-/ luckily there are some food better places around (try the one 1/2 block down Powell St) the street may be noisy at night, which is particularly annoying when you're jetlagged and struggle getting asleep. overall, good value.

Really convenient area, what's more, my favorite food is the pizza house called uncle vito's just across the street( on the corner), good experience to stay Grand!

Handy for Powell/Mason cable car, and Union Square shops i.e Macys, Saxs 5th Avenue, and Tiffanys. The continental breakfast was Ok but only two tables, so it was easier to eat in the room. Coffee and tea were available 24 hours.

The hotel definitely falls in the older quaint category, but I was pleased with the overall experiance. I booked (and paid for) a room with a queen bed, but our room actually had a double bed - not a queen. I didn't bother to question it until checkout and the receptionist insisted that it really was a queen size bed in that room. I didn't complain earlier because we were happy with the location, price, and we didn't want to pack up to switch rooms. The price and location were great for a casual weekend trip to San Francisco. We had easy access to public transportation and went everywhere we planned to visit. We didn't miss not having a rental car one bit. The BART station was about six blocks downhill from the hotel. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again, but I would check the size of the bed a little more closely before I unpack.

Alamo Rent a car is just in front!

The Hotel is in a very good position for visiting S.Francisco regarding public transportation and for restaurants and shopping.

Hello! we are from spain, and we stayed in Grant Hotel for 12 days and it was fantastic!.The employers are so friendly and they help you in everythings they can.It was our firt time in this hotel but not the last!. Thanks for all!

Excellent choice for single/young couples: at the heart of San Francisco spending really cheap money.

My boyfriend and me we had a fantastic stay in San Francisco. The Grant Hotel was perfectly located for what we planned to do. Just around the corner the cable car stopped, Union Square was only a few hundred meters away and many other things are in walking distance. Just be careful if in terms of what you expect for breakfast. You will sit in the lobby, eating Croissants, Muffins and Donuts with a coffee or tea. No cheese, no bread or that kind but still ok. However, we were absolutely happy with what we had at Grant Hotel and I would stay there again.

Perfect location between Union Square and China town - good convenction with a garage right in front of hotel,parking in san francisco is difficult and expensive in the most importan area.If you rent a car the hotel makes this facility. Breakfast would be better,but in USA is never included in price like in the most of north europe

Location is this hotel's best feature - it's two minutes from Union Square, and just minutes from Chinatown, the Financial District and Market Street. So of course there are dozens and restaurants and shops all around. The hotel itself is not fancy but very nice. The rooms are of decent size (though not big), the bathrooms are spacious and very clean. The staff was nice and generally helpful. There was no real breakfast, but the hotel did provide pastries every morning in lobby. It is not a romantic place, but if you are looking for a clean and modestly priced hotel in central SF, Grant is a great option.

I have stayed in the hotel for holiday. It is quite small for the american standards, but large enough for european ones (i'm italian). The furniture is quite old but well keeped. The best thing is that the hotel is one block away from Union Square and the prices are really interesting!

Hotel Grant is in a great area and close to everything you would need. It is cheap and clean and great for families.

We stayed in SF for 4 days and the hotel stay was great. The location is great. The rooms are clean and the service is friendly. Overall a very nice experience. It is not a 5 star hotel, however for a clean, friendly, central and not expensive place your choice is clear: The Grant Hotel.

Nice hotel for exploring San Francisco. Nearby Chinatown and other interesting areas. Good relationship between price and quality. Would certainly book again if I would return to San Francisco

The Grant Hotel is in a great location. I have stayed here twice. I have never had any problems with this hotel. Chinatown and Union Square are a short walk from the hotel. It is also close to the Grace Cathedral. The continental breakfast in the morning is simple but appreciated. You can't beat the Grant Hotel for quality and price in pricy San Francisco. I urge anyone looking for a San Francisco hotel to stay here.

Everything was perfect, except there was an awfull smell in the hotel. This made the overall stay unpleasant.

We highly recommend this hotel to people who (like us) don't want to spend too much money in the accomodation but enjoy the city instead. The location is great, the rooms are clean. The lobby is worn-down and don't wait too much from the breakfast. But all in all, we were satisfied!

This is a travelers hotel. The room was clean and very nice. Parking across the street was great. Excellent location. Best price for location. I highly recommend this hotel for travelers on a budget.

Ideal location for cable cars and access to San Francisco. Comfy, friendly hotel, would stay there again.
