We spent there several days in april .And it was perfectly well.Hotel is situated in a very good place in a step-by-step availability to restaurants and stores. Be carefull booking your room, because not all of them have the same conveniences. We feel a special gratitude to receptionist Anastasia for assistance and understanding!

Stayed here because the location is great. Have never spent this much $$ and had no amenities, not even wifi in the room, just USB cable. No tissues, no cups/glasses, and most of all no smiles! Half the hotel is residential it turns out, so interesting folks making lots of noise at night. Look for other options.

Check in was very quick. Booked a queen with bathroom. Got a great deal, booked about a month in advance. Room was a great size as was the bathroom. Our room was right by the elevator but never heard any noise from the hallway or neighbors. The room had an exposed brick wall which gave the room character. The room... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and found the hotel to be fine but without any extra touches. For the price, this is a great location and you could not get better if you were in San Francisco for the shopping! There is a cable car turnaround just down the street so access to other areas is easy too. Our... More

The Herbert hotel was in the best location for the price. Right in the middle of San Francisco shopping and restraunts at union square. The room was lovely and clean. A little small, but all we needed for sleeping. We would love to go back :)

The bed was very comfortable and ensuite very clean.The hotel was being refurbished but noise was not a problem. The cable car runs past in Powell Street and Union Square is less than 5 minutes walk.
