Great service, better than other hotels in the same area. This newly renovated hotel is by far superior to other hotels in the same price bracket. The rooms are basically brand new, the bathrooms are great, loved the water-saving mechanism on the toilet that makes you feel "green" and helping the environment in a small way. Great internet speeed. I only had a small issue with the valet parking rate (higher than average) but in San Francisco, you just know that parking is going to be expensive.

We had two rooms and there was a mysterious smell that would come and go. It was weird but, we got used to it.

I and my colleagues were attending a conference. I reserved Abri and other colleagues reserved other hotels. Based on the price, it turned out that I got the best room and hotel. There are many hotels in that neighborhood, some much better than Abri, but then you have to shell out extra dollars. The ones in the Abri dollar range are not near as good as this one. However, one thing that really pissed me off was when I reached there (it was midnight), they put me up in a double and not queen that i had paid for. So, I complained and next day they put me into a queen but did not give any refunds for the first night.

Close to BART, beautiful room, nice staff -- definitely worth it. Bedroom was a bit small but well designed. We got the urban suite with a foldout couch. The extra space was nice, and the sleeper sofa is fine for kids or smaller adults but probably wouldn't be comfortable for bigger adults or couples.

Reserved Urban Suite during hotels.com half-price sale for this hotel. Fantastic bargain! Extremely comfortable; incredible location; large desk with easy access to power and cable connectors; free Internet access ($15/day at other downtown chain); refrigerator (pleasant surprise); very reasonable room service rates from adjacent Italian restaurant (lunch/dinner only). Rooms facing courtyard very quiet, but outside light is muted. Negative: Aromas from adjacent restaurant noticeable in room most of the time.

Great hotel! Nicely renovated! Service was great! The only thing I disliked was the water pressure in the shower... very weak! Everything else was outstanding though and made up for it.

If you intend to spent a lot of time in your room then you may have a problem. My room was a deluxe queen and it was tiny. It was nice, clean and the bed was huge but no room to really move around. And my closet was about 12 inches wide. Other than the size of the room I was comfortable with everything else. I would stay there again.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights and were extremely pleased. The staff is the absolute best. The beds were the most comfortable I have ever experienced in a hotel and our interior Urban Suite was extremely quiet, which is hard to come by it seems in Union Sq. The location is perfect. The cable car turnaround, trolley, and subway are literally around the corner. And there is a ton of shopping and restaurants within walking distance.

Very friendly, fun staff. Great amenities. We would definitely stay here again.

My sister and I stayed at the Hotel Abri 11/7-11/10. The staff is helpful and the room, especially the bed, was quite comfortable. As others have remarked, ask for an interior room away from the elevators and away from the Ellis Street side of the building. The location is perfect for grabbing a bus, streetcar, cable car and BART to/from the airport using San Francisco's expansive and easy public transportation system. To plan your sightseeing from the hotel with details on schedules, boarding cross streets and transfers, do some research before you go on the MUNI website.

Wonderful location in Union Square... Close to shopping, restaurants, and everything else you'd like to see in Union Square... Best place to get taxis also to other desired destinations within the City... Parking at the hotel is expensive so I recommended adjacent parking garages for less than half of the actual hotel... The room was small but had great amenities and style.. Big flat screen wall-mounted TV, computer next with all sorts of plug-ins, iPod docking station... Overall excellent choice with a great staff and great location... Would definitely stay again!

I stay here usually once a month for business. Each stay has been excellent. This time, I was upgraded to a suite without requesting it. The front desk staff are always helpful and very pleasant. I recommend this hotel.

A sweet hotel: the room was small, but nothing was missing. Well appointed, tastefully decorated, comfortable, clean and convenient. Staff was very helpful with questions regarding airport transportation, recommended neighborhood restaurants and help with connecting to the internet. Silly detail: I loved the soap - L'Occitane, my favorite. My two main problems with the room: water pressure in the shower was very low, and the windows let in a lot of noise from the street. Other than that, the hotel was perfect.

Nice boutique hotel in very convenient location. Small room but well-appointed and very comfortable. Free Wi-fi works well. Would stay here again and recommend it to others.

The hotel was in great condition, as was my room. I got the Urban Suite, and was impressed by not one, but two huge flat screens. I think the only downside to this hotel, and some may say its the charm, is that you can hear noises outside very easily. I was on the second floor, and all night I could hear cars, trash trucks, and even people going through the trash. There are quite a few panhandlers in the area, but this is true with most hotels in downtown SF. Dual or triple pane windows would've been nice here. Finally, the last big caveat, if you valet your car with them, they currently charge $50 per night (after tax). Most hotels in the area are also valet only. Even with the nightly valet fee, hotels.com makes this hotel more than worth the price. I highly recommend, and would stay again.

The 500 square feet suite is a lot smaller than it seems. In addition the hotel was noisy and did not have much privacy or sound proofing. Limited staff.

Modern decor in an older hotel. Rooms are small, but nice. Good location - my preference is to be on the other (Nob Hill) side of Union Square, but it's only a few blocks. Good value for this area.

While the stay was not horrific or anything like that the quality of the room was below par. I mean the room was spacious and "could" have been neat but the details just were not there. The fit and finish of the room was terrible and looked to have been worked on by amateurs. The room could have been cleaner as well, like a lot cleaner. I felt more like I was staying at a strangers home that was unkempt. These were all turn offs and not reflected in the rate which would have been more understandable if they were. Since I have stayed at nicer places in the same vicinity for an equal or lesser rate this also effects my rating. On the positive side its a good location for Union Square it wasn't noisy, the bed was comfortable and it was roomy but I don't remember the level of room so that may be useless information.

The room was tiny, but it was very convenient with a desk, coffee maker, and tv. The room was clean and the staff was great. The location was better than expected. It borders the Tenderloin, but as long as you stay on the Financial District and Union Square sides there isn't anything to worry about. Parking was expensive but the room rate I got was great so that made up for it.

This was my first visit to San Francisco and I was traveling alone and Hotel Abri was the PERFECT hotel. The staff was excellent and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable although alittle small. The area in Union Square was very convenient and I felt very safe. Their recommendations for breakfast were great!! I HIGHLY recommend this hotel and will stay here again on my next visit to San Francisco.

Hotel had been redone and was very good in amenities. Nice service and nice restaurant next door. Very nice for the money in the place it is.

Clean, very cool contemporary interiors. Old building charm, which means narrow hallways, and small rooms. Just pretend you are in Europe. I am a woman that travels constantly for work. A bit of a hotel snob, and this property was in a safe location, clean, good room service, nice staff. I will stay again.

The Urban Suite was advertised as 500 square feet, but wasn't that big. The rooms were small but adequate. We took an interior room to avoid street noise. The sitting room was quiet, but there was a constant hum in the bedroom due to the window air conditioner from an adjacent suite.

If you are a tourist trying to see all that Union Square offers this is a great hotel. Very convenient location. Rooms have all been renovated are are very spacious. My only issue was the price of parking, $45 a night. My suggestion would be to part at one of the 24 hour parking locations that are less expensive. There are many of them near the hotel.

Most comfortable bed ever, and the location is perfect for shopping or getting around the city!

This hotel is in a fabulous location and we liked it because it is a very tastefully decorated boutique hotel. We walked from our hotel all the way to Fisherman's Wharf and back again! It's literally around the corner from the BART and the cable car if long walks are not your thing. The staff was very courteous and helpful.

Great hotel, friendly staff and excellent location. This hotel exceeded my expectations. It is a little small, but the shower was awesome and the bed was extremely comfortable. Had a nice wide screen tv and a small fridge. I could not believe the location of the hotel. It was right in the middle of Union Square. A block from the Trolley, Bart and Muni. All of the shopping were in walking distance. Did not have central air, but a swamp cooler. Would recommend/stay at this hotel again, no questions asked.

Pros: cozy and comfortable, nice HDTV, not exposed to the sounds of Union Square (located across the street from Infusion Lounge, but we couldn't tell from our room), only a block away from BART [very minor] Cons: somewhat small space (it worked for us perfectly, but others may find it too small); elevator had a baked goods smell, but sometimes it came off too strong that it hurt our noses

Great hotel in a great location in Union Square. Even though the rooms are a little small, the hotel makes up for it. Large TV's, plush comfortable beds, and my favorite: large shower heads. Another thing is that there is little noise from the city. Me and my girlfriend slept with the windows open and we didn't hear any noise from Union Square, which is pretty amazing. We got a fantastic discount from hotels.com to stay here, but even without the discount, this is probably one of my favorite hotels to stay in San Francisco, and have recommended it to many people.

Make sure you don't get a room next to the elevator, it sounds like someone is throwing bowling ball at your door... all day long and all night long... every few minutes. After complaining several times, were able to change our room for the second night of our stay, but I can't believe they would actually think anyone could relax with that noise!!!

we only found out after booking and once we got there that the parking was 43$ plus tax!!!!! on top of that they failed to mention there was an overnight parking 2 minutes away( the O'Ferrell ) that is 6 $ from 5 pm until 8am!!! beds were very comfy but way too overpriced...

On top of everything else, they upgraded us from a King-bed room to a suite, which included a king-bed bedroom, bath, and a separate living room / office. This was really nice when I was doing work the next day. Overall, our room was incredibly comfortable and spacious, in a fantastic location (just 2 blocks from Union Square and 1 block from the Powell BART/Muni station), and the staff was very helpful and polite. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great location. Clean nice room. Staff very friendly. Computers and internet available in lobby. Great shopping and great location for public transportation.

The lobby was gorgeous but I was definately surprised how tiny the room was. Pretty much there is a 2 foot space around the bed and that's it. But the room was cute, nice flatscreen tv, and the bed was very comfy! Other than the size of the room, I thought the hotel was in a great location, right by the mall and 2 blocks from union square.

Excellent location: two short blocks to major shopping and end of cablecar line. Excellent restaurants nearby. Staff was both pleasant and helpful; provided recommendations on dining and shopping. Twenty minute walk to Chinatown. Room was small but nicely and newly decorated. Great bathroom and shower. Windows faced into a light court, so no view, but also, no street noise. There is no self-parking available, but valet service was prompt. $49 overnight. Hotel location is a little hard to find for someone who does not know the city due to the one-way streets, but it worth the effort.

The front desk staff were very helpful and really nice. The rooms were decent size and the beds were really comfortable. They have flat screen tv's, free wireless internet and Ipod docs. There is a great Italian restaurant/bar attached to the hotel that has great happy hour specials. The hotel is in a great area surrounded by a lot of restaurants/bars and the cable car stop is half a block away. The only bad thing was the parking at the hotel is by valet only and it was really expensive. We didn't use our rental car except to/from the airport, so next time I'll know not to get the car and use a shuttle.

Very friendly staff, loved the style and tiny details, bed was very comfortable, perfect location. It was a bit loud as there were construction works nearby, and parking was really expensive too.

This hotel is in the heart of San Francisco. The staff was amazing and very helpful. The king size bed was so comfortable that it was hard to get out of bed. The shower was huge and beautiful. We will be back soon.

The hotel is in a great location--between Union Square and Market Street. There are lots of restaurants nearby, everything from fast food to expensive gourmet. Tons of shopping within steps. About a 10 minute walk to the heart of Chinatown, 15-20 minutes to North Beach. The room was somewhat small, but no smaller than the usual hotels in San Francisco. The decorating was superb, the bathroom was nice, large shower, plenty of space and clean (I'm picky about that)! There was a refrigerator, a large flat screen TV and plenty of drawers for clothing storage. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I have no complaints whatsoever!
