"Excellent Hotel"

loved the location, very convenient and comfortable. Privacy is minimal but not to the point where it is uncomfortable. I would totally book at the Stratford again.
"great location."
Very nice hotel. great location on the corner of union spuare. litle noisy if you get the street view room (but for us its better because the other rooms are facing a wall). the staff is very very friendly and helpfull. helped us with a smile every time. the room doesnt have air condition but we stayed in april so its good. but in the summer i think […] it can be too hot.

"Clean, Comfortable and convenient"
Although the room was the smallest I've ever stayed in, it was clean and suffient. The location was excellent as it is on the trolley line and only couple of blocks away from the BART station.

right in the middle of everything
"Small, Clean, Affordable"
This hotel was so personable. Elisa the front desk lady and the other staff were very friendly. My room was small but the clean sheets and cute decor made up for it. Although the hotel is on a busy street, it was not noisy at all. I'd definitely stay here again!

The Stratford Hotel is a gem. It is very close to shopping, transportation, convention centers, restaurants... and priced economically. OK, my room was small but I did not expect to spend much time in m room - I was in San Francisco! The management team and staff accomodated my requests in a couretous and timely manner. All-in-all: a great place to […] stay in downtown San Francisco on a limited budget. Read more
"clean and basic."
this is definitley an older hotel, but the rooms were very clean and basic. The location was great, right in the middle of all the union square action. I wouldn't stay at this hotel if your looking for the romantic lunch tea time or for the breakfast, but for a quick getaway to the city, you can't go wrong.
"Stratford Hotel in San Francisco - good location"
The Stratford Hotel in Union Square is extremely well located, close to the center of the city where you can grab public transportation everywhere. There is even a BART stop close by for those coming from the airport. The hotel itself is small but cozy. Breakfast consists of toasts and coffee so plan accordingly. Front desk was fast and efficient, they […] also speak spanish if necessary. If you stay on this hotel, make sure not too stray below Market street as it's quite shady, however, if you stay within Union Square or go North or East to the financial area you will be fine and it's always well lit and populated.

this hotel is in a prime location close to shopping and restaurants. The staff was great. The only drawback was that the rooms are extremely small and there was no control over the temperature in the room. We were very uncomfortable because it was too warm.
"Clean and Convenient, but Small and Cold"
We arrived at Stratford Hotel after a long international flight, but were told we would not be able to check in at 3:00 because of a computer problem. We finally got into our room at about 4:30. The room itself was clean and comfortable, though quite small. My only real complaint about the room is the unevenness of the temperature. Granted, it is an […] old building, heated by an old-fashioned radiator, but it seems they would turn on the heat for a few hours in the evening, making the room uncomfortably hot, and then turn it off, so we would wake to bone-chilling cold.

"Stratford Hotel"
Very old. Very small queen room, open the door & the bed is about 4" away. Window looked out to a brick wall. No a/c had the window open at night & it rained there was a piece of sheet metal & when the rain hit it sounded like steel drums at 3 a.m. not what I wanted to hear. The wall our headboard was on the stairs were behind it. Elevator very slow […] so everyone was taking the stairs. We complained & did get moved to a suit. Bedroom was the same & looked out on the same brick wall, but there was a living room that looked out onto Powell st. was nice & big with a fridge, and a/c in the bedroom. Would not stay here again.

"Perfect location, great hotel"
We were really pleased with this hotel the location was ideal, right in down town, and they have free breakfast. Rooms were small but spotless, save money for enjoying San Francisco and sleep right in the center of all the action for a reasonable price.
"Good location, small showers"
We liked this hotel a lot. It's located in the middle of a very fun and busy neighborhood and only a ten minute walk from the convention center. The rooms were small but clean. Good wifi too. The only thing I didn't like was the shower. It is tiny and has a flow-restricting shower head that barely gets you wet. Other than that, it's great!

"Great Location!!"
My friend and I decided to go to San Francisco for a weekend of touristy sight seeing and we decided to stay at the stratford. We did not realize what a great location it was in. The cable cars run right in front of the hotel, which was really convenient. The rooms were very clean and the towels were nice and fluffy. Beds were not as comfortable as […] the Hilton or Marriott but still pretty good! Loved the oldness of the hotel, it was like going back in time. Elevator was a little slow.....oh well. Overall, very nice and great location!! Read more

"Charming"
Hotel is old, but very clean and charming. Set in a great part of town - conveniently located. Would stay again and recommend.
"Stratford Hotel Union Square"
Shared a great pre-Christmas weekend in the city. The Stratford was exactly what I had hoped: a very affordable, clean, comfortable hotel right off Union Square.
"Great downtown location, DON'T USE THEIR VALET!"
This was a great, basic place to stay. It had a small, clean, cozy room and bathroom, which was great because all we did was shower and sleep there. We were a little confused about the radiator though, so it was either really warm or cold with the window open. Not a big problem though. Great location... Plenty of late night places to eat across the […] street and on the surrounding blocks, a few blocks away from the cable car ticket booth, Muni, and BART stations, plenty of bars and shopping all within walking distance. Our only 2 bad experiences where having our card charged twice; which they gladly refunded with CASH, brought to our room, and the shock of a $145 valet bill at the end of our weekend. Our Yukon was considered oversized, for an extra charge, and they also added tax daily to our tab. We ended up paying double for parking there. I'd recommend looking for parking elsewhere, as we only used our vehicle once. We had a wonderful time and spent the whole weekend sightseeing and enjoying the surrounding area. This location made it very easy and enjoyable to do that. Read more
"Perfect Location!"
Hotel was located right around the corner from Union Square! Even though this is an older hotel, the rooms were okay for the price you pay ... they even offered an Afternoon Tea ... which was really just biscotti and coffee/tea, but still nice. Staff was helpful and friendly.
"The Stratford Hotel In San Francisco, Ca."
WOW! The hotel was everything that I prayed for! I will be visiting again. No questions asked, yes I will be staying there while visiting. The Stratford Hotel is a place you want to stay that has everything of comfort you would need. Yes, the rooms are small, clean but the heart of it all, ITs BIG. LOVE IT...THANK GOD for HIS direction to this gift. […] May GOD bless. Read more
"Great location"
Small room but clean and comfortable. Walking distance to most sites, Moscone Center, Union Sq., shopping, Chinatown. Continental breakfast was adequate.

"Stratford Hotel"
Room was too hot. Bed was uncomfortable. Odors from the business next door permeated the hallways. Internet was not good. Staff was cordial. Location ws great.
"Excellent location and great value for money"
This is good hotel located in one of the most convenient places in SF. For us it was a great value for money. 2 -ve points, our room has no wash basin in its bath room, it was outside. - a little strange and their elevator was extremely slow.
"Well beyond my expectations"

"Stratford Hotel"
Super comfortable hotel, good location! The breakfast wasn't great.
"Fantastic Location"
Loved this place. The price was awesome and the location even better. The rooms are small and the breakfast is limited, but the price and location made up for it. The rooms are small but super clean and cozy. You are a few steps from the trolley stop and union square. There is shopping galore and walking distance to Chinatown. I will be staying here […] again. Read more
"Great location, TINY room."
Great location. You couldn't ask for better spot. But the parking is $30 a night ($27 plus taxes and fees). The room is really really tiny.
Small but worth it. Very small room but it is so close the Union Square and price was so low. Even the parking was cheaper than other hotels.
"Let's Get Small"
Overall the hotel was not terrible. As long as you're comfortable with lodging in a room that's extremely cramped with no desk, loose electrical outlet fittings, small glass encased shower and expensive ($11/day), wonky WIFI service you'll do just fine here. Next time I travel to San Francisco I'll stay at the much better (and much more expensive) Parc […] 55 hotel. Read more
"Prime location on Union Square"
At the center of Union Square. Location was GREAT! All types of transportation nearby. Although the rooms are quite small, I would stay here next time I'm in San Fran. The price was right and free continental breakfast.
"Great Location, always clean"
I have stayed multiple times at the Stratford and have been impressed every time. The location is basically on Union Square and very close to the great shopping on Market street. The rooms are always immaculate and they wash all blankets every time, including bed covers! The rooms are be no means huge, but if you are looking for a great price for a […] clean, comfortable hotel with a great location, the Stratford if perfect. As for previous reviews of the noise from outside, if you don't like the noise of the city, then go to the country. Read more
Very small room with no frills but in a great location on Union Square right on the cable car line
"Great location for tourists, small rooms"
If you get a cheap rate, not a bad spot, but don't expect too much. Great location for exploring this area of the city, but very small rooms and a basic, but clean, hotel. Incredibly slow elevator, and don't bother with the free breakfast. Too cramped here for a long stay, but a good value for a couple nights if the price is right and you need to stay […] cheap. For that purpose I can recommend the hotel. Read more
"SMALL"
Room was too samll for two people. We were given one small bar of soap for two people. The beds were okay and room was clean. The bathroom was too small. No view from the window except a wall. There was an old fashioned radiator in the room, no frills. Nothing outstanding.
"Perfect for someone thrifty"
I've stayed here so many times and I've had no major complaints. It's cheap, you have your own bathroom, it's safe, it's in Union Square, the rooms are clean and staff @ front desk are very easy going and accommodationg. This is a no-frills kinda place. I find the rooms to get a little stuffy but it is not unbearable. Stay here if you are looking for […] something cheap and clean and close to Union Square, Westfield, Macy's etc :) Read more
"Stratford, close to everything and nice staff"
We stayed 4 days. It is affordable and very clean. I have no problem with street noise, but some people may find it disrupting. Breakfast was OK (and we didn't expect it). We were very lucky to find it.
Excellent location, breakfast was good, price was good, room was clean, and the staff were friendly. We will stay here again.
Nothing fancy. Clean, quiet and comfortable. Decent coffee and fruit, cold cereal and toast breakfast buffet. Can't get much closer to Union Square.
Great Location, great hotel staff!!!
Excellent location!
