Grant Plaza Hotel - San Francisco

This is the place to stay if you're looking for somewhere close to everything in SF, and has just the necessities to sleep, shower & change your clothes, which is all we needed. We were one bus ride away from AT&T Park, one bus ride away from Fishermen's Wharf & one bus ride away from the Alcatraz Pier. The front desk staff was friendly & knowledge […] able. Read more

This is a very noisy hotel - it was as though the people in the surrounding rooms were right in the same room (could hear conversations at normal volume, showers, alarms, phones, etc.) Rooms are in okay condition, but very small.

You get what you pay for. If you're used to hostels, this would be okay for you. Not very secure - they let delivery people walk up to the hotel rooms. Price is okay, cheap for San Fran. Very very noisy!

I'll never stay there again...key card did not work three times. The first night...Then room was switched...fast, but the back up room was not ideal

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

An excellent location particularly for China Town, but a long uphill walk from Bart. Staff very courteous and obliging - except that alarm call we booked was late as was call re shuttle bus and in neither case did the operator stay to confirm an answer. It is really hard to keep old rooms fresh and clean but hotel achieved this. With a little more effort […] the hotel could be excellent. Read more

We would have loved to have had this hotel for our entire stay in San Francisco. Unfortuantely it was only available for a portion of our trip. A small lack of a few conveniences. No fridge, a shower instead of a tub shower combo. A bit tight on space and a ice machine that costs a quarter for a limited amount. With all that said a great location close […] to Union Square and the Financial District. Beautiful old rooms some with stained glass and for a family a very nice park/playground across the street in St. Mary's Square. Overall an affordable and great choice in the middle of the "tourist" portion of Chinatown. Read more

Resemable cost for location. Parking for hotel is a little bit of a walk from hotel Rooms are dated but functional. Good hotel if you go anywherr into the financial district or china town.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Housekeeping service was good. Place is clean. No bed bugs (I checked for them first). Price is reasonable. Walls are thin and so is the noise from rooms above. But if you need a clean room with little amenities I recommend this.

If you are considering downtown SF, stay at Grant Plaza. I've been coming here 4 times over the past two years and I am very happy with my stay everytime. It is a great location and not overpriced! You get what you pay for: a clean room (new towels and stuff everyday), hot shower, comfy beds, flatscreen TV. While in SF you shouldn't spend too much time […] at your hotel anyway - there are too many things to do and see. So for a 27 year old world traveler like myself, Grant is a really good deal.

the individual springs in the mattress felt like they were bursting through the padding. Time for a new mattress Grant Plaza Hotel! Also, the radiator was on and made the room like a boiler room -- unless you opened the window and then of course there was the street noise...

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room heat could not be adjusted-too hot. The bathroom needed painting and the tile floor needed brightening. It was quiet and the bed was good. LIght was okay for reading.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Nice location and affordable price for a room with its own bathroom for travelers who just need a place to stay in San Francisco. It was the second time I stayed at this hotel and I would definitely consider it again if I am making another trip to SF.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The walls are thin enough to hear your neighbor's conversation. And every step you take can be heard. And if you use the faucet or the shower, everyone will know. Still, it's not bad for the price. Rooms are quite small, but everything else in SF is overpriced. Great location, though. Easy to get to from BART.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

location was perfect - thank goodness for that because the rest was not so good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Nice location and friendly staff. It was hard to sleep though because it was either too warm or too cold. There is no temp regulator in the room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Price and location were right, room was clean, had free wifi. Shower didn't have hot water either morning, bed and pillows were not very comfortable, TV had 10 channels. You get what you pay for.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Room was relatively clean but needed updating. Bed for 2 was so tiny, I'm 5'4 and my feet hung over the edge! Shower was very low, OK if you're under ~5 feet! No bathtub. Water in the loo flushed yellow, which was a little odd! Staff we're friendly. No amenities available in hotel. No drinks machine or breakfast available. No tea or coffee in room. […] No microwave or fridge in room or hotel for customers. Location was in China Town, just near the arch. Great to pop out for Chinese food. Read more

Great, small, boutique hotel right in the heart of Chinatown. My only complaint would be the lound people next door. One of the best showers I've ever taken...superb heat and pressure.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Grant Plaza is a must stay for someone who is wanting to be centrally located without paying an arm and a leg for the convenience. The hotel is a clean, basic hotel with amicable staff. We used only public transportation starting at the airport. It is also easy access to the hotel. The City Pass worked really well for us.

This hotel is in the perfect location if you want the experience of China Town and the convience of Union Square. The hotel is clean, and the staff friendly. The rooms are small, but offer what anyone would need for their stay. I would definately stay in this hotel again, and recommend it to anyone looking for a great location to enjoy China Town.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is an excellent location with a staff that tries to be very helpful. The rooms are generally clean with functioning toilets, showers, faucets, and TV. However, they are on the small size, the beds are a little hard, and the pillows were awful. Our final night there we heard some ruckus out in the hallway. Fortunately it didn't really impact […] our stay other than providing a few nights sleep. If you are looking for a decent hotel at a decent price in the SF downtown this is a good place to stay.

If you want a fairly clean and modest hotel room as your "home base" while in San Francisco, this is it! Our room was small, but clean and on the interior of the building which made it quiet but a little dark. We had maid service every day giving us fresh towels and making the bed and she did her best to clean around our piles. The front desk staff […] was very friendly and helpful with questions and we lived by the map they gave us when we checked in. Then, the minute you step out the door, you can go anywhere in SF! You are one block from the gate of Chinatown and a few blocks from the Ferry Building. We are real walkers , so from the hotel we walked to Fisherman's Wharf (on the way back walked all the way up to Coit's Tower), Pier 39, through North Beach and to Haight Ashbury---over 3 days, not on the same day. If we wanted we could have jumped on a cable car near any of these places. This is NOT the Hilton and you have to pay for ice (just a quarter for a half bucket), but you are in a great spot to visit any part of SF you want quickly and easily. Read more

If you like Chinatown, then boy this is the hotel you got to stay in. The front desk guys are super friendly and helpful. The location is GREAT. It is right by the entrance of Chinatown, 5 min walk to city transportation and about 10 minutes from Market Street. BUT!!!! make sure you ask for a room facing the street. All the other rooms faces this weird […] atrium of concert and other rooms. If you open your windows, you can literally throw stuff into other guests rooms. Street view is better. Last note, the room picture is a bit misleading on hotels.com. It's NOT THAT BIG, and very un-sound proof. Read more

I would stay there again. The desk clerks were friendly and helpful. There was a place store luggage before check-in and after check-out. Very handy for a travel schedule. Very handy to Chinatown and the general donwtown shopping/theater district. Buses within a very short distance, one block or so.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Small room but very clean and nicely maintained. Conveniently located to places of interest. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Definitely not luxury but a perfect place to stay if you are looking for an inexpensive hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Location in Chinatown was okay (can walk to The House of Nan King). Bed springs left marks on my back, mold in bathroom and windows was disturbing. Noise level in the hall was high, but the drunk guy with no shoes in the elevator was comic relief for an otherwise embarrassing cheap hotel booking in a city I've never been to.

Grant Plaza hotel in San Francisco is located within chinatown. Its close to union square where all the shopping, pubs, restaurants are located. most of the hop-on hop-off tours also start from union square.The room was small but being san franciso, i guess this room had good value for money.it would have been nice to have coffee maker in the room and […] also a business center to take printouts. There was someone at the reception lobby at all times and they were helpful to answer any questions. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff was friendly enough, nothing spectacular. The inside of the hotel was decent although it was obvious the building was old and there had been many changes since the original. The room we stayed in was tiny but it served its purpose as being a place to sleep. The room itself was not bad but the shower had more mold and mildew in it than I have […] seen in a long time. Definitely would not pass an inspection. That alone with knowing what that can do to human health made it clear I will never stay there again and ensure that my friends and family don't either.

If you just need a place to sleep in and not asking for much more than that, this hotel is what you want. You have a TV set and a WiFi connection; what else do you need? If you're expecting something fancy or elegant, don't bother to consider this place.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The only downside of the hotel is that it does not have A/C. Aside from this the staff is very friendly, the rooms are cleaned and is in a good Location.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Uncomfortable small beds, very old looking rooms, old and dirty bathrooms, no screens on windows

Genuine Expedia guest review

It is a centrally located no-frill hotel for the budget minded traveller.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

For the price, you can not beat the location of this place! Although the room was pretty small and reminded me of a tiny B&B, but we were comfortable and enjoyed our time in San Fran. The people working the front desk were also extremely nice and helpful. I would gladly stay there again.

We were very pleased with everything about the hotel. Great location to just about anywhere you want to go.
