Layne Hotel

The Layne Hotel is very clean and well maintained. Randy and all his staff are very professional and friendly. Very quiet, charming little boutique Hotel located 2.5 blocks from Union Square and Macys etc. I had a fabulously relaxing stay and would definetly return in future. Wi-fi included. Many shops, stores, restaurants in walking distance as well.

A simple and clean hotel very close to downtown and to the BART (about 15 min walk) with several shops and restaurants around. Very nice managers. Good for your budget, especially in that area. The room was clean and very quiet. In my case the bathroom was in the corridor but easy to reach, right in front of my room. Got my 250$ deposit back quickly. I recommend this place.

Let's be clear: This hotel is at the border of the Union Square district (touristy) and the Tenderloin district (super sketchy, don't go there). There are drug addicts and homeless people in the streets, and the streets are dirty. Does that means that this reflects on the hostel services? No. The personnel is sweet and caring. They advised itineraries and streets to avoid without me asking. There is a solid gate and a receptionist 24/7 who makes sure only the guests go in. The rooms are small but tidy, clean, colorful with furniture and devices that doesn't look like antiques. No dust, mold, dirty bedsheets or stained towels. Choice of pillows, thick mattress, I slept very well. Clean wooden floors. Little soaps for in bedroom sink provided as well as iron table, hangers and hair drier. F

As a solo female traveler, I probably could have chosen a better location. It was on the edge of the sketchy part of SF, but I was fine. Rooms had no AC but opening the window helped just fine. A bit noisy, but expected of a city. Rooms were clean and decently comfortable. Staff was really sweet and helpful - as someone who spent all of 9 hours in the hotel each night, it was a great spot!

You cant beat this price in central San Fransisco and the classic SF style architecture.. The rooms are nicely sized and clean with regular house keeping. The owner and staff are lovely, super friendly and always on hand to answer questions or help how they can (even helping me to get my phone fixed!). Well located to everything, but its on the border of where the town gets more lively/wild.. However the full gates with 24 hour front desk made it feel super safe and homely. 5 minute walk from Union square and a lovely french coffee shop. Really good value for what it is. Will definitely stay again.
