Close to Union Square and Powell St. station (cable car, bus, train, streetcars) this hotel has a great location. We stayed in a double room ensuite on the fourth floor. The room was spacious and the beds were clean, however don't look under the beds. There was a lot of noise coming in through the windows, and with emergency vehicles... More

Great location for Union Square but a bit of a trek for the Wharf. The beds seemed clean enough, but when we checked out I had a look round the room in case the odd sock had fallen under the bed and I was disgusted. There were used cotton buds, hairs, food crumbs and a receipt that was dated well... More

We were stuck in SF with very little funds and in need of a place to stay. We stumbled onto the Dakota late in the evening and were able to get a room at a rate we could afford. We had checked several other places claiming to have good rates in the area and found them dirty and frightening. The... More

Me and my friend were moved here where there was no room left in Adelaide Hostel (which is just round the corner) and were very happy to have moved as the Adelaide is down a dark alley with lurking homeless people! Our room had a double bed and a camp bed with a normal matress on which was perfectly comfortable... More

The place is old.Needs a new lift for sure.The rooms are ok but i had a noisy room facing the street.Disturbes your sleep.Its more planned for a group stay and hostel rather than a single private hotel room.Below average breakfast.Only advantage is if you visit union square its right there.

When we arrived the hostel (that was at night), the guy at the reception told us that they don't have a dorm of 4, only a bigger one... and regarding the next... More

Heart sank as we checked in & found our room. Shabby, dingy and room not cleaned. when we went up. Left our stuff locked in the room & went out exploring. Very handy to Union Square and all the transport options and a nice part of town. On our return found our duty free alcohol was missing & the TV... More

The room was so disgusting that I didn't think twice about throwing my trash on the floor. The bathtub was rusty and one leg was being supported by an old moldy magazine to keep the tub from wobbling. Shower curtain had apparently been pissed on multiple times. Moldy. Moldy Moldy. Oh, and did I mention that our room was broken... More

I stayed at Dakota Hotel on my way to BAJA California and I had such a great time. In the center of the City, you are close to the Pier and surrounded by nice places to eat. The dorms are quiet and have very nice shower. Their breakfast is incredible and fill you up for the day!! People at the... More
