I stayed here b/c my conference hotel was full and this was just two blocks away. The hotel is funky with a friendly guitar-player and wine in the lobby every evening, and *some* of the rooms are nice, clean, and airy enough. If you get the wrong room (I did until I upgraded), you will find yourself in a musty-smelly... More

What a nice place and right by the BART, the start of the Cable Car line and in the middle of the shopping district. We stayed here for our 5 night San Fran visit. The price was excellent (booked through Expedia). Fly in, hop on the Bart and you are right there - no cabs needed. We were surprised there... More

I usually hesitate to write non-positive reviews about the places I stay because I realize that much of it maybe an individual experience, but I do feel I need to highlight a few things about this hotel. Although advertised as a boutique hotel, I do find that it has outlived the 'expected' boutique aspect, its age is even beyond charming.... More

I just returned from a 5 night stay at hotel union square with friends. Great place, just half a block from the cable car turn around, two blocks from a BART stop, two blocks from a cab stand -- it really couldn't be any more convenient. Union Square is a busy place, a major shopping district near to tiffanys, lush,... More

First, a comment about the street noise mentioned in some of the previous reviews. The hotel has recently replaced the windows in front with triple-pane glass. We stayed in room 203 for 7 nights. Second floor, overlooking bustling Powell Street. Noise was absolutely NO PROBLEM for us, with the windows closed. You could hear the cable cars as they went... More

If our room, very small, was a typical room for a couple, I would say this is a hotel for the business person or overnighter, not the oversea tourist with lots of luggage, we are travelling for nearly 2 months. The decor was very nice and clean but the overall emphasis was on trendy and smart rather than comfortable and... More

You cant beat the location if your gunna be in union square area. The rooms are small but clean. I stayed in a room facing the street and it was cool to hear the trolly and the hustle of the street. They had some wine down stairs if your into that

Staffs are friendly and helpful. Location is good as well, with lots of shopping and eateries nearby. The Thai joint beside is good! Despite it's along a busy street, the rooms are not noisy. The only thing I didn't like was... The room is really tiny, It's either a walk way or your bag. Imagine 2 person sharing the room,... More

I stayed at the Hotel Union Square a couple weeks ago on a business trip and can say I really enjoyed it. The rates were reasonable for the location and the location was phenomenal for anyone attending a conference at the Moscone Center (an 8 min walk). On top of that, there's nothing cooler than walking out the door in... More

The hotel is comfortable, even though the room is not big! The location is the best in SF, it was very easy for me to get around using the cable cart , BART, and F train. Get shopping district! My only complain was that is was very noisy outside so i found it hard myself waking up earlier then desired.... More

Dear Valued Guest-Thank you so much for taking the time to post your review on Trip Advisor. We sincerely regret that the room assigned to you was smaller than you expected, but we also have many larger rooms including a great assortment of suites. As for the street noise I found out that there was from the temporally construction project... More
