Stayed here over New Year after seeing the hotel advertised in a guide book. I am so glad that we did. The staff on the front desk were very friendly and check in was efficient - just what we needed after an 11 hour flight.

The rooms are excellent. Large bed and bathroom and attractively decorated.

The guy on the bar the few nights before New Year was an asset to the hotel - friendly and never let the beer glass go empty.

Only thing that I would perhaps like to see is some snacks for sale in the bar, and perhaps a wider selection of drinks in the bar. These are only minor quibbles though.

Excellent location for Union Square.

Would not hesitate staying here again.

The King George is defintiely a step back in time. Very clean, super-friendly & helpful staff and a central Union Square location.....but i don't think I'll stay there again.
The rooms are very small....i can deal with this....but everything in the room feels old. (such as the furniture, curtains, bedspread and general amenities) There is no a/c in the rooms, just a ceiling fan. Had to sleep with the windows open for air and in SF the noise level can be VERY LOUD. Bring earplugs.
Had trouble turning off the heat our first night (think it was an old radiator) but they responded very quickly to help us out.
Anyway, it was extremely inexpensive and the bed was comfortable. Again, very clean. Personally, next time, I will spent another $30 bucks a night an get a more modern experience.

A friend and I stayed for four nights in this hotel, booked because she had a positive experience there in the past and we got a great rate. We changed rooms twice due to an issue with the heating pipes...beginning at about midnight, very loud clanging began sporadically for the next several hours. The staff tried to be helpful, but since the maintenance person wasn't working when the noise was happening (and they said no one else had complained...hard to believe), they didn't know how to fix it. They did take one night's charge off our bill. We heard more street noise in the third room, but that was to be expected given the hotel's great location in Union Square. The rooms were very clean, beds comfortable and water hot. The bathroom was tiny, but manageable. The front desk staff person offered to arrange my return shuttle to the airport when I checked in -- very helpful since I didn't have to remember to do it.

Came for a quick getaway. We got a great rate.A little weekend fun in the "City" The room was small but comfortable, the staff was friendly and the location was great! Will do it again. Bathroom could use a fan though as walls are a little thin.
