King George Hotel

We stayed here on a Thursday in a deluxe king room (811). For $ 200 special we got a nice clean room with wifi in a convenient location, 2 breakfast vouchers and unlimited valet parking. The staff was also very courteous and our room had a nice partial view of downtown and a walk in closet! The bathroom was fairly sizable and in terms of noise you can hear doors slam in the hallway but that’s about it. Would definitely stay again!

We had an excellent stay this weekend at King George. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. It has a 1920 charm and is in a great location, short walk to the train and easy walking to shopping and restaurants. Was clean and comfortable.

I am in a hotel weekly. This is a horrible experience. Cold week, asked where the heat was, they didn’t turn on the boiler, actually they don’t unless someone complains. Two nights in a row. So it is the norm. What century is this? The noise all night long in the alley. Never again.

King George Hotel was definitely an upgrade compared to the previous hotel I stayed at during the first half of my time in SF.
At first we were going to settle for some obnoxious green ugly rooms, but found out that the «superior» rooms were less of an eyesore without a difference in price.
If you have kids or have media device of your own, the TVs come with USB ports, bluetooth, and an HDMI port. I didn’t use it, but it was definitely a nice feature to have.
The rooms were clean, smelled clean, and cozy. The biggest complaint I had about the hotel was the noise level. I can basically sleep through anything, but being located in a pretty busy area can make it hard to sleep. There were emergency sirens sounding off throughout the entire night, people yelling and cars honking. I highly advise you to close the window and turn the fan on at night, otherwise it’s just plain noisy.
I would recommend King George to anyone who may be on the fence. It’s conveniently located around plenty of 24 hour diners, a liquor store on the corner, and some other restaurants across the street.

Quaint, cozy, and centrally located. This is the perfect hotel if you’re looking for all these adjectives I described in my previous statement. Marcel at the hotel bar is awesome, very sweet and gave us all kinds of great places to go in the city.

a little small but does the trick.
charming and love the old décor…

We stayed here a couple of days for New Year’s eve, so consider that in my rating!
PROs:
— Very clean
— Friendly staff, they came to fix something even on the New Year night.
— Convenient location for a tourist. Walking distance to Union Sq, cable cars, etc.
CONs:
— Heating system uses steam radiators. These can be noisy if the radiator has water/​air build up. We had this issue, they provided an electrical heater though.
— Street noise: this is not the hotel’s fault as it’s next to a busy street. So you’ll probably need ear plugs. Consider it a tax over the location!
— Elevator: we could locate only 1 elevator, and it was shared for service and guests. Spiral stairs are a bit unusual compared to today’s standards.
— Small room: again, it’s a tax on the location (and the relatively cheaper price). Just be aware that rooms are not as big as a more traditional hotel.
All in all, we liked it. Just expect the above and it will be a fun stay! IMHO experience of staying there is very close to renting a SF apartment, while it’s pretty clean and well maintained.

I had trouble picking a hotel to stay in since it was my first time to San Fransisco. But I am very happy with the choice I made. This hotel has a very helpful and friendly staff, and the rooms are very clean. The rooms are a little small, but we it was perfect for our two night stay. I had read some reviews that said some people thought it was too noisy and they had trouble sleeping, but during my stay I didn’t experience any of that. I actually think it was a very nice, clean, cozy room. Very happy with this booking

Great hotel, great price, will definitely return!

Such a quaint hotel that is close to Union Square as well as restaurants and clubs. We used hotel tonight to book a room. The front desk was very friendly and our room was great! It was very clean, cute and comfortable. I would definitely recommend since the price is great for the quality!

Just did a 12 night stay at the hotel. Never again. Room next door to me which happend to be occupied by my co-​worker. Was «Infested by bed bugs». Besides that. Old hotel, windows do not keep the sound out at all. I probably had 2 nights of rest only because of heavy drinking that night. Zero Stars if I could rate it. Good Luck!

Last minute booking through Hotel Tonight app saved me $ 50 over every other app I tried. No view, I had a brick wall that went ²⁄₃ of the way up my window. No AC, but the open window on an early October night provided ample fresh air circulation. Room was tight, but tidy, with everything I needed, iron, flat screen TV, two charging stations, hot shower with great water pressure, and comfy bed. A steal in this neighborhood at $ 164 including tax on a Friday night.

My only regret is that I did not take photos of our beautiful room!
This hotel is absolutely fantastic; my boyfriend and I discovered it when hunting for a bargain on
, and found it to be the best value place when compared to ratings and reviews. I’m stoked to have found it, because we will be coming back every time we need to stay in San Francisco!
To start, the location was perfect for us. There is a parking garage located directly across from the hotel, which cost us $ 35 for about 24 hours. Right next to the hotel is a great little diner, where we enjoyed tasty late-​night burgers, beer & milkshakes and came back for a delicious brunch in the morning. Union Square and Moscone Center West are each within a 10 – 15 minutes’ walking distance from the hotel, along with plenty of other shops and restaurants to explore.
The hotel itself has a wonderful historic charm, but feels very laid-​back (not pompous or haughty). It was built in 1914, and has very clearly been well taken care of. Our room was bright, clean and beautiful, with a comfortable bed, great amenities and a Kuerig coffee maker. We were blown away when we walked in, since we’d unexpectedly been upgraded to a suite at no cost! What a great way to start a weekend.
Finally, the employees are very professional, courteous and friendly. JR checked us out, and gave us a coupon for the diner next door and wished us safe travels home. When we voiced our appreciation for being given a suite, he replied that he loves seeing the guests’ reactions to seeing their upgraded rooms.
All in all, I very highly recommend this hotel. If you want a safe, welcoming and comfortable stay at a fair price, and want to enjoy a little slice of San Francisco’s history, then book now; you’ll be happy you did. :)

This hotel is in the heart of downtown SF. The location is great if you want to experience the city life. The hotel itself is old and a bit outdated. They do their best to keep it up but unfortunately they need to try a bit harder. My room was small and a little dirty upon my inspection. We paid $ 324.88 plus $ 40 in parking. I was expecting much more for what we paid :-/​. workers are nice +.

Nice, clean Hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff especially the concierge, I believe his name was Damien. He gave us so many pointers and great tips on where to go. Conveniently located within walking distance to every thing Union Square and restaurants on every corner. The downside, which is no fault of staff, or hotel, was the noise. We were on the second floor and it was really loud (street noise) We stayed there at the end of August, low 70’s. No A/​C but windows opened (letting noise in) and we had a ceiling fan. I would stay there again, but request a room far away from Mason Ave.

Had a pleasant stay at King George. Stayed in the premium double twin room, but I’m not sure what made it «premium»? It was just a nice, clean, boutique type room. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was clean, staff was very, very helpful and nice. The location is good– near the Bart station, around the corner from the bus line (you don’t need a car in San Fran, we used public transportation for 4 days just fine). There are plenty of restaurants nearby. I’d stay again for sure!

Don’t bother with this place. The only upside is that it’s quaint. It has no amenities, it’s understaffed by people who don’t seem to know what they’re doing, the wifi is slow, their advertised partnership with a fitness center means you get to go to the hotel down the street and pay $ 25 for a workout, and their same day laundry service that’s guaranteed by 7pm doesn’t show up until between 8 and 9:30PM, and the rooms are tiny and stuffy. In short, they suck.
Further, when I booked this through Southwest, it showed be an $ 888 rate for four nights, and I was charged $ 1023, and they made no effort to fix that, either.
And by the way, this review is based on a 4-​night stay for a conference.

This is a real review for anyone that is actually going to stay here. Not me complaining about nonsense.
I booked the deluxe queen for 3 nights. Saturday-​Monday. It cost $ 436 through orbitz. I paid up front with no cancellation.
The hotel doesn’t offer free parking, almost no hotel does in San Francisco. It is $ 35 plus 14% tax. It cost $ 120 for 3 days. You have in and out privileges. But you will not need your car as long as you are in the city limits.
The location is great if you want to go shopping, bar hop and be centrally located. 1 block over is Gucci, Louis Vuitton and stores like that and 2 blocks in the opposite direction is tenderloin neighborhood. It’s where a lot of transients call home. And the street the hotel is located gets some wash over but the concierge makes sure that they don’t bother the guests.
The room doesn’t have a refrigerator. I took a 30 quart Coleman with me and used ice from the only ice machine on the ground floor. If you are flying in, go to the nearest 7 – 11 and get a disposable cooler.
The room was small and the ceiling was very low. I am 6’4 and I can touch the ceiling with my elbows almost bent 90 degrees. I will put up a picture of it. Quite funny. I kept smashing my hands into the ceiling every time I changed my shirt. There was no dresser or much closet space.
Bathroom was a good size. Well lit and two people can comfortable dress and wash up with out climbing over each other.
First floor is the only floor that gets air conditioning. Luckily I had a room with air conditioning. But the view suffers greatly. I’ll post a pic of that too.
The corner store is pretty much robbery. $ 4 for a 28 oz Gatorade? There are chain stores within walking distance. Buy from there. Walgreen, CVS etc
Overall I was happy with my stay. I would stay here again. I didn’t spend much time in the room. Just sleeping and washing up. It suited me just fine and it was a bargain.

Great location. However, the beds are uncomfortable and the room I got was extremely tiny. The bathroom even smaller. There was also trash behind the nightstand and bed. This hotel costs me over $ 400 plus tax for two nights! Not worth that much at all. Also, when I got on my floor it smelled like weed so not sure if the no smoking policy is enforced. I will not stay here again. It’s just not my type of hotel. No continental breakfast and the free wifi in the room doesn’t work. To note I did stay here when the Giants were playing in the World Series so I had to deal with inflated prices.

UPDATE: Der Pass wurde nun nach ca. 6 Wochen überraschend im Hotel aufgefunden und das Geld war auch noch da. Trotzdem ein Stern Abzug, weil die Situation extrem ärgerlich gehandhabt wurde und sowas überhaupt passiert.

While an old building, it harkens back to a bygone era. Since our last visit in December 2013, the place has been nicely resurfaced.
The smell of new carpet, paint and wallpaper was evident, but not unpleasant. I rather liked the look. Our room at the back of the 8^th floor was clean and the bathroom small but nice. I loved how comfortable the bed and pillows were. Slept great! True, there’s no AC unit in the room, but opening a window is quieter. No screen, but that’s fine as long as you don’t have kids.
Prices and taxes went up, and with parking, two days cost me $ 612. About $ 40 more than the first time. Oh well, probably stay outside city center and use MUNI more in the future.
They did have nifty $ 3 off coupons for Amoeba Records though! :-)
