Castle Inn

Clean room and very close to everything we wanted to see in SF. We would stay here again for sure. Parking is a bit tight but it’s in the city so expected. Great property especially for the price.

Unfortunately Ice machine broken, but nice, quiet area makes it a good choice. Very basic expectations.

Very clean and comfortable. Recently refurbished to a good standard. Furniture, fixtures and appliances in good order. Helpful staff. Would stay again. Good location for sites and good car parking.

Bad staff, no air conditioning, room smelled bad. Everything just bad

Very good

Exceptional

The location for us was great for all the things we wanted to do. However the hotel itself really needs to be upgraded. Carpet is old and stained. The mini fridge is old, coffee provided was ok but the pot was old and there was no sugar or creamer provided. Online pics are not as accurate as in person.

Room was clean. Housekeeping came every day! Beds were comfy! Staff was very nice. Very impressed. Would stay here again! Great location and free parking.

For jist one night was ok

Very good location, free parking, room with 2 comfortable beds, good shower and spacious room. Cleaning as well 10/10. NA

This place is great I would recommend it to anyone!!

Friendly, helpful and kind! Parking!!!

This hotel is amazing. I have been staying here for a while and it has always been a pleasant experience. The rooms are always clean and taken care of. The on site parking is a huge plus especially in SF. The staff is also amazing. Book here, you wont regret it. I would also like to add that there is plenty stuff at walking distance to get a meal and a store to purchase souvenirs just a couple blocks away. N/A

Room was super clean, staff was super friendly. Has convenient parking and a great location to all sorts of things!

Passable

Overall it was a great location and I would stay again.

A spacious room in a safe location that was quiet even though close to busy streets. Plenty of restaurants nearby and most things are within walking distance if you are happy to walk 30-40 mins to the bay front. The room was private and the bed comfortable. It was very clean with room service each day and I would recommend it as a great value for money room. Parking is free and onsite and under cover. There is a lift to the rooms if you need. There is a coffee maker but personally I would have appreciated a kettle to make tea. Nothing I didn't like.

The room was excellent, freshly remodeled, clean, very well equipped, and quiet. The exterior parts of the hotel (lobby, elevator) are a bit antiquated. Neighborhood felt safe to me. Overall, I felt like it was a great deal for the price, and my wife and I will be staying there again.

Great location, friendly staff, I have stayed here every time I have visited San Francisco since 2011.

The room was clean and comfortable. While the free parking was nice, the tightness of it was not good.

I found the rooms to be sufficient. It was located in a convenient, walkable area. There wasn't as much parking as I think was needed, but I still think way better than what you would get at other hotels. 10/10 would come back here

Second stay at this hotel and it is the best value I’ve found in San Francisco!!

The place is clean . The front desk is very helpful especially with the parking . I don’t have any problems at all . I highly recommend this place

Great location with free parking (with in and out privileges) makes this a useful option depending on your needs.

My second time staying at Castle inn, about 3 years apart. I noticed some new updates in the rooms, it was nice. The gentleman who checked me in was the same as 3 years ago, very friendly. Parking is easy, room is large and clean. I will stay again.

Included free parking is rare in San Francisco and Castle Inn offers that. The parking lot entrances are narrow. It is on the same level as the office about a half story up from the street. The upper parking lot entered from the right side of the property is slightly wider and 7 foot clearance. The lot itself is small and difficult to turn around in. It was doable. Trying to enter with the driveway partially blocked by a car stopped in Broadway damaged my mirror. The lower parking lot entrance on the left side of the property is even narrower. It parks below the office level about half level sunken underground. Its height limit is 6’5”. I did not attempt it with my F-150 (4x4 stock height) The room was clean and looked to have been updated within the last few years. The multiplug under the TV on the desk was not working. The TV and cable box utilized the plugs under the desk. There is a great deli/convenience store one block east and one block south on the same block as the Castle Inn called Cheese Plus. The store prices were high, but sandwiches were reasonable for San Francisco prices.

Nice very clean hotel, easy parking. Man at the counter was super helpfull and nice, a nice bar down the street great experience.

Honestly... this is a hidden gem. In the heart of the city. Easy to get to anywhere you'd want to go. No frills kind of property. But that's what makes it great to me. Great price and parking to boot. Would definitely stay here again!

Everything they said in the reviews was pretty accurate. Rooms were a pleasant surprise. Very clean with a modern flare. Vintage elevator gets you up and down. Parking was pretty squirrelly but manageable. Close to everything. Front desk was very nice, and the guy had a matter of fact attitude which I appreciated. I would stay at this hidden gem again.

Smooth check in and really loved the location. It’s a quick waymo ride from the hotel to most tourist locations. The room was always clean and we got a ton of sleep.

The location was good, the property was clean and updated. The people above us woke us up early with little kids running around. The carpet in the room could be updated.

Ok

The property is clean, well-maintained, and felt safe, which was important for me traveling with a motorcycle. Parking was convenient and gave me peace of mind. Overall, a great option if you’re looking for a solid, no-frills stay with strong value. It was a bit noisy at times, but nothing that took away from the overall stay

Location is very good. Good value.

Great area, centrally located. Felt safe. Room could use a makeover but found it clean and spacious. Fast wifi. Appreciate the microwave, fridge, hair dryer and iron in the room. Would stay again.

Pleasant

For some reason we couldnt get any volume on the tv but we decided not to useit rather than have someone try to fix it for us. I would stay there again fir the convenience and price, but not for a special occasion. We just live across the Bay, and wanted some place to stay so we didnt have to drive across the bridge at night to get home Fit the bill just fine.

There was a hole in our hotel room wall, the door also didn’t shut properly and the staff who cleaned our room left the door open, the toilet also would not flush took us 2-4 times flushing for it to finally go down, several drawers had water damage our car along with several others was also broken into in the parking lot

Close to many restaurants There was no hair conditioner! This was big problem to meet people.

The man at the front desk was super friendly and very helpful. Room was nice and spacious. The hotel is in a great location, we were able to walk majority of our trip. Felt safe parking my car there however if having to park in parking garage there’s few spots and it’s really tight. The free parking sold me on this property and I’m really glad with the choice. Can’t beat the price! Will be coming back.

Have stayed here before, and we like the location. Free parking is definitely a plus. When checking in, the credit card must have a chip, which was an easy fix for us but may not be for others. The room was clean and quiet but lacking table space. There is more than enough room to add a small table (We stayed in room 338). As eating in bed is not our thing, the writing desk sits directly under the TV, in an odd place for a meal in the room. I called for extra pillows after a knee injury for elevation and was told they didn't have any, even though the sign said to call for extra towels, blankets, etc. Also, the ice machine was empty 3 of the 4 times we attempted to use it. My partner loved the bed; I found it to be too squishy this time compared to last. Good location, quiet and clean, but could use a bit more attention to amenities.

We had a lovely stay! Everything was clean, parking was very accommodating and the staff were very helpful!! Right in the middle of everything this spot is a gem and price can’t be beat! We’ll definitely be back!

Cuartos limpios, el acceso al estacionamiento es complicado y es muy pequeño, excelente ubicación

Hidden gem. Great location, easily accessible to Muni. Room was furnished with a fridge, microwave and coffeemaker. Lots of outlets to plug in and charge devices. Quiet, yet steps away from all that the City offers.

Central location, very walkable to what my brother and I needed. Many restaurants and coffee shops close by. Although off a main street, the hotel rooms sit back away from the traffic in a kind of alley way and the room was amazingly quiet at night. Very big queen beeds, high off the ground so might be a bit of a jump for kids or less mobile adults but we had no problem. Great water pressure and hot water. Coffee maker in the room, no breakfast served but that's fine and was not expected. Front desk person was very kind and efficient. Room had a microwave and a large mini fridge with freezer compartment. Our stay was great! The ice machine was broken. Not the property manager's fault, he had it repaired a day or so before, and it broke again. Owner may consider replacing or having a second machine on another level. It is hard to buy and carry around bags of ice in the city, and I like very cold drinks.

It’s just great to have free parking with your room. Great location for restaurants and shopping.

Great location with free parking! Easy access to public transportation. Quiet room.

Great location! Parking spot was narrow but worked for our needs. Room was very basic but clean and well maintained.

Seriously could not ask for anything better. Friendly staff, very clean, right in a prime area of SF. 1000% would recommend and go again.

Very small parking spaces. Beds were just okay and the bathroom was not the cleanest. Just okay.

Air conditioning worked well and the shower had the best water pressure I’ve ever experienced in a hotel. One ice machine for the entire hotel and it was broke. Weather was in the upper 80’s which is extremely warm for San Francisco and the ice machine didn’t work the entire time we were there. (4 days). Location is good. Not a bad part of town, and accessible to a lot of tourists attractions. So I guess for the money, it wasn’t horrible.

Business friendly

The price we paid we knew we were getting a very basic older hotel and we were good with that. The room was clean, lighting for putting on make up was good, A/C worked, staff at the front desk was very helpful on mapping out the city and getting us into our room. The location was great and safe. We walked everywhere. This was our first time to San Francisco and if we go back I would book here again. The reason I gave 4 stars is the bed was super soft and the pillows were flat and I prefer a firmer mattress.

This is my favorite hotel to stay when visiting SF. Good area, comfortable beds and parking.

Castle Inn had a great location. Our family loves to walk and we could walk everywhere! 5 blocks away is the cities best park for kids... it's called Lafayette Playground, and you have to check it out. There's an Acai bowl smoothie shop a block away, as well as a Birite grocery store. We walked over to China Town and North Beach. We even walked to the Exploratorium. A few times we did get tired and took a short bus ride or took the Cable Cars. It was lovely. And amazingly, this little hotel goes back away from the street. So, while there's a little city noise, there's really not much since the bulk of the rooms are tucked back. The only thing that was a little off putting was the loud AC. But I was glad to have it for the one weirdly hot March week we were there. Most times you may not even need it.

Well kept Inn Very convenient area

Always stay here

everything went well! Check in was easy, the location was more quiet than we expected, location was close to everything we needed.

We're a frequent visitor. Always Exceptional! Staff is welcoming. Great location to UPMC Sutter Medical. Parking is included and safe. Highly recommend!

For motorists seeking easy in-and-out access along the Hwy. 101 Business Route snaking through San Francisco between the Bayshore Freeway and the Golden Gate Bridge, the Castle Inn is an excellent choice. Likewise, it is close to the Marina District, Cow Hollow, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Presidio. The facility offers free on-site parking, quiet, clean, spacious rooms, and comfortable beds. I was very pleased with the establishment.

Check in agent at the desk was great. The room was not in good shape, though. It was clean, but it had a broken TV (no sound), broken phone, and broken fixtures in the bathroom. When I went to the front desk to report the issues, the door to the check in area was locked and no one was there. I decided to just get on with my weekend.

Walking distance to great local foods and sites to see. Would stay there again on future visits

Overall, a pleasant stay. While they have made attempts to upgrade the property the old "motor inn" can still be seen. The carpet was really old and stained and the furniture was also pretty antiquated. That being said, the room was clean and some modernity could be found in an upgraded bathroom and bed and fresh paint on the walls. Staff was extremely friendly and free, secure parking near fishermans warf is very hard to find. For the price I would certainly recommend this motel.

Nice experience. It’s a basic/ typical room nothing fancy, no spectacular views, etc… however the room, the building & location were all clean and safe! Also, a good option If you’re looking for a quiet room to relax & sleep but not far from nice cafes/ restaurants, bars, shops, etc.

Nice property near corner of Van Ness and Broadway. Very nice rooms but walls are a little thin. Group next door on Saturday were very noisy and could hear their conversation easily. Instant hot water which was a nice bonus! Parking is a little tight but loved that it was free! Don't see that often in SF. Has an elevator which was great also. Located near a lot of food and market options on Polk and Van Ness. Great location will stay here again. We had Brazilian the first night and House of Prime Rib the 2nd! Both were exceptional and withing easy walking distance... Used Waymo to travel to the wharf cost for round trip was about the same as parking so a wash either way.

Hidden GEM in San Francisco. I live on the road a quarter of the year and mostly stay in Marriotts but sometimes I stay in budget rooms so I can pocket a little of that per diem. This is by far the best budget place I have ever stayed at. Convenient, safe, parking. Clean room, comfortable bed and nice shower. Centrally located and close to public transport.

The only small issue I found was that the heater is quite noisy, so in winter could be a bit annoying at night. Everything else was great!

We got a call at 6pm to keep the noise down. It was our 13 yr old son, my husband and myself in the room not being rowdy or partying at all. Quiet time was listed from 9pm-9am. I dud not understand the need for a call but tried to keep our voices down. Which is a shame since the room was clean and everything else was great.

Great Location and Value for Money Stayed with kids , good safe neighborhood Easy Access to Restaurants and public transport

Clean room, perfect for a parking lot. Friendly and safe. 👍Thank you 💕💕💕😘

The room was clean. Appeared recently updated. Very comfortable bed. Older hotel, so bring earplugs. Room 314 has a busted ac/heating unit

The room needed an upgrade. Old, frayed carpet. Outdated TV. Just an overall older/rundown look to it. The car next to us in the upper parking was broken into- glass shattered. Bed was comfy though! Mini fridge was great. Free parking and location was good. Room was quiet.

Remodeled and clean Couldn't sleep at all. The AC unit is so old that it makes noises constantly throughout the night. Terrible.

Clean room, really kind staff, had everything we needed in the room

Castle Inn solved all expectations. Mine was far above an average stay. The room was comfortable and clean. A slight odor of disinfectant is my only complaint, but how much can I complain about that? Its presence is more assuring than its absence.

Good and decent for money It's okay

Exceptional. Great location. Room was very nice, clean. Will definitely return. Close to CPMC -Sutter Medical, walking distance. Highly recommend!

Clean room, fairly quiet. Great location.

Good staff

The property was updated, clean, quiet and overall a great stay.

Clean room. Nice to have frig, microwave, and blackout blinds. Street noise was intrusive, especially on Sat night - ask for room away from the street

Safe and clean and quiet area and hotel. Not luxury but works well as a stay in SF.

Good SF location, We had a slight problem with our shower water being too hot.

The property is at a great location in a safe and convenient neighbourhood. The free parking is a huge plus! Check in close at 11:00pm. We made it just in time.

Their parking spot is a life-saving, considering their central location in the heart of the San Francisco.

Average shopping options

Awesome place to stay right in the middle of everything. Staff were great, room was clean, free parking which in huge in San Francisco I would definitely stay there again. It would be my first choice.

Room was spacious & clean with onsite free under or above ground on site parking. The check-in guy was friendly & helpful. Hotel was in a great location within walking distance of Fisherman’s Wharf and Chinatown etc. etc. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Access to all the transportation, including cable car ride!

clean room, easy parking, loads of dining options and shops nearby

There are numerous places to eat and shop within walking distance. Parked our car when we arrived and didn't use it again until we left.

Room was very clean. Housekeeping staff was friendly. Property was quite old and in need of remodel and repairs. Located in a rough neighborhood, but well-positioned between other areas and landmarks

Best Best king size bed. I've ever slept

Basic but ok. Handy parking. Helpful receptionist. Rooms dated but was cheaper than alternatives so acceptable. Had fridge, coffee maker and microwave but no crockery or kettle.

This is my 2nd time staying at the Castle Inn. It’s my go-to hotel whenever I’m visiting SF because it’s affordable and closeby to a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, bus stops, etc. The area it’s in is pretty quiet for the most part and very safe and clean! Will continue to keep booking at this place for my future trips to SF!

A decent motel in a fairly central location that won't hit you hard in the wallet. 5 minute walk to cable car stop that will take you to Pier 39 and financial/shopping district. Plenty of grocery shops and food & drink around the motel.

Customer service was amazing! The employee was very kind and accommodating. The hotel itself was good for what you’re paying for and parking is included; where many hotels in the area do not have parking included. However parking is tiny so try not to bring your biggest vehicle! Tight spots and tight turn around spots and if there are no vacancies then there are no extra spots. The room and amenities were good for just resting your head at night and a hot shower. Beds were comfortable, water pressure was great and heated up quickly. The only downfall is we had horrible neighbors and walls are paper thin. We could hear the drunks outside our door at 3:00 am extremely loud and then continued to hear them throwing up through the walls all night. We were just unlucky but the hotel itself was perfect for a quick stay with good and friendly service and comfortable beds.

I like the location. Very quiet and walkable to many attractions. Hotel is very clean. Staff very polite and even let us leave the car after check out for a few hours extra.

Room clean and had lovely scent. Plenty of towels. Building older but well maintained. Had bit of trouble getting help on the phone and getting help after check in. The area is amazing

Very close to everything.

Convenient location to Waymo to Fishermans Wharf. Convenient parking. We had a quiet room towards the back of the hotel. Only trouble was that air conditioner leaked on the rug, making a wet, dirty mess.

Hotel had free parking. Restaurants nearby, nice neighborhood. I was checked in by Damon, he was very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

We used ride share for Pier and left the car in the garage. My son stayed a few months ago and walked to the Pier. He's in good shape. Free parking here is a plus. Hotel is good condition for its age. If you like walking and local vibe this is good choice.

Place and room is clean and good, service was friendly and okay but what is annoying is the noise level. I was in room 116, 3rd room from back end of the bldg but street noise is unbearable with window shut and AC on. Ear plug helped some until people above and around the room stomp, drop stuff and slam doors. If you prefer quiet place to rest, this is not the motel for you. I wish they did show the noise level as part of the rating

Room was clean , lotsa shampoo , no cream rinse . Only one pack of coffee. Good parking , fast check in

I always look for a SF hotel where parking isn't an expensive hassle. This filled the bill. Near my appointment, cool neighborhood to explore, wonderful front desk.

Location was great and friendly service

Parking was tight. Elevator was wonky.

Very basic hotel. Not a room you want to stay in other than for sleeping. Old and damp carpet, needed to blast air condition to overcome the smell despite it being a cold day. There is free parking which is a great advantage and it’s very close to Polk Street with its restaurants. The staff were very kind and it was easy to check in. I would recommend it if you’re really just looking for a place to sleep not to stay in and enjoy.

I always stay here when visiting SF - top place and highly recommended!

It was an accomodation good for the price. The rooms were clean and spacious too. Free car parking is a plus! The location was safe and convenient as well.

Overall, I recommend this hotel for basic comfort, location and reasonable price.

Natalie was the hotel super modern and very inviting, the room was very clean, the location was great, and the parking was easy. What really pushed our stay over the top and made it truly spectacular was the customer service given to us by Damon at the front desk! He was the best! We can’t see enough wonderful things about him and the help he offered us. We would absolutely recommend this property and we plan to stay here again the next time we’re in town.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly. And there are some good dining options within walking distance. Along with a Walgreens and coffee options. The parking was tight, as in you need to be able to maneuver i and out of the spaces. Though, it is free. Which is hard to find in San Francisco.

With screaming and physical fights during the entire night between the people in the room above pounding the ceiling over our heads we had no chance to rest at all before having to get up for our meeting the next morning. The violence became so bad that we were afraid for our safety. I don’t know how this place has racked up a 9.2 rating. However they managed it, it’s a scam. Aside from being disappointed with the hotel, I am also extremely disappointed with hotels.com for offering this type of place on their platform. I’ve been a loyal customer for years but after this experience I am not sure if I can trust hotels.come anymore.

Location, location, location! Free parking was the big sell! Walking to major attractions was only twenty minutes away.

Good to stay.

easy checkin, good location. clean room,

I thought a hotel with this many reviews and still a high rating would be a good option, but it did not meet expectations. The building is just run down. Carpets were old and torn in some areas. There was black mold in the window AC vents. Room was small without much night-stand space. Parking was very tight. When I brought the black mold issue to reception for their awareness, they tried to accommodate. He offered to move us to a different room (which had the same problem) or to give me $30 to not write a bad review! (I didn't take it, of course!) To be fair, if you're looking for a room in SF walking distance to the wharf for under $200 a night, this might be as good as you can get. I can't imagine what it takes to upkeep a building in that city. We didn't see any homeless in that area of the city, and were able to walk to Ghirardelli Square.

Overall the stay was great, our room was very clean but the room itself was dated. The beds were comfy and clean, it smelt a bit musty like there is no air flow in the room and the shower knob needed replacing, it took forever for us to get warm water as the knob would just spin around, however for a quick stay we were happy overall. Staff was friendly, love that they accommodated us in the late evening and we were able to keep our car overnight and into the next day free while we explored San Francisco. Great location, close to bus stops and lots of food options within walking distance.

Great location, plenty of good food options nearby

the value for the place is really just incredible. A super reasonable price for a really solid hotel. It’s definitely not a 5 star hotel but it’s easily a top option at its price point. Free parking was also a huge luxury coming from someone who drove into the city. There’s some really great restaurants and bars nearby, plus it’s close to Hot Cookie and Bob’s Donuts if you have a sweet tooth like me. This is definitely a place i’ll be returning to when the time comes.

Saw reviews about the outside noise and they were correct but for the price I cannot complain. Close to the bars and bus stops and a lot of restaurants are withing walking distance. Free parking is a plus is SF. Would definitely stay here again.

Good location, free parking, clean and quiet hotel

Excellent location and free garage parking.

Nice little hotel with enough parking, clean and great locatio and great costumer service, the guy in the front desk gives you directions and recommendations

Nice area and easy parking.

Clean & comfortable room at an amazing price. Will definitely stay here again the next time im in the area

Everyone was very nice who worked there. The room was a bit run down but that didn’t matter to me because it was clean! The water pressure in the shower was amazing. The toom was more than sufficient for the good price.

Friendly staff! Damien welcomed us and gave us a map of things to do during our stay. He was kind enough to let us know what areas were not safe to be in. The room was very clean and we felt safe during our stay. Parking was superb! Highly recommend them! Our room was cleaned daily!! Super plus!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The carpet was pretty old and needs to be updated, but that’s the only con. Good location, we loved the free parking (but it’s tight to get in). Would stay here again! Great value!

3 visits and all awesome!

Second time staying at the Castle Inn. While dated, it’s still maintained well, comfortable, and clean. Bathrooms are upgraded, too. You can’t beat the price for the location. I’ll definitely stay there again next time I’m in SF.

Pretty decent experience overall. It definitely felt like an average motel - cheap linens, limited toiletries (only soap and shampoo), mediocre bed, etc. But the location was convenient and felt safe, albeit loud. Most pleasant surprise was actually the blackout curtains! They did an excellent job keeping all light out of the room.

Went for a family trip, super close to everything, our check in host was super friendly and helpful. Very clean inside

This was my second stay at Castle Inn. I chose it for its proximity to locations we wanted to visit. Parking is free which is a plus but very tight. Television was hit and miss.

This hotel was fine! The price was fair for what was included, and we liked that a parking space was provided. This hotel is in a safe area that felt more like a neighborhood rather than a tourist spot.

Well located, safe feeling

Castle Inn was clean, quiet, and comfortable, in walking distance to Pier 39, etc. We thought it was a great value too - parking being included was a huge bonus!

Good location, with convenient and free parking included. Large room, quiet at night despite being central. Our room had a congregation of flies inside and out, and had a strong smell of cleaning product. Ok for a few days.

Was able to check in late. Easy process. Clean room.

In the room: no working phone to call the front desk, no drinking glasses, no coffee cups, poor pillows, beds extremely soft, no working tub or shower as water barely came out. Bugs in the tub! Not for us!

Could walk to most places from here.

This was one of the nicest inexpensive places I have stayed at in San Francisco.

Ideal stay in a good location in SF. Room was a decent size, with soft comfortable beds, a refrigerator and microwave and free, safe parking. A small property and quite quiet. Very easy to walk to the sights, but handy for local transportation if you prefer not to walk!

The check-in was wonderful. I received a nice big, clean room with everything I needed for four dsys including a refrigerator and microwave. The staff is so friendly and let me store my suitcase even after checkout.

Nice beds and clean room. Curious about thwir decision to have automatic lights in the bathroom. Wakes up rest of room in the night.

Excellent location and friendly staff

Always staying at the Castle Inn when I am in San Francisco - will come back soon - highly recommended!

Great location, very close to nice food venues and shops. The kids had a great time and the location felt very safe despite some of the reviews we never experienced anything negative walking around all day and the early evening. The room is very comfortable and the staff made the beds every day. Would stay again.

Comfy

The Castle Inn is in a good location, close to some very good restaurants, cable car stop and small market. The bed was comfortable and the water hot. The TV didn’t work so Reception gave us a note on how to fix it, the note didn’t help. Staff then came and couldn’t fix it. Turns out the batteries in the remote were flat. We could walk to Fisherman’s Wharf or take a taxi for US$7. The Inn is in need of an update but that being said it filled the needs of our 3 night stay.

Everything you could expect for a hotel they exceeded the room was spotless updated it was quiet the water pressure was amazing it was centrally located to everything we wanted to do in San Francisco and I will definitely be staying there again

I am a frequent guest to the Castle Inn. It is at a great location for me when I came to visit my relatives in San Francisco. The stuff are very friendly and helpful.

We were exactly located at park garage. There is not lobby or restaurant or any amenities. It's very difficult todescribe the place. Very unsafe. Never see any body at the poor lobby.

Castle in is located in a safe and convenient neighborhood, with lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. The neighborhood is walkable. The rooms are clean and have everything you need there. Parking is included with the stay, though the parking lot is small so best for smaller vehicles.

The staff was very helpful

A fair price with this quality! Recommend

On site parking

The blackout shades were great.

Beds ok convenient to stay at showers amazing parking sucks.

Basic room, bed was great, water pressure in shower was great, good amenities included in room (coffee, hair care, iron and ironing board). The location is good for public transport to all parts of the city you may want to see.

This hotel is in an excellent location. Close to pier 39, a lot of dining options, bus stops, and downtown. The parking was free and very safe. Highly recommend!

Clean rooms and centrally located

I would stay here the next time I'm in San Franisco.

Wish we could have stayed longer! Can’t beat the price and free parking with what seems to be a good security system. The bed was so comfortable. Shower was hot and good pressure. Spacious room which was not the nicest but very very decent, but you aren’t gonna stay here if you are looking for 5 star hotel. It’s definitely a 5 star motel! Awesome location too with so much within walking distance.

Best value for money

The stay was good. The only problem I had was with the parking lot. It was very small and hard to maneuver around.

Clean and modern rooms, safe and walkable area. Free parking.

Free parking, hotel was clean

I had a great experience at Castle Inn. The rooms were very clean and well-maintained, with daily housekeeping that kept everything fresh. Each room had a microwave, fridge, and reliable high-speed internet, which made my stay even more convenient. The property is located in a safe neighborhood, which added peace of mind. Overall, a solid and affordable choice—I’d definitely stay here again.

Would definitely recommend! Conveniently located to so many attractions that are walkable and if not, very near public transportation. Relatively quiet neighborhood and felt safe. Clean and comfortable, especially for the price!

Room was pretty clean, which was a plus. The parking is not great. The bathroom itself is very small, so if youxre a larger person, you might want to try somewhere else. Walls are paper thin. I would try staying somewhere else next time but id goce this an ovet all 7.5.

Good location...

A great place to stay in San Francisco. Easy walk to Fisherman’s wharf, lots of places to eat nearby. Would definitely stay there again

Castle Inn was safe, clean and economical. Our only complaint was a wet towel was left on the back of the bathroom door. Other than that the room was very clean, it was safe and had free parking.

Great location. Walked to points of interest.

great spot. would be walkable to any where if SF wasnt a collection of hills. cheap uber ride away from the wharf, china town, coit tower, and the coolest indie book store that will give you the eye if you ask for the hunger games....or any other "main stream" book.

The room was kept clean and the staff was driendly. Very goid service!

Satisfied beyond expectations

A little gem in the city! I'd keep this one to myself but it's too good not to share. Free parking in SF, ultra clean, a block from dining and stores, amazing shower, comfy beds. It is definitely for those who will spend most of the time sightseeing but still want a safe and comfortable place to recharge. It can be noisy but cities are noisy. If you're on a lower budget, stay here. Save money for experiencing the city.

Great location. Close to a variety of food options
