Little bit loud and hot but overall I'd stay again
Well the hotel was pretty cute. Very historic and i really liked how big the room was. There was no air conditioning which was kinda tough. It got hot in that room. If it was mid summer i wouldn't of made it in there. Theres no staff at the actual hotel. Check in is across the street. Its in the tenderloin district and very very loud at night. So if youre a soft sleeper i wouldnt stay here. Theres a walgreens and starbucks next store. Easy to walk to everything. Overall it wasnt fancy at all but i really enjoyed it and it was great for the price.

Location and Service- Not much more.
Scratchy towels, no AC and slow Wifi. Luckily the weather is good in October so we immediately opened the windows to get some air. The bed is awful! We could feel all of the springs. And the toilet was broken. We had to keep fixing the plug to get it to flush. However the girls at checkin were great! Customer service and location makes this hotel. Also the bottles of soap and shampoo were watered down. One bottle was broken. Just a lot of little things could have made this place better.

From the warm welcome at check-in to the excellent service throughout my stay, everything exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail made my stay very enjoyable.
I look forward to returning in the future and will certainly recommend your hotel to others.
Thank you once again for your hospitality.

Cozy, comfortable, well worth the stay!
Convenient location to many popular venues within San Francisco, as well as the transit system. Inviting environment, comfortable & clean room, & friendly staff.

The Herbert is centrally located and perfect for those who are going to spend most of their time exploring San Francisco downtown. However, even thought the facilities are clean, they are minimal so be prepared. For example, we only had 1 chair in our room even though it was for double occupancy.

A good option for a relatively affordable stay in San Francisco, in a great location for walkable shops, bars, and restaurants, and to access the transport network. Reasonably quiet in the room considering the location. Let down a bit by poor cleaning in the bathroom, and lack of air conditioning.

Very basic place but for the price and location, very usable and worth it. No extras besides the bed, towels, and a hairdryer but would stay again for a short time
