Hotel North Beach

"This is an older no frills, budget hotel with shared baths. Some of the TVs are old. That said, it's quite clean. They clean the bathrooms all day long. The location is fantastic in North Beach and Chinatown.. All of my favorite spots are right here: Vesuvios, Mr. Bings, The Saloon, Café Trieste, Golden Boy Pizza, a Safeway down the street and Coit Tower. Great value for the budget traveler. I stay here often."

"This hotel definitely deserves more stars. Very clean. I enjoyed it. Great laundry great bathroom!"

"Not safe, anyone can walk in w/ this staff! Cockroach hotel w/ crackhead, schizophrenic tenants! No private bathrooms at all, it's disgusting& dirty. Pull the bed away, you'll see. It's staff is completely useless, I was yelled at for complaining about the mental case neighbor that was totally disruptive! I'm not one for leaving a bad review if I can avoid it but this is 100% a flop house that's being kept alive by paying customers! Nice going Janice , you should been fired long ago!"

"If you are in San Francisco for vacation, few more low cost hotels in 5 mins walking distance from Hotel North Beach, don’t let this hotel ruin your journey. 1) I was first arranged a room with more than 10 roaches, few in the sink, then on floor and on wardrobe door, I did not count how many, left h the room in 3 seconds. 2) the 2nd room is better, but I still killed 1 roach a day. 3) internet is not stable, discounted for 2 hours on a day, and on and off discounted for short while. 4) stain on bed 5) it’s right above a bar, noisy on Fri and Sat night. 6) the front desk staff called Heidi had the worst service that I have experienced. She is serving me but could not find a solve for a problem, she then move to serve the guy behind me in the queue without a solution for me, but you know what? That guy actually had the same problem as mine and Heidi again could not provide a solve for him. I told her I was in the queue and came before the other guy, she should serve me first, she answered “I’m busy!” Ha! What a service?!?!"

"I had a great time during my stay. I didn’t spend much time at the hotel as I was in San Francisco for business purposes, but it was a quiet place to sleep at the end of the day. The beds could be more comfortable, but my body got used to it after a couple of nights. If I had to complain about the hotel is that there are no bathrooms or showers in the rooms. You have to walk out into the hallway to use them, which can be annoying, but you get used to it after a day or two. Another thing is that they don’t have an iron in the rooms. I had to purchase one when I arrived at San Francisco. The location was excellent for me as it was only a 10 minute walk from the financial district. There are many restaurants around the area so getting food was never an issue. Public transport is easy and accessible. I would recommend not to bring a car as traffic can get hectic and parking is quite expensive in San Francisco. Overall, I would stay again at this hotel. It is not perfect, but it’s not bad either and for the price it’s hard to complain."
