San Francisco Hotels with Kitchens

"I have to say, the room and facilities were pretty good, and the location was decent too. However, one issue made me feel this hotel was a bit of a rip-off. I had previously booked a room through Trip.com for October 16th to 18th. At the time, it showed that in addition to the room rate, an extra 294 RMB (approximately $41 USD) would be charged upon arrival. But according to the receipt from the hotel, they actually charged $49.20 per night. I believe this is a case of the hotel not clearly disclosing fees and abusing its charging rights. What was even more frustrating was that when my son checked in on the evening of the 16th, he dined at the hotel restaurant. The hotel only informed him that he could spend $35 for free each day, but failed to clarify that this amount was not cumulative. This led him to mistakenly believe he could use a total of $70 over two days at once, resulting in him paying extra unnecessarily. I emailed the hotel's general email and the Hilton receipt email yesterday, but received no response. This afternoon, I raised the issue with Trip.com, and surprisingly, the compensation was refunded within an hour! I really have to commend Trip.com! From now on, I'll definitely stick with Trip.com for my travel arrangements – they're reliable, professional, and efficient!"

"I chose this youth hostel because it has a kitchen, a great location, and a good price. It's also not far from Chinatown, so I can easily buy Chinese groceries and cook my own meals. The room was decent, but there was some noise from the outdoor air conditioning unit. If you're a light sleeper, you'll definitely need earplugs."

"I had a super clean and spacious room, and the staff were really friendly. All the facilities, including the elevator, worked smoothly. The area felt safe, and I could walk to Super Duper Burger and Walgreens in 5－10 minutes. There were also plenty of good restaurants nearby. Public transportation made it easy to visit the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito, Pier 39, and the Ghirardelli Chocolate Experience. I felt much safer here than in the Union Square area. I didn’t rent a car, but the parking lot looked big and convenient. Considering how expensive San Francisco hotels are, the price was pretty reasonable. I’d definitely stay here again."

"Perfect for solo and business travelers. They leave you alone. It’s clean and quiet and extremely affordable. No pet fee, which is really nice. Option for self-service check-in/out. Free laundry machines, really great vending machines, fabulous Yemenese coffee shop across the street."

"We stayed in a deluxe city view room at Hilton Financial District—beautiful views and a warm welcome! The TV greeted us with a personalized “Welcome Cristopher,” which was a thoughtful touch. Staff were friendly and let us check in early. Great location near Chinatown, with amazing food—thanks to Denmark for recommending House of Nanking! Room was clean and well-priced."

"HI San Francisco Downtown Hostel is a fantastic budget-friendly option for travelers looking to stay in the heart of the city. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from Union Square, public transit, and major attractions like Chinatown and the Ferry Building. The hostel is clean, secure, and well-maintained, with both dormitory and private room options. Guests often praise the friendly staff, organized activities, and free or low-cost breakfast. The communal kitchen and lounge areas encourage social interaction, making it ideal for solo travelers. Overall, it’s a lively, comfortable, and convenient place to stay in San Francisco."

"Great place in a great location. Very close to Powell station for the BART, buses, trams and cable car. We also got great use out of the kitchenette on the second floor which came in very useful. The only downside was having to go to a different building to check-in. Not a big deal because it's just across the street, but always feels like a bigger issue when you've been carrying bags and looking forward to getting to your room!"

"Good location, close to the bart, but also sketchy, as many places in SF. The stuff is friendly, beds are clean. Minus the beds are steel so it makes a lot of noise when sb turning in the bed. For breakfast you have cereals but not oats, some coffee and tea, no milk, and waffles (bit to chewy) and some banana and yoghurt but with a lot of sugars in it. Sad that kitchen is closed after 10 or 11pm and there’s no other water fountain."

"The staff were very friendly and sincere. Breakfast was good because there were many types of bread. I heard the outside sound a little well, so it was noisy at night, but the location was satisfactory and it was not bad to stay for a short time."

"The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a 10-minute walk from Union Square. The building itself has a charming vintage facade, and the lobby is stylishly retro. My room was very spacious, featuring a separate, fully-equipped kitchen, which was incredibly convenient for preparing simple meals or reheating takeout. There's a small supermarket directly across the street that stocks fresh fruits and vegetables. The hotel provides a simple Western breakfast (bread, coffee, or tea) and complimentary wine and cookies in the afternoons. While you may encounter homeless individuals in the surrounding area, this is fairly typical for urban centers."
