Aida Plaza Hotel

In the middle of it . Nice staff. Tiny rooms

Its an antique hotel, established in 1912 with some vintage feel. Friendship and helpful counter staff. Feels extremely safe. Centrally located, near to everything, shopping places and the Union square. Tram station is 5min walk from the hotel and numerous good eateries around the hotel. Value for money.

It was really close to the station. It was a little bit cold in the room because there is no airconditioner.

The Aida Plaza is an Old-Style Traditional Hotel in the heart of Downtown San Francisco. That Area of Market has become increasingly scuzzy over recent years, and I know that many people are put off by the numbers of homeless people near to the entrance (although none came near to the actual hotel entrance during my week there). Once you put that out of your mind, the Aida is a good basic option for the city - and very good for the price that I paid! The room was large, very clean, and the bathroom, lights, tv etc all worked perfectly. The room that I was in (505) was quiet and I got good night's sleep. The internet was easy to connect to and fast. The staff were friendly, and quickly got to know my room number (you hand your key to them when exiting the hotel). They must have a hard job as they have to open the front door for each guest entering (the front door is kept locked). I had no difficulty gaining entry to the Hotel no matter what time I arrived back after a day/night out. Bad points - no tea/coffee facilities in the rooms, which would be a plus, or room service, but I wasn't expecting this. I also liked the "faded glory" and overall feel of the communal areas. The lift/elevator also worked throughout my stay. Overall, i was pleasantly surprised.

The hotel is very nice. Front desk is friendly and room is nice. My only complaint is more about outside. Market street is super loud at night so it’s hard to sleep. Parking is also kinda hard so be prepared to move your car or possibly park in a garage.

Area is little off the downtown towards more homeless. The place is an old and rundown place. Ensure you ask for a room with bathroom, few rooms are with shared bathrooms. Step outside of the hotel, ensure you are not flasy, lots of homeless people living around the area.

I had a very weird experience at this place. I stayed here only due to an emergency and I was overcharged for two nights, the heat did not work so I was freezing the whole time, the TV was broken and the internet never connected. While speaking with the front desk staff I noticed a bad attitude and felt very uncomfortable. The woman at the front desk only speaks Spanish and she seems to think that she owns the place. Very bad experience overall and not recommended.

I did stay at this hotel in July 2019 and at their regularly posted rates, they are clean and a good value for the rates charged. I booked a confirmed room for $110 a night on Agoda on June 13, 2023 for three nights. Around July 15, the Aida Plaza informed me that the rate was too low and since my dates of September 20-23 was high seasons. They demanded $190 per night take it or leave it. This was a 72 percent increase on a confirmed reservation! I left it and found a much better deal closer to Downtown SF. Message is: be very careful booking this hotel. They do not honor the rates they confirm to you. Perhaps they have small print that they can make these capricious pricing changes. If so, they are an outlier!
