Castle Inn Reviews

The biggest plus here is the free parking, and considering the price, you can't really complain about anything else. The hotel has 4 or 5 floors, accessible by an old-fashioned elevator, which gives it a surprisingly charming, vintage feel. The front desk staff are rarely at the desk; you need to ring a bell to get their attention. The heating is old-school but powerful, while the AC looks like a portable air purifier. Across the street seems to be a Chinese nursing home; the residents there look exactly like elderly Chinese people you'd see in China – same clothes, demeanor, and expressions. They haven't assimilated at all, showing no 'Westernized' traits, which I found quite remarkable after all these years. Again, the facilities score is entirely thanks to the parking space. Oh, and another thing that stood out: the check-in took less than a minute. They processed everything, handed me the key, and even gave me local tips. It was easily the fastest check-in of my entire US trip.

It wouldn't be bad if two or more people were coming. I booked a king-size bed for 140,000 won. It's not super clean, but it's decent for the price.

This hotel is located just outside a one-kilometer tunnel from downtown San Francisco. Once you pass through the tunnel, you're in Chinatown, making it a quiet retreat nestled near the bustling area. There's ample parking, and a vintage elevator makes it easy to transport luggage. The surrounding area is safe, with a supermarket just 150 meters away offering fruits, vegetables, and daily necessities at reasonable prices. The hotel rooms are spacious, with separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom. The air conditioning can be a bit noisy, which is a common issue with motels in the US. While there are windows, they face the corridor, so it's practically like having no windows, but the AC provides good air circulation. The beds are large, the room is spacious, and the bathroom is huge with excellent shower pressure. It's very clean. The free parking is a huge plus. I'd definitely stay here again if I rent a car for my next trip. It was perfect for three of us, with two beds that are both 1.5 meters wide, though the beds are a bit high due to the thick mattresses.

I booked this hotel at the last minute because I was worried I wouldn't make it back to San Francisco in time. Since I also needed to return my rental car the next day, I looked for a hotel with free parking. To my surprise, it wasn't expensive, the facilities were quite good, and the service was okay. Excellent value for money! It's also not far from several attractions.

I’m booked hotel many time before. I very comfortable and like hotel. Location broadways it’s very close by downtown and China town. You can walk by Chinatown around 10 minutes and city hall like 1,5 miles. It’s ok, I will be back next time.

Free parking in the city center was a huge plus. The location is excellent, making it super easy to walk to attractions like Fisherman's Wharf and Lombard Street. There are also plenty of bus options nearby. The front desk staff was very welcoming; they gave us a map and highlighted must-see spots and areas to avoid. The room was clean, though not particularly spacious. Overall, it's a great value-for-money hotel option in the city.

Must be one of the safest areas in SF. Did not see or smell a single anomaly. Carpark not suitable for large SUVs, though we managed our Tahoe with literally hairsbreadths to spare, very grateful for the parks. Beds were comfortable. Lacking sound insulation but neighbors were not too bad. Cleaner trying to clean at 9.30am every morning. Has a microwave. I'd say this is an ok 3 star accommodation, or a very comfortable 2 star.

Quite convenient.

Good location. Free parking. Front desk clerks are helpful.

It’s ok for a short stay.

Very great hotel

Surprisingly convenient location with diverse shops, cafes and dinings Pretty close to anywhere places of interest Sometimes can hear street noise, AC a bit loud but working well ! Toiletries a bit disappointed, bathrooms is a bit tight, beware of the glass doors Rooms clean everyday and spacious Overall have a good stay here 😃

Good location. Great thing to have free parking as well. Bed was a bit lumpy, but no other complaints.

It was in a safe neighborhood in San Francisco. It is about 20 min walk to Lombard Street.
