Herbert Hotel

A truly iconic hotel to stay at. The property is well maintained and clean. While there is no concierge at the lobby, check in is at a hotel a block away. Located a block from Union Square, it makes it a very centric location. My only negative was the night commotions of the locals. Lots of shouting and noise. I had to close my window. Aside from that, I enjoyed my stay at Herbert Hotel.

Certainly it is very bare bones basic, as you must expect for a budget hotel and unless you pay more you need to use the shower and toilet down the hall, something which seems to have been lost on a lot of people reviewing the Herbert. It's also required to check in at the Stratford, which is half a block up Powell Street, which some find off-putting but it didn't bother me at all. I was on the 7th floor, it was very quiet, the bed was comfortable and I slept well. The location is about as central as you can get, the BART, F-Line and cable cars. I would not only stay here again but would recommend it to anyone who doesn't expect a chocolate on the pillow when staying at a hotel...

I didn’t like this hotel because this hotel is very hard to find a parking to park I was looking for a parking for 1 hours I almost get car crash. I don’t like this hotel that they doesn’t have bathrooms inside the room also the one near my room are so loud we can’t sleep for the whole night

It looked deserted but the sign said to go to a different hotel. I went there and it seemed normal so not an emergency thing. (Why is this not clear?) I got the keys but the outside key didn't work. The seemingly homeless man outside apparently had a key I could try and it worked. So I was staying in a hotel which had no staff or security that people in the street had access to... It was old, room wasn't cleaned, beds are old, but the location is amazing. If you don't mind the no staff and you sleep well anywhere, go for it... otherwise, no...

The hotel was updated about 10 years ago with nice decor. My room was very basic and in need of maintenance. There was a faint Chinese food odor but I couldn't identify the source. Main advantage was being close to downtown and the Moscone Center.

Easy location to lots of transport options.

The location was excellent! The room was clean and comfortable and quiet. I was not clear about what it meant that the bathroom was not in the room but down the hall. The in room coffee setup was incomplete. The antique heater was not working properly and no instructions were provided to operate it. We had to call to have the trash taken away.
