We arrived on 1 Feb 2023 after a 15-hour flight. My wife was feeling terribly unwell after such a long haul flight. What she needed was a hot shower and a good rest to recharge. However, we were early. We reached the hotel at 10am but official check in the was 3pm. I was thinking how my wife would be able to endure any longer waiting for our room. Upon check in, the front desk was so nice as to arrange our room immediately without even putting a request to him. Not only that, we were upgraded to a junior suite! The room is fantastic! The hotel location is superb. Right smack at the centre of Union Square and the Powell Hyde cable car line is just across the street. Thank you Handlery Union Square for making our stay at your property such a comfortable one.

What a little gem, ideally situated for a visit to San Francisco, very clean and lovely staff. But as what seems to have happened in many hotels there’s no restaurant for breakfast… we were given a 20% off voucher for a cafe round the corner but it was obviously very busy and you have to queue, but we didn’t have to wait to long for a table and the food was delicious

What a wonderful, traditional hotel in the heart of Union Square! A perfect end to our Cali road trip for our honeymoon. The hotel room was perfect, we informed the manager that we were on honeymoon and we’re welcomed by a room upgrade and a bottle of champagne. The room was lovely, very spacious. Great facilities and the most comfy bed we stayed in during our 3 week trip. The hotel is in a prime location and although it’s a walk from Pier33 you feel that you are in the traditional part of San Fran but safe.

Location is great. Central to everything in San Francisco. Rooms in the historic part of the hotel looked a little outdated and would benefit from a redecoration, but comfortable overall and clean. A good value for the money by San Francisco standards.

In these times of comparatively weak Euro it is relieving to find a hotel in downtown SF below 200$ per night... some of the rooms are quite small but mine was gigantic, and so was the bed. Quick check-in and check-out, no comparison with large (and more expensive) hotels were you have to queue after spending almost one day on the plane.... Things to improve: mainly the air heating, very noisy and uneven, parts of the room were tropics, parts North Pole (well, not really). Also, put some extra heating boost in the bathroom that was a little icy in the morning.
