Loved the hotel!
The stay was amazing and it was convenient since it was by everything. I loved the bar downstairs and the people were friendly. Just the fire alarm was the issue but it was resolved in a timely manner.

4/10 Fair

With no on-site storage, if you have a late flight home and need to check out at 11am, nowhere to store your luggage. Our room was directly above the Bar that is open and has loitering outside by drunk/rowdy patrons until 3am. This should be disclosed by Hotel prior to booking room #201

Great location. Service could be better.
This is an unattended hotel, which is good, but when I asked for a toilet brush, I was told I could purchase one nearby.

6/10 Good

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Castro. The property is clean the decor is modern, the room size is on the smaller side but appropriate for urban setting. Have 3 stars for the following reasons: 1. Broken/none functioning lighting fixtures for premium price cost. (Do have a video to show). 2. Inconsistent hot water supply. Stayed on the 4th floor and the hot water was in and out.

Beautiful room and easy to check in and out. Right in the middle of all the fun stuff and easy to travel anywhere. We had a rental car and were entirely confused on where to park it overnight, but we managed.

2/10 Poor

Castro is great, but if you're doing anything but partying don't stay here. This is a loud party hotel with no staff - literally no staff - so don't expect any service whatsoever. This isn't hyperbole: the hotel operates on an app-based model with no front desk and no on-site staff. You check in via your phone. We asked for 2 extra blankets at 4pm, the person (probably overseas) who was responding told us to look in a cabinet on the first floor. No blankets there so that's it. Around 9pm we get another text response, "We can get you blankets tomorrow." There was a party on the floor above us - good for them, have fun. But of course we can't sleep. We left for another hotel around 11pm, had to fight to not get charged for the next several nights and still got charged for the night we had to leave. They want to make more money by having literally zero staff but hotels don't function with zero staff. This is a non-functional hotel.

Great location but its contactless entry and with many errors it took us 45 mins to gain access so the process was challenging
