Book a hotel near Louise Davies Symphony Hall, Civic Center

"This hotel is central to everywhere we want to go in SF! Plus, we feel safe in this neighbourhood. We love the atmosphere at Union Square, and BART is close by for our trips out to the suburbs. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Our room was nice and clean, and our room requests were met 100%. We have stayed at the Handlery many times over the years, and will stay here again! Thank you!"

"The carpets were dirty, black mold in the showers, the mattresses were cheap and uncomfortable, the elevator is slow, small and usually occupied. Took the stairs to the 5th floor and down most of the time. Aside from that, its good place to stay for a night or two on a budget. Parking is secured in a gated lot next to the hotel for $32-40 per night. Walking distance to good eateries. Recommend food within walking distance: Cafe Buenos Aires on Polk st. for their variety of fresh empanadas and desserts, fruit fruit smoothies and hot mushroom drinks and matcha. Then to have the stews/soups and other chinese foods at Hai Ki Mi Gia on Ellis. Both eateries keep a very clean place and presentation of food, on top of the food tasting delicious."

"Excellent city view (worth the price). Great location on Nob Hill. Ideal for family stay. Extortion pricing in the lobby machines and mini-store (($8.00 for a 4 oz. bottle of Pepto-Bismal, $10.60 for one bottle of cold beer!!). Just do your shopping in the surrounding shops..."

"Room was suprisingly quiet for an older hotel (1927). Markets nearby within walking distance. Very affordable and staff was quite attentive to any issues that I had. Would stay here again if I was making another solo journey to San Francisco-"

"This is a solid option for being in the heart of SF without paying the exhorbitant prices of nearby chain hotels. I would stay here again. Safe, easy access, and friendly staff. It is smallish, older, but if you need a place to stay that won't break the bank. This is a place to consider."

"Clean room, easy parking, at the time of this stay only 2 of the 6 elevators were working and only allowed 5 people per elevator. One elevator in the front, and if you know the secret, one service elevator in the back. After a nice concert at the Bill Graham it took forever to get to our room because of the wait for the elevator. And definitely put the do not disturb sign up if you want to sleep past 8:30 am as housekeeping is knocking on your door, opening it, and the whole hallways doors too, at 8:30am asking if your need service or are checking out. Ruined my morning for sure."
