This is a non-corporate chain gem right off of Union Square! The staff, the room, everything was *wonderful*. Note; there's no on site restaurant so room service isn't an option but it didn't bother us one bit. We had dinner x2 and breakfast, each at restaurants which were all literally across the street. Absolutely amazing location, responsive staff, in a clean, historic building.

If you’re afraid to go to San Francisco, STOP being afraid!!! What a mellow place to stay, even during the Pride Day parade weekend. Handlery is peaceful, safe, a minute away from the cable car and 3 minutes away from Muni Union Square. Great service, clean, quiet. Don’t believe the haters. Stay here and enjoy the beautiful City!

The staff was great from valet, concierge and front desk. It’s in a convenient place. The building is definitely older but it has charm. The bathroom is pretty outdated and I was surprised the big windows in the room opened. We were on the 7th floor but it didn’t bother us just a shock. The hotel did its job and I would go back.

We got in at 1:00 am in the morning and Stephanie was working the front desk. She was a gem. Got us set up for the evening and even upgraded our room to a balcony when she discovered that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. She was friendly each evening. We were around much during the day because we were out and about, but Stephanie made us feel so welcome. The only complaint I have? The water pressure. It took forever to get conditioner out of my hair! Lol

We’ve stayed at the hotel before and it is great place to stay. Hotel staff is the best and super clean and welcoming. The rooms are a bit outdated with small bathroom, but everything needed is available either in room or quick call. Great place to stay for a warm bed to sleep and feel safe in the city.

Totally worth it but phone service wasn't good.

Customer service sucked outside of housekeeping, phone service was rude and dismissive. Room was super clean and view was nice. Got the premier qq room. Was there for pride, loved the info sheet provided at check in.

It's time to spray for bugs at the Handlery!

We have been staying at the Handlery for years now. It has always been clean and we love the location as it is in a safe part of SF and close to everything. We checked out yesterday (6/29/25) after a 2-night stay. On Saturday, we discovered a large bug/beetle on the bed. (Photo below). We told the front desk Saturday evening when we returned from dinner and they quickly upgraded us to a suite (room 715). And we discovered another of the same beetle. This time in the bathroom. It was unnerving and left us with very little sleep that night. We checked out Sunday.
Found 6/28/25 (room 250)
Found on 6/29/25 (room 715).
