This is my 2nd time staying at the Castle Inn. It’s my go-to hotel whenever I’m visiting SF because it’s affordable and closeby to a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, bus stops, etc. The area it’s in is pretty quiet for the most part and very safe and clean! Will continue to keep booking at this place for my future trips to SF!

A decent motel in a fairly central location that won't hit you hard in the wallet. 5 minute walk to cable car stop that will take you to Pier 39 and financial/shopping district. Plenty of grocery shops and food & drink around the motel.

Customer service was amazing! The employee was very kind and accommodating. The hotel itself was good for what you’re paying for and parking is included; where many hotels in the area do not have parking included. However parking is tiny so try not to bring your biggest vehicle! Tight spots and tight turn around spots and if there are no vacancies then there are no extra spots. The room and amenities were good for just resting your head at night and a hot shower. Beds were comfortable, water pressure was great and heated up quickly. The only downfall is we had horrible neighbors and walls are paper thin. We could hear the drunks outside our door at 3:00 am extremely loud and then continued to hear them throwing up through the walls all night. We were just unlucky but the hotel itself was perfect for a quick stay with good and friendly service and comfortable beds.

Convenient location to Waymo to Fishermans Wharf. Convenient parking. We had a quiet room towards the back of the hotel. Only trouble was that air conditioner leaked on the rug, making a wet, dirty mess.

Walking distance to restaurants and some shopping. Relatively quiet sleeping for location. We used ride share for Pier and left the car in the garage. My son stayed a few months ago and walked to the Pier. He's in good shape. Free parking here is a plus. Hotel is good condition for its age. If you like walking and local vibe this is good choice.

Place and room is clean and good, service was friendly and okay but what is annoying is the noise level. I was in room 116, 3rd room from back end of the bldg but street noise is unbearable with window shut and AC on. Ear plug helped some until people above and around the room stomp, drop stuff and slam doors. If you prefer quiet place to rest, this is not the motel for you. I wish they did show the noise level as part of the rating

A great place just to sleep in not to stay

Very basic hotel. Not a room you want to stay in other than for sleeping. Old and damp carpet, needed to blast air condition to overcome the smell despite it being a cold day. There is free parking which is a great advantage and it’s very close to Polk Street with its restaurants. The staff were very kind and it was easy to check in. I would recommend it if you’re really just looking for a place to sleep not to stay in and enjoy.

Stay at Castle Inn, San Francisco

Had a comfortable stay at the Castle Inn at end of May 2025. The location was excellent, near main attractions. There were issues with the phone system, where the phone rang for 2 straight evenings and no one answered. We notified the front desk and was informed of problems with the phone system. We unplugged the phone after the first night, but the staff plugged it in again (unknown to us) and it disturbed us for the 2nd night. The basement garage provided free parking, but it takes some care and effort to maneuver the car to fit through the extremely narrow entrance. After we checked out, management was affable in storing our baggage until 5:00 pm to enable us to do more sightseeing. Overall, I recommend this hotel for basic comfort, location and reasonable price.
