Top Balmy Alley Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super clean and staff was friendly and helpful. There was an excellent bakery and a variety of restaurants within 1 block."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

8/10 Good

"Clean Place"

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel location is great and being a an older hotel you expect some small quirks with the building. I guess do to vagrant issues, they do not open the double doors in front so on a warm day lobby is very stuffy (AC in rooms only). Carpets are super dirty. Furniture on lobby area has holes, rips, tears. the photos are not correct. And it is not that clean or comfortable. Looking in the gathering areas. The attached restaurant does not open until after one o'clock in afternoon, so don't expect getting anything before then. The price is right for what you get in that area of SF. It is a 3 star at best hotel on a scale of 1 - 5 star. Nothing horribly bad, but nothing exceptional. Beds are comfy and pillows not bad. Just don't expect 5 star and you will be fine."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, helpful staff"

Becks Motor Lodge

8/10 Good

"Spent three nights solo in a king room. The property is clean but no frills. No food (but I had excellent breakfast at nearby Wooden Spoon). Room size was generous, but no desk. Free parking was a great attraction; I got an early (11am) check in for my car."

LUMA Hotel San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and spacious. Staff were very helpful"

Parker Guest House San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great visit! Wonderful staff. Very pretty property. Excellent location"

Perramont Hotel

8/10 Good

"Safe and budget friendly place near the Castro. The walls are thin, can hear the other guests. The shower and bathroom are shared and not well maintained."

Noe's Nest Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Beds were comfortable and we had a great back yard view and balcony we enjoyed greatly. The breakfast was excellent first two days and became OK the next two days! I will definitely try to stay there on my future SF visits."
