The rooms are clean, but small. Location is near bus stops. Trolley car stop is an uphill walk. It's in a safe area. The staff was very helpful showing us points of interest on a map they provide. It was convenient to have a frige in the room. I will stay here again.

We booked this based on reviews and rates. We arrived just on 11pm, the lift was locked off and we had to carry our bags upto reception approx 15 steps. Chap was very nice and informative. Room not large but 2 good sized beds and comfy mattresses. Walgreen across the road, cafes and restaurants, bus stop around corner.

Just decent. Booked through expedia due to free points. But the cost alone was inexpensive anyway around it. The location was great right off of Broadway and Van Ness. Starbucks and Walgreens on the same block- very convenient. The room was clean to the naked eye. However for some reason I felt the heebies in the room. I am not... More

This is the hotel for you if you want a clean comfortable place to sleep, park your car (free if charge) and then just go exploring. It is not romantic or luxurious. It just "does what it says on the tin". I was satisfied with the service and I would stay there again.

After checking numerous sources looking for a hotel that was somewhat centrally located that did not cost an arm and a leg, the four of us booked the Castle Inn. It is an older property, two stories but it does have an elevator. The other reviews are correct in that the free parking area is tight (did I say FREE... More

This hotel is just average in terms of rooms, decor and amenities but it makes up for all of that with location and FREE PARKING. Yes, in order to access said parking you need to be a parking ninja, but it is free! Forget the Wi-Fi at the hotel. I tried to connect multiple times but kept being kicked out... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and found it to be in a great location. The room was 2 queen beds and they were right for the price. It had what we needed by providing clean rooms, very clean bathrooms, and the location couldn't be better. The local bars, restaurants, coffee house and shops were just across the street. The...

Stay at the Castle Inn if you are only looking for a place to sleep. Seriously, this is the type of room where you arrive in San Francisco, drop off your bags and then take off for a day of exploring, dinner, maybe a concert at The Fillmore and only come back to the room when it is dark and...

Good place, free parking but tight, safe area, stores, resturants, staff are good people but a little rough looking. Room was clean and nothing spectacular. About 10 blocks from Fishermans Wharf the tourist trap and all that stuff.

We chose this hotel because of a Tripadvisor rating and weren't disappointed. Stayed for a week for a birthday escape (both of us) with friends. Excellent location: an amazing thai - diner on the corner, a Walgreen's across the street, a lot of eating places on the Polk street (the hotel is between Polk and Van Ness). Fisherman's Wharf and...
