Top South of Market Hotel Reviews

Hotel Zelos San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great extremely accommodating. Great location & clean hotel."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The niceties at the Handlery start with the staff. Always attentive with a kind word spoken is exactly what you want your customer service to be. There are two buildings. If you stay in the Premiere Building there’s a nifty mechanical lift to take you from ground level to pool level to access the Premiere Building entrance. My single-king room was spacious with a work area, social area and full balcony. But the “cherry on top,” for me … the shower water pressure. No trickle down element in play here. Water cascaded from the shower spout like it was late for a very important date; steaming-hot too! May I also mention with the room fridge, I took advantage of the Trader Joe’s that’s just three blocks away and a tasty Korean-fusion spot, CoCoBang, that’s two blocks away. The Handlery is simply a win, Win, WiN establishment."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great little spot in a nice part of town. Felt safe, rooms were small but clean, and staff was very helpful and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again. Loved that they had refillable water bottles with purified water. Definitely a bonus as we didn’t have to go out and buy water."
