The Metro Hotel

Perfect hotel for a weekend getaway. Great neighborhood with restaurants and bars (and the Independent) walking distance. I also like that it's close to Castro and Haight/Ashbury and Outside Lands Music Festival.

Very nice, clean and quiet place close to so many things! Friendly desk and check in. I would stay here again.

We felt a bit catfished by this property - the website makes it look sleek with the charm of a historical building, but the interior was pretty gnarly.

Our original room on the first floor was... not good. The room had a window that overlooked an air vent that seemed to blow exhaust and smoke from the restaurant next door, giving the room a terrible smell. There was also loud music heard from our arrival (4 pm) to when we got back (9 pm).

At that point, we asked the front desk if any other rooms were available, and he was able to switch us to the room directly above, which was surprisingly much quieter and more normal feeling. However, the soap ran out the next day, and the bathroom didn't feel all that clean (hair in the soap dish in the shower)

The carpets are old and stained, the paintings in the hallways are askew, and the rooms are soooo small. Thankfully, it wasn't loud at night so we slept fine, and the location was great. But I could not recommend this hotel.

We stayed in th e metro hotel, and the facility was quite lovely. There is a nice garden where we did morning yoga and we stayed in the haight Ashbury room which was quite spacious for 3 people. The location is perfect, walking distance to great food, haight st shopping, and golden gate park. The only downside for me is that the lobby and hallways are very heavily fragranced with a perfumey vanilla scent. It was being sprayed into the lobby regularly, and it triggered an asthma attack for me.
They also use strong smelling cheap laundry soap, which I really hate. Fortunately, I brought my own pillow.
I would totally recommend this hotel otherwise, but just a warning to other asthmatics on the fragrance spray. It made my belongings smell as well by spraying directly on my suitcase while I was checking in.

My stay at the Metro Hotel in San Francisco was exceptional. The hotel's central location allowed easy access to popular attractions, making it a convenient choice for exploring the city. The room was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished, providing a relaxing retreat after a day of sightseeing. The staff was friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant and hassle-free experience. With its affordable rates and excellent service, the Metro Hotel exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco.

My friends came upon the Metro Hotel when we decided to make last minute plans to stay a whole weekend in San Francisco. We chose the Metro Hotel based on price (within our budget), location (acceptable walk away from BART stations and the Castro district), and how clean and acceptable the rooms looked both on Yelp and their website.

When we checked into the hotel, we were kindly and immediately greeted by the front desk receptionist who quickly checked us in and gave us information and tips on the area. Even with the hotel utilizing physical keys, we were able to have two pairs of keys which was very convenient.

When we came to our room 109 (interestingly named the Lion's Den in my email confirmation), we found the room to be very clean and comfy. Bed sheets were exceeded expectations especially with the fuzzy duvet blankets provided. The wall between the beds was nice when half our group was asleep and the other was awake. TV had cable which lets you watch a handful of channels like Food Network, Comedy Central, and other lovable channels. Towel service and beds were made immediately while we were gone which was very convenient for us. Ice was available upon front desk request.

While our San Francisco adventure was a little chaotic, we found the Metro Hotel to be our safe haven for a multitude of reasons. One was that the lobby had a cute little dispenser with lemon-infused water for guests to drink from which was a delight to come upon every time we arrived back at the hotel. It was great coming back to a clean cozy hotel room each night of our stay. The hotel is also situated in area with tons of cafes, shops and even a decent chill bar across the street - The Page. Public transportation was also much better than expected as we found there was a ton of buses that stopped 1-2 min away from the hotel which was a major convenience to us. There's even a muni stop thats about a 8min walk from the hotel.

The Metro Hotel may not be like those big chain hotels with numerous amenities, but it was one of the best hotel experiences I've had as the smaller hotel feel allowed for a more personal experience with the friendly staff. The hotel carried alot of charm that you won't see anywhere else. I would definitely book here again the next time I'm in the area. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Had a fantastic time here. Staff was great. Location was perfect with things to do in every direction. And, to top it off, I forgot my watch in the room after I checked out and they shipped it back right away.

spent my entire weekend in one of these castles, and I regret nothing! It was comfortable and hassle-free

I've had two extended week long stays here. It's a great little boutique hotel in a great location. I highly recommend. One concern: it was freezing cold when I stayed there (40's) .... They had space heaters for the room ( there's no other heat) and they would've worked better except the housecleaning would open all the upstairs outside doors on the second floor open and let all the freezing air in for several hours everyday. It made my room and I'm sure everyone SO cold I had to run the space heater 24/7 which I'm sure killed their electric bill. Another tiny change ... spend a couple bucks and have some coffee in the lobby. The place next door doesn't open until later and it's expensive.

Great Little hotel very much a San Francisco special. I would highly recommend this place to stay.
