Hotel located in front of the Powell cable line offering rooms adapted to your needs and budget

This hotel on Powell Street fronts the Powell line of the cable car. Built in 1909, making it almost an artifact, it has since been renovated. However, soundproofing is still inadequate. The Herbert Hotel has 99 rooms, with a choice of sizes to suit your needs and budget. The less expensive rooms have toilets and showers on the landing. When you enter, you won't find anyone at reception (which is in another hotel 100 meters away). Be careful in the neighborhood, which is not the safest.

A bit grotty but is a must for the single traveller in the heart of San Francisco

Very basic but very clean, bed is comfortable, pretty quiet on the top floor (couldn't hear any street noise).
The room rate is very reasonable, do be aware that you need to check in at the Stratford Hotel half a block up the street, your bed isn't made every day and the bathroom and shower are down the hall.
I would definitely stay again...

It's expensive for what you get.bed was super comfy. It's a bit grotty it's an old hotel but it's not bad. You won't meet many staff to complain so don't bother looking. Excellent location and you'll hear the streetcars . Ting ting ting....all night. 7/10

DO NOT COME HERE AS A SOLO FEMALE TRAVELER. The accommodations were suitable for a 2 star hotel, but I was extremely unsafe. There are unhoused people on the street at all times, but this morning there was a man sleeping at the door so that I physically could not exit (picture attached). He appeared to be sleeping whilst holding a cheese grater. Someone else trying to exit the hotel knocked on the glass to wake him, and the sleeping man began to bang on the glass with the grater and a switchblade, and he aggressively tried to grain entry to the hotel. Me and the other guest had to hide for several minutes before exiting. I called the hotel after the incident to see if there was any way security or a staff member could be present in the lobby in the mornings and evenings, and the response was no, but I could call the police. This evening, I entered the hotel and was met by a man with a walker groaning in agony. I held the door open for him, and he began aggressively demanding I say a prayer for a miracle. I felt extremely unsafe but was pinned by the door and he was blocking the hotel entrance. He proceeded to tell me incoherently that he was dragged out of his room and was now going to the hospital, and his microwave was taken away because it was covered in bugs. I tried to contact the hotel after the incident but did not receive any response. For your safety, splurge on a hotel with security and a lobby.

many reviews say that the herbert hotel is dirty or give the area a bad rep but i do not agree! the area is not bad at all. i picked this place because it’s very cheap for the area! we got the standard room and the bed was comfy, the sheets and room were spotless and we felt safe. i will say that the remote didn’t work for the tv but maybe it was a battery issue. there are buttons on the tv. don’t be alarmed if the bathroom is connected to another room, they cannot access it in the other side. the stratford hotel is where you check in and it’s literally across the street, you’ll be fine. 9 minute walk from SFMOMA! walgreens and cvs are around the corner. the fashion district, coffee shops and bars/good eats are all walking distance! i highly recommend this stay.
