Hotel concept is cute. Good location. Loved the check in process. However, guy at front desk was rude and condescending when I was having difficulty with the code for the front door and COCKROACHES!!!

Have stayed here a few times. This was the best experience as the room was adorable/comfortable/accessible. With that said, the staff is not on site 24/7 and the accessible front door is often locked so you need to use a side door which has two small steps up. I was able to manage that. The bar is crazy popular some nights and fun. You're across from the Chinatown gate and steps from some great restaurants/Financial District. Short walk to shopping/Union Square. Tiny European/style elevator barely fits two. Art work throughout is fun fun fun.

You are in a fantastic location. Steps from Chinatown and short distance from North Beach. Saves you time because getting places is easy. I'd recommend this is a place if you are ok with small rooms and the showers in the hallway. My room didn't have a lamp, just an overhead light. I would say if you are looking for bare bones, great location, clean bed this would be your place.

At first, this seemed like the perfect hotel. Convenient and a good price. However, our room did not look anything like the picture; the shared bathroom was extremely small, there was no lock on the door, there was a random door in our room, the sheets were dirty, and the walls were paper-thin. First night was fine, and then we had horrible neighbors who took our balcony to themselves AND were noisy ALL night long...Not to mention, we asked for "late" checkout (which was an hour later) and it was confirmed, then our key to the room disappeared from the app, and we got a freaky call from the administration telling us to remove our bags...how were we supposed to do that if we couldn't get in the room? It was just too many little things that added up. Spend a bit more and stay at a better place.

The stay was great, the staff was excellent, however upon checking in we discovered a huge cockroach in our room! My wife is HIGHLY allergic to cockroachs so it definitely put a damper on our first night. Luckily the staff handled the issue in an acceptable time frame and we ended up having an ok time.

Small and uncomfortable. Great location.

Funky, old hotel in great location. No front desk personnel - entrance and room key all digital. We knew the room would be small but no lamps or reading lights - just an obnoxiously bright ceiling light. No air-conditioning - the room was HOT. No chairs or place to sit other than on the beds. And the TV didn't work - no internet connection. Overall the 2-night stay was passible but definitely not comfortable. Also, rooms on the Rush St. side are very loud - not recommended.

The rooms were extremely hot. There was only one shareable bathroom for everyone on the floor I was in, and it was in bad condition. The elevator didn’t work all the time. Place was very unclean. The only part of that hotel that was good was the bar. I will never stay there again. I not recommend anyone body do either.
