The vintage ambiance with period details created a warm, nostalgic feel. I appreciated the owner's pride in maintaining the hotel's rich history, which made my stay truly special.

Suitable for budget travelers looking for a place to crash

Location is perfect, just across the street from the BART station which made getting around super easy. The staff really went out of their way to help me when I had some requests, they treated me like I was someone important, kind of refreshing you know?

It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but it was acceptable given the situation.

It was a strong match for a brief weekend stay in San Francisco with value for money. The location made it easy to walk to nearby spots, but the absence of air conditioning was uncomfortable. Be ready for limited breakfast options. Starbucks nearby works better.

Public transportation access is right across the street, making it easy to get around. The coffee and donuts for breakfast, while basic, provide a quick start to the day for those on the go.

The proximity to numerous homeless individuals creates a feeling of unease, especially when stepping outside at night. Some rooms have old beds that may not provide the best sleep, and the lack of space in the bathroom for toiletries can be frustrating. The decor and overall feel of the rooms seem outdated, which might not appeal to those looking for modern accommodations.

I had a good time here thanks to the comfy bed and the hot shower after a long day. They also had a nice lounge to relax in. A little garden area perfect for unwinding. Just a heads up, the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty, but it didn’t ruin my stay! 😊

Charming old hotel with original decor, felt like stepping into a movie! Great deal during a busy conference and super friendly staff made it all cozy.

But honestly, the shower situation was a bit of a treasure hunt—head to the hallway for that. And the neighborhood? It's lively, just not the kind of lively one wants after dark!

The location is a major highlight, just minutes from downtown and across from BART, making transit seamless. The friendly staff accommodated all requests, which made for a pleasant experience. Wi-Fi was impressively stable during crucial work meetings. However, power outages during my stay due to external conditions created some discomfort, especially with the dropping temperatures. Free breakfast bars were a nice touch but limited options might leave some wanting more variety.

I recently stayed here for 3 nights. The place is old but it is well-kept and smells fresh. The free coffee and donuts for breakfast were a nice touch! Just a heads-up, the rooms are quite basic and the bathrooms could use some renovations.

great value in a rough neighborhood yet charming staff and free wi-fi

Good location, friendly staff.

I appreciated the value for money at Aida Plaza, especially for its easy access to San Francisco's downtown and cultural hotspots. The location buzzes with life, though the presence of the homeless can feel distressing. Still, it's a good choice for an affordable stay. Staff were helpful and attentive.
