Ideally set in San Francisco, citizenM San Francisco Union Square features air-conditioned rooms, a fitness centre, free WiFi and a shared lounge. The property is around less than 1 km from Moscone Center, a 16-minute walk from San Francisco City Hall and 2.7 km from Oracle Park. The property is non-smoking and is situated 400 metres from Union Square.

It’s a wonderful place to stay in San Francisco. Very clean and modern, staff is super friendly, and the location is absolutely perfect — it’s very easy to get to/from the airport and every possible attraction is within reach. The rooms are indeed small but as a solo traveler, I didn’t have any issue with that. Can’t think of a better value-for-money option in SF.

    The location is in the heart of SF. You get what you pay for. Don’t expect luxury for that price; however it deserves 5 stars for quality / price.

    Everything about the hotel was great. The location and cleanliness in particular was outstanding. The hotel was better than the photos showed. It was spotlessly clean and the toiletries were really lovely to use. I've stayed in many hotels around the world both for work and pleasure and some 5 star but none as clean as Hotel Stratford. Loved how bathroom windows opened to allow fresh air. Twin room was spacious and the beds were really comfortable. The Queen deluxe room was huge. Excellent value for money. Totally exceeded expectations.

    Parker's House is a precious gem in San Francisco! The staff is incredibly friendly, the couple (who I guess are owners / managers) are always present and willing to help. The common areas are really INCREDIBLE – they seem to take you back to the era when the house was originally built. The garden is so beautiful. Decoration is superb! My husband and I have been travelling a lot lately, and we can say without a doubt that that’s a level of detail even 5-star hotels sometimes do not manage to uphold. Bravo!
