Hotel Abri - Union Square - San Francisco

Ein wunderschönes Hotel in sehr guter Lage zu allen öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln und Autovermietungen. Leider ist es nachts sehr laut auf der Straße, da sich direkt gegenüber ein Nachtclub befindet und bis in die Morgenstunden gelacht und gequatscht wird. Danach kommt die Müllabfuhr. Wer einen festen Schlaf hat oder besser noch die ganze Nacht selbst unterwegs ist, der ist im Abri bestens aufgehoben. Ich würde das Hotel immer wieder wählen - auch mit Kindern.

Top Hotel, frisch renoviert, sehr zentral

Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut und das Hotel an sich sehr sauber und die Angestellten freundlich! Wirklich zu empfehlen

Pros: cozy and comfortable, nice HDTV, not exposed to the sounds of Union Square (located across the street from Infusion Lounge, but we couldn't tell from our room), only a block away from BART [very minor] Cons: somewhat small space (it worked for us perfectly, but others may find it too small); elevator had a baked goods smell, but sometimes it came off too strong that it hurt our noses

Great hotel in a great location in Union Square. Even though the rooms are a little small, the hotel makes up for it. Large TV's, plush comfortable beds, and my favorite: large shower heads. Another thing is that there is little noise from the city. Me and my girlfriend slept with the windows open and we didn't hear any noise from Union Square, which is pretty amazing. We got a fantastic discount from hotels.com to stay here, but even without the discount, this is probably one of my favorite hotels to stay in San Francisco, and have recommended it to many people.

Make sure you don't get a room next to the elevator, it sounds like someone is throwing bowling ball at your door... all day long and all night long... every few minutes. After complaining several times, were able to change our room for the second night of our stay, but I can't believe they would actually think anyone could relax with that noise!!!

we only found out after booking and once we got there that the parking was 43$ plus tax!!!!! on top of that they failed to mention there was an overnight parking 2 minutes away( the O'Ferrell ) that is 6 $ from 5 pm until 8am!!! beds were very comfy but way too overpriced...

On top of everything else, they upgraded us from a King-bed room to a suite, which included a king-bed bedroom, bath, and a separate living room / office. This was really nice when I was doing work the next day. Overall, our room was incredibly comfortable and spacious, in a fantastic location (just 2 blocks from Union Square and 1 block from the Powell BART/Muni station), and the staff was very helpful and polite. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great location. Clean nice room. Staff very friendly. Computers and internet available in lobby. Great shopping and great location for public transportation.

The lobby was gorgeous but I was definately surprised how tiny the room was. Pretty much there is a 2 foot space around the bed and that's it. But the room was cute, nice flatscreen tv, and the bed was very comfy! Other than the size of the room, I thought the hotel was in a great location, right by the mall and 2 blocks from union square.

Excellent location: two short blocks to major shopping and end of cablecar line. Excellent restaurants nearby. Staff was both pleasant and helpful; provided recommendations on dining and shopping. Twenty minute walk to Chinatown. Room was small but nicely and newly decorated. Great bathroom and shower. Windows faced into a light court, so no view, but also, no street noise. There is no self-parking available, but valet service was prompt. $49 overnight. Hotel location is a little hard to find for someone who does not know the city due to the one-way streets, but it worth the effort.

The front desk staff were very helpful and really nice. The rooms were decent size and the beds were really comfortable. They have flat screen tv's, free wireless internet and Ipod docs. There is a great Italian restaurant/bar attached to the hotel that has great happy hour specials. The hotel is in a great area surrounded by a lot of restaurants/bars and the cable car stop is half a block away. The only bad thing was the parking at the hotel is by valet only and it was really expensive. We didn't use our rental car except to/from the airport, so next time I'll know not to get the car and use a shuttle.

Very friendly staff, loved the style and tiny details, bed was very comfortable, perfect location. It was a bit loud as there were construction works nearby, and parking was really expensive too.

This hotel is in the heart of San Francisco. The staff was amazing and very helpful. The king size bed was so comfortable that it was hard to get out of bed. The shower was huge and beautiful. We will be back soon.

The hotel is in a great location--between Union Square and Market Street. There are lots of restaurants nearby, everything from fast food to expensive gourmet. Tons of shopping within steps. About a 10 minute walk to the heart of Chinatown, 15-20 minutes to North Beach. The room was somewhat small, but no smaller than the usual hotels in San Francisco. The decorating was superb, the bathroom was nice, large shower, plenty of space and clean (I'm picky about that)! There was a refrigerator, a large flat screen TV and plenty of drawers for clothing storage. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I have no complaints whatsoever!

The room was larger than I expected and the service was great. I liked the soft sheets and the adjacent restaurant was very good. I would recommend this hotel for families and business travelers.

Staff were friendly, and helpful. I even got a room upgrade which was unexpected and nice. The rooms were clean, the bathrooms were nicely upgraded. Heard the noise of the cable cars in the morning which I personally liked. No complaints at all. This hotel was a great stay.

got a great rate from Hotels.com but the room we booked (king bed) was really small and had a musty smell. same for the bathroom. however, the shower is nice and flat screen tv is great. oh hotel staff was very friendly also. we like the hotel's location as it's close to union sq, muni/bart, shopping etc..we took the muni to the ball park and that was great experience. overall it was a good hotel w great rate but recommend to book a larger room.

Didn't care for the neighborhood. The bathroom was too small. It did not offer breakfast. They need to have breakfast for guests.

The room we were given was sandwiched between the elevator and the maid's closet and was extremely noisy. Needed ear plugs to sleep. It is an older hotel so the rooms are small and the closet was extremely tiny. It was clean though and well maintained. The neighborhood is close to the Tenderloin so we were panhandled frequently.

Very nice newly done rooms. Beds were very comfortable. You can ask for either street side or alley side. The alley side it typically much quieter. No breakfast or bar in the hotel but they are connected to an Italian restaurant that had a bar and served lunch and dinner. Would highly recommend.

This new management and make-over has certainly upgraded the old Monticello. My only disappointment was the street noise. Next time, I'll request a room not facing Ellis Street and it's traffic, night life, etc.

I have stayed in many hotels in SF and for the price the suite I got was such high quality for what I paid. The bedding reminded me of Swiss hotels with a duvet placed under the sheets. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

the rooms are small but clean and nicely designed. the shower is great, and the bathroom a decent size, though it would be nice if they had a shelf for toiletries. there is free wi-fi, which is more than i can say for the westin a few blocks away. there is a cute restaurant attached that has extended happy hour deals with the hotel. the staff was helpful and courteous. when i requested a quiet room, they made the effort and as a result we slept really well! i would stay here again at the discounted hotels.com rate.

The hotel staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. The hotel had a great atmosphere and was decorated very nicely. There were only a couple things we would have changed: there was no counter space in the bathroom, which was inconvenient. Also, our room was right next to the street which was noisy at night. Overall our experience at this hotel was great!

Hotel was obviously older but had undergone a thorough, contemporary renovation. Pleasant decor & amenities (such as i-Pod ready stereo and thougtful work space). Staff was quick to replace my broken ironing board. Bathroom was light and clean with a great shower. Only complaint is that there isn't much storage space in the room or the bathroom, which is fairly typical of older hotel spaces. Front desk personnel were nice and helpful, very knowledgeable. "City View" room is a little loud since it's in the middle of a lively downtown area. Very close to great selection of restaurants and shopping.

The perfect last minute 48 hr getaway

We had a great stay at the Abri and the staff made every effort to make sure we had a good experience. The hotel is clean and newly renovated. Our only complaint would be that our particular room was very small, but given that they upgraded us from a queen to a king and also accommodated my request for a high, quiet floor, I can't really complain! The location was very central to everything. Union Square is not my favorite area but this hotel definitely had the best price/value/location equation and I would definitely stay there again. The free business center, free in room wireless and (empty) refrigerator as well as complimentary coffee and tea in the morning went a long way to me loving this hotel. Why doesn't everyone do this!

The room wa a little smaller than I expected but it was very comfortable, clean, and had nice amenities. No hot tub or exercise room on site but it's a great location only a block from the trolley and the Bart/Muni Station. Lots of fun restaurants nearby. Very pleasant and helpful hotel staff.

Overall very enjoyable stay. Convenient access to business center. Location was great, would stay again for business or vacation travel. The staff was excellent and very friendly.

We loved the friendliness of the hotel. It was our 40th wedding anniversary, and they sent up a complimentary bottle of wine. All of their restaurant suggestions were fabulous, and we couldn't have been happier. Because there were two separate rooms, my husband could wake up early and read the newspapers the hotel provided in our little living room while I slept in. We will definitely stay here again!

Close to MUNI/ tram/ BART and Union Square: good quality hotel and lovely staff. Helpful staff. Recommended stay.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Rooms newly refurbished in a modern style with coffee maker, comfy beds, although not all that large. Great bathrooms and showers. Quality toiletries. Would highly recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed Hotel Abri. The rooms are small but posh. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. Room service is available. This is a good central location. If you haven't been to San Francisco before, it's not the cleanest city and you'll meet plenty of homeless people. (Word to the wise: SF feeds its homeless 3x a day in several locations. Don't give anyone money.) I saved about $400 by staying here over a large chain hotel nearby. No workout room but so what? Walking the hills here is workout enough. Also, take one of the shuttles to and from the airport for about $15. Lots of varied dining right nearby.

The rooms are on the small side, but well decorated (nice color schemes) with a good combo of old school charm and modern convenience (e.g., wooden doors and molding, with new bathroom and hip furniture). Service was excellent. I was having trouble getting wireless internet in my room, and the engineer on staff (they actually have one) troubleshooted, and then came to my room to give me cable to make sure I could always get a strong signal. Room service from the adjacent restaurant was prompt, courteous, and the food was delicious. The htoel location is stellar. The trolley line and bart are right around the corner, and in the immediate area are tons of shopping (Virgin records, indie record store, Apple, Urban Outfitters, Gap, Saks, etc.) all within steps to a few blocks of the hotel. Many restaurants, drug stores, and all kinds of shops within walking distance.

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Abri while we were in San Francisco to get married. From the moment we stepped through the front door, we were impressed with the overall look and feel of the hotel. It was very clean with a cool vibe that wasn't too trendy/hipster. The staff was phenomenal -- when we mentioned that we needed directions to City Hall because we were getting married there the next day, Sheila at the front desk immediately upgraded us to a very spacious corner room at no extra charge. The following day when we returned to the hotel after the ceremony, Wilmer and the rest of the staff sent up a very nice bottle of wine as a congratulations. Every time we walked past the front desk during our four-night stay, without exception, we were greeted with a smile and asked if there was anything we needed. I cannot say enough good things about the staff! Customer service is definitely well-practiced here! The room itself was great -- we were on the fourth floor in an outward-facing room. The bed was AMAZING; it might be the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in and I've done A LOT of traveling! It was quiet; the iPod dock and flat, wall-mounted TV were definite perks. The room was a great size and had plenty of room for the two of us. Apparently, the hotel was fairly recently renovated. It was a job very well done! I have absolutely no complaints about our stay at the Hotel Abri. The location was perfect -- just up from the Powell Muni/BART station and just south of Union Square and Chinatown. I would recommend this hotel to anyone without hesitation!

Can't beat the location. As other reviews had mentioned there is a night club across the street. Easy and effective fix is to turn the air conditioner/heater fan on at night. I slept like a baby even when I was sick as a dog the last night in the extremely comfortable beds. All staff were courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. Would most definitely stay again.

Guess these things happen from time to time. The Florence was very comfortable, albeit with a very small bathroom. We were compensated with 50 bucks. Parking is however $55 plus tax so bear that in mind.

Staying in San Francisco's Financial District for the price is great. However, parking fees are overpriced ($49.00 PER night of stay). It is valet, but one doesn't have the option of parking his/her own car in the hotel parking, so you are forced to park somewhere overnight or pay the $49.00. The staff is courteous and helpful. Overall, I would recommend staying in this European Boutique hotel to others, sans the high parking cost.

There are lots of people in the streets, so I felt pretty safe, but Ellis and Powell Sts. seem very "Tenderloin" (dirty and low life). However, there's a huge hotel across the street on the Cyrill Magnin St. side of the hotel, so there are always cabs and security around. And the convenience of Union Sq and the Westfield Mall (especially for meals in the mall's excellent food court) and Market St. buses and trolleys can't be beat. As to the hotel, the worst thing about it is the smell in the lobby. Not sure what it is; possibly nearby restaurants. Also, the double-fast salsa lobby music made me feel caffeinated. I couldn't wait to get to the door or the elevator. If you want quiet, ask for a courtyard room on the fifth floor. It was very quiet on a Friday night. The room was wonderful! Compact, yes, but not too small. I wish they had more room for toiletries in the b'room (which, by the way, had a "double-flow" toilet -- very environmentally correct). I loved the glass-doored, walk-in shower. Bottom line? Comfort, quality and location, location, location!

The staff couldn't have been more helpful and the amenities were very good. A greta location at Union Square convenient to BART and cable cars. The only negative was the time it took toget the car from valet parking.

Got a great deal on a nice room at the Hotel Abri. The rooms are not large but are very well appointed and comfortable. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. David the Night Auditor was especially helpful both at checkin and during the rest of my stay. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

room was located next to elevator. it felt as if the elevator was coming thru the wall. kept me up most of the night. would not stay there again.
