I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was a good size and was very clean and very comfortable. The ensuite was very satisfactory also. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. more

We stayed at the Powel Hotel as part of our honeymoon trip and I have to say that it was a filthy place to stay. On arrival we were given a room which, when we entered, had a nasty smell of faeces present. A sweet air freshener poorly masked this. We spoke to reception and were given access to an... more

Great location and price. Travelling with gf and it was a great fit for us since we don't need luxury. Would definitely recommend this hotel for people who are looking for a no-thrills experience but with great location and staff. more

I booked this hotel for a shopping trip to SF with my 17 year old daughter. We wanted something convenient to Union Square and the Westfield Mall. For this purpose, there isn't a better location - it's directly across from the Gap stores at the cable car turnaround and the Mall is right across Market Street. The place shows its... more

I was in SF for a convention and wanted to stay a few extra days on my own expense - so I shifted from the expensive Hotel480 to Powell, and what an improvement in how I was treated!

I stayed here with my wife on an anniversary trip to San Francisco, the first time to the city for both of us, and we couldn't have stayed at a better place! The location is mentioned by just about all of the reviews, and I couldn't agree more that it is perfect. The cable car turnaround is literally right out... more

We stayed at this hotel at the end of March 2008, and found it to be well located, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was well thought out and clean and the bed was lovely and comfy. more

We didn't really know what to expect after reading some reviews that were less than flattering but what a pleasant surprise we had. The hotel although an old building was well maintained, clean and tidy. While the room was not large it contained a beautifully comfortable king size bed which we appreciated after a long flight from Australia. The staff... more

My husband and I stayed at the Powell for the weekend and were really impressed by the location. We took the BART from the airport and it literally dumped us at the entrance of the hotel. Also at the entrance of the hotel is the end of the cable car line, and it will literally take you across town to... more
