We had a fabulous experience here!! The location is perfect, 2 blocks from Union Square, across the street from the Powell BART station. Staff was very friendly and helpful, continental breakfast was nice. The only thing negative was that the hallways on the 6th floor were very cold. Thanks for a great stay!!!

The hotel was very difficult to find. Almost zero street level signage. The lobby ambience was kind of weird. And, while the room was a decent size, the security felt odd. The auto closing door had to be pulled shut. After two days of coming back to an unlocked/ajar door (from the cleaning staff not pulling it shut) we were a little unnerved. Security was lax in that anyone could walk in off the street (in daylight hours) and stroll into the elevators without using a keycard. And in downtown SanFran, you can imagine how that makes one feel.

The room was spacious. Great location. Besides the shower issue, the room was clean. Late check out was provided for no additional fee.

No coffee makers in room even though their site says they did, no closet in room so no place to hang up clothes. Bathroom was just ok and there were some cleanliness issues which I reported but were not taken care of, specifically, that the shower had someone’s residual soap left in the soap dish and that it was draining slowly, so you’d be standing ankle deep in water at the end of your shower.

I have been charged for breakfast. I did auto check out so did not see the final bill. We gave out waiter the coupons at breakfast. I am still waiting for the hotel to respond. It’s been over 24 hours

There was a lot of homeless by the hotel and they were defecating on the street in front of the hotel every morning the sidewalks had to be cleaned. I did not feel safe to walk around the area.
Also, the $159 room rate is a joke once they add all their taxes and fees and parking. And the free breakfast was a continental breakfast

Great deal on a nice hotel in a convenient location. Highlights included spacious room executive king), comfy bed/linens, clean and stylish design, high pressure shower, friendly front desk staff, and truly delicious breakfast. Negatives included a heavy bathroom sliding door that was extremely off-track/hard to slide, dense pillows, mostly non-functioning difficult to locate ice machines, and poor soundproofing (noise from street and halls/other guests). No in-room coffee and a high step in shower/tub if that’s a factor.

Travelzoo offer a bargain, although the bonus wine was awful- not sure we saw the $10 credit, and the continental breakfast voucher should be a $20 po credit rather than a choice restriction of that value. The flaws mentioned above detract from a fine property, esp where similar excellent bargain options exist in the downtown.

Overall very nice experience - rooms don’t have A/C and many/most have windows that are directly next to the street so you sacrifice a bit of privacy, but they have up / down shades and frosted glass in parts to help with that.

Nice they offer a daily wine and cheese - not the best vino, but nice to have it included.

My son (14) and I stayed here. The bathroom door was one of those doors that slide into the wall. There was a slight gap when the door was "closed all the way", so it wasn't 100% private. It did not lock and there was no fan either. Other than that, it was a nice place.

Travel Zoo said we'd receive a $10 room credit, even though the resort fee was waived. However, the hotel did not give us room credit because the resort fee was waived. It was overall a very nice hotel and felt safe, and close to BART, bus, and cable car stations.

One of the front lobby staff on Saturday said repeatedly that there would be no breakfast on Sunday. he told multiple people in our group. Althought the bar and restaurant WERE closed for the evening, it was open for breakfast. Even the sign in the lobby was confusing. We went, but others in our group didn't.

Hotel Zelos is a beautiful hotel right in the heart of downtown San Francisco. It's nearby to all local shopping, transportation and restaurants. The staff members are very accommodating and the beds are super comfortable. Don't think twice, just book this hotel.

The front desk staff and the parking garage attendant were pleasant and efficient. The room was fine and had enough room for an urban hotel. Our included continental breakfast was fresh and delicious. The location of Hotel Zelos was the best part. We were able to explore the SOMA district right from the hotel. We were near City Hall where our son got married and near SFMOMA which we enjoyed the next day.

Overall the staff was not very pleasant. I was quite surprised at the difficulty and discomfort I received from getting some basic questions answered. Valet parking was not easy. Lots of noise outside which was heard all night long. And the check out staff and garage valet parking staff were unfriendly and unhelpful.

Hotel Zelos perfectly encapsulated the increasingly strong argument against AirBnb. It was frictionless, enjoyable, and made my vacation significantly simpler and easier than a lesser hotel or an AirBnb would have.

We could not find a water dispenser in the gym, which was odd. The room is nice but small and get stuffy. The artwork is bizarre and not inviting. The hotel restaurant/bar is closed on Sundays which does not make sense since San Francisco is such a well visited city. Also, the bathrooms do not have fans, leading to the whole space being stuffy after a shower, etc.

The Continental breakfast was delicious. However, they did not provide decaf tea. Please provide decaf tea for those who are tea drinkers. Decaf coffee was offered and it was delicious! Thanks!!
