Layne Hotel

The hotel was very clean and nice. Staff was very helpful. It was really comfortable and nobody was disturbing us. The price is amazing, I think it´s best deal in San Francisco.

The location is really… challenging. A big amount of homeless people, although owner was notifying us about it himself and we are thankful that he was sinsere about this problem. So I will say that if you don’t want to spend a lot of money or f.e. You are a student, it’s totally fine, but I will not recommend to sty here, if you want to have a honeymoon.

The staff was very nice and the room was as we expected it to be.

The area is really bad. Tenderloin is the center of the fentanyl crisis next to market. Better avoid the area after dark.

A real bargain

Sound isolation in rooms, especially when your room is right opposite to a shared toilet, no way to drink a tea or coffee in hotel

Hotel in downdown in city center so everywhere is close. Have elevator so you dont have to pick up your bags to the 5 floor on staris :) Staff very helpful and nice the hotel met my expectations and even exceeded them. Rooms are big, beds okey and big, there is a internet, fridge, microvave and place where you can shave or clear your teeth I rcomended this place !

There should be in booking bolded information that hotel is taking deposit 250 $. They returned that money but I waited 6 working days for my money (10 days)

The Layne is definitely the best budget hotel in SF. It’s super clean and comfortable and the same family has owned and operated it for decades. The location is great as it’s central and just a few blocks from Union Square and BART. I’ve stayed in a lot of different hotels in SF over the years and the Layne is still my favorite.

I liked everything.

I bought a cheap hotel in SF on the fly, almost abandoned my deposite when I realized where it actually was located and started walking there. If you’re traveling without kids and feel confident in sketchy areas this place is perfect. Room was clean. Man at the front desk was respectful, helpful and very self aware of the neighborhood they’re located in. Tenderloin is a hard pill to swallow, but again, if you’re looking for a very inexpensive, clean room, very close to BART stops (Powell & Civic Ctr) than this place is just fine. 4 out of 5

This is a really cool old hotel (built in 1912). If you are looking for a modern five star hotel (with all the amenities), it is probably not for you. But, if you enjoy staying in a building that is on the historic register, you will really like this place. The elevator is vintage - but for me that was part of the charm. It isn't fancy - but the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable. The TV and Internet both worked fine. What really made it for me was the staff. Day or night you are greeted by one of the managers who quickly get to know and recognize you. I felt very safe in the hotel. The neighbourhood is kind of typical for San Francisco once you get away from the main tourist area. You may see colourful people on the street. There is a great little Mexican restaurant across the street. I'd definitely stay here again.

Great front desk experience, safe hotel/secure entrance, very, I had my window cracked open and it wasn’t noisy outside which was nice. I’ll stay here next time I’m in SF.
