The Hotel Stratford
The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The room was small but very comfortable and clean. Hotel Stratford is central within easy reach of shops, eating places cable cars, buses and the subway station.

6/10 Good

Good but could be better…
Good location, nice rooms. Major complaint no real veneration the whole room smelt like mildew. Lots of dust on fan, windows, window screens, blinds, could have been from hallway carpet? Or outside when window is open. However was dusty upon entry before opening window to air out mildew smell. Beware if you have allergies.

Things you need to know when you stay here: - No coffee at all in the hotel or rooms. Great walkable spots all around the streets - No fridge in room or in hotel for guest use - No view - we looked at a brick wall but we didn't care! - No closet or dresser - you get 3 hooks and 6 hangers for your clothes. - The twin bed room is just big enough, think a large euro room. - You should be very comfortable with the person you stay with as there is NO sound proofing at all between the bathroom and the bedroom. A barn door does not cover any sounds. We turned on the tv whenever someone was using the bathroom. - It was super clean and updated! Beds were comfy. This was exactly what we wanted at a pretty dang good price - location was superb, right in Union Square and easy to walk to BART and surrounding areas. My sister and I loved the twin bed set up, the room had just what we needed and not a touch more. Purified water dispenser in the lobby. The free drink coupons for the bar around the corner was a nice touch and we took them up on it. I wanted a clean room with a nice bed for not too much money and this is exactly what we got. Can't wait to stay there again!
Twin room - just what we needed!

Stayed for 7 nights and loved it. The room is compact but high quality and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was ample, modern and well maintained. Daily housekeeping. Only thing missing was a bit more layers in the bed. I am usually cold so had to sleep with many layers of clothes. I would stay here again as it was safe, clean, beautiful and walking distance from a lot of attractions in the city.

This is a small, boutique hotel with the essential amenities. I like that the room was modern and recently updated. The lobby area is nicely decorated with complementary coffee and tea any time of day. The area is busy and central, and if you know San Francisco, can feel a bit unsafe at times, but the hotel had keyed entry and was tucked away which made me feel safer. Uber does not stop in front, so you have to walk to the corner, which was not too far. One issue I had is the shower was leaking, lots of water would escape from under the door, and I had to use lots of towels to protect the wood floor. I mentioned this during my first day there, and they took note of it, but nothing was done but bring me additional towels.
