Beds are really uncomfortable, set up is weird with no bathroom in your room and shared hall way bathrooms. My window had no screen or circulation. Staff was nice but facility was more like a hostel than a hotel

ON SEPT 1, I CHECKED INTO THE HOTEL. I WAS TOLD BY TRACY, THE FRONT CLERK, THAT I COULD STAY AT THE THE RATE OF $442, INDEFINITELY, & THERE WAS NO LIMIT. SHE SAID THAT, I COULD HAVE 2 CATS, WITH NO ESA, & NO DEPOSIT.. ON SEPT 7, SHE ENTERED MY ROOM & LEFT ME A NOTE, STATING THAT THE RENT FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS WOULD BE $3205.28. I WAS IN SHOCK, SINCE SHE HAD TOLD ME ORIGINALY, THAT MY RENT WOULD BE FIXED AT $442. ON SEPT 8, I WAS GOING TO PAY FOR 2 WEEKS AT $442, A WEEK. ASAD SHAIKHJI, THE ASST. MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE RENT FOR 2 WEEKS WAS $3205.28. I WAS NOT INFORMED EARLIER & I HAD NO WHERE TO GO. BECAUSE OF THE SALESFORCE CONVENTION ALL THE HOTELS WERE BOOKED, UNLESS YOU WANTED TO STAY IN THE TENDERLOIN .AT OF THE GOODNESS OF HIS HEART, HE GAVE ME 1 NITE, AT THE EXPEDIA RATE. ON MONDAY, SEPT. 9. I CHECKED OUT AT 7:30 & GOT MY $100 DEPOSIT BACK.

A terrific budget place. Room was small and minimal but I slept well. They keep it quite clean. I enjoyed the coffee in the morning. There is lots of traffic on bush street if you are near there. 4 to 5 blocks to the Powell Bart station — I would exercise caution at night.

Great location
My second stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic. There is no parking but that is clearly stated and in any of the pricey hotels I've stayed in the area parking is +$40 per night. There are shared bathrooms but that is clearly stated upfront AND the bathrooms are spotless, I think they're cleaned throughout the day. Front desk is open 24/7 and friendly and helpful. I'll definitely stay there again.

Perfect for pre-cruise San Fran!
The Urban is a smidge more than a hostel, with small rooms and shared bathrooms… but the service was excellent and the location couldn’t be better. You are 200ft from Chinatown, just upstairs of Starbucks, and within 20 mins or so walking distance to the financial district with high end shops or to the ferry for further reach. The building is access-controlled so you are safe and everything was clean and comfortable. I absolutely would stay again!

I needed a cost effective and safe place to stay that was walkable to Moscone center and other evening events for a conference. I got in much earlier than check-in time and was able leave my bag at the desk, as well as had a quick check-in later that night. The room was small, but clean and had a sink and mirror in the room. It was also pretty quiet after 10pm. The shared bathroom and showers in the hall were usually empty when I needed them. The bathroom with the toilet and sink pretty clean, the shower area was not that clean, so glad I brought shower shoes.
