Music City Hotel - The San Francisco Music Experience

Clean, quiet, safe, good location, and nice staff, with free coffee/tea and friuts

Very cute rooms! Our was covere din CCR and had a guitar and amp!

The staff is very accommodationing BUT NOT HANDIVAP ACCESSIBLE, VERY STEEP STAIRS

Very well designed hostel. Good facilities, capsules provide lots of privacy. Nice tea and coffee selections.

Really great and accomidated me and my service dog NO ELEVATOR STEEP STAIRS

Pretty rad set up. Loved the guitar. Nice lady at the desk

Great theme - worth the trip just for the rock & roll museum, and live music. It is also a studio rental space, hotel, hostel, a restaurant & bar. Everything was clean and the staff was very nice. Unfortunately, the bar and restaurant were not open. Unfortunately, I also had to check out right away because the hostel spaces couldn't accommodate the "old person" mobility issues I had requested. Lots and lots of stairs, low beds, accessable plugs etc

The Music City Hotel was amazing. We had such a good time. We got to stay in the Metallica room, awesome! We even had a guitar and amp to play! Comfortable and clean rooms, rock and roll everywhere. Great showers, and clean bathrooms. Centrally located in the city, so we were able to use the public transportation, like the cable cars! Parking lot next door, I was able to leave my car. So many restaurants and shopping All around, fun in every direction. One day is certainly not enough time to enjoy all that is available and close by. We will return!

It’s great that you can play the guitar and amp in the room. The bathrooms are fine, but the electronic key opens the door even if someone is in there. They should have a manual lock on the inside so nobody can enter while you are in there

I chose to give this hotel a good rating because it delivered exactly what was advertised at a decent rate in a location that we convenient to what I wanted to do in SF. That said, there are a few things I wish I had taken into account before choosing it that have to do with me more than the property itself. For starters, this is probably not the top pick for someone with mobility issues or who has trouble with stairs. If there is an elevator in the building it was evidently not operating during my stay, and accessing the front desk and guest rooms involved several flights of pretty steep stairs with baggage -- so just be prepared. Second, the hotel staff is very nice and helpful, but there is no one on-site overnight. For me this became an issue when an alarm went off in the hallway outside my room about 5 a.m. When I called the after-hours number, they advised me to ignore it and so the alarm kept going til the morning crew arrived. Finally, future guests should note there is not really a common area, so people staying in the shared hostel rooms tend to use the hallways for personal phone calls etc. and the noise does carry. These are not criticisms, just a heads-up for people who may be a tad more comfortable in a more traditional American-style hotel set-up. This is not that, but it is an interesting, quirky and comfortable place at a good price near interesting attractions, music venues, etc. and not too far from Union Square.

Great place! Live music fun atmosphere and the rooms are clean and welcoming. Comfortable beds and linens.

Clean, comfortable, and well managed as usual

Clean, well maintained, capsules are private, nice venue downstairs, nice amenities

I love small spaces so the place is nice, however, there is trouble with cleanliness on my part. I will not entirely fault the hotel staff but they can definetely do a better job

The overall condition of the place is run down and dirty. My bedding was not in good shape: pilled and the duvet cover had a busted zipper. Holes in the curtains. Dingy smelling overall. Also, very loud until late- little insulation between the music rehearsal spaces and the bedrooms. Seems to be sparsely used as a hotel or hostel, however, as I was alone in my dorm room three or four nights.

Super gross and poor communication that was very stressful :,-(

I'm embarrassed to just now be riding a review for this fantastic place. I've stayed here a great number of times. The front desk office staff are so friendly and yet professional. I'm from hospitality and retail experience, so I know very well customer service. This staff have a natural ability for this customer service. I've seen several times in person them handling numerous situations at one time. They give the term multitasking a new definition. The housekeeping staff are not only friendly and you're always smiling, but are so thorough and maintaining impeccable cleanliness. They're fresh fruit coffee and tea are always a comfort treat. That huge photos of the Bay area music legends are so cool. I grew up with most of these bands, and always enjoy your trip down memory lane when viewing these. I'm so excited for the new addition downstairs to open. I can't say enough about these friendly professional cool hip folks. Oh one more thing. The music that plays over the speakers is so cool. I have Shazam so much of this music over time that I have a fat library of new material to listen to. Whenever The pointer sisters OR Sylvester plays, watch out baby cuz I'm going to be dancing.

Well maintained and very accommodating. Room was clean, bathroom was clean and staff was very helpful

No one responded to expedia messages or emails. Communication is terrible. It says hotel in the title but it's not a hotel. It really is a hostel. 2nd floor is actually the 3rd floor. Good luck if your luggage is wide or heavy. No one helps you. Arrived and the desk person was on a dinner break so we waited along with others for over 20 mins. 7:30am it was noisy with someone playing music in the bathroom which I heard through my private bathroom door thru another closed door. Loud noise thru 2 closed doors! There's a huge gap under the room door so you can hear everything in the hallway and they can hear you. The desk people apologized but really... What can they do?!

Well there wasn’t much of a view but I did enjoy my peace!!

Very cute rooms! Our was covere din CCR and had a guitar and amp!

You get what you pay for. Great location, but it is downtown noisy

Music lover’s heaven. You have to check out all pictures and music. The room itself is clean and comfortable. Great privacy with blackout curtains.

Bed foams were worn down / needs replacement.

Being next to a hospital meant lots of noise from emergency vehicles. Also, on the edge of the Tenderloin so not super safe feeling at night but fortunately I was just a couple blocks from my friend's property. For the price, not too bad.

Stayed in the capsule bed option and I'd do it again for the value! Was a little vary at first, but it's just other regular people trying to get by in a cheap way. Room was as expected for the price - can't knock it for giving me what I paid for! Note that all bathrooms are communal but they're all private and locked by deadbolt(/keycard for

Originally booked the hostel option but decided to upgrade to a private room. Fun property with really cool memorabilia and social concept. Jason at the front desk was super helpful and accommodating, thank you!

Staff was super friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Place was nicely decorated and had no complaints the entire time.

Staff was great, room was nice

Staff is very helpful

Thank you Bryan (on duty front desk receptionist for accomodating my request that night).

Reception and other staff are friendly and responsive.

The music decor was very cool. We stayed in the Metallica room. They had pictures of various San Francisco bands and a brief history about them. The shared bathroom was a different experience but not bad. The check in hostess was amazing and very friendly. There is live music downstairs to enjoy at no extra charge.

The most convenient place to stay.

I have lived in San Francisco for the past 30 years, and I know the city changes from block to block. The music city hotel is the perfect alternative to stay in the city on and off without paying lots of money. The area is very nice, many good restaurants and pubs. Night life as well, dispensaries and more. Overall, I love this place.

My stay here was great! A quick place to stay and it’s near the bus transportation to get to other locations in SF.

You get what you pay for. Great location, but it is downtown noisy

Nice safe place to stay for the night

This Hotel was very convenient and within walking distance of places I need to go to. I would recommend it.

Very well designed hostel. Good facilities, capsules provide lots of privacy. Nice tea and coffee selections.

Lifting people with positive couture and music encouragement, as well as weekly music events available although I missed, plus god coffee and tea.
