Across many reviews, travellers describe Grant Hotel as a budget-friendly, no-frills base near Union Square with very friendly staff, clean if dated rooms, and appreciated extras like morning pastries plus coffee and tea available around the clock.
The location is praised for easy access to cable cars, transit and nearby neighborhoods, though the uphill walk can be steep. Common drawbacks include thin walls, dated furnishings, intermittent maintenance issues (elevator outages, water/heat problems), and some reports of uncomfortable beds and musty odors; air conditioning is not typical. Parking across the street or via valet is convenient for many, though a few found the process confusing. Expect a simple, central stay with good value and kind service.

Staff very pleasant and attentive and facility was clean and quiet. Morning pastries and anytime coffee and tea was nice. Only issue was that the elevator stopped working during our stay, but the staff offered to carry luggage up or down stairs.

The front desk was very nice and helpful. If you’d like to checkout and leave luggage at the front they will lock it up safely. Parking is the best in the city with the valet being only 35 dollars for 24 hours. I had no issues parking there even with my valuables still in the car. The only complaint I have is that the king sized bed was two twin mattresses put together. Hotel was sufficiently clean. Best deal in San Francisco and would 10/10 recommend for anyone traveling to the city by car. It’s only a few blocks away from Chinatown and Little Italy. We were even able to walk to fisherman’s wharf. Best deal ever!!!

We always stay here when attending a concert at The Masonic. We come up from Monterey. It is always what we expect, it is simple and basic, but always clean, and the staff are great. The yummy breakfast (included), doesn't hurt either. The parking right across the street is convenient and the staff there are also great. Then we just take a Uber to the concert. Win, win!

A great no frills spot in an excellent location,parking was a good deal/price with the garage accross the street. Best bargain in this part of the city. I walked and rode Muni buses everywhere I wanted to go. But beware the incline getting back up Powel, if it's too much for you grab the Muni or a cable car. Nothing fancy, but super friendly and helpful staff, clean, comfortable and safe. Walk to so many great food and drink options. I will be recommending the Grant for my budget travel friends. If you want a room with a view prepare to pay three times their price, or more. If you plan to explore the city and need a quiet place to sleep - Hotel Grant is your best bet.

We loved this hotel. The selling point was the 24/7 coffee/tea/hot cocoa in the lobby. Parking was a breeze. Parking structure directly across the street. Area around the hotel is safe compared to a few blocks over.

I thought the hotel me and my friend stay at was good. There was a shows playing at the Masonic and was 7 minute walk. So I booked the hotel there. The parking was confusing because we had to check and pay in the front desk. But had to go to the parking lot and back to the hotel to register. But, other than the parking it was good hotel.

The hotel is in a good location, although the climb up the hill to it is steep. It’s close to cable car stops and within 10 min walk to BART train station on Powell st for trains to/from the airport .Union Square is very close by. The hotel itself is basic but clean, with daily clean towels if needed. There are tea and coffee facilities at reception as well as a microwave, computer and ice/water machine. Staff were friendly and accommodating. It was quiet at night and the bed was very comfy. I would definitely stay again .

Generally there were two complaints: The carpeting was very badly stained; so much so, I slept on the other side of the bed because it was less stained on that side. The bed was clearly inferior as well.

We stayed for four nights, as a family of three. The hotel is in a great location for Union Square, cable car, trams and the BART. The room rate includes pastries at breakfast, which there were plenty of options. There was also coffee, tea and water available 24/7. The rooms were extremely clean, the bedroom was of good standard, the bathroom a little dated and fixtures/fittings (like the soap dispenser) need an overhaul. The staff are great and extremely friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

If you are looking at this hotel, there is only one reason to consider it: the price. It is one of the few budget hotels on the area. It isn't totally awful, but there are things they could do better. My biggest complaint is the bed: it felt sleeping on a sheet of plywood. I stayed in 5 hotels/motels during my trip to California and this was the very worst bed. If the owners could replace the mattresses, this might make for an OK place to stay. I will probably look for a different hotel on my next San Fran visit. It is up a very steep climb a few blocks from Chinatown - but most of San Francisco is quite hilly. I wear earplugs when I sleep. There wasn't street noise, but you can hear noise like people walking about if you are on a lower floor. In the morning they offer pastries, that look like the type sold bulk at many big box retailers. They have one pod coffee machine that guests have to line up at to make individual cups of coffee. I don’t know why they don’t just get a large coffee urn which would make better coffee & be more convenient. The rooms are serviceable and kept clean, with daily housekeeping - but they are pretty beat up. The washroom seemed renovated & was good.

I couldn’t ask for more - $100 /night for Union Square location, clean room, working bathroom, working Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast and round-the-clock tea/coffee/water! Apart from the loud heating pipes in the room, it really did its job for my 5D/4N stay in San Francisco. Thank You to the gentleman at the reception who was kind enough to offer us takeaways upon our early check-out at 5 am. I’ll be back!

Safe area a few blocks from Chinatown in one direction and Union Square in another, and just a few buildings away from a cable car stop. We didn’t see any homeless people on this road during our 3 night stay (but we saw many as we approached Union Square, however no one made us feel unsafe.) We asked for quiet rooms and were checked into a room on the side of the building overlooking a wall (which was what we wanted rather than traffic noise). However for light sleepers like me, please note that the walls within the hotel are very thin and we could hear the people above us having conversations till 2am the first two nights of our stay, and a baby crying elsewhere in the building. The rooms are spacious and overall I would recommend.

Cheap and good location but some negatives. Room is very outdated, no kettle / coffee maker, fridge, or microwave. Only one pillow each on the bed (which wasn't the comfiest). Hot water tap would spout out black flakey bits occasionally which was a bit concerning. Ironing board was completely wonky and hard to use. Corridors are quiet smelly from the old carpet. Staff are great and it's fairly cheap compared to others. It's my second time staying, I wouldn't be against returning but I'd certainly consider other hotels first. Appreciated the 12pm check out time.

It had a great city view and was in the perfect location. The walking was a bit up and downhill but transportation nearby was very accessible otherwise. It was very close to restaurants and Union Square. The service was wonderful and they offered free pastries every morning 7-10am and free coffee, tea, water, and ice 24 hours. Check in and check out were both straightforward. Overall great stay.

I felt very comfortable here and would absolutely stay here again! They also provide free tea & coffee 24/7 and they have pastries available for breakfast in the morning (though it appears none of them are vegan). Thank you for a wonderful stay! (Be warned that the hills near the hotel are quite intense!)

Amazing staff. Very accommodating and polite. I left my keys at the hotel and they helped me get them back to Sacramento. The sushi spot next door was great also. I recommend the black and white roll.

Location
Location earns consistent praise: steps from Union Square, cable cars and transit, walkable to Chinatown and other sights. Several note the steep hill back to the hotel; many felt the immediate area was comparatively safe.

A good hotel in a good area. Not 5 star luxury but you wouldn’t expect that at Grant prices. Convenient for Union Sq and cable cars only 1 block away. Coffee available be free all day. Car parking opposite but as you would expect in SF it’s not cheap but is very convenient. Overall it great budget hotel.

The location of the property just off union square was great. The hotel itself is in need of refurbishment and whilst the rooms were fairly clean they did smell damp in places.

It had a great city view and was in the perfect location. The walking was a bit up and downhill but transportation nearby was very accessible otherwise. It was very close to restaurants and Union Square. The service was wonderful and they offered free pastries every morning 7-10am and free coffee, tea, water, and ice 24 hours. Check in and check out were both straightforward. Overall great stay.

We stayed for four nights, as a family of three. The hotel is in a great location for Union Square, cable car, trams and the BART. The room rate includes pastries at breakfast, which there were plenty of options. There was also coffee, tea and water available 24/7. The rooms were extremely clean, the bedroom was of good standard, the bathroom a little dated and fixtures/fittings (like the soap dispenser) need an overhaul. The staff are great and extremely friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location, conveniently close to Union Square with a short walk down the hill to the Stockton Tunnel stairs. I came into the City for a Warriors game, and caught the #15 Muni bus that takes one directly to the Chase Center. In suite bath, and morning pastries and coffee were also a great benefit. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful!

The hotel is in a good location, although the climb up the hill to it is steep. It’s close to cable car stops and within 10 min walk to BART train station on Powell st for trains to/from the airport .Union Square is very close by. The hotel itself is basic but clean, with daily clean towels if needed. There are tea and coffee facilities at reception as well as a microwave, computer and ice/water machine. Staff were friendly and accommodating. It was quiet at night and the bed was very comfy. I would definitely stay again .

The rooms/hotel are quite outdated but my room was clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly/helpful. Breakfast was provided but the croissants were not good and there was no milk but I didn't even realise breakfast was included so this didn't affect my stay. I'd definitely stay again - good value for money.

I loved my stay here! The Grant Hotel is an old building, but it’s been well-maintained. My room had everything I needed and the staff was very kind. I felt very comfortable here and would absolutely stay here again! They also provide free tea & coffee 24/7 and they have pastries available for breakfast in the morning (though it appears none of them are vegan). Thank you for a wonderful stay! (Be warned that the hills near the hotel are quite intense!)

So this isn't a super modern chain place like we often stay when traveling, but it's a great option in San Francisco. It is an older place but was very clean and well maintained. My first impression was that it was like something you might find in Europe, and then I discovered that pretty much all of my fellow guests actually were European! The breakfast pastries were fresh daily. There was an ice and water machine in the lobby. The location was very convenient for reaching a lot of the areas we wanted to visit by either foot or public transportation. We absolutely would stay here again if we needed to stay in San Francisco. My only complaint is that there wasn't nearly enough seating for breakfast in the mornings... But the lobby area is small, so there's probably not much help for that.

Fantastic breakfast with lots of different types of yummy pastries. We stayed two nights, went to Yosemite for a night, then returned for another night at Grant Hotel. The staff were happy to hold our luggage for us (chained to a post in the reception area) while we were at Yosemite which was very handy, and it was also just a 5 minute walk to our tour bus departure point. The rooms were lovely and location was good.

Overall a decent hotel for the price, pastries available in the morning from 7-10am, although I left the building at 6 and they were already available, thankfully! The hotel is old, the room doesn’t have aircon, it has a ceiling fan. The TV is a little dated. The room is spacious and bed is clean and comfortable, although I did see a stain on the sheet under the mattress. The bathroom is spacious but needs an update, its age is showing badly. Wifi was decent, the password changes on a Friday. Biggest annoyance was the fact you can hear people in the hallway and in their rooms and the shower head in my bathroom kept falling down while I was showering which was annoying. Besides that, nice place. It is near a seven-11 where the homeless like to congregate for some reason (its a street away), but also some nice places to eat, like Lori’s diner.

Pretty old building, it has no fridge, very small beds, it has no A/C, after a certain time at night there is no one in the lobby to help you with questions or simply with the check out and payment of the parking lot, for the price I paid, it does not seem fair to me this hotel is overrated.
