    The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They will help you find the good spots for dinner and brunch in the area. Location on Sutter street is convenient, 15min walk from Union Square.

    I like Joi hotels so we tried it. Love the decor. Our room was cozy. Location isn't bad. On the edge of being the seedy part of town if you happen to walk towards Union Square. But it was all good.

    Nice hotel overall but doesn't compare to Hotel Vitale (another SF JDV hotel). Staff are friendly, location is convenient, rooms are well appointed. 2 things I'd change: pillows + Air Conditioning!

    Incredibly thin walls: I could hear the man next door snoring (and farting).

    Pros: Cute hotel with quirky & helpful employees, free wifi and a snazzy wine hour. Cons: no A/C, thin walls and sketchy neighborhood. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

    Good budget hotel. Not fancy at all, but confortable enough and the reception desk team is more efficient and friendly than a lot of five stars out there.

    Excellent place to stay. Staff is beyond friendly and helpful. Rooms are new and clean. Great views and location. Very surprising considering it costs so little!

    Make the most of the free wine at 17:30. It's only for 30 minutes though, so get a couple of glasses in. Tip staff for a bigger glass. ;)

    It's more of a budget hotel with a fresh coat of paint than a place that's actually very nice.

    People with small dogs: this hotel will upgrade your small dog to a large dog if you ask politely at checkout. Otherwise, your dog will stay small.

    Decent hotel if you plan on only sleeping there. No air conditioning, so if it's a hot streak like it was with us, you're screwed. Hotel staff, however, is top notch! Very helpful and friendly.

    Really thin walls, I could clearly hear the next room's TV. The hotel looks pretty old too.

    Friendly staff, rooms are a bit old, manky carpets but otherwise clean. Lots of noise - both from street and other rooms. Free internet.

    People that work here are really nice. In the 809 room you can have a shower watching a bit of the city movement by the window.

    If you've used the valet, make sure you call at least 5 mins ahead, it takes a bit of time.

    This is not a good hotel!!! Horrible customer service. Unhelpful and rude staff. Weird smells in the room. Stay here if you like ice cubes - that's the only good thing I can say. Go elsewhere !!!

    Horrible beeping from elevator will keep you up at night and staff will pretend to not hear it.

    Rooms are cozy, beds comfortable, staff lovely but for breakfast you are better off heading to Farm to Table around the corner!

    Las habitaciones son lindas y amplias, sobretodo closet, hay un restaurant de comida Arabe. Lo malo: esta cerca de Union Square, barrio lleno de vagos de noche y se escucha TODO de las piezas del lado

    Excelente hotel, bem localizado, é possível ir a pé até a Union Square, ChessCake Factory, porém caso esteja de carro, precisará pagar um estacionamento particular na esquina do hotel.

    Carino, stile indiano x la media di s. Francisco ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo e buona posizione. Da evitare il ristorante arabo anche a colazione!
