The Powell Hotel - San Francisco

Alt i alt ingen klager, tværtimod. God beliggenhed, rent og pænt, og meget venligt personale og højt serviceniveau. Kan anbefales.

Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

Powell Hotel er superbiliggende,downtown San Francisco. Hotellet er noget slidt,der er stor forskel på værelserne og rengøringen lader noget tilbage at ønske.

Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

Forvent ikke luksus. Vores værelse havde udsigt til en skakt. Intet køleskab og lidt tvivlsom rengøring. Meget hjælpsom reception og og rigtigt god placering med masser af spisesteder lige rundt omkring og tæt på offentlig transport. Et fint valg hvis man ikke lægger meget stor vægt på selve hotellet.

Da vi ankom til hotellet fik vi et værelse tildelt, hvor vindueskarmene var malet til, så ingen vinduer kunne åbnes, der var ingen udsugning på værelset, og der var ikke gjort ordentligt rent efter de forrige gæster (der lå bl.a. en efterladt tube creme på gulvet). Derudover var den direkte udsigt (og dominernede lydkilde) hotellets store centrale aircon-anlæg. Vi […] bad om et andet værelse, og fik det uden diskussion. Desværre måtte vi tilbage til receptionen 4 gange, før det lykkes manden i skranken at give os et nøglekort, der rent faktisk kunne låse døren op. Af de 4-5 ansatte vi havde kontakt med, var der kun én, der virkede kompetent og gik op i at yde service, Selvom den daglige rengøring af hotellet og værelset var fin nok, havde vinduer og vindueskarme ikke været rengjort i flere måneder! Til gengæld blev gangarealerne flere gange rengjort, højlydt, omkring kl. 23:30. Det gratis internet var ubrugeligt, da man enten ikke kunne få adgang til det, og når det en sjælden gang skete, var forbindelsen meget langsom. Internettet virker kun brugbart på fællesarealerne. Der er meget lydt på hele hotellet, og da vores værelse lå direkte over en af butikkerne i gadeplan, havde vi fornøjelsen af høj musik fra 8 morgen til 22 aften - hver dag. Dertil kom den generelle støj fra gaden, da vinduerne på ingen måde sluttede tæt, og derfor ikke gav nogen lydisolation. Hotellet ligger i udkanten af det "pæne" kvarter, og man skal kun ganske få gader sydpå, før man er i et meget utrygt og fattigt kvarter. Hotellet kan desværre ikke anbefales, da prisen på ingen måde afspejler det ringe niveau. Læs mere

Vi fik tildelt et værelse i et hjørne af bygningen, og der var usædvanlig koldt denne sommer, hvorfor vi frøs en del om natten. Værelset havde en meget lille radiator, men der var ikke tændt for centralvarmen. Hotellets personale leverede dog straks en varmeblæser til værelset, og det klarede problemet. Dobbeltsengene er meget små i såvel længde som […] bredde, jeg måler selv 1,85 og havde mine tæer stikkende ud over fodenden. Det var ikke rart. Restauranterne i området, John's Grill og Puccini og Pinetti, er meget anbefalesesværdige. Hotellet tilbyder valetparkering, som det - ganske som alle andre hoteller i området - tager sig godt betalt for. Det er billigere selv at parkere bilen i et af de nærliggende parkeringshuse men se dig godt for. Tilbuddene, husene skilter med, er uigennemskuelige og gælder eksempelvis ikke parkering i flere dage og natten over. Læs mere

Fint hotel, med små, men fine værelser og behageligt stort badeværelse... Fri adgang til internet. Selvom der ikke er køkken på hotellet, kan der købes morgenmad i en integreret cafe i hotellets lobby. Sporvognene kører lige uden for døren, ligesom butikker for enhver smag...

Just in the middle of "down town". Nice place. Old hotel, but they had done renovation an maked them an dark, slowly okey style. No noice. Maybee to little bathroom. We were 4 people, but best for 2 only. Clean and nice people. You can walk and do not need taxi to many important places. Included restaurants, cable car, chinatown.ect

The hotel is fairly old and has suffered a bit the test of time, although the staff all were very kind and hospitable. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is a bit of a double-edged sword as it is central to so much of amazing SF, but unfortunately, that section of the Tenderloin is pretty sketchy after nightfall.

-very nice lobby area. Happy hour and breakfast are a nice added bonus. Lighting in room very dim and limited. Wish tv could be angled toward bed.

Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

The staff was great. The hotel is old and it shows even though they try to hide it. The room had a faint musty smell. My window was right above the cable car turn around and it was quite noisy. You have no control over the heat/air. The location is convenient to everything downtown. Okay breakfast and good manager's reception each evening.

Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

About as convenient as you can get (half a block from Powell Street BART and cable cars), it was also great value (the rate included wifi and a basic continental help-yourself breakfast). My room was basic but clean and comfortable. Shower only, no bathtub.

Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

Biggest problem is that the rooms don't have air conditioning. The hotel is cute and clean. The rooms are tiny, but small. One thing that cuts both ways is that the rooms look down directly on the cable car turn...which is VERY cute, but also VERY noisy until around 10:00pm every night.

Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

Everything was great except for two things: 1) I assumed there was AC - there wasn't; 2) We had a very early flight in the morning. Before going to bed, the concierge assured me that it would be outside and ready. When I called the following morning, a new concierge answered, said he knew nothing about it, and was very rude. He then called back and […] said that he found the note but, of course, he never apologized. Læs mere

I like that the Powell is conveniently steps away from shopping stores and across the street from the Westfield Mall. The hotel is generally well kept and up to date. There is no central a/c, but you can ask front desk to bring you a fan (which was dusty/dirty). There was a patch of paint peeling on the wall, but otherwise the carpet, bedding and furniture […] were very well kept. Parking rate is a little lower than average rates for SF. The staff is very friendly, professional and helpful. Warning: Do not go west of the hotel on Taylor!!!!! Stay EAST of the Hotel! Læs mere

The Powell is conveniently located and "refurbished" enough to briefly mask its significant inadequacies. My room smelled of smoke. Paint peeled from the walls. Any refurbishment was done not to increase comfort but to create a temporary visual distraction from what was otherwise quite yucky. I would not go back.

Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

But that's it. The room was really out of date, and the breakfast an insult. Expensive for what it is.

If it's convenience to the heart of SF you're looking for, you can't beat The Powell. It's at the end of the cable car line, across from the Westfield Shopping Center, short walking distance to Union Square and close to Metro & Bart lines. There are tons of restaurants close by. The rate and location override the age of the property. It's old and dark, […] but clean, and the old doors slam really loudly. These facts do not deter from a pleasant stay. This place is not fancy or elegant but it is competely fine for a trip to a busy city. Læs mere

Can't ask for a better deal, 110$ for a small but nice room (no a/c though) on the corner of Market and Powell...

Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

This hotel is right next to the cable car hub and in the middle of shopping lover's heaven. The hotel is older but renovated with a lot of character. The rooms aren't fancy, but if you're in the middle of downtown SF, I highly doubt you'll be spending a lot of time in your room. The walls are thin, so if you're a light sleeper, good luck. Friendly staff. […] Upon check-in I found out that the wrong type of room was booked (2 twins instead of 1 queen). This was immediately fixed. I'll definitely be back. Læs mere

Price was great for this gem located downtown right in the middle of all the shopping you can handle. The Powell St. trolley car turnabout is right outside of the main entrance and stays packed full of tourist looking to ride or take pictures. Plenty of places to eat and bars within a 5 minute walk of the hotel and the hotel itself has a small deli […] with soups and sandwiches to go. Very courteous staff on hand and if you run into David working the front desk he is sure to take care of your every need. The only issue I had with the room was the mold around the bathroom window. Definitely will stay again when in San Francisco. Læs mere

Can't beat the location, right beside BART station for easy access to/from SFO. Cable car turnaround outside the door and Union Square 2 blocks away.

Excellent location, room clean and all basics provided. However, bedding featured an annoying plastic base sheet and the top blanket was thin - I had to request an extra after a very poor night's sleep.

The hotel has very historic feel with original stair railing, windows, high ceilings. It was classic San Francisco which is what we wanted, but it was not as nice as the pictures and price would suggest. We were comfortable and it was clean enough, but it was definitely a couple notches up from a motel. I know this, because if we had spent $20 more, […] we could have stayed somewhere really nice. They advertised free continental breakfast, but when we arrived in the lobby about 40 minutes before breakfast were to end, there were 20 people waiting for coffee and food, because they had run out of it all. After 15 minutes, a staff member came running in with some pre-packaged danishes. So we skipped it and went out from breakfast instead. I would still recommend this place because we were comfortable and the location is good, but I would advise to wait until the price was low. Læs mere

The Hotel is in a great location. The building is old and should be renovated to update rooms. Rooms need more electrical outlets and an extra floor lamp.

W knew nothing of San Francisco before we went but were glad we chose the Powell. We wanted to stay somewhere with access to transportation and restaurants because we weren't going to have a car.
