Cable Car Hotel

  : We loved our stay at the Cable Car Hotel in Knob Hill, San Francisco! We're kind of quirky people, and this is a quirky little hotel. We paid a bit extra for an ensuite bathroom (each floor has washrooms and bathrooms for the hostel-like rooms). The staff were all friendly and helpful. The place is an older Knob Hill house, but it's clean and comfy.BEST PARTS? A wonderful vegan cafe (Nourish) less than a minute's walk away on Hyde. A Trader Joe's kitty corner. A friendly pub next door for a quick drink after a long day at our conference. A half hour walk to the Moscone Convention Center. And, of course, it's right on a cable car route. We highly recommend Cable Car Hotel to anyone who prefers funky to concrete box.
  : Depending on who's staying there, it might not be the quietest night's stay, but the noise (it was happy noise) settled down in time for a good night's sleep. The elevator was out of order, so confirm that it's working if it's important to you.

  : Only the view
  : I booked this hotel for 2 nights, after the first night we left the hitel because of the environment, and im begging for the half of my money but nothing happens. The dispacher guys always do nothing.

  : Great to see the cable cars running outside on the street (we asked for a room with a view)! Nice room (nicer than the entrance area and corridors).
  : We could 't lock our window properly, so we had to leave it open a bit in oder to keep it locked and nobody could enter the room from outside. Just a view blocks away from the Tenderloin district where the Fentanyl epidemic is horrible at the moment. We saw persons in the Fentanyl fold standing on the street. I wouldn't recommend being outdoors there at night alone as a woman.

  : The location was ok and it hotel was close to shops and bars.
  : The hotel is very rundown, and most of the guests aren't tourists. The bath wasn't clean, so we didn't use that. Even though nothing happened, the place simply didn't feel safe and comfortable considering the price we paid. Someone was sick in the classic old style gage lift (elevator!). I mentioned this to the person at the reception area (if you can call it that!). He simply wasn't interested!!! You also get the odd drunk hovering around the outside of the hotel, and sometimes they wonder in. If you want a pleasant, comfortable stay somewhere, I wouldn't recommend this hotel.
