“Good location, great staff and very clean.”

Good location, it very central and had easy access to everything I wanted to do. The staff were also so lovely and very accommodating!

“Ok for short stay. Beware of the neighborhood.”

The room was quite comfortable and clean. All we needed for a night stay. We arrived early, they allowed us to go to our room sooner than the standard check-in time. The place is well-located, with easy access to restaurants, bars, and public transportation.

“Amazing!”

The warm welcome from the same family is incredible. They are very attentive to everything you need. I highly recommend the Layne Hotel. Thank you.

“Bargain room in central location in family run hotel”

So refreshing to stay somewhere family run, real people who take active care in your stay in an authentic old school way - feels rare these days. Rooms are simple and well equipped with an ironing board, hairdryer, desk, mirror and personal sink. Location is close to the craziness of downtown, but very conveniently located for everything SF - stonethrow from union square. For this price you really cant beat it. Randy went above and beyond to provide local information and support.. he even put me on a separate female floor so I’d feel comfortable as a solo traveller. The building is proper SF style with the fire escapes and everything - with an old school lift with the cross cross shutters like in an art movie lol. Thanks for my stay.

Good money value

“Excellent value for money close to all sights and public transport”

Rooms and shared bathrooms are very clean and comfortable, the staff is very friendly and welcoming. The interior is not the newest, but in good shape. Overall it's excellent value for money! Public transport is close, comes frequently and is affordable, most sights are in walking distance.

“Lovely beds very comfortable clean and tidy”

Was great value for money and staff were extremely helpful

“Great value, clean and comfy”

Nice, quaint classical San Francisco hotel with comfortably firm bed and sink in room. Great value for money as the hotel is clean the maids are polite and the gentleman on the front desk is full of tips on how to make your stay go smoothly. The front reception is manned 24hours.

“All okey - I recomended this hotel”

Hotel in downdown in city center so everywhere is close. Have elevator so you dont have to pick up your bags to the 5 floor on staris :) Staff very helpful and nice the hotel met my expectations and even exceeded them. Rooms are big, beds okey and big, there is a internet, fridge, microvave and place where you can shave or clear your teeth I rcomended this place !

“Didn't feel safe due to surrounding area”

Generally satisfactory room. Worlds narrowest radiator was cute.

“central and affordable”

Located exactly where I wanted to be, the building is nice and, even if old, well maintained, there is enough space in the room and the night was quiet

Very friendly staff!

“Lovely!”

The front desk was open 24/7 manned by a lovely family, with helpful tips. The room felt safe and cozy. Lots of storage space.

“Great Downtown Hotel, lovely family run hotel.”

I didn't leave my heart in San Francisco but I did fall a bit in love with the city. Staying with Randy and his family in Downtown was the perfect place to explore all S.F. has to offer. Yes there are homeless people on Jones Street but there are homeless everywhere. They don't care about you, they don't even see you. I intend to visit S.F. again and I will try and stay here again. Great early morning coffee from Skullery on Geary St.

* great value for money * super friendly n helpful receptionist * close to union square * clean room with all the basic facilities

Great value for the price, close to the city center, 24 hour front desk, quite comfortable bed. I also appreciated the possibility to leave my bags till the evening at the front desk. Shared bathroom was clean. Even though it is on the edge of neighborhood with homeless people and drug addicts, the hotel and the whole block around felt safe. And staff at the front desk told me where to go and what areas to avoid.

“Great price, great location and great staff”

Very friendly staff and very good price to stay in SF.

“Value for money here is difficult to beat, will definitely stay here again given the chance”

Super conveniently located near Union Square. Rooms are spacey and fully equipped as pictured. Shared toilets and showers were always spotless. And the hosts were lovely and very kind

Excellent location at a great price.

“It’s okay.”

Affordable, but shop around.
