I constantly go to the city for work and this is the go-to place I stay at. They remember you and are so kind about it. They have this at-home family feel that you just can't find anywhere else, especially for it being a hotel in the city.

There was no ac or even a fan to circulate air in the room. Tried to open the window to get some cool air to come in, and window almost fell out. Just suffered for seven days.

Super clean room and friendly staff. Only issue was a barking dog, but that only happened on one afternoon. Overall, you can’t beat the price for a safe, clean room, comfortable bed, friendly staff and an excellent coffee/espresso machine in the lobby!

Great location, old, rundown and not very clean. Worst of all is the room facing the street has plastic windows and it is SO loud

Im not one who likes to spend a lot on hotels the Casa Loma is cheap for San Francisco so don’t expect to much, but the beds are clean as are the showers

No hot water

Awesome little budget stay in the Fillmore district. Close to multiple points of interest, but not busy or super gross like some parts of the area. This is a no-frills great place to stay with phenomenal customer service and staff. They did their best to get us into our room early, since we were going to a concert in the area that started before check-in time. The front desk woman taught us how to use the public transit in the area for free and simple and it absolutely saved us on the way to the venue and home when ubers were impossible to get. The room was the definition of function, extremely tiny, but well laid out and literally had everything you need. Microwave, closet, refrigerator, blow dryer etc. The carpet and fixtures were dated, if you care about that sort of thing. I was impressed with how well kept all of this was, my biggest praise was the cleanliness of the room. The carpet was clean, and didn't leave filth on your feet when you walk across it after a shower. The bedding was crisp and clean and there was great attention to detail with the cleanliness of the entire room. Like a lot of the smaller niche hotels in the area, there was no air conditioning, but the front desk supplied us with a fan when we asked, which was a game changer. The shower did only have one sliding glass panel, so it was a little messy, but it was a minor inconvenience.

Everyone there is very sweet and accommodating will definitely be going back.

The location is nice! Right in the city and walking distance to nightlife. The rooms are very tiny and no AC. It’s gets very hot and stuffy. You can open the window but it smells like you are in a sewer and very loud from street noises.

Our bathtub was backed up so whenever we showered the water would be at ankle level!! The mattress on the bed was stained, the window screen was completely broken and left outside in the terrace. The walls were chipping, the headboard was stained and had some funky residue stuck on it. Overall not the best.

Lobby and common area tired, room tiny but clean and nice.

This hotel was put into an old building. And, the owners did a good job of making it work in that building. But, there are some weaknesses that might matter to some travelers. First, being old, the floors were not level, including the stairway and the tub. It could be a problem for people who is not sure on their feet. Second, the beds were shorter than normal beds. I am not a tall person, but if I was 2 inched taller I don't think I would have fit comfortably. So, if one is sure on one's feet and one is not particularly tall, and this is the part of SF one wants to be in, then this is a great choice. Otherwise it might be better to look elsewhere.

Nice centrally located spot for an SF short stay. Inerior single room with shared bath was a good night's sleep.

I knew there wasn’t AC when I booked (in mid August), so it’s Casa Loma’s fault, but the room got hot at night. I had to keep the window open throughout the night, and unfortunately the street noise was extremely loud. We downloaded a pink noise app and kept it on high all night to mask out most of the traffic. Other than that, it’s a decent place to stay.

Area seems safe and decent but no parking. Hotel room is remodeled (queen bed w/private bath). Room was small and felt authentic. That frisco city feel for sure not like big corporate hotels. Would stay here again. The coffee machine was good and the kind gentleman on the morning shift was nice.

Stay there every time we’re in SF. Convenient walking to work and restaurants, and a quick Waymo ride to anywhere you want to go.

Hard to find parking on the street

Area was very nice and quite. However we did not have AC access in the unit. Still worth though

The kindest staff. They are welcoming, friendly and most importantly helpful.

I’ve had my family stay here twice when they visit me in SF and they love it.

Worth for the price.

I've been staying at the Casa Loma for over 12 years since I left the West Coast. I'm giving the hotel five stars based on what it is: a simple European style, no-frills hotel. It's super clean, the staff is very helpful and accommodating, and it's very well-located, at the border between the Lower Haight and Hayes Valley. It's in an authentic neighbourhood only a block from Alamo Square Park where the "Painted Ladies" are located. Since my 2023 visit, the hotel has upgraded their service: you can now get daily housekeeping at no extra charge if you want it. It's one of the only hotels (of any class) located outside of the downtown areas. Believe me, as a former San Franciscan and a regular visitor, there is no reason to stay in the city's downtown, except maybe easy access to Chinatown and North Beach. Better to stay in a neighbourhood where San Franciscans actually live and enjoy the best of what the city has to offer.

Clean and great location.

Well the place felt safe it was locked up and it was very clean and cheap they had coffee and it was just an overall nice place

Location was goood. Hotel was good. My only issue was the room given to me was at the corner of an intersection so it was insanely noisy. If you get room 206 ASK to switch. The windows are very thin and not a second goes by where you arent hearing cars driving

There is not enough space around the sink bathroom, bathroom door would often slide on its own, and parking is complicated especially when is M-F. The place does not have their own parking lot so I had to look around the neighborhood for parking spaces. I have to say the best was the cleaning crew.

Staff was great and helpful. Bathroom is super clean. Rooms are clean. Although the rooms are hot as there are no central AC, and some rooms don't have ceiling fan. However, you can request for a portable fan if needed. I'll recommend it, and I'll stay there again

Quaint and convenient location!

Overall one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in but the one thing I would say is the AC should’ve been added to all rooms, there was no access to turn on nor front desk wanted to adjust to help.

I like my room is clean but it seems that some bad smell from shared bathrooms. The noise at night is bad.

Perfect for spending a night in the city

Okay, so where to start. I could look past the no elevator, the very thin walls, and the nearby shared bathrooms that allowed the halls to smell like waste. But what I could not look past was the bed filled with black hair. I asked to switch rooms because I figured, maybe this room was a fluke and they forgot to wash the bedding. On to the next room I go, same situation. The bed had hair everywhere, short ones and long ones, but all black so I appreciated that consistency. I pick them off the bed because at this point I'm exhausted and have no where else to go. I take a trip to the bathroom in my room (which I paid extra for), which I had the delight of seeing (more) hair all over the floor. Either there is a very hairy housekeeper going around shedding, or they are not cleaning their rooms. Anyways, one pro is its in a great location.
