Where do I even begin ? The good old saying you get what you pay for really applies to this property. I came here for the San Francisco marathon, and i’d rather spend $ on souvenirs, merchandise, food than to spend it on a hotel boy was I ever wrong. Its’s located downtown SF don’t let that fool you though the area where it’s at is terrible, there’s homeless people & druggies in front of the property. I arrived to the hotel for a late check in at midnight (I couldn't leave from la any earlier because of school), oddly enough the hotel requires a ring to enter the facility. Literally was standing outside for 10 minutes next to homeless people & druggies, thankfully nothing happened but I was freaking out because I had luggage and my belongings with me. Inside it’s safe the room where I stayed was decent, I stayed in a king bed with a private shower, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and the shower was tiny. Outside was noisy with people yelling (my guess is the druggies & homeless people) , and sirens so I could hardly sleep. After a day I decided to switch hotels.. nothing against the hotel it was mainly the area it was in and how unsafe I personally felt. If you’re not worried about the environment around the hotel then go for it, otherwise I wouldn't risk staying there.

Best thing about this place is that it was located above an awesome dive bar. The Rumpus Room.

5 stars for friendly staff and being very clean. 1 star for no heat/cooling in room and noisy homeless people day and night on the street below. Combined score: 3 stars.

Great for the money. Very convenient to attractions and public transportation. Rooms, and shared bathroom/shower areas were very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Area can be a bit seedy late at night, but stay aware of your surroundings, mind your own business and you’ll be fine. Hotel itself is secure. I’d definitely stay here again.

Unable to check in. Stood on the street for 30 minutes trying to ring in from about 8:45-9:15pm. Called and texted the phone number. Eventually made a reservation at another hotel.

Pros: the staff are super helpful and accommodating. I was provided with an iron upon request, was able to do a cash deposit instead of card, and was provided with a space heater because I was cold. The price can’t be beat; and it is very convenient for transportation and walking. I also only saw one other guest so it felt very private despite having a shared shower and bathroom area. The shared spaces were very clean. Cons: the bed was so uncomfortable. I have stayed in shelters with better beds in my lifetime. I woke up super sore today. Also it was very cold. They said the radiator would kick on at a certain time but i never felt it. They provided me with a space heater that kept my room warm but the shared bathroom and shower area was still chilly. The room was in the condition you’d expect for $57 a night— clearly worn in but definitely clean. Overall I would be very likely to stay again if they replaced the mattresses.

The neighborhood was shoddy, but the hotel was secure and clean.

The elevator didn't work going down, and the immediate area in front & around "hotel" resembled a 3rd-world country (not touristy San Francisco)

Winsor is a hostel and not a hotel. If you want full amenities go to a hotel.

Clean and cheap. Better than hotels at the same price. The ceiling fan was making noise, and have to be turned off when I was going to sleep, but it was not a big problem.

I didn’t get his name but the guy at the reception desk was very nice and attentive. The room I got 310 was more than what I expected. Looks like it was renovate recently. Property is very central to everything in SOMA. There is a chicken place on the corner (chicken Gaia, I think) that sells great food. Overall very happy with my stay here.
