The Opal San Francisco

Unser Zimmer war sehr klein und der Ferneseher machte komische Geräusche. Wir blieben jedoch nur eine Nacht, deshalb war es ok. Zum Zentrum kann man gemütlich 15 Minuten laufen. Es halten ca. 3 Buslinien in unmittelbarer Nähe. Ein Auto in SF ist nicht empfehlenswert!

This hotel is in a spot where it is easy to get everywhere. One negative is that it is not in a very lively area. There aren't too many restaurants, bars, shops etc immediately around the hotel, that's a negative in my opinion but not a deal breaker. Mel's diner is connected to the hotel, so you do have that option. We walked to Union Square (about a mile) and to Haight Ashbury (about 2.5 miles) from the hotel but there are also buses right outside the hotel door. The staff really makes this place, they are so helpful and accommodating. They gave us restaurant tips, printed something for us, transportation tips, etc. And for a free breakfast, its pretty darn good! We ate it early on before a nice brunch out. You have to eat breakfast out in San Fran, they do brunch very well in this city. The hotel itself is old (in a good way, lots of history, etc) and cute. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable. I will stay here again when I return to SF and I would recommend it to others.

Very clean and quite hotel. Service is very good. Also, very good breakfast. All in all, I will stay this hotel again if I visit San Francisco again in the near future.

The hotel is somewhat dated and showing its age. The rooms are large enough and lucky for us we got a room away from the noise of the main streets. Downside was the shampoo given was an extremely small container (not enough for two) and on top of that was fairly poor quality. We needed to shower again when we got home. The staff was friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was minimal.

It was a really good value when Hotels in the city were going for three times this amount during the Fancy Food Convention.

The Opal is an older but very clean and comfortable property. Although the hotel is 2 - 3 miles from downtown a 10 minute cab ride is very convenient. The staff at the Opay will go out of their way to make you feel at home and meet your needs. Mel's Diner adjoins the hotel property and has a great menu variety at reasonable prices. Be sure to try their burgers and milk shakes.... mmmmmm...

The Opal provides that 'old-time' feeling at a great price! It's a little distance from the bustling downtown, but easily accessible by bus. The staff was very friendly. The only draw-back, being an older hotel, was that you could hear your neighbor's room, but it wasn't a deterent that would keep us from re-booking for another weekend.

Overall the hotel stay was a pleasant experience, however the room had a funny smell. It's an old hotel and the room kinda smelled an old folks home but it went away for the most part after opening the window for a couple minutes. We had a King bed and the room was big enough. Bathroom was very small however, you had to close the door behind you in order to get to the sink. The continental breakfast was one of my favorite things, they had a pretty good spread. Overall it's a pretty good deal. Be prepared to pay $30 a day for hotel parking because San Fran has no parking anywhere unless its a garage or meter.

We'll definitely choose the Opal the next time we visit the city. Everything was great. The only minor complaint I have is that the bed was a little hard. After a few nights, I was quite sore. But the staff was very friendly and accommodating! See you all soon!

I am very glad I chose this hotel. It was my first time in San Francisco. I had planned the trip with 2 other people, but at the last minute they had to cancel and I went on my own. The hotel is located on a main street, only a few blocks from downtown. I felt safe at all times. You even need your room key to enter through the main door! If you are willing to walk around the city, don't even bother driving -traffic is insane, combine it with extremely high parking fees and tourists everywhere...!!!-. I bought a 3-day pass for $21, which allowed me unlimited rides on any of the various public means of transportation available. Great deal considering a one way ticket for the cable car is $6! There's a bus stop right in the corner of the hotel. It can't get any easier :) Anyway, my room was small, but clean and comfy. Staff was always nice and willing to help, but they didn't smile :( The continental breakfast they offer is very good and healthy enough. I would stay at this hotel again, without a doubt!
