Great Place for the Price

The Castle Inn is a great place to stay for people who don't spend much time at their hotel. The location is good, easy walk to the Warf and close to the Trolly line. The staff was very nice and very helpful!

Free Parking!

Last minute booking, great rate. They did charge, then refund $25 to my credit cart as deposit. Free parking was tight - but free parking at a great rate can not be beat. Room was OK, no luxury, but great for my stay.

It was ok...

Location is great, but certain staff members were rude. Do not expect HOTEL hospitality. Also, parking is VERY limited.

Good location

This is a very basic hotel. It is fine if you are only sleeping and showering and not spending time in the room. The breakfast consists of nutrigrain bars, muffins, and coffee with non-dairy creamer.

My review of Castle Inn

The hotel staff was amazing! Upon arrival the front desk staff oriented us to the surroundings and allowed us to check in quickly. The hotel is very central to everything. The parking is free! The hotel is older and needs to be updated and renovated, but it is clean and has space.

Great location and price

The Castle Inn is definitely one of the best hotels we stayed. The location was also the best, they offer free parking, so we parked our car in the hotel premises and walked to all the attractions in Fisherman's Wharf. For other attractions we used the hop-on hop-off bus (ticket valid for 2 days).We travelled with our 3 yr old daughter and parents and it was well suited to all our needs. What we liked abt this hotel was that the bathroom was separate from the vanity area with a sink. It came with a m/w & fridge whihc was very welcome. Overall we had a wonderful experience

Good Value

Room clean. Bed and pillows not that great, but we were only there for one evening. If you want a great romantic dinner in the area, the Harris Restaurant is only a block away. Even though we were not dressed appropriately for the establishment, the staff was very friendly and food excellent. Back to the hotel. We could hear the people above us, but wasn't that big a deal. Best part = free parking on the premises.

Great Location

Simple motel but great location. Short walk to everything. Restaurants are steps away from the motel as is a Walgreens. We were a little disapointed as no breakfast was served. Staff were all very friendly. Great to have a fridge & microwave in the room.

A Great Stay

The Castle Inn provided us a good room and in a great Russian Hill location with parking and a very decent continental breakfast included. Short walk to a number of restaurants, some with outstanding food at reasonable prices. Warm and friendly management pleased to help you make the most of your San Francisco stay. Walk to Fisherman's Wharf and North Beach. Frequent buses just down street to anywhere in town. Or convenient to use auto to wine country, Carmel, etc.
