I stayed at Twin Peaks Hotel in August visiting from San Diego I travelled up and found this hotel which is in the heart of San Francisco, close to all public transit, all shops, neighborhoods and cities are readily accessible. Staff were incredibly friendly and my room was clean and cozy. I had an excellent stay and would highly recommend staying here if looking for a budget friendly but solid hotel option. read more

July 28, a front desk employee gave me a room with a pissy mattress. I was forced to go to my bank and take out cash for pet deposit for my service dog and I have disabilities. This was an awful experience. I don't recommend anyone staying at this hotel until they guarantee they have cleaned these beds and replaced the mattress covers with new ones. Eww gross! I called back today Sept 5, the front desk employee called me a bitch and hung up on me. The interaction with the employees and walking into that room feels like walking into a scary Haunted House on Halloween. read more

This place was terrible! If you're needing a place to stay for a few hours then maybe this is the place for you but if you want to spend the night good luck parking your car. What hotel doesn't provide any parking for guests and on top of it not be able to recommend any parking options? We were completely on our own and had to spend a ridiculous amount on an overnight parking lot that was a 18 minute walk from the hotel, on top of having to carry all our luggage... also if you're pregnant, there is no elevator and the bathroom is a very tight space. I'm in my third trimester and it was pretty inconvenient to say the least. Not wheelchair accessible either. Room had a funny smell, a cigarette butt was left on our windowsill, only one set of towels for 2 people. We left after our first night. Don't recommend at all. read more

I arrived four hours before check-in, and they agreed to let me into my room three hours earlier without charging extra. The staff was very polite and friendly. A one-minute walk from the hotel, there is a metro station that will take you to the city center in just a couple of stops. Overall, it's a quiet place, which is especially suitable if you're traveling alone. The bathroom and toilet were clean. There are many good restaurants right next to the hotel, and I liked the German bar with draft craft beer and sausages on the corner the most. Walgreens is right across the street. At check-out, I was allowed to leave my bag for storage without additional payment, and they also do not require a security deposit upon arrival. I plan to stay at this hotel for my next trip. I recommend it! read more

Twin Peaks Hotel - Hotels Near Me - San Francisco, California

Twin Peaks is a simple, no-frills hotel in a great location. The restrooms are shared, but this was the best deal in the Castro area. read more

The place is a dump I thought I had booked a room with a private bath, but all I got was a room with a hall bath and toilet I had to walk out to use They gave me a key to a room that somebody else was in. I had to go back to the front desk and get another room. then a space heater was in the room that kept tripping the circuit breaker so it was freezing all night. Absolutely do not book this hotel. You now have been warned. read more

The Twin Peaks is a vintage hotel on the Market Street corridor near the Castro District. I arrived very late into SFO and was without a place to stay for the night. Lucky for me that the hotel has someone manning the front desk 24 hours. The young lady working the desk was very accommodating and able to provide a room at the last minute. As with these older buildings, there are rooms with shared and private bathrooms, and no elevators. The hallways were secure and well lit and the room was well appointed and quite cozy. All located in a quiet, flat, neighborhood with plenty of great local eateries in walking distance. read more

This hotel is more for if you're just looking for somewhere to crash for the night. It's super old and run down and in need of some major renovations. Nothing special. The rooms are small, super creaky bed and the carpets look questionable. There are communal showers/ restrooms- 2 on each floor. Overall they looked pretty clean considering they're communal. I did see the cleaning people a few times during my stay so I know things are being cleaned. Staff is friendly and the hotel is conveniently located. Don't expect anything special from here though read more

I usually stay here when I'm doing a quick 1 or 2 night stay in SF. Not super luxurious but works. Staff is always friendly. Quiet location- no loud noises, etc. Rarely hear noise in the hallways, which is usually someone opening/closing their doors Rooms are a little dared but it works when your out drinking & want to walk back from the bars. Shared (hallway toilet & shower area. Always clean. Never had am issue having to wait to use. I'm not overly crazy about a Shared restroom & usually request being closer to it (just I'm case). Staff always met my needs. read more

This hotel was cheap/affordable and perfect for my needs at the time. I went to San Francisco to just party and celebrate my friend's birthday. We planned to go out to eat and have cocktails and then to a few clubs; so I thought it'd be smart to get a hotel close to all the festivities. The hotel is not like spacious like a Holiday Inn or Motel 6 etc, it's more like tiny apartments, lol I just laughed because it sounded funny actually saying that, hmmm.... no I think what I really mean is like a small dorm room ... Anyway the rooms are very small, there's a bed, a dresser, tv, sink and small closet; I only needed this place to rest and shower, I didn't plan on staying in the room all day or having company or a party in there so it was all I needed for my short stay. I got what I paid for but it was very clean, I saw the cleaning lady at least 3 times in my one day of being there. The toilet, there's two on each floor, they're located towards the middle of the hallway and you have to share them but they are private. You can close the door and be alone but it's only enough room for the toilet and you to sit on. The showers, same as the toilets, a community shower but it's private, and in separate rooms next to the toilet rooms, also two on each floor. The shower rooms are bigger than the toilet rooms though. Only problems I had with the shower was that the handle was broke, but I was still able to change the water temperature, and the shower room window I couldn't close, I kinda didn't feel private with the window open even though it wasn't wide open so I dressed and undressed inside of the shower where I could be behind the door. Location is good, there's all kinds of things within walking distance, Walgreens, bus, Safeway, bars, and places to eat. I read a couple other reviews being negative but it really is not that bad, no it's not a 5 star hotel but trust me it's good enough if you do something like I did, just plan to be a tourist or your on a budget. I would definitely come back. Tip: -When you use the toilet, either bring wipes for your hands to the toilet room or know and remember that you can only wash your hands in your room where the sink is. -Make sure you mind the street signs and meters for parking, you don't want to acquire a ticket on your visit, When I got there it was free parking but early morning I moved my car and parked at Safeway, slept a couple hours then moved the car back to the front of the hotel for free, this included a Saturday and Sunday for my visit. read more

Only reason why I'm giving this place one star is because I am been forced to in order to leave this review This place is small Is it smell like Is a hobo motel hotel I really think this place is a shelter for the homeless and they rent out the extra rooms to the regular population This place is old as grandma There are races they don't believe in black life matter I will never do business here again they even counts your bath towel The heat in the room do not work read more

This is still a good way to save money on a trip to the city. The price has risen to over 400 bucks for a week. It still has a great location. I still can walk all over. Two big negatives one reservations. Last time I came I was lucky they had a room as they had lost my reservation. Also both that trip and this I requested the lowest floor and wound up higher. This trip I am on the top floor. There is no elevator and I have found the higher you are the worse the wifi is. About half the time I get no signal on any of the different names they say to use. The other half the time I get a slow signal I have to keep resetting.... Several days I've gone to the park where there is a much better public signal. Still the place is clean and safe... note 7/10/18 phone service has gotten bad the last few times Ive called, this time twice was told to call back in 5 minuetes then told the guy had stepped out and can I call back in an hour.... that was last night today I finally got someone and was told they no longer offer weekly rates and its over a hundred plus taxes a night....this place is definatly not worth that....I guess its time to move on. read more

First of all awesome service! the guy who worked the front desk was very helpful, even though we exhausted him with directions and parking questions he was breaking a sweat! Lol... My likes about this hotel is that it has that old Frisco feel to it. If your just in for plain simple lodging this place is all you need. We never stayed at a hotel with a shared bath but it wasn't too bad, it was clean you get to shower and use the toilet. It was a good feeling that early cold morning, as I looked through that bath window while I was pissin' you feel the breeze and a view of cultured San Francisco, man that was beautiful. Travelers who need extreme privacy and not want people to hear your sex noises, I do not recommend this place due to the fact that their rooms are tiny dorm types. I was deep asleep and didn't hear anything but wife tells me she can hear conversations in the hallway in the middle of the night, so yes...do you get my drift? My least favorite about this hotel is that parking is a challenge because you would have to find curb side parking around the street at the backside about a block from here. We were lucky to find a spot there to park over night. When we came from the Embarcadero New Years Celebration we took the MUNI public transportation and the MUNI dropped us off not too far away to walk back to the our hotel, but hey taking the MUNI was cool. Good lodging here to say the least and nice rates. You got to appreciate the experience! read more

Twin Peaks Hotel - Hotels Near Me - San Francisco, California

Ok, so this is a VERY inexpensive hotel in an amazing part of a very expensive city. This hotel is great if you plan on sleeping and showering in your hotel and then spending the rest of your time exploring. If you want a luxurious hotel to lounge around and relax in, this is probably not it. Our room was very small, but clean and pretty quiet for being in SF. The bathrooms are shared (down the hall) but always vacant when we needed them and also clean. Staff was super friendly and always available to help. Great value for the money - once again - if you are not spending a lot of time IN the hotel. read more

I booked this room for 2 nights a Monday and tuesday to be close to my husband who was having surgery at CPMC Mission Bernal campus. I had a really hard time finding the place even with navigation because the sign on the front is totally covered by large trees! Wasted a lot of time. Finally parked in front right next to an empty parking lot which was not available for parking. I unloaded my luggage into the lobby. I was told to look on Valencia Street for a parking spot I would need to vacate in the morning. No parking spots within 6 blocks of this place! I walked by bars every other building with sleazy drunks hanging outside. People sleeping in doorways. Really dirty area with trash all over. Finally made it back to the hotel at 11pm. The young woman at the desk helped me get into room 2. The door knob was broken and a loose lock was in place. Very small room but neat and clean. I asked for some ice but none was available. I ended up going to a local bar to get ice to cool me off in the room. Right outside the window were groups of people hanging outside the bars nextdoor. The TV did not work. I had to call for the male person who took some time to get it going. I felt very unsafe here. I did not even get into the shower. I had to pack up in the morning and walk the 6 blocks to get to my car. Took me 45 minutes to get back to the Hotel due to traffic. I dropped off my keys and just let my second night go! No way I would stay there again. Many safety upgrades needed! A fire would be catastrophic. The fire escape was an old rusty thing. read more

OMG I did not care for this hotel at all. It has some good points but overall I'm disappointed with my friend for booking a room in this wretched dump. Thank goodness it was only for 2 nights. The bed was thoroughly uncomfortable. It squeaks the minute you plant your behind on it. The location is good because it's in the Castro district so easy access to loads of good restaurants, lounge, bars but this hotel just suck big time. The wifi, oh god, was miserable; losing signal and takes forever to look anything up. And this hotel had no elevators. How do people with disabilities get in and out? The ADA be damned I suppose. I don't mind the walk because I don't do enough cardio but that's beside the point, isn't it?! I did like the water pressure in the shower but that's about it. Just that. Just 1 positive. read more

Inexpensive convenient hotel right on market, a few blocks from the Castro. Bathroom-down-the-hall type place. Overall, very clean. Staff was absolutely outstanding, very helpful and friendly! Surprisingly quiet. read more

As an understatement; my fiance and I love twin peaks especially Puja whom we consider a family friend. We always get amazing treatment, they understand our situations and don't over charge us for silly things, even the manager is a sweet guy who allows our ridiculous baggage situations (sometimes they'll protect our belongings for an hour while we frantically embark on our next travel). Five stars every time, ask for Puja because she never miscalculates and always pays close attention to your needs and comfort, (seriously! How does she do that with so many people?) 5 stars, love this place. Even the manager is a sweet heart, stay here. read more

Super cheap weekly rates! Pros: Great, great central location. Secured entry. Private rooms Some rooms offer private bath. Overnight guests are welcome. Super clean bathrooms on each floor (2 per floor) Color TV in each room. Halls were quiet I felt extreamly safe in and out of my room Clean sheets/room, smoke free Staff was friendly and I think they might live on site Cons: No wifi (cant even pick up a signal from somewhere else) No parking (but no one has parking) Dont clean rooms daily, but I liked that because it made me feel like my stuff was more secure. No website There are a couple other weekly motels in the Mission, but the Twin Peaks is in a much better area of town and is more centrally located. (Its a half block away from the Muni.) I would recommend this place if you need a weekly place to stay for cheap, or if you need a place while your looking for an apt (like me). If this is still too expensive for you (aka student), than I would recommend a youth hostel, you share a room, but its cheaper. read more

I give this place a 3/5 stars because like other Yelpers, this place's only saving grace is that it's cheap, walking distance to the Castro, and the Muni is right in front of the hotel. If you're trying to save a couple extra bucks choose a room that has a shared bathroom, there's one per floor. They're clean, and I never had a problem with people rushing to use them. For two people this place runs cheap if the cost is split. Downside is that there is no air conditioning so if you're here in the summer or when SF is having hot weather, prepare to be uncomfortable, or avoid a street room (where the sun hits most). This is an alternative for a more expensive hotel, if you want to save bucks. However, an even better alternative might be a hostel (if you REALLY want to cheap out and rather use your money on activities, food, transportation, etc). read more

Nice little hotel, with great location. One of the best deals in San Francisco, European style, which means that most rooms share a bath. 2 water closets and 2 showers on each floors, I've never had to wait for one, and they are kept clean. Staff can be a bit rude, but they work to keep it clean. Parking is hell in this area, but it is right on a lot of bus and train lines, and just 2 block's form the Castro This is not a 5 star hotel, bring your own truffles, but if you are looking for a place to sleep, shower and go out and see the city it is great read more

Great location. Was very central to anywhere we were trying to go. Quick walk to Castro and also close to a grocery store and many other restaurants. Our room was decent size and we paid more for a room with a private shower so we didn't have to leave the room to get ready. Friendly staff as well and would definitely stay here again read more

Stayed at Twin Peaks during my three days in SF. Jay greeted us and was very kind and friendly. The room was clean and organized. We mostly came here to sleep. We had no problem with the shared restroom and bathroom. They were always clean. Very amicable residents as well. It's in a great location of the city. Close enough to some attractions like the painted ladies, SF mission, and twin peaks tower. read more

Maybe it's just me but I always get the same response, hurry up and wait. When I am done waiting they all if a sudden don't have any vacancies read more

These guys were awesome. The cleaning staff was vigilant, we saw them every day cleaning the bathrooms and showers, and every day we didn't have our "do not disturb" sign up they cleaned our room and left us clean towels. The management is cool. One of the guys who rang us up had a black and white shirt that said "Got Curry?" The prices are very reasonable (we paid double for a worse hotel in the Mission). They were very accommodating during our apartment search. They let us order a minifridge and keep it in the room. They let us order all sorts of things. I would definitely recommend this place. Your best bet for a room is to just drop by in person and ask if there are any vacancies. We called first, and they said they had no vacancies, but when we walked in the same day (by accident) they had a room available! They just like to know who they're renting to :) read more

For Wi-Fi I put 'Not sure' since it did exist in the building, I asked on 3 different occasions for a password, none of which worked. They owned the Wi-fi but kept on providing me with incorrect passwords. this was irritating. but the location was ideal - close to everything. pretty safe neighborhood and all that. I payed $259 or so total per week. my room was quite small, but it had cable TV. no fridge or anything for food, but it DID have a sink which is good. read more

I'm ok with the shared bath and toilet but the guy at the front desk was clueless. My tv remote wasn't working. So he gave me another. Still not working. Gave me another that had no batteries!!! Then another. Not working. Finally gave me ( so he said) the actual remote for his own tv which was for a different system all together!!!! I was gonna stay here again but already cancelled that reservation. Bye!!!! read more

***My favorite hotel in San Francisco because of the staff***, clean bathrooms, modest pricing, great customer service: sweetest people work here, Puja was our favorite clerk she helped us get the best price and made sure we always had everything we needed, extremely professional as well. Stay here, even the manager is an honest guy and will talk to you. read more

Our room was clean, we brought our own linens after reading some reviews about stained sheets/bed bugs. It was super convenient to have a sink in the room and sharing a bathroom wasn't an issue; it was never occupied. It was a quiet stay. No specific complaints. It's not a Marriott, if that's what you're used to, and definitely not as bad as some hostels/motels out there. Decent for young adults looking for a decent price hotel. And you CANNOT beat the location. Quick walk to bar hop in the mission and great brunch in the Castro. read more

I would never, ever recommend this place. In fact, I'm still a bit haunted about my stay here. Creepy men getting into arguments in the hallway at 5 am, rooms that are so small you can barely fit two people and your stuff, and just an awful awful experience altogether. The only thing I liked about this hotel is the location and I loved that there was a Walgreens right across the street. Location really is amazing. Parking wasn't bad, I could usually find something within a two block radius, but my god does this place suck. The sheets on the bed are so old, you can tell they're from the 80s. We found a hair in the towel, the bed was so disgusting and smelled of urine... I understand the argument that you're only there to sleep, but if your sleep is uncomfortable and anxiety ridden, how can you get any rest and be refreshed enough to tackle the next day in San Francisco? My sister and I slept on top of the bedspread, we didn't even want to see what was underneath. And the smell of pee was enough of a sneak peak at what else was lurking in that bed. The staff also entered into my room even though I had the privacy sign hanging from the door nob. I've been under the impression that meant Do Not Enter Please, but I guess not. I read an earlier review calling this place a gem, I have to beg to differ. I would rather stay in Daly City for the same price at a hotel not "european style" and drive into the city then stay here. Or just dish out an extra $20 a night for something more comfortable. I'm so disappointed. I was so looking forward to my stay here after reading some of the reviews. When I called to ask about the place the person I spoke to left me under the impression that it was a two floor hotel with 8 rooms on each floor. But alas, this hotel has a whopping 5 floors with 60+ rooms. I paid $200 for two nights to stay in a dump. I feel like a fool. Please, if this is your first time visiting the city, don't stay here. Don't make your experience in SF one where you're nervous and having anxiety about going back to your hotel. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. read more

I though I wrote a review before but can't seem to find it. I have stayed in the twin peaks many times over the last 8 years. I think the management has changed a few times. Every time I return I find the place to be cleaner and the front desk more helpful and very friendly. This is a very standard low budget european style hotel (shared bathrooms) which they keep spotless, they are in there cleaning 2-3 times a day..I have never had to wait for a shower, ever. It has direct out the door service to the vintage F troll (the wharf - the castro) the church street muni (you can get anywhere from here) walk to the mission in 10 minutes, the castro in 5, lower haight 10 minutes, upper haight 20 minutes. I don't expect the 4 seasons when I stay here. I expect a place to sleep and shower, so I can enjoy the city. read more

Twin Peaks Hotel was an awesome place to stay. The staff are super friendly and the manager Jay is a great guy. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and you can't go wrong with the location. Would definitely come back here again! read more

I had to find a hotel last minute on a friday and this was all that was available....at $80/night it was worth it but its sketchy. There are literally no ammenities, including outlets in the room....the only available outlet was 8 feet above the floor. I used an extension cord I found in the room and climbed on bed to reach outlet to plug in. It's located on busy street so there is noise. No ice but at walgreens they sell small bags I'm guessing just to accomodate guests of twin peaks....ha. there was a bag of weed at the top of the stairs when I returned. The one bath towel is sized for a small child....But..hey, it's 80 bucks in san fran...and has a bed :) read more

It was by far the worst experience I've had with a hotel in SF ever. The rooms were comparable to a prison cell. The door didn't even have a knob on it. The staff woke me up 2 days before my check out date and kicked me and my 7 year old daughter out in the rain while my daughter was sick, because I allowed a friend of mine to charge his phone and wait for an Uber in my room. Smh. Then she said if I didn't vacate, she'd call the police. So I saved her the trouble and called them myself. When the officer showed up, the lady at the front desk changed her whole tune, but by then I had had enough of her bullshit. So I told her I wanted a full refund for the 4 days I had paid to stay at their establishment, otherwise I'd file civil charges. She gave me the refund, but fuck her still. She need to shave that mustache she's got, and quit trying to hustle people before somebody beat her ass for playing with them. read more

Twin Peaks Hotel - Garbage - Hotels Near Me - San Francisco, California

We booked last minute and this was the only place we could find in our price range that had a vacancy. Overall, the place was pretty reasonable for the price. The bed was comfortable enough and the room was clean and nicely furnished. The staff was friendly and helpful. The neighbourhood is amazing. There were a few problems. The shower leaked onto the bathroom floor. We would hear the street the entire night. It was very loud. The hallways smelled strongly like cannabis. There's only street parking at the hotel. We had to find a parking garage a few miles away and pay a ridiculous amount of money for it. You can probably find a better place if you book early, but if you can't find any other place, this will do. read more

**I joined yelp just to review this place** Spent a month living here and really enjoyed my time. Not only is the location prime but it is relatively affordable! The rooms are clean and kept clean twice a week. Never once had a problem with the shared bathrooms and they were always spotless. Everyone that works here is wonderful and very helpful. The people staying in the hotel were quiet, nice and kept to themselves (which can be a problem with some of the other affordable hotels in San Francisco.) I would recommend this place to anyone needing a spot to stay while looking for an apartment or just visiting! read more

I stayed three nights here recently and very much enjoyed my stay. The highlight of my time there was the amazing customer service I received from the front desk attendant whom I also think is the manager. He seemed to be always there behind the desk. My first night he patiently helped me with a noise issue I was having with the person next door to my room. What's more he happily switched my room out the following day and the new room was much better! He was such a friendly calm guy. Really made my stay enjoyable. The hotel itself is very old but lends itself well to anyone who appreciates 'old San Francisco' charm. And the cleaning staff not only keep everything as spotless as possible (given it's a very old structure) but they're very friendly and greeted me every morning with a smile. For the price this is the best in town in my opinion. Thank you Twin Peaks! I will definitely see you again! read more

You really can't complain about the place, especially when traveling on a budget. I paid a weekly rate of $250 and did NOT have any complaints. The room is a little small for my taste but comes with a sink, TV, twin bed, and a clothes drawer. The shared baths (2nd floor) were clean and barely used. It was extremely quiet and private. Honestly, I ran into only a handful of guests during my time here. I would highly recommend this place to any guests or travelers looking for an inexpensive hotel in a secure and safe part of town. read more

Twin Peaks hotel was a decent place to stay. Not wanting to spend our whole vacation budget on a hotel, we chose TP because the nightly rate was under $100. The room was pretty clean and had plenty of space. It could definitely use some upgraded carpet and bedding. If you are worried about the shared bathrooms, I would say - don't be! They were very clean and we did not have to wait in line like I had feared. It seemed like the cleaning staff was constantly cleaning them so it was no problem. The hotel was very close to the bus and the underground, Walgreens, and plenty of restaurants. It's quite noisy but it's to be expected in a city. read more

Look, you're paying for location, and it's great. You're on the same block as Church street station, 5 minute walk to Castro. Safeway, Walgreens, funky bars/restaurants/coffee joints are all within a block. The place is OLD but everything (linens, bathrooms) were clean. The front desk was very kind-you just need to be nice and smile. It was hot and there's no AC (or elevators) but I called and they brought a fan to my room. Everyone had their windows open and that made for close contact, it's mostly who is staying there that makes a big difference, and during my stay guests were courteous, clean and quiet. I'll be back. $15 door to airport shuttle! read more
