It can be confusing but once you get the hang of it you’re fine.. don’t come here if you have memory problems

The staff was very nice, I went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and got to my room

The Handlery Union Square Hotel is an older property, but its excellent location—just one block from the shopping district—makes it a convenient choice. The bed was a bit uncomfortable for me, but the variety of nearby restaurants made up for it. I highly recommend Caffe Central for a good breakfast.

Very expensive for food so used Boudins for their sourdough bread and soup but alot of homeless people so very few places to sit down to eat and we were asked not to give them any food. Shops were empty and poor and even Bloomingdales is closing.

Loved the upgraded room large and comfortable. Excellent position for all we wanted to do and very good staff.

The old part of the hotel is an update for the current Handlery. It becomes 3 star. The "new" Handlery is a typical smallish hotel with decent rooms AC a small exterior outdside pool which isn't much use for SFO weather. Half a bock from Union Square is the best attribute, across the street from the Marriott Westin; i.e. convenient. I was moved from the new section which is a long walk from the old hotel and the only lobby; I'm handicapped walking. I was given an "exeutive suite" which is name that simply means "two rooms". TVs didn't work "no or weak signal". Cool nights no. heat. Staff was very good and helpful.

It was a bit of trek to our room. Maybe put that in the description, and give the option of a room closer to reception that doesn't involve as much walking, stairs and lifts. When there were children playing in the swimming pool, the noise travelled into our bedroom, even with the patio doors closed. We were on the 6th floor.

Lovely sized room. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Close to a few bars, convenience stores, delis & restaurants. Right next to Powell Street where the cable cars are.

I didn’t like the fact that the room has carpets and you can’t control the air. And you don’t have fans available.

Very good location in San Francisco downtown, spacious and comfortable room with a great bed. The staff was very nice and gentle.

Perfect location very comfortable room very satisfied

WiFi. Entertainment options. Can be a little hard to get around.

I’ve stayed at hotels within block of this one for the past few years. At least once every other month. Found a great deal and thought I’d try it out. Room is comfy. The WiFi tho…I’ve never experienced having to reset my electronics over and over just to get a few minutes online. Cable very basic. Spent some much needed downtime here and it was less than what I had expected. I’m glad I stayed though.

Some things are getting a little dated eg the room's aircon/ heating system - who would have guessed that to switch it on you need to push the button marked 'Off/Low'? They kindly supplied a portable electric heater. We also borrowed a kettle but when we plugged the two things in together, we blew a fuse. However this was fixed promptly. Really these are minor gripes.

Superb location in the heart of the city. Excellent public transport options nearby. Staff were friendly, with genuine smiles and were very helpful. Room was a good size. Bed was very comfortable. Our room on 6th floor was very quiet for a central city hotel. And it has an open air heated swimming pool - yes, in the middle of the city!

I didn't like the size of the room, to me it was a little too small as I prefer a lot more space inside a hotel room, so for me I would definitely order a larger room next time.

I liked the bed itself that was comfortable enough, the coffee machine was a nice little perk and the shower was also very nice. The view outside was a good spot too. The swimming pool was a pleasure also.

Tv in room had poor reception and remote didn't work well

Perfect for a 2 night stay in S.F. Excellent location
