Saw reviews about the outside noise and they were correct but for the price I cannot complain. Close to the bars and bus stops and a lot of restaurants are withing walking distance. Free parking is a plus is SF. Would definitely stay here again.

the value for the place is really just incredible. A super reasonable price for a really solid hotel. It’s definitely not a 5 star hotel but it’s easily a top option at its price point. Free parking was also a huge luxury coming from someone who drove into the city. There’s some really great restaurants and bars nearby, plus it’s close to Hot Cookie and Bob’s Donuts if you have a sweet tooth like me. This is definitely a place i’ll be returning to when the time comes.

Second time staying at the Castle Inn. While dated, it’s still maintained well, comfortable, and clean. Bathrooms are upgraded, too. You can’t beat the price for the location. I’ll definitely stay there again next time I’m in SF.

This hotel was fine! The price was fair for what was included, and we liked that a parking space was provided. This hotel is in a safe area that felt more like a neighborhood rather than a tourist spot.

Castle Inn was very satisfying. When I made a reservation, they responded quickly to my questions about parking, and after checkout, they safely managed my luggage storage and parking. The location is very good for sightseeing, and the facilities were clean. Although it is not large, it is good value for money for a one-day stay, and the free parking is very attractive.

Castle in is located in a safe and convenient neighborhood, with lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. The neighborhood is walkable. The rooms are clean and have everything you need there. Parking is included with the stay, though the parking lot is small so best for smaller vehicles.
