Very small room, but if you only want a place to sleep and will not be spending much time in your room, it will work for you. A lot of things to see within walking distance.

Very convenient location, bit noisy,checking in very slow only 1 person on and nearly 1hour for them to get your car. Rooms are clean but beds are not so comfortable and long wait for hot water.

The Powell is in a fantastic location, central to public transit and the downtown area. The staff were nice, but we didn't need them much. Drawbacks: The radiator hissed all night (I know that this is a given with these old oil radiators, I've had them in apartments...but having it right next to the bed made it hard to sleep). The toilet was finicky  - you had to jiggle the handle to get it to stop running. The bed had a nice pillowtop but underneath was rock hard, so after two nights we had backaches. All in all, you get what you pay for and this was a bargain for being so centrally located. As someone who doesn't mind staying in hostels, the issues we had weren't overwhelming and I would happily book there again.

The location is good, if you don't take into account that the neighborhood is a little bit noisy: the room window came out to the corner of the Market and Powell streets, almost right over the cable car stop. Otherwise, the location is very convenient: the hotel is in the very center of the city, the BART station is right at the hotel, and the convention  center is just three blocks from the hotel. Besides, the price was also reasonable. I think breakfasts at the hotel could be better, if they included sandwiches.

I found the Powell to be in a central location. Perfect for a tourist; however, the building seems to have no insulation/noise protection. It is located in a very busy section of Union Square, and we could hear absolutely everything outside (from fire alarms to people talking). So if you are a light sleeper, I do not recommend this hotel. Staff was  very friendly and helpful though!

成田から午前中に到着しましたが、エクストラチャージなしでチェックインできました。地下鉄駅及びケーブルカーの目の前なので、迷うことなくいけます。リーズナブルな料金だったので、シャワーの圧力が弱いとか、トイレの紙ホルダーが壊れているぐらいは愛嬌ですね。近くのコンベンション会場までも徒歩5分程度。お薦めです。

Convenient location- Market and Powell; walking distance to Westfield and other shops, BART, ATM, restaurants, and Trolley. Hotel is older and rooms are small, but they have free wine/beer and appetizers from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Mezzanine, as well as a free light continental breakfast in mornings for guests. That and the location made it an excellent  deal for the price. I would stay here again.

The Powell Hotel has a perfect location, we walked from there to almost all the places of interest we where expecting in our trip; The SFMOMA, The Asian Museum; theaters, good restaurants and all the stores you can need. However it surprise me a lot of people asking for help (money) in the surroundings. Also is very convinience because you can get into  the trollei or the "urban trains" just outside the hotel. and get to the embarcadero- fishermans wharf area. very good trip!
