Could only stomach staying 1 night. Went for a conference and didnt know it also had permanent residents. When I went to sleep I was awoken every 10-15 min to the sound of a man screaming the floor below. When I called the front desk they said that resident had been a problem for years. The hotel was able to re-book me at a sister hotel but DO NOT STAY HERE.

It was exceedingly good value for money, and really, really clean. A good central location a block down from Union Square. Unfortunately another guest spent all night roaring and shouting so sleep was difficult. I would go back again, it was a good base to tour from

A truly iconic hotel to stay at. The property is well maintained and clean. While there is no concierge at the lobby, check in is at a hotel a block away. Located a block from Union Square, it makes it a very centric location. My only negative was the night commotions of the locals. Lots of shouting and noise. I had to close my window. Aside from that, I enjoyed my stay at Herbert Hotel.

Certainly it is very bare bones basic, as you must expect for a budget hotel and unless you pay more you need to use the shower and toilet down the hall, something which seems to have been lost on a lot of people reviewing the Herbert. It's also required to check in at the Stratford, which is half a block up Powell Street, which some find off-putting but it didn't bother me at all. I was on the 7th floor, it was very quiet, the bed was comfortable and I slept well. The location is about as central as you can get, the BART, F-Line and cable cars. I would not only stay here again but would recommend it to anyone who doesn't expect a chocolate on the pillow when staying at a hotel...
