We spent 7 days at the Castle Inn at the beginning of this month. Booking the hotel was really easy and Varsa came back confirming the booking and rest of details. Getting to the hotel from the airport is very simple as it is close to Van Ness ( 101). In less than 30 minutes you are there. The location... more

Arrived after a tiring flight to be met with a friendly and speedy check-in which was appreciated. First impressions are of a clean if somewhat older property. Information on where to go and what to do were available in the abundance of leaflets at reception coupled with good advice from knowledgeable reception staff. We had a family suite at the... more

overall rating reflects heavy emphasis on value - this is far from a luxury, or a new or a newly refurbished or a full service hotel. the high value experience begins with booking and communicating directly with Varsa. her email communication is excellent - even when away from the inn on holiday. she booked a tour for us, responded with... more

Our first trip to San Francisco. The Castle Inn is in a great location to explore the city and great value for money. Very friendly and helpful reception on arrival and throughout our 3 night stay. Spacious room. Our 2 young children enjoyed riding the elevator! The free parking is great and no need to use the car at all... more

Location - The Good - location for using the local transit - short walks to the Muni bus and cable car line. The Bad - location is Noisy! - lots of traffic noise from Van Ness and Broadway. We had a 2nd floor room mid-way in the building. Bring ear-plugs if truck horns, sirens, traffic, Harley-Davidsons roaring by keep you... more

My teen son and I stayed at Castle Inn in March of 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Location was excellent, right outside the door are a number of buses up and down Van Ness that will take you anywhere around town. Breakfast was basic but sufficient, and the owners were very helpful. Free car parking was excellent, I was... more

The Castle Inn is a great find if you're looking for a great motel. It's not a hotel. It's a good, inexpensive stay in an expensive city. Just about everything you've read is true. Marshall at the front desk was extremely nice and helpful. The location, other than being on a listless patch of concrete called Broadway Ave, is terrific,... more

We stayed for four nights at the Castle Inn and enjoyed every minute of it. The room was spacious and clean and the oversized bathroom was a bonus. The staff at reception were always helpful and cheery and nothing was too much trouble. Even giving us super directions to start our road trip. The breakfast was more substantial than we... more

This hotel has many pluses and minuses. On the plus side the staff is very friendly. There is free parking, however the garage entrance is extremely narrow and only small cars can get in and maneuver inside. The beds are average quality. They also give you tiny soap bars, so I went out and purchased my own. However, they have... more
