If you want a classic old school in sf downtown, it s here. My room had classic marble fixtues with a serious commercial toilet. My room was brilliantly lit. The bed was firm just the way i love it. The staff are o polite and old school. The place alive with antiques. They dont have breakfast so who cares? Go to the donut place close by.

This is an old hotel in the Tenderloin and it feels like it. But the staff are above-and-beyond cool and my 5-day stay felt a bit like coming home to family whenever I dropped off or picked up my key.

My father and I stayed at the hotel for several days while visiting San Francisco. This hotel was a time capsule. We met the owner several times and he has done his best to keep the hotel in its original condition when it opened in 1912. The hotel was clean, staff was friendly, and well managed. Outside the hotel was a bus stop and subway station. If you are looking for a simple quaint hotel this fits the bill. Thanks

This hotel is ideal for solo travelers. The rooms are clean and spacious. However, it is a bit unfortunate that you can hear noise from neighboring rooms. Additionally, it's slightly inconvenient that you need assistance from hotel staff to open the entrance door, as the door is locked for security reasons.

Great Hole in the Wall Hotel

The hotel is very nice. Front desk is friendly and room is nice. My only complaint is more about outside. Market street is super loud at night so it’s hard to sleep. Parking is also kinda hard so be prepared to move your car or possibly park in a garage.

The Aida Plaza is an Old-Style Traditional Hotel in the heart of Downtown San Francisco. That Area of Market has become increasingly scuzzy over recent years, and I know that many people are put off by the numbers of homeless people near to the entrance (although none came near to the actual hotel entrance during my week there). Once you put that out of your mind, the Aida is a good basic option for the city - and very good for the price that I paid! The room was large, very clean, and the bathroom, lights, tv etc all worked perfectly. The room that I was in (505) was quiet and I got good night's sleep. The internet was easy to connect to and fast. The staff were friendly, and quickly got to know my room number (you hand your key to them when exiting the hotel). They must have a hard job as they have to open the front door for each guest entering (the front door is kept locked). I had no difficulty gaining entry to the Hotel no matter what time I arrived back after a day/night out. Bad points - no tea/coffee facilities in the rooms, which would be a plus, or room service, but I wasn't expecting this. I also liked the "faded glory" and overall feel of the communal areas. The lift/elevator also worked throughout my stay. Overall, i was pleasantly surprised.

Badly designed hotel but cheap

Not a good hotel. It has an old rustic feel to it which is appealing. It’s also cheap. Right on market, so convenient location. Problem is it lacks a lot that even cheaper hotels have. It feels like they banked everything on location, and skipped a lot of hotel common sense. The heat there is poor. They’re radiators, and one of ours didn’t work. It is also only on from 6pm - 6am. Very freezing in the Winter. There is no place to put your towel in the bathroom. So you exit wet into a cold room. Think sinks are on the outside of the bathroom. The entire room is carpeted, so that seems like a very bad idea too. The elevator also doesn’t seem safe at all. It shakes when it hits the ground floor before the door opens. The worst is, the front door is locked 24/7. So you can’t enter the building until the host comes and opens it for you. There is only one room key too. You have to turn it in each time you leave the building. So if you’re traveling with friends or spouse it can make things very tricky. 4/10 Good for a night, but not for a vacation

The Aida Hotel is okay. The hotel is old. The carpet in my room was dirty. The crevices along side the room had crumbs under the bed, near the heater, etc. The TV remote did not work, so I had to manually turn the TV on and press the side buttons on the widescreen to change channels. To access to the lobby you have to wait thirty seconds for the staff to open the locked front door and then hand you the key. There were several occasions where I was standing for ten minutes outside from the cold until the male staff member would finally come to the door. So if you are in a hurry, chances are you can be further delayed. The personnel at the front desk don’t greet me and say hello or good morning. At times, it gets really impersonal. There was a point for a period of three days where I used the same towels and my bed was not made. You call yourself a hotel? Given that the hotel is located on the corner of 7th Street and Market Street, you do have your share of street characters, some are more vocally expressive than others. Yes there are cop cars visible on a daily basis during the day and evenings.

A charming vintage property with polite and helpful staff. Don’t come here if you all the bells and whistles of a corporate chain; come here if you want to go back in time 100 years and bathe in a claw foot tub and show your kids what a pay phone looks like. Don’t worry, sheets are new and clean, towels are replaced daily, and it’s a comfortable stay. That said, San Francisco has a large unhoused population, and this neighborhood isn’t immune.
