Good location for public transit, plenty of parking garages nearby. Room was a bit small and dusty in some spots. Stairs are very steep between floors but there is an elevator.

The whole aesthetic and idea behind the hotel is awesome, and very affordable which I think is a big deal. The art is super cool and at least in my room had humorous undertones. My only issue is the walls are super thin and not at all soundproof and the beds are poor quality.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were extremely hot. There was only one shareable bathroom for everyone on the floor I was in, and it was in bad condition. The elevator didn’t work all the time. Place was very unclean. The only part of that hotel that was good was the bar. I will never stay there again. I not recommend anyone body do either.

This hotel really ia dedicates to the art. Diverse original art makes every room different. Good location. Good price. My first stay at a no-front-desk hotel. It worked pretty well and help was available by phone. Poor choices on the TV.

I had a very disappointing stay. The hotel did not feel secure at all, the hallways and room were dirty, and the constant smell of weed made it uncomfortable. This is not the experience I expected.

This spot is a total vibe! Best place for our first trip to San Fran. The check in & out process was so easy. We were on the 5th floor in a corner room. LOVED having the experience of the fire escape. The room was clean & ended up having a mini fridge. When texting the front desk for things, they replied immediately. The elevator was so cool! The bathtub was amazing! My only issues were - 1. the tv remote did not work. Probably needed new batteries, but we didnt try to watch TV until out last night so it was not a big deal 2. The bathroom sink, although I love "old" sytle, upgrading to a single handle with mixing valve so you can have warm water, not just hot or cold We loved out stay! Would stay here again.

I’m stayed at hotel des arts and had an incredibly terrible experience. I woke up with tons of very painful and itchy bites on my neck. I’m in unsure if it is bed bugs but i did not feel comfortable staying here any longer so I vacated immediately after my first night on Thursday. I was supposed to stay check out on Sunday but left early Friday morning letting the front desk know of my troubles who felt terrible. They let me know since I booked through expedia I would need to request the refund through them but would be able to approve it. I then chatted with not one but two expedia agents whom both also felt awful and reassured me I would be refunded and compensated for this inconvenience. I was charged in full $420 to not even stay there, leave with huge bites that that I am honestly still dealing with days later. Disappointed is an understatement, I truly hope I can be compensated fairly for this experience in the near future.
