The room was far nicer than I was expecting. We could hear our neighbors at night which wasn't ideal, the walls were a little thin. The area was actually okay, it was safe enough and the front doors are locked at night so I felt safe.

Hotel Julien was ok for the price. Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. A little outdated and the elevator was out (we were on the 5th floor) but the beds were comfortable. Overall it worked for what we needed. Careful walking around the area; it’s so sad to see how San Francisco has changed over the years. Massive drug problems that you really can’t get away from. We did not feel very safe at night.

My boyfriend and I came for our anniversary weekend and we were happy with our pick. The rooms were clean and had a cute old style decor to it while still being modern. The customer service was 10/10 and every employee we came across was very friendly. The elevator wasn’t working when we came, but they found us the next available room on the lowest level and offered to take up our bags for us, even offered to hold our bags when we checked out to explore more. The location isn’t the best and can be a little sketchy at night but it is around a lot of good bars and restaurants, it didn’t affect our night adventures. We would definitely come back again, 10/10 we enjoyed our stay!

The building is very old and needs extensive renovations. Walls are VERY thin, you can hear conversations of neighbors (and more). The elevator was under repair during my stay. The neighborhood can be dicey so they lobby door was locked (key card entry) after dark--which is a nice security feature, except for when I had just arrived and was trying to get in to check-in. I will not stay here again

Very pleasantly surprised at the value of this hotel for what it offers. Was the best price for the area so wasn’t expecting excellence but I could not be more happy with my stay. Front desk staff was so friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious (not always a given for older buildings in SF), very clean and well appointed, a gym, all night security at the front lobby, and a lovely attached restaurant/bar with a great happy hour menu. The only caution I have is that the walls are somewhat thin but this is VERY common and unavoidable for hotels in older/original SF buildings. The hotel is just north of downtown so if you are looking for an affordable alternative that is a short Uber or even walk away, I can not recommend this hotel enough.

Elevators were down for over 2 months. We were on the 6th floor so going up and down was hectic. The morning of our check out, it appeared they only had one employee aside from the one working the front desk. I would expect them to have more employees helping guests with their bags in these circumstances. We were waived the resort fees so that’s a plus. Overall, wouldn’t stay here again
