The Spotlight on FOUND Hotel San Francisco

Cozy, Budget-Friendly Stay in the Heart of SF’s Music Scene

Modern and minimalist, FOUND Hotel San Francisco is a centrally located boutique hotel with a laid-back vibe that’s perfect for music lovers. Just blocks from the city’s transit hub and close to popular venues like the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and the Warfield, it places you right in the middle of the action without breaking the bank. Whether you're here for a show or a weekend escape, this hotel gives you an authentic San Francisco experience with easy access to everything you need.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and FOUND puts you just a 5-minute walk from Powell Street BART and Muni Station, making late-night returns from shows across the city fast and easy. The hotel’s quiet, hostel-meets-hotel atmosphere and 24-hour front desk mean you can come and go on your schedule. Free WiFi and communal spaces let you keep the post-show vibes going with friends or wind down solo.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central, affordable base
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert or festival
  • Couples making a weekend out of a live show
  • Fans seeking a quiet, no-frills recovery spot
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want style without splurge

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t have a restaurant, you're steps from countless late-night bites in the Tenderloin and Union Square neighborhoods. Grab tacos, ramen, or pizza into the early hours. Several cafés nearby serve brunch and breakfast ideal for post-show mornings. Communal kitchens in the hotel also let you prep your own snacks or meals.

Nightlife Options

  • Close to iconic live music venues like the Warfield and Great American Music Hall
  • Walkable to bars, lounges, and speakeasies in Union Square and SoMa
  • Chill with fellow travelers in the hotel’s shared lounge spaces

What People Say

Guests love the location, affordability, and cleanliness. Reviews highlight the helpful staff, great access to public transport, and the cool, minimalist design. It's praised as a great value for travelers who plan to spend most of their time out exploring or at shows.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side and the neighborhood can feel a bit busy or edgy at night—typical of central SF. But guests say the hotel itself feels safe, and the value more than makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a clean, comfy, and affordable base just minutes from San Francisco’s top venues, FOUND Hotel San Francisco hits all the right notes.

Great location but smelly accommodation

Liked: I liked the location of the hotel the most, the place was a great starting point for exploring the city.
Disliked: The accommodation is very old, there is a musty smell everywhere. We stayed here with 2 colleagues for a conference, the room is only 10m square, the sink is not in the bathroom etc. The photos on the booking no longer correspond to reality.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Not satisfied with the small...

Liked: Good price compared to nearby hotels.
Disliked: No AC in our room for 5 nights in a 4 person room. Maintenance never came to fix the AC as promised and only gave us a fan for 5 nights. No tables or chairs in our room, very small. Pretty bad area with human feces right in front of the hotel.

Exceptional

Liked: There's a member of staff available 24/7 to help you check-in, check-out, and to provide you with any assistance you may need. Day 1 I had an issue with my amenities, and the woman at the front desk had it fixed immediately. They have a laundry room with free detergent pods you can use, a kitchen area, and free wifi.
Disliked: The hotel is in kind of a bad neighborhood. Lots of homeless people around, which is not necessarily the hotel's fault, but I would be aware of it. Also, I feel like they did not do a good job of explaining that they would be taking a 300$ deposit from you at check-in, regardless of whether or not you had paid for the hotel in entirety before your stay. That was unfortunately a rather large chunk of my vacation budget, so I am upset about that.
