The Spotlight on The Bartlett Hotel and Guesthouse

Urban Vibes & Music-Ready Comfort in the Heart of San Francisco

Modern and budget-friendly, The Bartlett Hotel and Guesthouse sits just steps from Union Square, placing you right in the action of downtown San Francisco. With a cool shared lounge, on-site bar, and free WiFi, this hotel blends traveler-friendly amenities with a laid-back city vibe. The Moscone Center, Oracle Park, and many of the city’s best music venues are all within easy reach.

Why Concert-goers love it

The central location in Union Square means you're never far from your next show – whether it’s a stadium concert or an indie gig in a tucked-away club. The 24-hour front desk is a plus for late-night arrivals, and nearby public transport makes late returns from venues smooth and safe. After the music fades, the hotel’s relaxed atmosphere offers a welcome wind-down.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, central spot to crash after the show
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance
  • Couples turning a concert night into a weekend getaway
  • Fans seeking a quieter, comfy spot to recharge post-gig
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value in a great location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar keep things simple and satisfying. You’ll also find plenty of late-night bites within walking distance – from casual pizza joints to trendy diners. Morning-after breakfasts are easy to find all around Union Square, perfect for refueling after a long night out.

Nightlife Options

The hotel sits in one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Whether you're into cocktail lounges, dive bars, or classy wine spots, you’ll find them just a few blocks away. While there’s no live music on-site, the hotel bar is a chill place to start your night with local brews or a glass of wine.

What People Say

Travelers praise the excellent location close to public transport and concert venues. Reviews often highlight the clean, modern rooms, and the friendly front desk team that’s ready to offer local tips. Guests love the balance of value and convenience in the heart of the city.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms can be a bit compact and street noise is noticeable – something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper. Also, while there’s a cool bar and restaurant, food options on-site are somewhat limited late at night.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to San Francisco for a concert and want a stylish, affordable place near all the action, The Bartlett Hotel and Guesthouse hits the right note.

Great place to stay in...

Liked: I was looking for a more affordable stay in this neighbourhood as I was attending an international conference. And glad I found and chose the Bartlett Guesthouse. Good location, nice spacious room and bathroom, nice bed. Nice staff, special thanks to Olivia, she was very friendly and helpful! And there was a voucher for a complimentary beer next door which is one of the best pubs around. The building is probably old but I liked the atmosphere and even the smell of it. There was a safe box and fridge in the room.
Disliked: The window was facing the wall, it was a bit disappointing at first (it was my first time in the city) but okay. No AC just fan at the ceiling but it was also okay, it wasn’t a hot week. Could have used more shelves to store clothing. And I like when hotels provide body lotion (I would trade it for the hair conditioner :)) but that’s the economy hotel so can’t be too greedy. Luggage storage after checking out was a bit expensive (more than $8 even for 3 hours), but again, considering the total price it was tolerable. I wad a bit cautious about the neighbourhood but didn’t encounter any problems. Overall the whole experience was great. I would stay there again and recommend to friends.

Good

Liked: I chose this place because it was the only hotel within my budget in downtown San Francisco. I’m satisfied with the room, toilet, and shower
Disliked: however, the kitchen is inconvenient to use as it lacks a fridge, coffee filters, mugs, and cutlery.

Unfortunately did not end well...with...

Liked: perfect place if ur looking to a room with private bathroom close to union square.
Disliked: Two emails sent prior accomdation for an inquiy..one through booking app...were never answered...finding staff to exchange towels just occured only twice during our stay. Usually missing reception personel with a note to find them at another hotel 200 meters walking. reception employees have least troubleshooting skills. Avoid their reception to your shippments (from amazon for example)...Shippments show up later than received sometimes...lost/missed other times...with no serious/sincere help from the hotel representatives in this regards.
