Winsor Hotel

Great value for money, absolutely...

Liked: Based on the reviews and the 1-star rating, I had zero expectations and I was ready for the worst. Instead, I found a decent hotel. Yes, the bedroom was simple, but it had everything I needed: a good bed, a drawer for clothes and a sink. Yes, the toilet and showers are common, but they were kept very clean and within my 8-night stay I never had to wait for these to be available.The proximity to everything is just great. A few minutes of walking from the Union Square. Metro (to the airport) right around the corner. 1-2 streets from the Moscone conference center. A short walk to the shore. The host was super friendly and helpful.
Disliked: As others have pointed out, the immediate neighborhood is suspicious: homeless people are all over the street. It's worth mentioning though, that they never bother anyone. Unlike in many other regions of the world, they never begged. Initially I was quite scared to enter the hotel with some of them standing close by, I imagined them following me into the hotel. After a few days I learned no-one has that intention. It seems like they know their boundaries, somehow. It's very interesting how it's litreally a few specific streets that are full of homeless people, while it's enough to walk a 100-200 meters from the hotel and you're in the very city center with no signs of the homeless anywhere.The hotel is right next to a 24/7 fast food place. Depending on the direction of your room, you might get some hot and greasy air into your room. I'm super sensitive to smells, but it wasn't too bad. In the end it's a 1-star hostel, you get what you pay for, so I would only book it if you plan to stay out for the day and only spend the night there.

Liked: Given the circumstances of the neighborhood the hotel is in, the hotel staff does a really good job cleaning and are very friendly. The cost performance was good in my opinion.
Disliked: The neighborhood is definitely sketchy. But that is obviously not the owners' fault but people should be aware that they are getting what they are paying for.
