Good place to stay in SF”
I don't know why so many people said the area is bad. OK there are some homeless people around but it's not dangerous at all. At nights we were getting back to the hostel through mission street and could hardly see any homeless. The shower and bed linen were clean.

A value hotel - everything except location is good”
Location itself is great since everything is in vicinity, so that it will be very nice to be taken as a basecamp for the solo travellers.
However, the streets around this hotel is quite poor. It is safe but with a lot of homeless people, so that taxi drivers advised me not to walk around at late night.
Nonetheless, this is reflected to the great deal this hotel offers.
I satisfied quite much!

Value for the money”
If you dont have very much of money, choose it. If you have, dont choose. So simple it is! What are the problems? 1)Awful neighbourhood: homeless people with drugs. Dirty and very noisy streets. 2) I suggest to owners to make an experiment: try to live in a room for one week. You will know what does mean if you dont have any place for putting your clothes, tooth brush and other items. If there is NO ONE hanger in the shower room! But the staff is very kind!

I loved the easy access to the buses, the homeless people kept to themselves, and the staff were very helpful. As a single woman traveling lone, I felt safe there. I also appreciated the reading lamp was fixed, access to an iron, and a nice continental breakfast. My only complaint was the shower drain was plugged, and even though I reported it, the drain was not unplugged during my days there.

Was nice! Foi legal!”
Actually, was very nice! I do recommend this hotel for everyone. The front staff was very kind and helpful. The room was little, but confortable. Whenever you want it clean, just let them know. The room has a sink inside, what helps manytimes. The restroom is shared. In spite of this, I had no problem with that. All the time that I used, the restroom were clean and nice.
On the other hand, the location was kind of weird! But, Just ignore the people walking crazy on the street, and you'll be fine. And also, it was around three blocks away from the main street. That's fine. Just be aware.
Foi bem legal! Recomendo a todos. O quarto é pequeno, porém confortável. Eles têm uma estrutura bacana para comer: almoçar ou jantar. O café da manhã é simples, mas quebra um galho. Eles têm café 24h servindo nesse espaço, achei bem legal isso! Eles são bastante prestativos e educados. Os banheiros, apesar de compartilhados, são tranquilos. Limpos e não tem filas.

The location of the hotel wasnt that ideal as there are homeless downstair the hotel and might be a little dangerous but Minna hotel has good security system as they only allow hotel guest with cards to tap in at all times. And for the check out, due to some unseen circumstances, im wasnt able to check out at 11 and would need another 30 mins and the guy at the check out understand my situation and he allowed me to extend for anther 30 mins.Good for budget traveller

Not the best, but cheap and did the job.”
Minna Hotel is in a very bad area of town. However, the hotel itself is very safe. You have to swipe a card to get into your building, elevator, room, and restrooms. The room is much smaller than the picture. There was no dresser and there was no screen in the window. There is also no A/C. The bathrooms felt dirty so bring shower shoes. There are towels provided but there are no paper towels in the bathroom. On the floor I stayed in, there was a bathroom with 2 toilets and 2 sinks, another bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet, and another room with only a shower. There are no hooks to hang your towel or clothing in the bathroom and the floors feel dirty. Since we were only at this hotel everyday from 11pm-8am, it was worth the stay. You get what you pay for! If you are on a budget and don't mind dirtiness or small rooms, I would stay here. I do not recommend this for families. Also, the breakfast was very limited.

Bring earplugs.”
Even though we were given a room up on the 3rd floor that faced the quieter street that Minna adjoins, the noise made sleep very difficult. The doors were also very difficult to close, which meant that you could hear every time another guest went into or out of their room.

Awful facilities and not safe”
First of all, the shared bathroom is nasty, and the bedroom smells terrible, but the window cannot be opened unless you put something on the window sill to support the glass. Something even worse is that the window glass doesn't fit the frame, so the glass tends to fall from and my room which on the fourth floor!
Another safety concern here is about the door, I can only push it 45-60 degree open due to the uneven floor, and this situation not just happen to my room but also the shared shower.
The worst hotel I've ever seen in my life. Please do not book this one for your own good.

Weekend Vacay”
My 2 kids & I were in SF for a weekend getaway. The Minna is located within a short walking distance to public transportation and Little markets. The price is very reasonable for where and what this hotel is.
The front desk staff is very friendly & accommodating. Breakfast was nothing special but it was ready & there was really good coffee.
Our room was on the 3 floor & right next to the bathroom. It was big enough for the three of us to stow bags & crash at night. It has a mini fridge, microwave, sink, & tv. It’s not fancy but we didn’t spend much time in it anyway. It was very noisy from slamming doors, talking through walls, and walking in the hall.
The bathroom was large enough for me but if you’re very pregnant or a wide person, it may not be. It was not sanitized but was clean.
The shower room was less clean. It’s really a closet that’s been converted into a shower. The water ran under the door and out onto the hall floor.
The neighborhood is REALLY scary after 9pm.

Overpriced underdelivered”
This is not a hotel. It’s a HOSTEL.
Shared bathrooms, which is fine, you know that on booking, but the photos on AGODA are NOTHING like the property.
My room was a dingy tiny room (403) two single beds pushed together for a double with no room to move, no fly wire on window, glass had to be propped open with the bin. An aircon in the room but disconnected. FILTHY STICKY carpet. Bathrooms are ok but you have to wait for ever for hot water to come thru!
Location is not great.
I paid $205 AUD a night, fully knowing it’s a 2 star property, but thought we would get something resembling the room in the picture!!!
DO NOT BELIEVE the description on the booking sites!!!!

the personnel was always very forthcoming and helpful, the rooms are perfectly fine for the price (pretty dusty at the edges between the carpet and wall, but well, in that price range acceptable imo). breakfast was included and perfectly fine as well.
union square area has some problems with the homeless people, but we never had issues and also left our "luxury" type rental parked right outside on minna street for one night without a problem. I would come here again.

Carpets in the room and hallways should be replaced. Looks like dirty and I think that the cause of bad smell along the hallway. Other than these were good especially the bed, comforter and pillow.

Stayed here for GDC. Location to Moscone was perfect, but the area was a little rough. From reading reviews I was aware of this, so it wasn't a surprise, but it does take you aback.
