On first sight the Castle hotel is not great, but the rooms are fine and the location is good once you get your bearings.Varsa, the hotel manageress was wonderful.She advised us to buy an 18 dollar , 3 day public transport pass which was well worth the money and enabled us to use the bus and trolley system all day... more

My husband and our 2 daughters stayed at the Castle Inn 2 nights. Upon arrival, before 3:00, we were not allowed to check in. After a 4 hour drive, we needed to use the restroom, but their was none. The clerk was rude and could not recommend a close facility. The property is old an dated, We checked in a... more

I booked this based on Tripadvisor comments. It's in a handy location if you are fairly fit and don't mind walking. There were myself and my wife plus 2 teenagers, 18 & 16. It was about 15 mins walk to Fisherman's Wharf and 30 mins to downtown. Rooms were clean enough and comfortable but were a bit gloomy. Staff were... more

Just about everything you read on tripadvisor about the Castle Inn is true. It is15mins walk down to F/Wharf or 15mins up to Union Square / Chinatown area. Simple but sufficient complimentary breakfast (coffee, good orange juice, yoghurt, fruit, pastry, cereal bars) left us satisfied (including 2 teenagers!). Stayed in the 2 bedroom-suite.

Stayed for 4 nights in the 2 bedroom suite as the first stop on a trip down the east coast. Briliant location, busses run on the two streets either side(Van Ness & Polk), so transport links were great for any location. A three day MUNI pass for all above ground public transport cost only $18 so we used these a... more

We stopped here for 4 nights. I booked directly with the Inn and they were easy to deal with. They responded quickly to all my email queries and were very helpful. On arrival I was a bit put out, as the rooms looked a bit dark and shabby. The continental breakfast was limited, and some rooms will suffer from traffic... more
