Located near Powell St Bart station and Cable car. Room is clean and the size is ok for solo. Provided all the necessary amenities like hair dryer, digital safe and etc. The gym room is at the 2nd floor where you can refill your water.

Great location a few steps away from Union Square. Very ideal starting point to get around from, near the BART, and at the center of SFO shopping.

Since San Francisco is known as one of the most expensive city in USA, I didn't expect that much with The Barnes. Though, staffs were really friendly and the room was kinda big but the bathroom was small.
I spent four nights with The Barnes, I don't like from this place is water pressure is so low. It was hard for me to take a shower.

Great location in Union Square, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Rooms and bathrooms are small, and street noise can be an issue — but overall, a solid stay.

The location was great and easy to get around. The room was good but the air conditioner noise was a bit too loud.

Friendly staff, good value for money hotel in okay location but generally San Francisco is not great or overly safe feeling. Nearby parking is very expensive approx $44 per night, once you leave the parking you have to give you ticket and pay again.

Stayed here for 2 nights for a friends trip. Good location in a nice neighbourhood. Not too far from main attractions. There’s no free parking, but a walking distance parking garage is available. Hotel is clean and staff are helpful!
