Pick this place if you are going to spend most of your time OUTSIDE of the hotel and only use this space to sleep. Read less

We found Hotel Abri on Hotel Tonight. The staff was helpful and the location was perfect. We selected an interior room which meant it was quiet! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There are excellent restaurants nearby and the cable car turnaround was fun too!

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Abri for four nights while we were in San Francisco for a business trip. The hotel is a lovely building that embraces modern and classic aesthetics. The staff was friendly, professional, and personable. They offered recommendations for many walkable dining options in the area. It is conveniently located one block from the BART Powell Street station and very close to the Moscone Center. We were in room 416 which faces Ellis Street. The street can occasionally get loud at night which may or may not interfere with sleep. My wife slept through everything that woke me up. That said, the room was clean and cozy. We will stay there again on our next trip! Read less

There is a strange smell that is all pervasive, probably a cleaning product and is impossible to get rid even with ventilation, but it was unpleasant. I accidentally paid my deposit with a debit card, I’m still waiting for the hotel to return it so if you’re there do ask when I’ll get it (6 weeks so far).

There are advantages to staying in an older hotel. The walls are substantial so the room is quiet. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was renovated, and the dressers had many large drawers. We hotel door was one block from the cable car and subway. There is coffee and tea in the lobby during the morning. There are several restaurants within… Read more
