A small, European-style hotel near Union Square with simple rooms and strong value. A good choice for travelers who want a private room at a lower price point.
Why We Chose It
The Cartwright Hotel is an independent boutique that fills the gap between hostel dorms and expensive hotel rooms — clean private rooms, included continental breakfast, and a friendly atmosphere that feels more European pension than American chain. Good transit access; building has character; genuine value for central SF.
What Stands Out
