The entry door was broken and the hall was cold and windy during breakfast. The personnel helped by bringing a portable heater.

I recently stayed at Hotel Julian and, unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The location is decent, situated in a central downtown area, and the building seems like an old hotel that has been renovated. However, the service and facilities did not meet expectations, especially considering the high price paid. On the first day, there was no heating in the room—I had to call the front desk to request it, which was quite inconvenient. The following day, there was no hot water at all. Again, I contacted the front desk, but even after waiting, the issue wasn’t resolved. I eventually had to switch rooms, which was frustrating and time-consuming. To make matters worse, I left the "Please clean the room" sign on the door, but housekeeping never showed up. No clean towels, no service. I had to call the front desk again, and they only provided temporary towels. The rooms themselves were just okay, but nothing special. The shower was extremely small and uncomfortable. Overall, despite the location, I don’t feel this hotel was worth the money. The service was poor, and the issues I faced should never happen in a hotel of this price range. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Great hotel, stayed for over a week, convenient location though not super close to public transit that gets you downtown or to the east bay. But fairly walkable and close to a lot of amenities.

the good: - clean, decently sized rooms - central area, walking distance to many desirable neighborhoods the bad: - building/hallways are really showing their age - no fridge - broken elevator! We had to walk up and down 7 flights to our room. This was only on the last two nights of our stay, but judging from the condition of the elevator I wouldn't be surprised if this was a common occurrence here.

Great little hidden gem in the Heart of San Francisco. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Great safe location for anybody. Has lots of fun Neiborhood places to eat and drink nearby. Close to tourist attractions. Very clean rooms and quiet. No parking, but very easy to UBER Waymo around town.

Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the rooms was disappointing. The floor in our room was dusty and had someone’s hair scattered around. In our friend’s room, we even found a pair of used underwear left behind. Although housekeeping came during our stay, they only made the bed and did not actually clean the room — the floor remained dirty. Another downside is that the walls are very thin, and noise from neighboring rooms was very easy to hear. On the positive side, the staff were polite and welcoming throughout our stay. We also appreciated that after check-out, we were allowed to leave our luggage at the hotel until the end of the day. Overall, while the staff were kind and helpful, the lack of proper cleanliness made our experience less enjoyable than expected.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are really dirty, I don’t know unless time floors or surfaces were cleaned. Hair laying everywhere on the floor even in the hairdryer. Hairdryers are dirty and covered in makeup. The worst part is that I found used underwear which was disgusting and really made me doing the cleanliness of the entire room. I was told to just “pick it up and throw it away”, which is gross and unprofessional. The front desk receptionist said she would have the room fully cleaned but that never happened. I was told that this issue is escalated to the general manager but I got no further communication. Also at the checkout we were told that we would get refunded our $200 deposit but today I was charged that $200 again… Seems like the hotel only wants your money. Really poor experience and would not recommend anyone to stay there…
