• Great value, clean cute rooms, close to public transportation.
• Right in the middle of the noisy shopping district!

“The bar/resturant next door was pretty cool, the rooms were clean and charming. Overall it was a good experience. Tons of shopping, but it's all stores that you can go to back at home, nothing unique. A
lot of hagglers and even though we were on the 7th floor, it was extremely noisy (honking, power washing, drilling, etc.).”

• staff was friendly.
• Room was too small, no air conditioning, room smelled.

“Staff was very friendly, but the room was much smaller than was expected. Although San Francisco is not a hot city, I was unprepared to sleep in a hotel without air conditioning. The room smelled moldy to me, which is pretty bad because I am hard of smelling. If you have even average sense of smell, you will find the odor offensive.”

• It has a fantastic location, clean rooms, and a great price.
• It was great, but it's really just a clean place to sleep.

“It's a great hotel. It's in a cool old building. The rooms are neat, but small. It's location is immediately off of market street and right next to a BART terminal, making it literally steps from your plane. The staff was very helpful. But if you want a hotel that provides you with activities inside the facility then this is not the place for you. If you are looking to see San Francisco, then you can't beat what you're getting for the price.”

“ 2 twin room was tiny. Not enough room for 2 people with luggage. Beds were reasonably comfortable, place was clean, and attentive staff. ”

• Quiet and super value.
• No AC, windows did not open.

“Super value. Our room was very quiet. Think state room on a large ship. The room is big enough to swing a cat -- if it is manx. I will be happy to go back. Location. Nice TV on wall.”

• Excellent location and price, and good coffee and muffins.
• Parking is expensive, and a pain to be waiting for the valet to bring the car, but it's imposible to park on the street around the hotel.

“I really enjoy my stay, the staff was very helpful. I stayed with my 15 year old daughter and we were all day walking around town, we were not much in the hotel. The room was very, very small, but cozy. However, it was great for us. Flat screen TV, radio, private bathroom, just perfect for the price and our needs.”

• Breakfast - muffins, coffee.
• Street noise and nearby disco - needed earplugs to sleep.

“Clean, small but comfortable rooms, only problem was noise from street and local bars - ask for a room on upper floors or facing quiet street.”

• Convenience. Close to Bart line and Union Square.
• The walls are a little thin.

“I really enjoyed my stay at the Mosser Hotel. It was clean, the staff was friendly, the petit breakfast was an extra perk, and you can't beat it for the convenience. Love the location - right off the Bart, near Union Square and shopping. I had loads of fun. The only down side was that the walls are a little thin. Don't expect privacy. Since I'm kind of quiet myself, it didn't worry me. But really nice hotel, nice facilities would recommend it and would stay there again!”

• Location is terrific; staff was very friendly and helpful.
• Nothing to report.

“Whether for business or leisure, this hotel is well located for getting around the city. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate, albeit small, but very functional for two of us. The extra $29/day for parking the car (and we didn't move it until we left) seems a bit high, but it is in downtown.”

• Most of the hotel amenities were not available.

“I paid for parking. No cd player and iron. The room was tiny (enough for the 2 of us, we only stayed overnight) but very small. Outside noise (including traffic) was audible from our room on the 6th floor. I would recommend this hotel for its location, however, not for its creature comforts.”

• Location is the best.
• This room is like a closet.

“This hotel is good for only one person. anything more than one can not fit into the room, let alone we two adults and one child. There is not even place to add a rollaway bed, or simply sleep on the floor. No place to put your traveling bags. This is the first time I see such a tiny space.”

• Great location for the hotel, anything I needed or wanted was in walking distance.
• A lot of street noise where my room was, difficult to sleep.

“The hotel was worth the $. Extremely small, but cute and quaint as well. The shower/bathroom was fine, clean, and hotel staff helpful and friendly. Valet parking for $29 was the cheapest we could find, provided by hotel. Only problem, car returned with scuff and scratch marks, not sure if parking garage or other where and what happened.”

• The bathroom could be better.

“Very nice hotel with nice rooms, but you have to care, that there are also rooms with only shared bathrooms. We had our own bathroom and so it was good. The room could have been a little bit bigger. The location is the best available for travelers, who want to see San Francisco. It isn't located directly at Union Square.”

• Great location, friendly/knowledgeable staff.
• In 2008, no one should pay for internet at a hotel in America.

“If you are in town on leisure, or will otherwise not be spending much time in your hotel room, this property is perfect. The rooms are small (think European size), but the location is perfect. It is less than a 5-minute walk to the Powell/Market station, which is the biggest public transit stop in the city. The neighborhood gets a little seedy after dark, but we never felt unsafe as the streets are well-lit and well-traveled. The desk staff and concierges are very friendly and helpful.”

• There is nothing I did not like.

“The Mosser is a charming hotel in a great location for a great price. For a short stay, sharing a bathroom was not an issue. There was never a wait. The other guests were quiet and considerate. I would choose this hotel over the Marriott across the street anytime. Arriving at the hotel via BART was easy and economical.”

“So I don't get to SF very often and was excited to stay in a hotel in downtown. It took me 45 minutes to navigate the one way streets around the hotel. The front desk lady was very friendly and helpful. The room was the smallest room I've ever been in but it served it's purpose. I will definitely stay there again.”

• I liked the Organic Apples in the lobby and small room.
• The caulking in my bathroom was nasty, but that day someone fixed it with me telling them to. Mind readers.

“The Moser is a great place to stay. It's super close to the Merton, Moscone Center, Union Square, Market Street etc. Right off the highway too. It's easy to get to. The folks were nice there, the room was a quality. It was small though. Small as in, 2 people on a queen bed and that's it. It works perfect for a solo business traveler. I will stay there again if I go to the city. Organic Apples in the Lobby, along with Coffee, Tea and some muffins for a little morning snack.”

“I liked this place, the room had style and it was in the perfect location for me. The room was really small, but I only ever went there to sleep, shower or rest, so that was never an issue for me. There was very little natural lighting, but they have a lot of lighting available with lamps. People complain about having to pay parking for valet. Overall, liked my stay and would recommend it for anyone who isn't going to spend a lot of time in their room, it's cute and cheap!”

• Basic, clean, great location, great restaurant/bar (Annabelle's), friendly & helpful staff.
• Would have liked a slightly larger bed (queen vs. double).

“The Moser is an older, basic hotel that is been nicely re-decorated. The location, about halfway between Union Square and the SF-MOMA is hard to beat. Staff were friendly and helpful. Annabelle's, the hotel restaurant & bar, is a great place to have a meal or just hang out over a beer. I would definitely stay here again.”

“Great location walking distance to Union Square, the SF Shopping Center, Moscone, SF MOMA, Metreon. Rooms/main area are well appointed, but the rooms were tiny just enough room for the bed; no furniture except a chair/mounted TV/nightstand. Parking was expensive, and you have to valet. Self-park structures are nearby, though.”

“This hotel is great for urban travelers; people who really get out and stay out much of the day and evening. Its incredibly stylish and very European in decor. I was a little surprised by how small the room was. The descriptions didnt lead me to believe "boutique" until I got there. Overall it looks great. Its great for a city week end visit. Not for families or extended travels.”

“Excellent hotel located right in the heart of downtown San Francisco. The Mosser is also next to a major downtown shopping mall; home to several upscale stores and a movie theater. Mosser staff was very knowledgeable and provided good morning coffee. This is a great hotel. The room I stayed in had to be the smallest room Ive ever stayed in but mine at least came with a bathroom. 90% of my stay in San Francisco was outside my hotel room; so I didn't mind the small room one bit. If you're making a reservation, make sure you ask for a room with a bathroom. Otherwise, you have to use the shared bathrooms out in the hallway.”

“If you are looking for a clean and reasonably priced hotel in the heart of the San Francisco tourist area, this is it! One half block from the Metreon, one block from the convention center, one half block from the Bart and Muni and a block and one half from the Cable Cars. The rooms are clean and stylish, but tend to be rather small. But we use the room to change clothes, shower and sleep, so in this case, size does not matter. Highly recommended!”

• Great location, great value.
• Shared bathrooms are tiny.

“My husband and I were looking for a cheap getaway for our anniversary and we never expected to find one to San Francisco, but The Mosser was excellent! We had the shared bath which may be scary for some, but we never ran into others using them when we needed to so they were like our own. Would have liked a sink in the bath rooms, but I guess the sink in the rooms is to make up for that? The rooms are not huge, but they utilize the space well and are nicely decorated with quality linens, etc. We were quite comfortable for 7 nights. The hotel was clean and quiet for the most part, of course you're going to hear people in the halls occasionally, but the double-double panes on the windows really worked for keeping out street noise! If you're on vacation and want to sleep in past 8:00, just a warning housekeeping does come quite early if you forget to put out the privacy sign! The location was great! Just off Market on 4th. A very short walk to the Powell St. BART station and cable car turn around. There were at least 3 buses that stopped in front of the hotel and the F-Market street car stop is on the corner. So basically, you can get nearly anywhere in the city without a problem. We will definitely consider The Mosser if we return to San Francisco.”

“The hotel met all my expectations except parking. I drove my truck to Pier 39 because I was in a hurry and didn't want to deal with public transportation. Upon returning to the hotel there was no room to park my truck. I had to drive around the block many times until valet parking removed all the cars in front of the hotel. This was a waste of time and frustrating.”
