I have stayed at Hotel Del Sol a number of times. It had been some years since my last visit to San Francisco but I was looking forward to my stay. It's a great friendly nicely located travel motel in a fun section of town. I have stayed at the top end hotels in downtown San Francisco but my preference remains the Hotel Del Sol. Walk a couple of blacks to the marina, fun shopping, great restaurants.

The only thing that bothered me was the sort of musty odor that was in the room. I'm not sure if musty is the right word but it's that smell that sometimes comes with a travel sort of motel. Perhaps when they upgrade the room with new carpeting this will go away. My wife who has a much keener sense of smell than I do was not bothered by it all. Of course by the third day I no longer actively noticed it. ,,, but I would certainly return.

The hotel has great summer colourful vibe, with the swimming pool in the courtyard it doesn't even feel like your are in the middle of the city. The reception staff were very nice and friendly and the location simply fantastic. There is no breakfast room but you can either take the amazing pastries into your room or enjoy them on the outside patio / terrace. Everything was clean and well kept, we really liked our stay here.

Even though the hotel seemed to be quite empty at the time of our stay, on our second night there were other guests placed in the room directly above us and were stomping and being overall noisy since early morning.

Location felt very safe. Even though you had to pay for the somewhat limited on-site parking, it felt so much safer than leaving it somewhere in the city. Rooms were on the smaller side, but beds were very comfortable. Also, our room had a spacious closet so you could store all your luggage and shoes so it felt less cramped. Staff was very kind. Breakfast was an assortment of pastries and croissants, yogurt, fruit, etc.

Great location. Nice rooms and pool. Fab layout of rooms with views over the pool area and the city above on the hills. Breakfast is fine. Coffee pretty good. We’ve been before and came again as had such a great time the first time. It’s easy to get to. Parking is easy (paid). Everything is great! Ok it’s a little tatty in places but overall a fun, quirky place to stay in a great location!

Carpets on stairs needs addressing in places. Maybe add another (savoury) option to the breakfasts?

The size of the room was great. The breakfast was good and the pool was a nice addition. The staff was super nice and tried their best to accommodate us.

I slept on the sofa bed, it was not comfortable. Parking was confusing. We were told two different things in regards to parking in the hotel lot. We ended up parking across the way, but the price was pretty reasonable.

The staff really makes the place. Don’t get me wrong, the motel is great but when you have staff that really goes out of their way to help you and provide tips, that is what makes a place. The location is great for walking. 10/10 recommend.

We didn’t dislike anything.

-Very practical room with big walk-in closet. -Secured paid parking within the compound (subject to availability) -Service is very nice. -Good basic breakfast is included. -Very good location -Family friendly vibes

-limited breakfast selection. -parking is a bit pricey and limited in-compound parking. -no exhaust fan in the restroom

Cute little property, very brightly decorated and the staff were wonderful. There were some renovations going on but overall the rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable.

The rooms were a tad bit small, so there’s not much empty space to move around the beds. Also, no dedicated space for breakfast indoors - it’s a grab and go - but the outdoor patio area was nice and usually dry for eating. That’s about it!

When we asked for clean towels, tissues, and soap, they were immediately provided. We appreciate the secure parking in the city. We appreciated the two chairs so we could eat breakfast in our room due to the rainy weather.

I think parking could have been 5-10 dollars less.

Everything, in order of amazingness: 1. Every staff person is friendly and eager to help. 2. Bed is very comfy and guests control room temp. 3. Colorful remodel is fun and the location is perfect.

Nothing. I could get the TV streaming to work via my iPhone but I almost never watch TV so I didn’t care.
