Nice hotel in the heart of little Italy! Bed was comfy, decent water pressure, and about a 15 min walk from all the places you’d want to visit in DT SD. Would definitely recommend.

The location is great. It is an older hotel. It was clean. The coffee was good. The 25/day in and out parking was convenient and reasonable.

Lovely location if you want to be in Little Italy. Actually closer to all of the ‘main points’ than I expected. Breakfast was a grab and find a space to eat - but you’re just going to take it and sit at the square at the end of the block. Room was lovely. Small - but the location dictates that.

We absolutely enjoy staying at Urban Boutique in Little Italy! It’s convenient to all the festive activities including the Farmers Market wall of the amazing restaurants in the immediate area! Conveniently located within walking distance to the Embarcadero/waterfront and a block away from the Trolley tours stop,

8/10 Very good

We really enjoyed out stay at the hotel. We had the King Superior room, and the size was more than adequate. The staff were extremely friendly, and always visible and available. The location was great for restaurants in Little Italy, and the Gaslamp quarter was a 15 minute walk or $3 Waymo ride. On Saturday we also experienced the farmers market which was right outside the door. Parking was also very good. We used the loading zone when checking in / out, and then the parking garage was 2 blocks away at $23 a night. We would definitely recommend this hotel and stay there again

It was simple, but cute and super close and central to lots of places to walk to including public transportation. Staff was friendly and we had a really visit. My wife and I would recommend especially if you are looking for a place where you can get around without a car. It's also only about 10 minutes from the airport.
