My second stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic. There is no parking but that is clearly stated and in any of the pricey hotels I've stayed in the area parking is +$40 per night. There are shared bathrooms but that is clearly stated upfront AND the bathrooms are spotless, I think they're cleaned throughout the day. Front desk is open 24/7 and friendly and helpful. I'll definitely stay there again.
The Urban is a smidge more than a hostel, with small rooms and shared bathrooms… but the service was excellent and the location couldn’t be better. You are 200ft from Chinatown, just upstairs of Starbucks, and within 20 mins or so walking distance to the financial district with high end shops or to the ferry for further reach. The building is access-controlled so you are safe and everything was clean and comfortable. I absolutely would stay again!
At 4 AM, on Saturday 5/25 I woke up to the front desk blasting music and singing to it at the top of their lungs. Very unprofessional

I needed a cost effective and safe place to stay that was walkable to Moscone center and other evening events for a conference. I got in much earlier than check-in time and was able leave my bag at the desk, as well as had a quick check-in later that night. The room was small, but clean and had a sink and mirror in the room. It was also pretty quiet after 10pm. The shared bathroom and showers in the hall were usually empty when I needed them. The bathroom with the toilet and sink pretty clean, the shower area was not that clean, so glad I brought shower shoes.
The rooms were small but clean. Exactly as described. Shared bathrooms were clean but a little outdated. Older building. Staff was friendly and location perfect to Chinatown and walkable to many sites
The location of this hotel is very convenient. Very close to Chinatown and Downtown. The room I had was a single bedroom, very good and clean for a solo traveller. The bed I had was a bit noisy with every movement I did but nothing major. The restrooms and showers were regularly being cleaned 👌
