The old school flare and decor was inviting and the room was spacious yet cozy. The bed was comfortable. Within walking distance to Union square and lots of dining, shopping and transportation. Later on in our stay we noticed the window latch was not operable. While we notified the staff, unfortunately it was not corrected before we left. Please check your windows and maybe they can change your room if it's an issue.

Would be great with a little care.
It was a cool hotel but it is a little neglected. The mattress was worn out and uncomfortable and there was not water pressure.

My husband and I stayed here for a few days and it’s a pretty convenient place to stay if you are here to tour around the city. Buses and trains are a walking distance and there’s a bunch of shopping stores around also. We were looking for an affordable place that’s decent enough to stay for a few da and Touch Stone was just that. Gotta shout out to Juliet who had outstanding hospitality service and made our stay worth while and beyond helpful!

It was in a very bad area. Lots of homeless people around the building. The shower was impossible to get to stay at any temperture. It was boiling hot or freezing cold every 10 seconds.

I don’t know if there’s anything different I can say from my other reviews. Staying at the touchstone is always a great experience. This time around, I had an economy room, but it was still very comfortable. The staff are always great to deal with and are very helpful, and the rooms are very clean and the beds are super comfortable. I had something to do with the holiday, but there was an awful lot of noise and unsafe activity going on outside of the property. I cannot attribute this to the staff or owners. It is what it is, it’s just how San Francisco is. Still, I would advise folks to ensure that they, be mindful about them when they were walking out onto Geary St., And also to be careful after dark. One amenity I cannot speak about enough is David’s Diner Right next-door. It’s been a staple of mine to go have breakfast in the morning, and the Choice of dishes and quality of the food are second to none.

Always happy to leave a great review for this hidden gem of a hotel. Once again, I had a wonderful experience staying here. The staff are always friendly and helpful The room is super clean and secure, with an extremely comfortable bed. Being directly connected to David’s Diner downstairs is also a bonus, as this restaurant has some really great breakfast offerings. As with many hotels Near Union Square, and beyond in the city, the surrounding areas need a little bit of diligence when traveling as they can be noisy and peppered with homeless activity, but I cannot fault the hotel for any of that. This establishment will continue to be on my list of go to hotels Continue to divide my time between San Francisco and New York.

Great inexpensive hotel.
The hotel is a bit spartan, but rooms are very clean, and fine for a few nights. The price was excellent, and location off of Union Square is great. WiFi was excellent. No frills, no extra bells and whistles.
