Delightful hotel with a great location. The rooms are very small and a bit overpriced with the World Cup in town but still delightful even over paying for the size of the space.

As a solo woman traveling, I appreciated the safety of three areas needing codes: front door, elevator, room. My room had twin beds for one or two guests. Clean, huge bathroom, good shower, many amenities. First time I had a personal Nespresso in the room with unlimited pods. And a tea kettle with tea selection as well as two bottles for filtered water available in the lobby. Comfortable bed, balcony, and staff that quickly responded to any need. The street billows with bars, restaurants, and a wonderful French bakery. I enjoyed my stay.

Absolutely 10/10 would recommend to anyone and totally worth the price. Everything was nearly perfect from the location, cleanliness, safety, amenities, hospitality, check in/out instructions and overall communication. One of the many reasons why the beloved queer community does everything ✨right✨! Love love Hotel Castro!!
