My son and I had a short stay at The Stratford, we found it to be excellent. We requested a Twin Room, we were given one towards the back of the building which was very quiet - we heard no street noise at all. The room appeared to be brand new, impeccably clean, and very comfortable. Best of all is the location - The Stratford is easy walking distance to the Cable Car terminus on Powell St, and all manner of public transport including BART, buses/trolleys and trams. Lovely hotel in a great part of town - highly recommended! Mark and Toby, Brisbane, Australia.
