The location of the Dorel was perfect, centrally located within walking distance of downtown and other neighborhoods like Japantown, Chinatown, North Beach, Pacific Heights etc. Coffee shops, restaurants, and a park were within walking distance as well.
The room was clean and cozy - the bed takes up most of the room, and it’s ideal for relaxing or sleeping and if you’re going to be going out, which we did. The bathroom and shower were well-equipped too - hot water was available. There was a small fridge as well, and closets and drawers for our clothes, though we didn’t unpack our suitcases. There was laundry in the building and a fully-equipped communal kitchen downstairs. The kitchen was beautifully decorated for the holidays and it was the perfect vibe.
The only problem I faced was that I couldn’t figure out how to draw the blinds on the window closed, despite trying.
If you’re looking for comfort and a great location and you love exploring and hanging out in San Francisco, the Dorel certainly doesn’t disappoint! Best of all, you do get value for money, which is the most important thing.
