Modern boutique hotel with recording studio near Union Square
Quirky, modern and ultra-hip, The Mosser Hotel is the only lodging option in San Francisco with a state-of-the-art recording studio on premises. Rooms in this Union Square hotel are clean and efficient. All have platform beds, while some have private bathrooms and others share. Annabelle's Bar & Bistro, the on-site restaurant, utilizes organic ingredients sourced directly from area farms.
Highlights
- State-of-the-art recording studio
- On-site Annabelle's Bar & Bistro
- Platform beds
- Walking distance to shopping at Union Square and Westfield Centre mall
Rooms
"The Mosser," as it's known locally, has 166 rooms in all -- 112 deluxe rooms with private bathrooms and 54 "economical" rooms with shared hall baths for travelers on smaller budgets. Each room boasts platform beds and vanity sinks. Rooms also come standard with robes, ceiling fans, hair dryers and free Wi-Fi. Many rooms have windows that look out onto busy city streets; some even have reading nooks built into bay windows.
Features
Opened in 1913 as the Keystone Hotel, the historic property was completely redesigned in 2003 and now feels modern and chic.
The centerpiece of that redesign was Studio Paradiso, a state-of-the-art recording studio that is available to hotel guests. Other standard amenities include ironing boards, two-line telephones and custom-designed furniture.
In early 2010, the hotel announced a commitment to embrace eco-friendly products in all the rooms. The Mosser family donates a portion of all hotel proceeds to reforestation, literacy and educational projects.
Dining
For a fabulous cocktail or tasty sandwich, pull up a stool at Annabelle's Bar & Bistro, a French-style eatery located on the ground floor. The restaurant features an eclectic wine selection.

Room comes with noise and no coffee maker.
Staff recommended drinking tap water. Room noisy and uses ceiling fan dangling above bed. Linen not clean. No desk in room. Compared to other places, I would not recommend this location.

Fantastic convention location, but know what you're in for
I stayed at The Mosser in late January for a convention at Moscone. If you're in town for a convention, the location is perfect: Moscone West is just two short blocks south. The rooms are, as described, really quite small. I stayed in a shared queen, and the arrangement of the bed was quite ridiculous. It's quite easy to see that this room was not intended for a bed of this size. When you walk in, you see the headboard against the wall, a quite conventional thing. But you'll notice that the pillows/etc are placed on the side of the bed, for you're expected - and indeed, it's necessary - to sleep sideways on the bed, with the headboard to your side. Fortunately the beds are quite comfortable. Like some other reviewers have mentioned, the rooms get quite warm. The heaters do not turn off, and the window was stuck, so for the first few days my room became a hot, sweltering mess. Fortunately we eventually got the window opened and it was much more comfortable, at the expense of increased street noise. A word of warning if you're booking through here, however. When I checked in, the front desk did not understand that I had already (pre)paid for my room, through the site. The problem was quickly remedied via a call to support, where the operator contacted the hotel and informed them of the situation (I had to do this the next morning, as presumably the staff did not communicate this to the next shift). Just have the phone number ready so that you can have them clear up any problems.

I'm telling both my Mom and kids about the Mosser!
Next time we come to San Fran - we do the art scene, galleries etc., I want to bring my mother to stay as well at the Mosser for it's authentically renovated, comfortable, gracious and clean. Also. I'm passing on the recommendation to my married children as a perfect respite holiday place in a winderfully interesting city. If I'm full of superlatives, it's because it was a welcomed holiday in a very busy life that didn't have many hitches - and those had nothing to do with the Mosser. Julie Oakes

Short walk from hotel
Food court at "The Emporium" was good for a guy like me. It is just half a block on market street on the same block as the hotel.

EXCELLENT for the location and price!!!
The location is perfect for those who plan on using public transportation during their stay in San Francisco. It's literally a block away from ALL public transit that San Francisco has to offer. I booked the Deluxe Room with 1-double bed for me and my girlfriend. Pretty compact, but cozy. The look was very modern(that goes for the hotel as a whole) and I actually found it pretty clever how they went about with furnishing the room to save space. All the room amenities worked perfectly. Most importantly, the room was SPOTLESS, as well as the lobby and the halls. The staff was nothing short of 5 stars from our experience. We were greeted on the way out every morning just as kindly as the first day we arrived. In fact, they even allowed us to check in an hour early, since our flight arrived much earlier than anticipated. In short, I would suggest a stay here for anyone who is looking for an affordable quality stay and plans on taking public transportation throughout their trip in SF.

The Mosser Hotel
Location: Very good; edge of downtown and very close to the BART/MUNI transit stations Room: Clean but very small. Had a problem with the heat that was never fixed; heat seemed to "leak" from radiator even when turned off. Other: Free coffee and muffins every morning!
