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.

Quaint, Clean, etc...
Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Location is wonderfully close to shopping/Union Square Park... Room was TINY and walls were paper thin. There was a glass "shelf" over the sink that left no room for you to really wash your face/brush your teeth without you either maneuvering left or right, otherwise you were sure to hit your head on it! Room was always kept clean. The organic coffee they had in the lobby from 7a to 10a was good. I wouldn't stay again, but if you are on a tight budget, it's a decent, clean place to stay in.

A sometimes biz traveler
Not luxury, but convenient and affordable
Staff was nice - room was tiny, but had private bath, which I prefer to shared bath. Ended up w/ medical emergency and had to stay extra night - staff very accommodating. Close to Bart and where I needed to go for work. A little loud, but every hotel in SF seems to have that problem.

Fabulous
All I can say is WOW! The Mosser hotel was wonderful. The location was right in the heart of San Francisco, which was perfect for enjoying all the festivities. When you walked out of the front door you had access to everything. The customer service was a 10 and the hotel itself was magnificent. I stayed in a room with a single bed for two. The display of the room was very unique and cozy. I could tell the hotel was very aware of the environment by going green and being efficient with the layout. So if your looking for a wonderful place to stay, I would definitely recommend The Mosser. All I can say is nice.

Simple, ample, lovely time
In town for a week of opera. Easy access to all transportation and a myriad of restaurants and shopping. Coffee and muffins each AM a nice extra. Free internet kiosk in the lobby. Shared bath not a problem. Excellent beds and linens. Very clean throughout. Staff tried 3 times to fix the TV which I finally diagnosed and got working. Very nice, helpful people. Would go back without question.

While there are a great number of homeless in SF, they are by no means unique to this neighborhood and were never threatening or troublesome. Just sad.

Location, location, location!!!
This was my third time staying at this hotel and all 3 times I've been very pleased with my room. While the rooms are tiny and the "facilities" are down the hall, the rooms and the hotel in general are clean, well maintained, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. As a single traveler, I generally don't spend my vacation time sitting in my hotel room anyway so the size of the room isn't really an issue for me. I'm out and about and use my room just for sleeping. The Mosser Hotel is just around the corner from the front door of the Westfield Shopping Center and the F train which runs down Market St. all the way to Fisherman's Wharf. Two blocks to Union Square for more shopping and hopping on tour buses. Annabelle's Restaurant right next door is very good but is a bit pricey. But there are plenty of dining options all around Union Square. If sharing "facilities" is not your cup of tea, you can pay more for a room with your own bathroom. As long as you are aware ahead of time that the rooms are TINY !!!! that shouldn't be a problem. It's the only reason I rate my stay 4 stars instead of 5. The next time I'm in S.F.I will stay at the Mosser again.The price is worth it for me.

a fine place to stay
It's located at a really nice downtown area. you don't have to worry about the transportation at all because it's right beside the BART station. However, the room is really small, and you could overhear people talking next door or on the hallway.

Unbeatable location for the price
The room was very small, but the location of the hotel was great. Considering the price, you can't find any hotel better than this one.
