Great hotel in fab central location

I loved my stay at Handlery. The staff are really lovely, rooms are spacious and clean and well equipped with everything you need to be comfortable. I enjoyed using the pool too. I felt safe and had every need met. Nothing was too much trouble. I will book again without hesitation.

La estancia fue excelente en este hotel , Tony y Joyce en la recepción fueron súper amables y por unos inconvenientes en nuestra habitación nos movieron a un aún más grande y sin cargo extra. La Psicina está climatizada así que aunque había algo de frío la disfrutamos y tienen un área de Sauna la cual Recervas por hora es incluido y privado, espectacular. Caminando tienes muchos restaurantes y el área es segura. Super recomendable , en mi próxima visita me encantaría hospedarme en el mismo lugar.

Just enough to not be homeless during your trip

Great location near stores and small restaurants, the entire neighborhood has questionable citizens that ruins the entire neighborhood however the rooms are extremely small there also was blood stains on the door that I complained about the maintenance guy shrugged me off and basically looked at me as delusional. I wouldn’t stay here again and don’t recommend

Good but dated

The Handlery is a good but somewhat dated hotel that's well-situated for exploring San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. Located a stone's throw away from Union Square the hotel is right in the heart of the city and within easy walking distance of numerous transit options. Check-was straightforward and the staff were helpful. The premier room I received was roomy and comfortable enough but the décor and overall feel was dated. The basics were good but other amenities were subpar. The wifi was slow and unreliable, the power outlets would cut out if you used a high-power USB-C charger, and the in-room safe was broken. The hotel pool was heated decently but was small. A nicely-equipped fitness center was on the premises as an alternative exercise option. Although the hotel itself lacks a restaurant numerous food options were in easy reach. As for the immediate neighborhood, it seemed to avoid the worst of SF's homeless and druggy situation but not entirely, so best not to just let your guard down. Taking this all together made the Handlery an okay place to stay but just okay. Serviceable rather than superb.
