Nice hotel for the budget conscious
Honestly, I liked my stay there, the hotel has a certain charm to and was close to where I needed to be - the SFJazz venue and Chinatown. But it might not be for everyone, you are sharing a small restroom and another decent size shower located outside your room. Its almost like a hostel but your room is private. But for the price and location, its pretty good.

Very friendly
I cannot express how friendly and helpful staff was. We felt safe with the security (being buzzed in to the hotel). We had originally booked another hotel and that hotel was sketchy and canceled our reservations with no notice so we reserved the Layne Hotel. Would stay here again!

Great value stay in a convenient location. Hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful. The building is heritage, the rooms nicely done up, the shared bathrooms fairly small. Would stay again.

San Fco Downton my first time, that’s bad , No AC in the room , so you need open the windows to refresh, but the noise of the homeless can’t let you relax.

Great location and Staff are super
The stay at Layne was great, the manager and staff are all really friendly and helpful. Everything was good at the hotel, it is not fancy. The hotel is well located for getting around San Fran. I would stay again.

Wonderful stay at the Layne
The layne was a wonderful stay, Randy was very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed my stay very much and if in the area again I will stay here again. It is also a very good location close to all points of interest. I loved the old elevator as well so would definitely recommend staying here.
