COVA Hotel

As our taxi drove through area I was thinking to myself what the hell have I booked, why the hell did I chose this area? Was met at reception by 2 very polite gentlemen, who booked us in very quickly and explained to us abit about area, about their free shuttle buses down to main tourist areas and about the airport shuttle we could book (which turned out to be 90% cheaper than taxi I had just paid for). The reception area was lovely and clean. Our room was bigger than expecting, clean and comfortable. Alittle noise from outside through the night but sure you would get that at any hotel in san fran. Bathroom was lovely too. Breakfast was also suprizely good, alot more choice than I was expecting for price we paid,was hot,cold,yoghurt,cereal,pastries,muffins something for everyone. Only issue we had was not very big for amount of guests, the 1st morning was fine but 2nd they struggled to find us a seat and we ended up sitting right by door where people would push past trying to get in and out,maybe a time slot booking system would be ideal for them. But all in all, was lovely hotel. Area abit daunting but my advice would be don't wonder about, make use of the free shuttles to union square.

We have just come back from staying here and visiting San Francisco. Hotel is perfect, comfy beds friendly staff and good location. There are LOADS of homeless around in tents,smelling of either wee or weed! They do however leave you alone. Breakfast was good! Unfortunately while I was there I had my mobile phone snatched outside the Uber headquarters while I was taking a photo a young guy on his scooter came up and snatched my phone....I of course reported it to the police and they just said unfortunately it happens in San Francisco and they probably just wanted a quick sale for drugs! When I told the hotel they said if you go to the civic centre it would probably be there,that's where they turn up....I however didn't go there and fortunate that it was just my phone and not bank cards...just gutted I lost photos!!! So be warned and careful. We visited all the major sites and walked everywhere but did get the famous cable cars on the third day, as the hills are really steep! Overall I enjoyed the city,but out of all the states I've visited I prefer New York. I've visited Miami,Los Angeles,Las Vegas and I saw more homeless in San Francisco. The hotel was good...you can't fault the hotel! And free wine and soft drinks between 5-7pm. After 7pm you don't really want to go out....

Take advantage of the wonderful services provided by Cova! The hotel is clean and the staff is wonderful! The neighborhood may be a bit disconcerting, but the transportation provided by the hotel helps guests avoid some of the unsettling sidewalk residents.

Just returned from the Cova Hotel in the tenderloin district of San Francisco, after reading other reviews regarding the number of down and outs living on the streets in the vinicty yes there were down and outs but didn't worry me at all. I found the hotel to be very clean, excellent reception service from the young lady called Kim. The complimentary breakfast was a bonus, and very adequate for my needs, there was a daily free transfer bus to take you to Fisherman's Wharf or Union Square and collect you please remember to book in advance the transfers with reception. Also you can book an airport transfer from the hotel reception at nearly half the price of a taxi, and very efficient, wouldn't hesitate to book at this hotel again thank you.

The rooms were ok, especially the bed was very ok. Room was very cold and it took couple of days for me to understand to leave the electronic heeter on for the day so that the room was warm in the evening. I couldnt leave the heeter on for the night because it was very nousy ! The other problem for me was that I coudnt buy coffee and the pop-up Bar was open only 3 hours. And every time the glasses run out in the Bar. Torally different issue was that the neigbourhood is the most dangerous in SFO ; streets full of drug addicts and homeless. Fortunately I was a part of big group and had company when I went outside the hotel walking. I absolutely don't recommend this hotel if one is alone and used to go everywhere by himself.
