Very inexpensive old style hotel. I think it's partially residential hotel which gives it a quirky vibe. Great common room for cooking and coffee.

Best value in San Francisco by far. One block from Union Square and Chinatown, across the street Sutter-Stockton Garage. Simple, clean room. No thermostat but comfortable nonetheless. Snack area with coffee machine. Big screen TV. In the middle of everything. Will recommend to others on a tighter budget.

Great stay

Booked a room at the Ikon for its proximity to my intended destination and its charm (old-fashion building), all at a very reasonable price-point. Room was super clean, comfy, bedding of good quality. Staff was welcoming and super nice. All in all a great stay.

The staff here was so friendly, and welcoming. The person at the front desk was considerate and always greeted me, even when I was rushing out the door. I forgot some food in the fridge in my room when I checked out, and when I called to ask if I could come pick it back up, they put the food container in a plastic bag, put my name on it, and stored it with the rest of my luggage. I was so thankful for this! Overall the hotel was small albeit charming, and my stay was comfortable. For the price, I was really pleased with the service and quality.

Hotel Ikon was amazing! We loved how close it was located to shops, various food options and public transport. The staff were amazing and super accommodating, they even let us check in early on short notice. The room was decently sized and very clean, it was also great to have a laundry room and basic kitchen facilities to use during our stay. We will definitely be staying again on our next trip to San Fran!

The staff is super friendly, helpful & made check in easy. I've stayed before & preferred the upper floors, like the 4th floor, they seem quieter than the 2nd floor rooms. Everything was clean & tidy & the area is centrally located. I will stay here again!

I booked this property based on price and location. It was offered at a great rate (based on the date booked, New Years Eve). This property was my 2nd choice for booking (based on rate) but very quickly be came my 1st due the increased safety I felt over my 1st choice. It is quite close to Union Square. The property is dated but retains character. The two staff members I dealt with were very friendly. I routinely travel to that area, in hopes of finding cheap and safe lodging, and this is the property that I will now search first when needing to stay in that area. And just an FYI, it’s pretty close to the BART. Thanks Ikon, see you again!

If you’re looking for simplicity, this is the spot

My “go to” hotel in SF. I go to San Francisco quite often for work and have stayed in quite a few hotels over the years. I love this place because it’s not fancy, it’s very basic, no frills. It feels safe when coming and going, too. Near Chinatown and North Beach so plenty of good food near by. And a short walk to BART & Muni so you can get anywhere.

Property is old but in a great location and priced pretty well for what you get. The staff is great though, and it's clean. My only complaint is that it smelled pretty bad during my stay, that I had to keep the windows open while I was there.

For a man traveling alone, Hotel Ikon is acceptable lodging. Marijuana smoke was overpowering at times and I had to put a towel to cover the one inch space at the bottom of the door.
