Axiom Hotel, San Francisco
Expert reviews
“The Axiom Hotel aims to reflect the city that it’s in. Being tech-forward is the focus of this six-story, 152-room hotel, which opened in February 2016. iPad check-ins, fast and free fiber-optic Wi-Fi and breakfast tables featuring places for each diner to plug in a gadget, for example.”
“Green, pet-friendly, and equipped with fiber-optic wireless Internet, the tech-oriented Axiom—a splashy refresh of a 1908 hotel—nimbly provides a boutique experience business and leisure travelers applaud.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in San Francisco.
“The downtown location of this ‘tech-savvy’ boutique hotel is especially convenient: guests can step out of the building and right into the queue at the Powell-Hyde Cable Car turnaround. Contemporary rooms and vintage arcade games make for a fun and fashionable meeting of old and new.”

Pleasant
Clean modern interiors in a convenient location
Every footstep can be heard from the floor above. Also noises from the outside interfered with a comfortable night's sleep.

A comfortable stay
The hotel was nice, the room had what we needed and was comfortable. The room service robot was so much fun! The room service was delicious, which was just what we needed after a long fight! The reception area was nice and there was lots of room to relax on the first floor! The location was great in terms of watching the historic cable cars and getting on them early and beating the queues.
The location was good in terms of union square and being perfect for getting on the cable cars, but the area in general has a lot of drug users and we didn’t want to go out late at night. But this would have been the case for any hotel in this area.

Very good
It was very clean and the smart TV is customizable. They have two elevators and a main staircase for floor access and each floor is equipped with a water dispenser and ice maker. The small boutique gym is located in the basement, equipped with plenty to be able to complete a great workout. There is also an ATM located on the basement floor which I thought was a great note that should be mentioned. The cafe in the lobby was also super convenient and pretty tasty, a bit limited but it will get the job done for a quick stay. However, if you do elect in-room dining, don't be surprised when the hotel robot is the one to deliver your order to you. You will receive a call first to your room to let you know once it's arrived outside your door. It's a pretty neat technology touch. Also, for my MUA lovers Sephora is literally right next door, on the cable car side of the hotel, as the main floor hallway extends through to both sides of the street. The WF mall is 5 minutes away walking distance. But I do caution the area (Tenderloin) due to the multitude of present homeless people unfortunately, similar to many areas in CA though.
I really don't have anything bad to say aside from minor particulars like the size of my double room. It did feel a bit stuffy at times in size, but from what I have been told, that's just most of SF for you. I do caution the area (Tenderloin) due to the multitude of present homeless people unfortunately. I did not have a bad experience with anyone necessarily, but I did get the occasional shouting, asking for change and I just really didn't feel comfortable walking alone outside of daylight.

Definitely would come back
Really good hotel. Price/value was really good. Rooms are fine although the central AC is not working (hot or cold) so they use the mobile units which takes a lot of space and the rooms are not big. Finally out mobile AC wasn’t working properly. But it was fine. Really liked it and would recommend it definitely.
Small rooms and mobile AC units occupies lot of space and ours wasn’t working properly

Very good refitted historic downtown hotel.
Very good historic downtown hotel. Recently redecorated. Room nice and clean, with everything needed. Good sized towel for shower. Reasonably quiet (it is downtown after all). 11ft ceilings make the rooms feel airy.
Decor could be less dark, but to each their own.

Very good
The location was perfect - within walking distance of so much and right next to public transportation for everything else. Steps to BART with a direct train to the airport. The staff was very helpful.
The room was small, which is in keeping with the price.

Pleasant
Location is good if you want to stay in Union square, which is a terrible locatio
No employees, looks like a hostel.
18 November 2023
Wonderful hotel reception with minimalistic decor in a tastefully planned layout.
Hotel is pretty new and offers a nice gym in addition to great room amenities. Coffee is fabulous there and the hotel is easily located within the city tram round-about.
Car parking options are limited, apart from valet, nearest option being a multi storey car parking place about 500m walk away

A wonderful stay
The location is perfect; the room is spotless clean. I had a very pleasant 8-night stay.
San Francisco downtown is getting worse after Covid. I hope everything will be better next year.

Great hotel and enjoyed our stay, shame about location for us
Staff very friendly, great facilities and room was very comfortable and clean.
Central enough location but if we were to go to San Fran again we'd stay closer to Fisherman's Wharf area.

Very good
Central location, easily accessed via public transport from the airport. Cable car stop right outside that takes you up the steep hills right to fisherman's wharf.
The corridors are very dark. There are a lot of homeless people in the area.

Great accommodations
Excellent location in terms of mass transit (cable car, BART, etc).
The entire area around Union Square has fallen on hard times.
