The whole aesthetic and idea behind the hotel is awesome, and very affordable which I think is a big deal. The art is super cool and at least in my room had humorous undertones. My only issue is the walls are super thin and not at all soundproof and the beds are poor quality.

I had a very disappointing stay. The hotel did not feel secure at all, the hallways and room were dirty, and the constant smell of weed made it uncomfortable. This is not the experience I expected.

This hotel really ia dedicates to the art. Diverse original art makes every room different. Good location. Good price. My first stay at a no-front-desk hotel. It worked pretty well and help was available by phone. Poor choices on the TV.

Considering the cost/night, it’s not that worthy. Room was quite small with average cleaning and the shared bathroom not always clean. We paid 423€ for three nights - definitely not worthing cost-benefit. Positive note, customer service team was very nice and always available for support.

I’m stayed at hotel des arts and had an incredibly terrible experience. I woke up with tons of very painful and itchy bites on my neck. I’m in unsure if it is bed bugs but i did not feel comfortable staying here any longer so I vacated immediately after my first night on Thursday. I was supposed to stay check out on Sunday but left early Friday morning letting the front desk know of my troubles who felt terrible. They let me know since I booked through expedia I would need to request the refund through them but would be able to approve it. I then chatted with not one but two expedia agents whom both also felt awful and reassured me I would be refunded and compensated for this inconvenience. I was charged in full $420 to not even stay there, leave with huge bites that that I am honestly still dealing with days later. Disappointed is an understatement, I truly hope I can be compensated fairly for this experience in the near future.

Good and bad

The electrocic/app key situation was problematic. When we tried to get it resolved, nothing came of it. There is no front desk person and the water took 10+ min to warm up in the shower one of the days. Rooms were super cute. The art was awesome and the bed was comfortable. The location was ideal and the downstairs bar was fun and friendly.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff was nice but she was one person, a cleaning lady. My room was above the bar so I could hear every bass line from every song until 3am each night. That's when the music from the Irish Bank next door didn't overcome the music from the bar below. (The bar is amazing though). Just not so quiet. I only found 1 cockroach on my final day so I count this as a victory.

1. The bed is the cheapest model they could find, felt like you were laying on an eggcrate over plywood, with the exception of the large steel beam going right down the middle of the bed that you really felt dig into your back anytime you tried to move. 2. No AC/heat. This is not a nice new hotel building. This is an old old SF building and while nice hotels put in those amenities for their guests, this hotel feels it's fine that you sweat in your room while sitting still. 3. Ventilation. There was one window in the room. It opened onto an enclosed lightwell with a bunch of the other rooms and the cackling girls from the other rooms filled that entire space and permeated my hotel room even with the window closed. The window which had broken blinds and no screen so, you know, bugs flying in. Also, no window in the bathroom which I'm pretty sure is a violation. 4. There were holes in the walls. 5. There was an electric cord coming out of the wall going to nothing just dangling out of the wall. 6. The only plug I had to use was a multi-prong extension cord just laying on the floor under the desk. 7. The art didn't cover everything so there were just patches of drywall and unpainted walls. 8. I'm pretty sure someone died in the closet since it looks like a serial killer hiding space. 9. The furniture (nightstand and desk) felt like they had been found discarded on the street and put into the room

Very unique property design and style, especially the rooms. Loved the area, right beside Chinatown and a couple blocks from high-end designer stores. Never felt unsafe.
