Old World Elegance

Hotel Julian is a gem of a restored hotel where two of Alfred Hitchcock's movies were filmed! From the window boxes of red and white geraniums to the huge rose velvet sectional and tiny but elegant bar and chic eating area, it was very impressive. The location was clean, walkable, and safe. The staff were welcoming and very pleasant. They stored our luggage while we were sightseeing during the day which was such a relief. Our room was small but extremely clean and had a huge TV, very comfy bed, coffeemaker, phone charger, and an enormous walk-in shower with lovely bodywash gel, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Can't emphasize enough what a cost-effective find this lovely small Hotel is. It's situated on Nob Hill and just a short distance from Union Square.

Looks like someone gave this place a facelift recently but forgot to include common sense in the renovation. The motion-sensor bathroom light is a nice idea—until it gives up mid-shower like it’s clocking out for lunch. Bonus fun: the shower door kept sliding open like it was trying to escape, so I had to MacGyver it shut with a towel. Room was clean, AC worked (thankfully), but the $30 early check-in fee just to hop on a conference call in peace felt unnecessary. Overall, it’s fine—but I wouldn’t go out of my way to stay here again. Decent bones, lacking brains.

Stay away from Hotel Julian.

Horrible. This hotel does not care about cleanliness in the rooms, has terrible service with no follow through, and there are flies in the lobby. The elevator broke down. That’s the summary. Here’s the detail. We checked in and there was hair all over the floors, on the bathroom towels, and in the shower. We asked for more towels, never got them. Next morning the room service knocked and we said please clean our room once we leave and bring extra towels. They never came back. The elevator broke down during our stay leaving us to move luggage around 5 flights of stairs. We went to leave and there was a swarm of flies in the hotel. Stay away from Hotel Julian.

I recently stayed at Hotel Julian and, unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The location is decent, situated in a central downtown area, and the building seems like an old hotel that has been renovated. However, the service and facilities did not meet expectations, especially considering the high price paid. On the first day, there was no heating in the room—I had to call the front desk to request it, which was quite inconvenient. The following day, there was no hot water at all. Again, I contacted the front desk, but even after waiting, the issue wasn’t resolved. I eventually had to switch rooms, which was frustrating and time-consuming. To make matters worse, I left the "Please clean the room" sign on the door, but housekeeping never showed up. No clean towels, no service. I had to call the front desk again, and they only provided temporary towels. The rooms themselves were just okay, but nothing special. The shower was extremely small and uncomfortable. Overall, despite the location, I don’t feel this hotel was worth the money. The service was poor, and the issues I faced should never happen in a hotel of this price range. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

the good: - clean, decently sized rooms - central area, walking distance to many desirable neighborhoods the bad: - building/hallways are really showing their age - no fridge - broken elevator! We had to walk up and down 7 flights to our room. This was only on the last two nights of our stay, but judging from the condition of the elevator I wouldn't be surprised if this was a common occurrence here.
