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.

Great value and quiet no frills stay. Very close to Union Square and Chinatown. Sutter Stockton garage directly across the street. Perfect for quick overnight SF requirements

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!

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 chose this hotel for the price, and it has been upgraded since my last stay. The bed was comfortable and the place was clean. The location is safe and walkable. The desk staff folks were especially friendly.

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.

Clean and a Great Value
I was pleasantly surprised by the Hotel Ikon. It is an old hotel, and doesn't have many amenities. But the rooms are clean, the beds and linens clean and soft, the wifi was good, The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location is fantastic, just a block off Powell Street and a couple of blocks from Union Square.
If you want a clean, no-frills hotel in a great location and a good price, the Hotel Ikon is hard to beat.

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.
