Ghost hotel with lots of routers but no staff

The place was generally clean but there were hairs and random pieces of rubbish still in the room. The toilet is extremely temperamental and does not always flush, it also refills during the night so needs to be turned off at the valve to get any sleep. We couldn't connect to any of the multitude of routers that we were given passwords to (or did connect but to be told that the service was suspended for unpaid bills). Not having broadband was an annoying issue as being tourists, we don't have local phone contracts with unlimited data to use. Staff were unseen and uncontactable, we tried messaging and calling several times. Despite recieving a lot of automated emails, there seemed to be no actual humans available throughout our stay, physically or virtually. If anything goes wrong, good luck finding someone to talk to. Fine if you need somewhere to crash and sleep that's cheap.

I stayed 2 nites as a solo female. The location is great, Polk Street is a block away & there are a myriad of bars, shopping & dining options, for a range of budgets. I just needed lodging with private bath & 24-hr front desk, as i was in town to attend an event that went late into the night & wanted to be able to access my room any time. My room was clean, linens were crisp, i barely heard any other guests but - if this is an issue for you, it wasn't for me- normal city traffic sounds can inevitably be heard (bc you ARE in a city). The water pressure in the shower was excellent, although the glass shower door wouldnt close shut all the way, causing shower water to spill out onto the bathroom floor. Checking in was simple & overall i would definitely stay again. Highly recommended for solo travelers.

I won't be coming back to the Calista Organic Hotel. I recommend that you don't either. Customer Service is virtually nonexistent. There is manager at the property. I had a number of problems while at the property. When I tried to contact the manager, I got no response until i mentioned that I would reference his lack of response in my review. I needed Wi-Fi for my work. When I asked about the Wi-Fi I was told that they would have a technician check the server. This never happened. There was no Wi-Fi in my room for the duration of my stay I had planned on cooking in my room as the hotel claims to have a kitchenette. This was not possible as the hotel provides nothing by way of dishes, cutlery or pots and pans. There wasn't as much as a plastic cup with which to brush my teeth. The hotel does not provide maid service as they claim. I spilled coffee on my sheets on day 1. I slept on dirty sheets for a week before I eventually found a maid. They claimed that you have to ask for maid service but there was no one to ask.

I’d stay there again.

Wi fi was a little tricky at first, but reliable thereafter. Staff was helpful, but this was only my second stay at a “non-contact” hotel. Takes a little getting used to, but well wait for the price, good location and best low cost hotel I’ve had in San Francisco.

Great place, great location. It’s a bit non-traditional- there’s no door person or a lobby… but the property is well managed and maintained. The cleaning crew is efficient and friendly, but also very quick. There’s no silverware or glasses, but the fridge and BevMo across the street provide just fine. Also, its hot water and water pressure are great!

Do not stay here. We arrived at the hotel, there was nobody there to greet us and the hotel immediately did not look like it did on the ad. We then went up to the room on a very old and unsafe elevator and the room did not have light for the bathroom or lock for the main door and the door trim looked like someone had opened the door forcefully. The doors were dirty and the sheets had stains. We had to leave. I booked a hotel elsewhere. I’d like a refund.
