My family and I enjoyed our stay. The hotel was very clean and quiet. We didn't realize a continental breakfast was included, so unfortunately we didn't get to try it. But we will be back in the future.

El Castell was centrally located and perfectly priced. However, it was extremely loud at night. It might have been the particular guests staying in the hotel, or the surrounding area, but the hotel is older with minimal sound buffers.

We had a suite unit. Staff were beyond professional. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Was the most perfect unit for 5 people, so had three bed in an 1 bed suite; three real and comfortable beds, not a pull out! Very close to Fisherman’s Wharf. Would stay again here!

Interior is far superior than a two star motel. It is better than some of the three star hotels. One complaint, we had paper bags on the floor that we wanted to use but the room service took it.
