Mithila Hotel Shuttles

A low-cost but stylish way to enjoy the strange in-between of San Francisco’s Nob Hill and Tenderloin neighborhoods, the historic charm of Mithila Hotel offers the quietude of three levels as well as intimate views of Hyde Street’s bustling passerby. The front of the building is a striking work of art, while rooms offer simple seating areas and access to the fire escape. Larger rooms add a bit more space with bunk beds and quaint seating areas, general freebies available to all guests including continental breakfast and discount access to a nearby gym - also available are shuttles to San Francisco International Airport for a slight fee, plus connects to the light rail a few blocks east at the corner of Powell & Bush. For intimate self-guided tours, go with a rental instead, choosing between small sedans or group-friendly buses, meet-and-greet alternatives including simple taxis and luxe limousines.

A neighborhood surrounded by historic structures, shops and churches, Mithila Hotel makes it easy to experience the city in just one night. Look forward to big things with a quick stroll around the block, interesting landmarks including the nearby vintage atmosphere of indie bookshops Argonaut Book and Kayo Books, while big-name acts on a well-financed stage are showcased at The Masonic. For something a bit safer, escape the bustle of the city for a natural sit down somewhere quiet, whether it be through the many wildlife sanctuaries that make up Marin Headlands past the Golden Gate or intimate views of Rodeo Cove near Rodeo Beach. Escape the city altogether at the end of the night, popular exotic restaurants including the Liholiho Yacht Club’s hip take on Hawaiian as well as low-cost oriental dishes from Chinatown a few blocks away.
