We loved our stay. All staff we encountered were kind and helpful. We felt very safe during our stay. They even stored our luggage for us after we checked out, so that we could continue exploring until we had to leave for the airport.

We stayed four nights and had a spacious room with a fireplace. The building and decorations were a bit dated but the bed was very comfortable and the location was excellent. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

This is truly a hidden gem in SF. It felt more like home away from home, instead of a hotel. The wine and cheese and breakfast were both wonderful, but the fireplace in the room was the best touch. I will definitely rebook!

Quaint retro hotel
Quaint hotel with old world charm. Stayed in a Junior Suite with a fireplace and king bed. Incredibly quiet despite the busy street below and very comfortable bed. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location on Nob Hill with an easy walk to shopping and the embarcadero.
