Quant and Cozy Downtown Experience

Cute, quaint, European style hotel in downtown SF. It’s about 1.5 blocks from Chinatown. This hotel does not have AC, so fans are definitely needed in warmer weather. Our room was very small (cozy Queen) with a tiny bathroom, which was a challenge for two adults. Breakfast was included and was great. Would stay again but just in a larger room!
David, 2-night trip

San Francisco Gem

Is it a bright shiny new hotel? No. Is it a charming San Francisco gem yes! The rooms are typical San Francisco Victorian. The bathrooms have been updated. The amenities are lovely. The included breakfast is wonderful. My only suggestion was to update the mattress it was fine but not fabulous. I would definitely stay again and recommend this hotel to anyone that wants San Francisco charm with out the corporate vibe.
Shelley, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the vintage vibe.
Kenneth, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cool elevator. Great location. Can get a little loud with guests above. Older property but well maintained for its age.
Surudh, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We have stayed at many hotels in SF, so for the price of this hotel, we knew it would be on the older side. My only complaint would be the shower. It was covered in black mold. Pretty gross! I will say the breakfast was pleasantly good and especially for the price that it was included in the hotel cost.
Kacey, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room wasn’t very clean, good location
Kate, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a convenient location, and relatively quiet. It is a good place for a budget visitor. For business people, this facility is a bit old.

The hotel is old but super quaint, clean and comfortable. I loved all the decor and staff was friendly. The continental breakfast was hardy with fresh eggs, potatoes and sausage.
