Couldn't fault.
Our fifth visit to SF and an excellent hotel. Rooms, like most of the older buildings are slightly smaller than most US hotels/motels (but similar to UK or Europe rooms). Service was A M A Z I N G. From Claire (?) on the front desk to housekeeping and the gentleman on breakfast. Each and everyone was genuinely passionate about our stay and service. WiFi was good. Breakfast was excellent with bacon, sausage and egg + pastries and bread (weirdly no cereal). Area was good in location - handy for Union Sq, but without the noise. Coffee, water available in foyer and room. Room and hotel in great condition. A++

The hotel has a great story behind how it came to have the decor and into the current ownership. It was really convenient for all the sights and public transport. Staff were friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough. Breakfast was included and was good.

Love the old world charm,wasn't too thrilled with the slow draining sink or the broken toilet seat. Breakfast was delicious, but would have been better if they had a variety of tea or even an English Breakfast tea for those of us in need of a little caffeine .

Beautiful antique French hotel 👍👍
The hotel is old and beautiful. Nicely kept and looks exactly like France and European hotels. Loved the dinning room and antique elevator. For the price it was amazing. Friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and nice. The only neg thing was their breakfast, everyone had to wait for eggs or croissant. Very simple BF but always needed refill. Parking very close $40 per night. Typical for the area.

It was definitely a unique stay experience. Most tourists spoke French and staff were multilingual. Very boutique and old feeling. Breakfast was delicious and high quality. Luckily it was relatively cool outside because there was no air conditioning. Had to leave the window open to cool the room.

This hotel is a hidden gem! It has so much charm and character at an affordable price, and it is right in the city center within walking distance of many tourist sites. The decor was inviting and one of my favorite design touches were the themed floors that each featured a different French artist. As a woman, I never felt unsafe as a solo traveler the surrounding area. Again, for the price, I was pleasantly surprised by the continental breakfast and the quality of the travel-sized products. I will definitely be returning next time I travel to S.F. and highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a well-maintained place with a little piece of history in the city.

Nice property with a historic french touch. Wall artifacts and fresh paint and wall carvings make it a special place.
