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.

This really is a hidden gem. The moment you step foot inside it feels like you've traveled to a different world. The staff is very nice and they really lpad you up on complimentary stuff like bottles of water, breakfast, etc. For a whole week i didn't feel like I was at a hotel, I felt like it was my home.

Very cute bnb, staff was friendly and free wine and bites in the evening. Also free coffee and breakfast. We chose to dine out for breakfast but was perfect to grab some cofffee and oh before heading out for the day. Great location with plenty of restaurants nearby to get to on foot or short uber. Would come back and stay. And the bed was really comfortable!

Awesome Hotel

I've stayed in expensive hotels, various ones in SF. The price and location was great as was the continental breakfast. I'm a foodie and the coffee was amazing as were the pastries. Coffee/tea available all day. I only went 1x to the late afternoon wine hour but it was great. Highly recommend. Ask for a room w an electric fireplace.

Comfortable cozy place to stay

We definitely made the right choice by choosing this hotel! It offers a warm, cozy, and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The common area downstairs is beautifully decorated, featuring fireplaces, comfortable furniture, and books—creating the perfect space to relax. One of the highlights was the complimentary wine and a variety of cheeses, adding a special touch to our stay. Our room was also wonderful, featuring a fireplace that made it even cozier. Everything was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The service was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff ensuring a great experience. Breakfast was delightful, with fresh pastries and coffee to start the day right. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable and charming stay!

European Charmer

This is such a cozy and charming place with thoughtful considerations to decor and service. The rooms however are dated. Blinds looked grimy and were broken. Tape on windows from where it was cracked. Furniture was worn, but this is overlooked by the fireplace, incredibly comfortable bed with clean comfy sheets. They offer an actual usable bathtub, nice toiletries and have robes for guests. All of this and the character make it easy to overlook the age especially in the romantic glow of the fireplace. I prefer the personal attentive cozy environment of the common areas, the staff that White Swan offers and would happily choose this over a Hampton Inn. Other guests were pleasant and friendly. I wasn't aware that there is a separate fee for the open tea bar and coffee bar they have (which please keep milk out later for those who like it in their tea please) and the complimentary Wine Hour, but again this did make the stay more relaxing. Breakfast was simple yet served in style and really nice. Great quality.
