  • Genuine Victorian charm with marble floors and antiques
  • Walkable to Union Square and Cable Car lines
  • Colombini Italian Bistro on-site is actually good

Hurtig oversigt: A visual time capsule that unfortunately retains the soundproofing and plumbing of 1906.

Anmeldt af @sincerelysusye: I spent the weekend at this absolute gem in Nob Hill and I'm obsessed. The history here is wild—it survived the 1906 quake! My room had this massive comfy bed and a deep soaking tub that was perfect after walking the hills. Definitely my new go-to spot in SF.

The hype

Travelers love the 'old world' aesthetic and location but consistently roast the noise levels and tiny bathrooms.

Reality check

The 'fitness center' is basically a closet, and the 'continental breakfast' is minimal carbs (toast/cereal) and coffee.

  • You appreciate historic architecture over modern sterile luxury
  • You plan to spend 90% of your time exploring the city
  • You are a heavy sleeper or bring high-quality earplugs

Renhed & Vedligeholdelse

5
  • Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report daily service, others say they had to beg for towels.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Grout often looks tired; complaints of hair in drains are common.
  • Maintenance: Peeling paint and worn carpets are standard. It feels 'lived in' to say the least.
  • Linens & towels: Towels can be scratchy and thin. Check sheets immediately for stains or pests.
  • Odors & scents: Frequently described as smelling 'musty' or like 'old building' with a chemical overlay.

Før du booker

Godt at vide

  • Valet parking is expensive (~$58/night); self-park garages nearby are cheaper but fill up.
  • The neighborhood borders the Tenderloin; walk north (uphill) for safety/scenery, not south at night.
  • Wi-Fi is generally reliable but can be spotty in corner rooms.

Hvad skal du pakke

  • High-fidelity earplugs (non-negotiable)
  • Portable fan (rooms get stuffy)
  • Slippers (carpets are old)

“I am requesting a room on a high floor, away from the elevator and facing away from Hyde Street, to minimize noise. If available, a renovated room with a microwave would be appreciated.”

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips

Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.

Is there AC?

No. Most rooms have ceiling fans or portable fans, but it can get warm during heat waves.

Is the area safe?

Generally yes, but it sits on the border of the Tenderloin. Stick to California/Sacramento Streets and avoid walking south on Hyde late at night.

Does the elevator work?

It's a gamble. It's a vintage birdcage style that frequently breaks down or is incredibly slow.

Is breakfast included?

Yes, but keep expectations low. Think toast, cereal, juice, and coffee.

How much is the deposit?

They hold a hefty $150-$500 incidentals deposit on your card, which can take days to release.

Are there hidden fees?

No daily 'resort fee' found, but the parking and deposit fees catch people off guard.

Insidertips

  • ✨

    The rooftop patio on the 6th floor is open to all guests (not just penthouse) and has great views.

  • ✨

    Ask for a room with a microwave/fridge combo; not all standard rooms have them.

  • ✨

    The 'wine tasting' mentioned in older reviews is often suspended or just cheap boxed wine—don't count on it.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted

  • 💡The 'gym' is often just a treadmill and a bike in a small room.

  • 💡Water pressure in the showers can be surprisingly weak on upper floors.

  • 💡The 'Victorian antiques' sometimes just mean 'old, scratched furniture'.

  • 💡You can hear your neighbor's phone vibrate on the nightstand through the wall.

  • 💡The lobby smells like a mix of old wood and cleaning chemicals.
