Guest Reviews & Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and clean with a breathtaking view of San Francisco. The TVs in the rooms were a nice touch. The service was exceptional, both at check-in and check-out, and the hotel staff were very attentive. The location, in a 1920-30s neo-gothic architectonic monument, was just magical. The dining experience, with porridge included, was delightful. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.
This hotel is a real gem! The rooms offer a beautiful view and come with nice-sized TVs, although the beds are slightly smaller than standard queen size. The service at the reception desk and during my stay was exceptional. The location is simply breathtaking, situated in a stunning 1920-30s neo-gothic architectonic monument. The included dining, especially the Neapolitan pizza, was a tasty delight. The facilities perfectly complemented my stay, making it truly memorable.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a beautiful view of SF, but the bed was smaller than a standard queen size. The TV was a nice size, and the view was truly amazing. However, the presence of homeless people around the free clinic nearby was off-putting.
