Lock in a great price for Hotel Boheme – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

It is a very old hotel, that has been maintained as a boutique, small venue that is simply beyond value in what they offer. A smaller complex-with staff that treats you as their long lost friend!

This is a favorite place of mine. Quirky, small, hard to find, no elevator...but, this place has character like no other. The pictures and quotes from the beat generation poets, the decor, the area...it is time travel to the late fifties and you are hanging out with Kerouac. You are in the heart of North Beach and you sit in your window and watch the people in the coffee shop across the street. The flow of people going up and down Columbus is fascinating. Maybe not for everyone. But, if you value character, the experience and something unique this may be for you.

Cute boutique hotel with lots of charm. I really enjoyed my stay there. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Ooh and I love how they leave out complimentary Sherry in the evening for the hotel guests to enjoy. The location was excellent as well. Right in the middle of little Italy. There's plenty of great restaurants, coffee shops and bars you can walk to. I'll definitely be back.

Great funky different space in heart of North Beach. Have stayed many times in past. Always a pleasure. A piece of historic old San Francisco

Michael

United States of America

Pleasant staff, decor, ambience, and hot shower. Above all, perfect location for enjoying all the pleasures of North Beach. Otherwise, stay near whatever you came to town for, not here.

Fred

Cute little boutique hotel with a European feel. It also has a tasty coffee and pastry shop right next door to make the morning brighter.

Hotel Boheme is a cozy gem in the North Beach neighborhood, tucked among old-school Italian eateries and icons of Beatnik San Francisco. It has not been thoughtlessly modernized, and hasn't lost any charm to superficial business-travel frills - it is quirky and comfortable and authentic. From the nearly-hidden entrance, up winding flights of stairs, it's like stepping into another world. The afternoon sherry is a nice touch, the bed and pillows are comfortable, and the decorations are fun and relaxing. Also, maybe it's a small thing, but the water pressure in the shower is GREAT!

The location was excellent, right in the heart of Little Italy surrounded by excellent restaurants, Caffe Trieste and the best pizza in North America, Tony's Pizza Napolitana. This hotel offers a very cool setting. Rooms and bathrooms are not big but that was a non-issue for us. Look at the pictures of the rooms and you will see what I mean. The staff on hand was super friendly, helpful and always ready to go the extra mile for you. We can't wait for our next visit to the bay area...and La Boheme.

Great old school hotel in the middle of North Beach and close to China Town. Being an older establishment means floors creak and no real facilities but staff is great, friendly and helpful and the location is fantastic if you like to walk San Fran to Pier 39 and Ghiradelli square area. We would definitely stay there again.

John

Well appointed. Nice decor. Very Clean for an old European-style hotel. Lots of plugs for my electronics. Fantastic service at check-in. Robert resolved a reservation issue promptly and to our greatest satisfaction. Gigi was delightful... Great location in the heart of North Beach (Italian food for days). Garage parking nearby (across from SFPD station...awesome). Thank you for a great time.

Located in the heart of historic North Beach San Francisco, this completely nonsmoking intimate hotel creatively captures the area’s bohemian flair of the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Inviting colors and modern art are featured at Hotel Bohème. The charm of the building as well as the courteous staff is reminiscent of the bohemian style the area was famous for. Rooms include free WiFi and a cable TV.

Steps away from many Italian restaurants, small cafes, jazz and blues clubs and only a short walk from Lombard Street and San Francisco’s famous cable cars, Hotel Bohème provides the ideal starting point for exploring this historic area.

Centrally located near Chinatown and Little Italy, Hotel Bohème takes you back in time while placing you in the center of a vibrant city life.

This is our guests' favorite part of San Francisco, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.

Parking is tricky the first time. But, once you find the North Beach public garage a block away, you are golden. If you have an issue with stairs, this could be a big factor as you have to carry luggage up a long flight of stairs to get to the hotel.

Wish there was a little fridge in the room. Mainly because there was no place to put perishable snacks I had bought. Also I prefer drinking cold water in the morning to wake me up. But I get it, it's part of the charm. This wouldn't stop me from coming back here again.

Our room was noisy because of the air conditioning units outside. WiFi poor and no air conditioning (although it's an old building) Lots of stairs for anybody less able.
Great base to explore SF. Italian quarter very vibrant and noisy nights although our room did not front the street. Lovely decor and comfy bed. Excellent restaurants nearby, Italian and also on the edge of China town.

The room we were given (107) was pretty dingy and dark and had the constant noise from the kitchen fans outside the room and bathroom window (audible even when closed and at night) plus every time we entered the room we could smell the odour of kitchen cooking that evidently seeps or wafts in if windows are open. This despite us contacting well in advance for a quiet room and as high up as possible. Yes it was not road-side but switching traffic noise for ventilation noise on lowest floor isn’t any better. Were offered earplugs. For the price of the stay versus these issues, not as good as we were expecting and a little disappointing for our first stay in San Fran.
Nice look and feel, hotel itself is inviting. Staff are discreet and very friendly/accommodating.

Because of our age we found it difficult to carry our luggage up the stairs as there is no elevator. It would have been nice had the rooms were air conditioned but at least there was a fan.
Location and the hotel was so quirky and full of character. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
