to get started.

Beautiful gardens and patios with outdoor seating.

Marcia, United States of America

The team here is so warm and hospitable. Amazing spot in a great neighborhood, with easy access to public transit and some really cools sights in SF. Coming back to a space that feels like home is the best— and you can’t beat wine hour!!!

Only, United States of America

The room was clean and charming. The staff was fantastic. Would certainly stay here again. Our room was also quite quiet

Paul, United States of America

Wonderful staff. We asked for a quiet room and it was great. Excellent breakfast offerings. Great bed. Within walking distance to great restaurants.

Polly, United States of America

This is a lovely B&B. Two houses with a lovely garden between with several private sitting areas. Was a little concerned when we were escorted to the basement but the window was large and there was no sense we were in the basement. And the large window looked onto a lovely piece of garden. All Staff were very friendly and helpful. Wine social every evening at 5:30 was an added bonus which we enjoyed two nights with lively conversation with other guests from around the world. We also appreciated access to tea and hot chocolate in the evening. And finally the added touch of umbrellas for our use was so appreciated given the very rainy days we had here. This is the place to stay in San Fran.

Alan, Canada

The gardens are beautiful and a calm antidote to the city. They face East-West so they catch the sun at all times of day. There are multiple interior common areas that are pleasant for reading, having a glass of wine, or meeting up with friends. The continental breakfast was delicious and it included varied offerings. The attention to detail is obvious throughout.

Deborah, United States of America

This report is based on past stays. The Parker House was wonderfully flexible when my plans had to change for this recent trip, and they kindly moved my reservation to a new date, even though I had not booked directly through them.

Roberta, United States of America

Delicious breakfast and nice wine social in the evenings! Backyard is beautiful too!

Brian, United States of America

It is a beautiful place, close to everything. The gardens were an oasis of calm where you could escape the excesses of the Castro. Staff super attentive, comfortable rooms and a great choice for breakfast. Probably one of the nicest places I have ever stayed.

Joanne, United Kingdom

Meticulous cleanliness. Staff very helpful. Location unsurpassed. Most touristic highlights are within a short bus or tram ride away. A car in SF is more of a hindrance than an advantage, and it is not needed. Good choice of restaurants and cafes in the neighborhood, although some close relatively early.

“Fantastic San Francisco Experience”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Queen Room with Private Bath
- • Stayed 7 nights
Guests should be aware that any older accommodation in San Francisco is going to have stairs, and after long touring days up and down the hills, the stairs become daunting. Guests may also need to know that in wooden buildings all sounds travel, so if you are a light sleeper you may need ear plugs, thankfully I can sleep through lots of noise.
Fantastic breakfasts each morning with great healthy fresh choices and opportunity to meet other guests or make use of secluded garden retreats. Location is unbeatable with great choices for public transport at your door, lots of food options within easy walking distance, and the whole of the Castro district at your doorstep. The staff are very helpful,approachable, and friendly and will try to accommodate any request.

“Cosy hotel in the heart of colorful Castro”
- • Business trip
- • Group of friends
- • Queen Room with Private Bath
- • Stayed 2 nights
Walls were quite thin and I was able to hear chats from another room, which was unwanted. Happily I took earbuds with me, so it was resolved quickly.
I love this location, hotel decor and little garden/terrace, where you can hang out on sunny days. Will definitely stay there again, it feels much more personal and cosy, than big chain hotels!

Booking.com room description slightly inaccurate. Our room described as deluxe king with garden view, but had street view. Parker informed us that none of these rooms have garden view. This was not a problem and room was superb so no complaints but just making others aware.
Excellent relaxed atmosphere where it was easy to meet and socialise with other guests. Early evening wine hour a great success. Lovely room and gardens. Great neighbourhood with lots of eating places, bars and indies. Staff so helpful and friendly.
