If your looking for a safe room to get your head down and adventure out it's perfect, but if your looking for anything else included then this isn't the hotel for you, best on a budget and helpful staff 😎

Like stepping back in time staying here. Good option for a budget as it's close to everything and friendly staff. The facilities although shared were clean and a quiet environment. Good for back packers who want abit of space away from people instead of a hostel. The staff also will look after bags which helped when I checked out as my flight wasn't until the evening so it left me to enjoy the bay area.

The room smelled a bit after some desinfection but it was nothing that bad and one of the bathroom was not seem to be very clean and to get the hot water we waited maybe more than 5 minutes. But the other bathroom was quite good.

The location was pretty good near to pier and there were not much homeless people. Also the staff was pretty helpful, they let us leave our baggages for few hours in the hotel after we checked out.

It is a delightful hotel built in 1908 so is old but in very good condition. It is not luxurious but is memorable. Loved the photos of newspaper articles from early 1900s, the feeling of being back in time. Bed was very comfy and hotel was quiet (except for the early morning trash truck if you get a room by the alley!). The staff were pleasant and helpful. Warning: not for those with mobility issues (no elevator) and tiny toilet rooms, shared. But the location is excellent and price amazing for SF!

The bathroom is common for all guests, but this is written in description on booking. I appreciate the old-fashion style of this hotel, but some fresh air will be good. :)

This hotel has a unique spirit, like from the Mafia game. Rooms are quite small, but clean. Ideal for short trips with strong experience. Location is the best benefit, you are 5min walk from Pier39.

The shared bathrooms and showers in the hallway and not inside the rooms can be a dealbreaker for some, but this is not your run-of-the-mill backpacker euro hostel.

We absolutely LOVED this hotel with it’s rich history, that has been operational in this same building since 1906! The history practically oozes through the falls, with lovely decoration details scattered throughout its hallways and rooms. The shared shower cabinets and toilets were small, but functioned well and all tough small, our room had everything we needed for our 3 day trip. The coffee machine also deserves a mention! It provides the guests surprisingly great coffee from 7am to 1pm for FREE, and I strongly recommend to use it during your stay. Cafés nearby the hotel ask $5 to an americano, that honestly isn’t even better than what these cafe’s give you. But undeniably the best part of this hotel is location, location, location! Situated in the safe and historical North Beach, there are many interesting sites all within a walking distance of this hotel: Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, The Coit Tower, Alcatraz ferries. All of these are 15-25 min walking distance from the San Remo Hotel.

Shared bathrooms.

Amazing value for money in an expensive city. Location is excellent, too - safe, reasonably quiet & close to North Beach bars and restaurants. Very friendly staff. Would recommend highly

The only fault we could see with the San Remo Hotel was a little wear and tear, but this is natural considering it had been 24 years since we last stayed there.

Location!

Room a little cosy, but eclectic, musty smell when we first went in.

the service was excellent, location close to waterfront great, good choice of eating places nearby, fantastic coffee machine (with video!), shared bathroom was not as bad as could have been expected, and very social.

Heard noise from other rooms, especially doors during the night.

Comfortable bed, cozy room with sink, we never had issues waiting for the toilet or shower (even though the hotel was full), clean, perfect location. We also enjoyed the restaurant downstairs.

Only narrow stairs to get to rooms but indicative of the time built. Not a big deal. Parking off site for a fee.

Comfy, beautiful, cool architecture and historical furniture, features, decor etc. lots of personality and charm. Small rooms but lots of storage with convenient touches. Also themed, ours was smiles. Shared bathrooms located conveniently throughout. Great location. Quiet. Secure.

Could have been a little cleaner. Tissues in the bathroom area would have been useful.

Quirky decor that you made you feel like you had travelled back in time. Great location and comfy beds.

It will be better the experience if the hotel has the TV. If someone needs the accessibility the hotel doesn't have elevator.

Location and room.

It can get noisy between 6 pm and midnight with the restaurant downstairs

Nice little hotel in a great location for a reasonable price. Great coffee maker with free coffee in the morning. Nostalgic. Would definitely come back.

outstanding hotel manager. Really kind and supportive, thanks !

- hot water in showers only worked in the mornings both nights we were there. It was quite uncomfortable because we arrived after a long flight in the late evening and couldnt even take a shower until next morning

- vintage charm :) - great location!

Other customers using hair dryers late at night...walls a bit thin and a bit of outside noise, but I would stay there again. Overall good value for money.

So close to everything. Comfortable and clean. Very happy with my stay

It was what to be expected based on other reviews. Strong smell of cleaning products as you walk in, really thin walls, cramped rooms. Old style but it adds to its charm.

Great location, great staff. Free coffee and other toiletries like use of mouthwash, ear buds and cotton wool pads.
