San Francisco hotels in North Beach - Little Italy

Pros: Location on the wharf. Hotel employee were sooo helpful and happy.

Pros: The location

Pros: The Nautical theme & attention to detail. Great restaurant.

Pros: Location, ambiance in the lobby

Cons: I could not get my favorite TV station. They use satellite TV.

Pros: Good location at the far end of Fisherman’s Wharf hoopla. I block up the hill to Buena Vista cafe.

Cons: $6 for a bottle of water in the room!!!

Pros: The valet was very good as well as the location.

Cons: It was right before the corona virus outbreak. I called to request to cancel but was not able too. Check in employee was not friendly, I thought I book a ocean view but I didn't. I asked if there was any free upgrades , not in room size but view. She said no. I asked if they were all book and she said they were hardly booked due to the situation. When we got to our room the maid was still cleaning. This is the 3rd time I have said here and the first bad experience.

Pros: Quiet, good price, convenience, location.

Cons: Water pressure was pretty terrible. The breakfast lacked decent options for certain diets.

Pros: Everything!!!! Amazing!!!!

Pros: Location x infinity :)

Pros: The staff were excellent with Customer Service from cleaning maids, front desk, bellhops, and valet attendants. Location was easy to access the wharf and piers along with the cable car system. We felt very safe in the hotel location.

Cons: $65 daily parking fee and $30 amenities fee each night.

Pros: The nautical decor was great. It was warm and cozy with the fireplace in the lobby.

Cons: They got our phone number incorrect and never called us to tell us our room was ready. We checked in at 10:30am and left our bags and didn't hear from them all day until I called at 4. Took 40 min to get us our correct car first one not ours

Pros: Very clean. Bed mattress superb! Location -the best!!

Cons: Location and view of the original room was over a roof. Upon request i was assigned a room one floor higher which was still over the roof but not as dark as the original room.

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: Character and staff

Cons: Location was miserable. Had a room with street facing windows. SUPER loud ALL night. Thin old windows did nothing to mitigate street noise.

Pros: Good hotel, old but well maintained, very considerate staff.

Cons: There is no elevator and you have to climb 2 flights of stairs just to get from the street to the lobby -- not easy if you have heavy luggage. I got there around 8 in the evening and there was no one who could help with the luggage. The ads for this place should more clearly indicate these limitations.

Pros: Loved the historic vibe

Cons: No elevator

Pros: 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!

Cons: Parking is expensive, but it is everywhere in San Francisco.

Pros: 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

Pros: The staff were friendly and accomodating, and the location was good - near lots of great restaurants.

Cons: There was a lot of noise from the street below my second story room on Sunday night. When I checked in and again when I got back late in the evenings, the bathroom window was left open by housekeeping, which made the room cold.

Pros: Location to Italian restaurants

Cons: No AC

Pros: The charm and location.

Pros: Location, check-in process, quaint atmosphere

Cons: There is literally zero soundproofing, so it can get very loud, especially if your room is facing the street.

Pros: Loved the location!Right in the heart of Little Italy which is also next to China Town.The receptionist and owner were so helpful & friendly,as well as informative.The decor is unique and unlike any other hotel we've been in. Water pressure, excellent!

Cons: No

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: Were given a lovely quiet and comfortable room, bed very comfortable. Were delighted to find such a large variety of foods and drink for breakfast. Location was excellent.

Pros: Location. Modern and clean.

Pros: Close to everything

Cons: $75 a day for parking

Pros: 1) The hotel room was excellent 2) Proximity to Fisherman's Wharf 3) The breakfast was outstanding

Cons: Paying $65 (plus a $10 parking tax!) in the hotel's own garage was more than a let down, it was insulting. There was no hint of that at booking time. A $20 "wharf fee" also insulting, although that was clear at booking time.

Pros: Great location very comfortable decent breakfast for a in with the price offer.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I didnt liked anything. If there was an 0 for this review I would have given zero. I had to checkout within 1.5hours of my stay. I am trying to get hold of the customer service but cant get thru. They took all my money, even thou it was hotels mess.

Cons: The worst receptionist we met. As if why are we even staying. Angela needs more training in her job.

Pros: Sea lions nearby

Cons: Cigarets on the ground all over fisherman whalf.

Pros: Great location; very good breakfast; friendly, helpful staff; quiet

Pros: Great breakfast, clean and spacious time, excellent location

Pros: The plase of this hotel. The Pier 39 is near to this hotel.

Pros: Clean & tidy

Cons: Bathroom were a bit tired & breakfast needs improvement with a better variety of food.

Pros: Hotel very nice , clean, friendly staff. It was noisy from air conditioning unit. Location near elevators as requested was excellent.

Cons: Noisy AC. Would have stayed but price went up so high due to convention in town

Pros: I overall loved it but two things I did not like that the coffee was not restocked in the room and there was No parking free included with hotel stay.

Cons: I overall loved it but two things I did not like that the coffee was not restocked in the room and there was No parking free included with hotel stay.

Pros: Between north beach and fisherman’s wharf. Great restaurants, sightseeing, shopping, piers, cable cars, Italian and Chinatown neighborhoods.

Cons: A little pricey but you’re on vacation and it’s San Francisco.

Pros: The bed and rooms are nice

Cons: That when I came back after 4 hours my room Was still a mess

Pros: Staff was friendly and helpful.

Pros: The staff was wonderful from the people to cleaned to the front desk to the concierge and the location could not be beat for getting to the cable cars, the wharf, Coit Tower, etc.....

Pros: the location, and the rooms very nice

Cons: nop

Pros: Great location! It is only a couple blocks from lots of fun activities.

Pros: Location and parking

Pros: Room was exceptionally clean.

Cons: The location was not as close to the Wharf as expected by the description but it turned out fine for our Bay cruise and dinner plans. On the walk back to our room we even took in an art gallery, an unexpected surprise. I was not expecting the cost of valet parking to be an additional cost but the convenience of not having to find a place to park on the street was worth the additional cost but it should have been included. What was quoted as $149 turned into $244.

Pros: I liked the location and customer service best. Hotel employee at the front desk made me feel welcomed and special. Thanks for the complimentary champagne for my birthday!!

Cons: Everything was amazing. No complaints here.

Pros: Location, just a short walk to the seafront. Concierge service was excellent. They were all so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, John in particular. He gave us some excellent advice on travelling to Muir Wood & the Golden Gate Bridge, and other useful information. The room was modern & clean and had a comfortable bed.

Cons: The receptionists. The ones we dealt with were unhelpful & dismissive. On check-in they said my credit card would not work. My credit card does not incur charges for overseas transactions, so I wanted to use it. My friend secured the booking, so I could see if my card worked elsewhere, which it did. The receptionist was really unsympathetic and didn't care. When we checked out, my card didn't work again, despite it working at other establishments. I explained this to the receptionist and asked her to try again, she did saying that their machine was very sensitive and surprise surprise it worked. If I had not pushed it, I would have had to use another card, which would have cost me about an additional $60 at least. Having to pay $12.00 a day for wifi. Breakfast was about $31 for a basic breakfast. If you had room service it was $31 plus 20% service charge, $4.95 delivery and taxes. Total rip off. I guess it is the location, but it is not worth what we paid per night. Stayed in far better locations for less money.

Pros: most everything

Cons: no portable lighted vanity mirror. getting charged $46 for 2 blueberry muffins and a croissant delivered to our room.

Pros: Close to everything we needed and to where we wanted to go.

Cons: No

Pros: We love the location. It was close to everything. It’s a good location for walking to Fisherman’s Wharf, China Town, Colt Tower, etc. The employees are great and so pleasant! Perfect place to stay!

Cons: NOTHING!

Pros: The lady whom checked us in was terrific.

Cons: Our room had a large crack in the counter. Other than that the room was spotless, and staff was amazingly friendly.

Pros: Location and friendliness of staff

Pros: Being able to walk out and be part of everything. Returning to cozy comfort.

Cons: Difficulty at entrance. Instructions when checking in.

Pros: Location was good and transit convenient enough. Staff was great. Rooms felt pretty nice and spacious.

Cons: There is only one entrance and the alternate exit was super hidden unless you used the recreation area. No microwave. Elevators can be far as there is only one bank and the stairs are awkward.

Pros: Close to the shops

Pros: Location

Cons: Was kind of old and not to my usual standard

Pros: Clean, modern appearance. Everything in our room worked and it was quiet.

Cons: The person that checked us in wasn't friendly, helpful or informative. We really knew nothing about the hotel facility beyond what our room number when we left the front desk.The valet parking attendant,  was very helpful and welcoming.

Cons: The $30 "destination fee" is a joke.

Pros: The staff were all fantastic. Kind, helpful and available. The location was terrific. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping, quick easy drives to most of the city. Uber/Lyft picks up right outside if you want to avoid a car.
