David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cant say enough good things about this hotel! The walls in the public areas and the rooms are beautifully decorated with hand-painted details. Each floor is themed after a different French artist, and decorated in their signature art/style. The former restaurant in the basement, which is now the breakfast space, has medieval French/Joan of Arc themed decor. My room was very quiet and comfortable, and I barely heard any street noise despite the hotel being located in a very busy area near Union Square. Breakfast was delicious, and definitely a step above a basic continental breakfast. The price was amazingly reasonable, especially for such a nice place in such a central location. There is also a beautiful old original elevator, which is a fun experience all by itself. It reminded me of several European hotels I’ve stayed in. I’ll definitely be staying here the next time I visit San Francisco!
Kai, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Old style hotel. Feels like an apartment building with key fob and metal door key. Very boutique. Good for a night or two.
Stephen, 2-night trip

Beautiful hotel. Very comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful, as was the staff. Very close to public transportation & restaurants.

Quant and Cozy Downtown Experience

Cute, quaint, European style hotel in downtown SF. It’s about 1.5 blocks from Chinatown. This hotel does not have AC, so fans are definitely needed in warmer weather. Our room was very small (cozy Queen) with a tiny bathroom, which was a challenge for two adults. Breakfast was included and was great. Would stay again but just in a larger room!
David, 2-night trip
