    Comfortable bed, nice staff, clean bathroom, location. Hidden fees, poor parking situation, German roaches(just a few) in the bathroom, no AC, and loud because you have to keep the windows open.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Location and small club atmosphere San Francisco was extremely hot - heat wave - and the room was not air conditioned. This isn’t criticism, as air conditioning is not normally needed in the City.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Bed and room were gross. Possibly unwashed sheets.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Convenient location The smell of the carpet inside the room

    As above: no napkins.

    Location. Convenience. Amenities (breakfast; gym)

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Breakfast spread is a little weak.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    disturbance from the cable cars running on the road stairs squeezing because they are all wooden and the noise from them are all heard in the room may be its something very specific to the room i stayed

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The location was great and considering how old and dated the hotel was it was clean thankfully. The hotel is OLD and DATED. The staff were barely polite at best and not helpful. No A/C in the room to shut out any noise for light sleepers like me. At $200 a night way overpriced.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Cable stop. Quiet rooms. Clean room everyday. Staff accommodating. Great location. Will go back. No fridge in room.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    When we arrived there was a posted announcement that a wedding was taking place the night we were staying with you. So we were prepared for some noise but that which went on was a bit excessive.

    Location and room price Parking

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Super convenient! Charming old “Club” (not a hotel) with great history. Great staff. Community rooms were beautiful. It is old and a bit worn down. The elevator stopped working a couple of times.

    Not much…it was a decent price and they do have a half decent gym you get access to. Smelled in the hallways. It was $45 for a roll away bed that I didn’t want since we had a couch but they had it in the room anyway regardless of the fact I didn’t select it when I booked it. The noise outside (at least being on the 2nd floor) was brutal. No AC from what I could find and if you leave the windows open the noise is horrible so don’t expect to sleep. No fan in the room; just a space heater. Parking situation also was terrible.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    My room’s fan didn’t work so it was quite warm at night. Also, my room was under the kitchen, which was very loud (as if someone was dragging furniture across the floor) all night. Made it very difficult to sleep after a very long day of travel. I would not choose that hotel again.

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    Breakfast has the basics, all that you really need-self serve. I enjoy the original woodwork, atmosphere of the building. Bedding/linens comfortable. Convenient location.

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    Wonderful old school building, a retreat from the noise and bustle in SF.Like going to Europe. Excellent staff, very comfortable room. Adequate continental breakfast, as well. We definitely will go there again.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    I loved how old-school it was. The room was clean and comfortable - I recently stayed at one of the other large, famous Nob Hill hotels and the University Club room was very similar. The restaurant was a good experience too; the wait staff was excellent. In and out was tremendously easy. Overall, this was a good experience and excellent value. The building’s fine points (e.g., carpeting) are a little tired and could be refreshed, but I wouldn’t want to change the character of this beautifully traditional building.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Historic property with a superb location for our weekend in SF. Our room was a suite which was very comfortable and even had a view of the Transamerica Pyramid. No refrigerator in the room, no ice machine. But these were minor inconveniences and not to be expected in the historic building.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    The linens and bed were so comfortable! The property generally needs an upgrade
