Rough Guide Star
"Superb, sprawling B&B set in two adjoining historic Victorians."
Fodor's "Decked out in ornate poster beds, opulent Oriental rugs, and precious Victorian artifacts, guest quarters are everything from cozy... to spacious enough to fit a family." Full review
Lonely Planet "The stately Inn San Francisco occupies an elegant 1872 Italianate-Victorian mansion, impeccably maintained and packed with period antiques." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Set in an 1872 mansion, the 21-room property brims with authentic Victorian details... minus the chintz (not a weathered doily in sight)." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The owner of this 1872 Victorian Mansion will charm you with hospitality. The spacious rooms are individually decorated in Victorian themes."
Time Out "This friendly Italianate Victorian, built in 1872, invites you to sprawl about in its beautifully restored sitting rooms, rather than just admire them." Full review
BlackBook "Victorian to the hilt. Beautifully preserved 1872 Italianate mansion, once a farm breeding champion racehorses and now the oldest existing hotel in town."
Zagat4.3
"There's a "romantic and relaxing" vibe to this "gorgeous" Victorian Mission mansion, as "honeymooners" cozy up in the "warm", "comfortable" quarters."
Oyster Budget
"This inn is a solid choice for travelers looking for a more authentic, out-of-the-way San Francisco experience." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Leaning into Victorian-era decor, this hotel on Mansion Row has just 27 rooms. For accommodations, guests have their choice of small rooms, medium rooms, spacious rooms, or the inn's garden cottages."

Rough Guide "The epitome of swish sophistication... Pricey, ultra-cool and almost disarmingly self-aware."
Michelin Guide "Irreverent, unexpected, and surreal, its mind-bending and modern design is a little bit Alice in Wonderland and a whole lot of cool."
Frommer's "Young trendsetters now flock here for overpriced monochrome lavender streamlined rooms with often-minuscule bathrooms, glamorous atmosphere, and a heavy dose of attitude." Full review
Fodor's "The entrance is so nondescript here, you could walk right past it without a hint of what's inside, and that's exactly how the clientle—a mix of hipsters, music-industry types, and celebrities—like it." Full review

Some visitors have remarked on the thin walls and advise booking a room on an upper-level floor to avoid street noise.
Lonely Planet "While the Clift is deliciously notorious for its penthouse parties, tough design critics might find that some rooms are too cramped for sleigh beds, and some cabinets might've been bought at IKEA."
Travel + Leisure "A dimly lit lobby littered with art furniture, lavender-hued corridors, and guest rooms done in restful beiges, grays, and more lavender." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The dramatic Clift is a striking example of modern design, with a lobby created by Phillippe Starck."
Time Out "This Schrager-Starck property is still the hippest hotel in town, and doesn't it know it." Full review
Star Service "Located in the heart of the city and next to the Curran Theater, across the street from Marriott's Hotel Adagio, this hotel may bear a name closely associated with San Francisco's old..." Full review
Gayot "Once the most traditional of San Francisco's grand hotels, this historic building was remodeled in 2001 by avant-garde designers Philippe Starck and Ian Schraeger."
