Rough Guide "Overall, it’s one of the better-value places in South of Market."
Michelin Guide "This delightful hotel shares a highly individual and warm, hospitable spirit with all its guests; one also feels like it has a past because it does."
Fodor's "A compatible pairing of contemporary decor and original Victorian architectural elements." Full review

Travel + Leisure "Still retains its Victorian style in the lobby with marble floors, wrought-iron banisters, and rich wood paneling." Full review
Time Out "A gem of a newly renovated hotel. A distinguished-looking Victorian lobby leads up to spruced-up, modern rooms that are not large, but chic and comfortable, with clever use of space." Full review
Gayot "The Mosser's claim to fame is simple: It is the only hotel in San Francisco that has a state-of-the-art recording studio on the premises."
BlackBook "Can’t afford the W or Clift, but would much rather go the IKEA route than suffer quilted floral spreads? The Mosser is the answer."

"This smart, unfussy historic hotel stands just off downtown’s Market Street in the lively SoMa neighbourhood." Full review
Frommer's "This quaint hotel is a spectacular deal...the rooms are tiny and the en suite showers are about 3 square feet. Rates get lower if you opt to use a shared bathroom" Full review

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."
