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

"This B&B-style hotel overlooking Washington Square has large, airy rooms decorated in modern shades of taupe and cream."
Frommer's "This small, comely, European-style bed-and-breakfast is ideal for older couples who prefer a quieter, more subdued environment than the commotion of downtown San Francisco." Full review
Fodor's "Overlooking the tree-lined park of its namesake and surrounded by fine shops and cafés, this gracious corner B&B sits at the foot of Telegraph Hill in the heart of North Beach." Full review
Lonely Planet "On leafy, sun-dappled Washington Square, this inn looks decidedly European and caters to the over-40 set." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the few hotels in the North Beach area, this is the only one facing Washington Square Park, where you can watch people practicing Tai Chi or strolling around the park."
Time Out "Close to one of San Francisco's prettiest urban parks, in a quiet part of North Beach, this is a convivial little inn." Full review
Gayot "Europe meets the San Francisco Bay in this cozy bed-and-breakfast-style inn."
