Rough Guide "The most famous of Nob Hill’s landmark hotels... fantastic views from the rooms."
Michelin Guide "This queen of the city retains a traditional charm."
Concierge "Rooms... in the original building have high ceilings and a rich sense of place, but not all have views; rooms in the vintage-1961 tower have jaw-dropping vistas yet feel more generic."
Fodor's "Amenities and special services (including... a newly crafted Intersect Media Lounge complete with multiplayer Guitar Hero and Wii Golf) keep loyal guests coming back." Full review
Insight Guides "You are greeted by a warm welcome, and an elegant atmosphere extends throughout, except perhaps at the tropical-themed Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar."
Oyster Luxury
"The Fairmont combines the history, cachet, and decor of a turn-of-the-20th-century grand old dame with the amenities, technology, and corporate-dominated clientele of a large chain property." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Famous for its gorgeous lobby and opulent public rooms, the Fairmont is the grandest of all the grand hotels at the top of Nob Hill."
Star Service "This remains the most commercial of the once elite Nob Hill hotels, but it is also the most impressive." Full review

Rough Guide "Known for its chatty, helpful staff... Rooms are cosy and chintzy."
Frommer's "This small, European-style pensione is one of the best budget hotels in San Francisco." Full review
Fodor's "Rooms are small but charming, with lace curtains, forest-green-painted wood floors, and brass beds and other antique furnishings." Full review
Lonely Planet "One of the city's best values, the San Remo dates to 1906 and is long on old-fashioned charm." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The only budget hotel in the area, San Remo is a well-maintained Italianate building, and one of the first to be constructed following the earthquake and fire of 1906."
Gayot "This lovely, restored Victorian hotel was built by the founder of Bank of America to house maritime workers displaced by the earthquake of 1906."
BlackBook "One of the city’s best budget hotels in a perfect location near the heart of North Beach and Fisherman’s Wharf."
Oyster Budget
"While charming, the San Remo's Victorian style -- with shared bathrooms, narrow hallways, and no elevator or air-conditioning -- is not for everyone." Full review
Time Out "Although the rooms are on the small side and the spotless shower rooms are shared (there's also one bath), you would be hard-pressed to find a finer hotel in San Francisco at this price." Full review
