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."

"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

Be sure to request a bay-view room, for an extra fee.
Fodor's "Exemplary service and a friendly staff earn high marks for this cozy hotel, which overlooks the Embarcadero and is within shouting distance of the Bay Bridge." Full review
Oyster Upper-middle-range
"Freebies... an evening wine reception, and a great location on the Financial District's revitalized waterfront make it a reasonable choice for couples and solo travelers." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Housed in what was originally a YMCA building, the Harbor Court is the only hotel in San Francisco with a location right on the waterfront."
Time Out "On the Embarcadero waterfront, Harbor Court is something of an undiscovered treat." Full review
Star Service "It is in a relatively off-the-map locale for tourists and despite the recent loss of Kimpton it remains a prize that resides blissfully beneath the radar for most out-of-towners. " Full review
Gayot "This hotel is situated one block off the Embarcadero near the Bay Bridge, and therefore has one of the best bayside views the city can offer."
