Request a room off the street side, which is quieter.
Concierge "Smack dab in the heart of North Beach, San Francisco's Little Italy, the Hotel Bohème nods to the neighborhood's Beat era heyday."
Fodor's "This small hotel in historic North Beach takes you back in time with cast-iron beds, large mirrored armoires, and memorabilia recalling the Beat generation." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Although the guiding motif is the Beat era, this 15-room hotel feels more like a 1930’s pensione in Florence, only without the meals." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The stylish and hip Boheme is a homage to the Beat Generation, in the heart of where it all began. Bold color schemes and whimsical touches enhance the hotel’s poetic vibe."

Gayot "Rooms are sparse at the three-story Hotel Boheme, but, considering the property's name, that's the whole idea."
