Rough Guide
"This small, fifteen-room hotel has tiny but dramatic rooms featuring canopied beds and Art Deco-ish bathrooms, all done in rich, dark colours."
i
Columbus Ave can be noisy, so if you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room at the back.
Michelin Guide

Request a room off the street side, which is quieter.

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."
Star Service

BlackBook
