Oyster Upscale
"This 136-room historic hotel in swanky Nob Hill has an attentive staff, a quiet, intimate atmosphere, and old-world grandeur to spare." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Each of the spacious rooms is individually decorated – many have a wet bar, and some have kitchens. Indulge yourself at the world-famous Nob Hill Spa, located on the upper floors of the hotel."
Star Service "The historic establishment offers the most intimate and distinguished feel of any of the four hotels topping the hill." 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
