“nice old fashioned hotel”

very nice hotel, clean with old style charm and well maintained walking distance to Union square, shopping and cable car. Evening session with wine and cake was great and met a few interesting people then. Definitely would stay here again

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay”

We enjoyed 5 lovely days at Petite Auberge. Were pleasantly surprised to find out that the hotel offerred "happy hour" each evening. We met some wonderful new friends and shared lots of travel stories. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that breakfast was also provided, in lovely surroundings. The ambience of the hotel is lovely, very french and a wonderful contract from the hotels we had been staying in during our five week holiday.

“Great Location but needs upgrade”

I have had the pleasure of staying in this hotel several years ago and it seemed so fresh and new! Very cute. However, the test of time has worn on this hotel and it doesn't seem like they've done any upgrades in a long time. In the sitting room the couches are worn and should have been recovered or replaced. The overall hotel needs some TLC. They have an excellent location, the staff is very helpful and the afternoon "happy hour" is wonderful after a long day of site seeing or shopping. My biggest gripe is that they have this jewel in an excellent location and they aren't investing the money to keep it looking fresh. I was very disappointed to see how the test of time had worn on this hotel. Very sad. My hope is that they'll see this review and consider doing some upgrades and giving this place a makeover! If I was to come again I'd maybe try their sister hotel a few doors down and see if it's worn any better.

“A Romantic Escape”

A very nice small boutique in Nob Hill close enough to walk to Union Square and all transportation. Like a small bit of France, partner Hotel of the White Swan next door. Pros: 1) A lovely Romantic and comfortable room (ours had fireplace) 2) Good FREE breakfasts, unlimited wine and soda's 3) Interesting French Decor 4)Friendly helpful staff, many recommendations for what to see and direction, and let me print out tickets for free that I had forgotten to before trip Cons: 1) The White swan two doors down is the main location for the 24 hotel desk service, mostly no one at front desk of this hotel. 2) no ice bucket, ice or refrigerator in room (as was stated on this site) constant walk up and down to get drinkable beverages. 3) If you are actually interested in watching TV in your Hotel room it is very hard to do. (But it didn't really affect us, but just good to know) For a romantic vacation getaway with your significant other it is highly recomented

“good hotel for the price”

good location and hotel was very clean with a nice and friendly atmosphere

“Excellent value!”

We stayed here for 2 weeks in early April, and were very happy with the room, service, cleanliness, and the great amenities such as the excellent breakfast and wine service. The central location meant we could walk to all the attractions in the area, including China Town, Fisherman's Wharf, and Union Square. The entire staff were helpful, courteous and pleasant.

“Petite Auberge”

An older European style hotel in a central location at a very good price. We were upgraded to a room with a gas fireplace which was a nice touch. One nice feature was an evening wine hour, where we talked to other guests, and received a tip on a good restaurant - Hog's Island Oyster Bar, where we had a nice sunset dinner. Also a tasty breakfast.

“Honeymoon accommodations: check.”

It was a great little hotel. It was our honeymoon, and they brought wine and beautiful flowers to the room. The location was great and close to everything, although it's on the street, so be prepared for city street noise. The breakfasts were great, the staff was wonderful--overall a great experience. We had a queen with a fireplace. This place had a hostel feel, bed and breakfast food and atmosphere, and comfortable room. It's probably not for anybody searching for high-class or chain hotel style, but it was great.

“Petit Auberge/White Swan”

Gentleman at the front desk of Petit Auberge was very nice and welcoming. The room, not so much. It had a fireplace, as expected, but the bed was terrible. I sat on it and knew it would be a bad night's sleep. Room was hot, so they brought me a fan, sounded like the Spruce Goose. The TV, circa1990, was in the armoire, impossible to see unless you successfully propped open the armoire door and used a chair to keep it open. No desk, which I needed. I gave in and asked to be upgraded and they had nothing, but got me a WONDERFUL room in their sister hotel next door, the White Swan. Excellent bed, room, desk, degree of quiet. I wanted to live there. So I'll ask for that hotel, and that room next time.
