My stay in San Francisco was part of a larger trip which also included New York and LA. Honestly the hotel was perfect for what I was looking for, very easy going. No uncomfortable pestering (although I’d recommend using the do not disturb sign to avoid being woken by housekeeping). The location was excellent and walking everywhere was super simple. One lovely lady at reception was amazing with directions and recommendations, one of which was cycling across the Golden Gate Bridge (a must...

Argonaut Hotel

10/10 Excellent

We were a bit worried when we arrived that the area outside the hotel was crazy busy and full of loud cars, bikes and music… but we had read a top tip to request a courtyard room and so actually our room was super quiet and relaxing and a nice break from the chaos of fisherman’s wharf. Restaurant breakfast was delicious but there’s also a latam coffee shop on the corner of the block directly behind the hotel who do amazing pastries. The hotel is perfectly located for the tram stop (get there...

What a great location only a few minutes drive from Golden Gate Bridge and on bus route 28 into Fisherman’s Wharf. We had a courtyard room which, although it was cosy, was all we needed for a couple of nights in San Francisco. The bed was really comfortable and the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Being able to park our car on site and not worry about it being safe was a bonus. We would highly recommend this quirky hotel with a friendly welcome. We’d happily stay again.

Excellent value for a well decorated, spacious and clean room (refurbished a year ago). Free, ample parking was a massive bonus - and great value when compared with other hotels expensive nightly rates. We booked 3 nights when visiting the city, and the location for seeing the sites was great; a Big Bus tour pick-up spot was conveniently 50 yds down the street. Paul and Lloyd on reception were very helpful; Paul was especially friendly and provided much useful info when we were checking in. A...
