Golden Gate Hotel, San Francisco

"This will now be my go-to hotel everytime I visit San Francisco. Great location, easy walk to numerous restaurants and bars. Union Square is close with much more expensive hotels. PROS- great location, the staff was friendly, helpful, simply amazing (shout out to Maria, Rhian and another nice young lady which I did not get the name), nice touches like coffee and tea available at the lobby. Complimentary breakfast at sister hotel a couple doors down. Cookies available in the afternoon. Each room is nicely furnished. The elevator is over a 100 years old but still works! Very clean. Felt like staying at your grandma's place in SF. Having Skittles the cat hanging out at the lobby added to the experience. CONS - Water pressure was low but I survived. Some rooms have a clawfoot tub, so be advised if you don't want to climb over the tub."

"Absolutely lovely staff. Hotel itself is cool. Only thing is the shared bathroom does not have a wash basin in it. So you potentially have people who have just wiped their bottoms running around the hotel touching things. Surely a health code violation or something?!"

"If you love cats, pick room 107. Skittle greeted us and took us to our room. She ended up sleeping with us and spent rest of the morning till we checked out. Building is a traditional San Francisco Victorian style. If you would like to experience the old architecture and boutique hotel services, this is your place. Other guests seemed to be pretty quiet and respectful when we stayed. So we enjoyed our stay."

"Had a great stay here! The rooms were very cute and extremely clean. The staff was amazing! Shout-out to Samira for some amazing breakfast service and croissants. It should be noted that this hotel does not have Air conditioning. So if this bothers you, this might not be the best place for you. Opening the windows worked well for me."
