Reviews from visitors:
Funky boutique hotel in nob hill/union square area (great location, safe). It's quite large and has a really nice downstairs lounge and multiple sitting areas so good for traveling groups to congregate.
Luis the manager is super nice and hospitable. It was no problem to get an early check in.
The rooms are mostly from the 70s - lots of flowery wallpaper. But, very clean, the bathroom was new, and had all the basics.
Great value to be had here, nice staff, a clean and safe stay. I recommend.
Very kind and accommodating front desk people. Room was large and darling. Fireplace and four poster bed. Bathroom looks recently remodeled and is very tasteful. Loved the parlour where I sat next to the fireplace and read and drank complimentary tea and ate cheese and crackers in the evening. Had complimentary breakfast there the following morning. everything is served individually because of Covid. Elevator is old style. Fun and quirky. Building is old, but charming. Very clean. Recommend wholeheartedly.
Staff was very friendly and responsive, the room was comfortable and had everything needed. The fireplace was a lovely touch and we loved the fun decor. Highly, highly recommend!
I travel all over the US and this place by far is one of the best places to stay truly a hidden gem not very many left like this where the staff cares, the design is on point and the rooms are spacious with a fireplace in each room. Not to mention the breakfast is adorable.
Location was close enough to everything one might need but far enough from the tenderloin to be safe and convenient. This stretch of Bush street was surprisingly empty at night. I even covered my (huge tub of) belongings with a blanket and left them on the porch next door (Petite Auberge is a hotel next door and they share a reception desk, so beware of this if checking in late at night while alone and with too many bags to carry) while I ran to White Swann to check in. Although I booked through booking.com for Petite Auberge (867 Bush Street) a sign on their locked door directed me to the White Swan one door over at 845 Bush Street for check in. I took the gamble that my stuff would still be there when I returned with the door/room key instead of lugging it all back and forth. I didn't like it and it was stressful and unadvised but turned out fine. I ended having to carry all of it over to the White Swan anyways because my room ended up being in the White Swan. For no extra charge I was upgraded to a room with a fireplace and very nice four post bed that was unfortunately a bit too hard for me but classy and old timey. My my favorite aesthetic detail was the old books that lined various shelves and random holes in the wall that were fun to skim through if you're into that kind of thing, which I am. I didn't recognize as ny titles or authors but it was still a treat to peruse. The room became painfully cold during the night but management had already been aware of this because not only does the fireplace work (a rare and special treat in SF) but there was also a space heater provided in the armoire. All of the small details were included, even going beyond many of the trendy very expensive downtown hotels. Although I did not venture into the back garden, I had a beautiful view of it from my windows, all five of them. The gap underneath the door leading into the hallway was fairly large so I put something to help block the sound and light, and the walls were really thin so sound travelled easy. The bathroom was clean, had everything one could need and even more in the shape of an extra countertop- which for someone who has too much makeup and hygiene and enjoys spreading it out- was much appreciated. There was only one receptionist working at a time, but it seems like that was enough. I need some help getting my TV to work but they handled that quickly. The whole experience was peaceful and easy and I would definitely recommend. There is one thing... It could be that I watched a bunch of television shows about ghosts on the travel channel during my stay but even so I'm fairly positive this old hotel is haunted. Nothing negative, but definitely a lot soaked into the walls. But that fireplace though, what a treat on a cold San Franciscan night.
