Hotel Beresford Arms (San Francisco, USA)

Guests find the members of staff at the Beresford Arms friendly and helpful so if you have any questions or issues during your stay, you'll be treated courteously by the staff.

Guests very much welcome the hotel's location. It's perfect for exploring the sights and sounds of this fascinating city such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and the famously crooked Lombard Street. The hotel is well-served by public transport - the iconic cable cars can be caught a few blocks away.

The afternoon tea and wine social is a very popular feature at the Beresford Arms. Various complimentary cheeses, biscuits and wines are provided. Guests find it's a great way to meet the other guests in the hotel and it offers a pleasant and relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

The lack of air conditioning in the rooms is an issue for some guests. Obviously, this is only a problem on hot days but it's something to bear in mind if you are booking a stay during the summer months. Fans are available for those that need it.

Since this hotel is located in a busy part of San Francisco, it can get quite loud outside. Guests staying in rooms facing the street report being disturbed by noise from traffic and people particularly when windows are open to let in air.

In contrast to the tea and wine social, breakfast doesn't meet the expectations of some guests. They report that it lacks variety and doesn't include any hot cooked items or fruit juices. Some guests chose to eat breakfast elsewhere.
