San Remo Hotel (San Francisco, USA)

The hotel is within walking distance to a variety of North Beach sites and guests can easily access a cable car or the ferry to Alcatraz. Since parking is available across the street, it is possible to leave your car behind and completely rely on public transportation or walk to any destination in the vicinity during your stay.

The staff members are courteous and very helpful, whether guests need help storing or loading luggage or finding a specific location.

Guests enjoy the hotel's unique character, which consists of the historic building and decorations as well as the diverse free amenities such as beverages, a massage chair and books. The attention to detail adds to the feeling of being welcomed and cared for.

While the shared bathrooms do not detract most guests from the overall experience, the small size of the rooms do you bother some.

The rooms do not have phones, and guests report that Wi-Fi can be quite spotty. Several guests classified the cable TV in their room as substandard, which adds to the old-fashioned environment.

Guests report that the walls are extremely thin, which means you might hear your neighbors talking or walking across the hall at some point during your stay. Some guests claim that sleeping with ear plugs provided a wonderful night's sleep, so you might want to prepare yourself for the lack of soundproofing.
