Almost hate to tell too many others about it; what a gem. My room, clean and fresh, had a sink and a shower. The toilet 20 ft down the hall also had a shower and was shared with two other rooms, but I never had to wait. Delightful breakfast and breakfast room. Kind, helpful staff.

For those unaware of this type of lodging, San Francisco is populated with all the name brand grand scale hotels. But it also has a good amount of these smaller established spots, many three and four stories tall, with maybe 20 rooms. They almost look like row houses, but have always been commercial accommodations. There are some that are very... More

We loved our stay at the Golden Gate Hotel! Our room was small, but clean, and the hotel was located right in the heart of things - we walked or took the tram everywhere. We had a room with a shared bathroom, which I was worried about as I've never stayed at a hotel with a shared bathroom before, but... More

We loved this place. It is overfilling with character! We stayed 7 nights in a one bed/shared bathroom room. These rooms are small, which did not bother me in the least, but should still be noted. It is on a busy street, so some road noise but not too bad. The room was a bit warm on nicer days. The... More

This was a great place to spend five days in San Francisco. Really welcoming owners and staff, great location near Powell Street so convenient for cable cars, many sights, and a short trip to the MUNI lines along Market. Room was clean, well decorated and beautifully quiet. Cat was friendly and always around at breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.... More

I loved this place, so cute, such a beautiful setting. Great location walking distance to many of the great sites. Our room was very small (maybe a little too small) but very quaint, tastefully decorated. Breakfast each morning, teas/coffees and yummy croissants to start the day. Loved the old elevator in the building and the resident kitty cat who would... More

Here for a day to see this city. Home style hospitality, friendly atmosphere. Close to Union Square and great restarants in the area. This 100 year old hotel is modern witty free wifi and quaint with a three claw footed tub. As one guest shared with me, this is the only place he stays in San Francisco. Check it out... More

Charming family-run hotel. We had great rooms and service - one reviewer mentioned the view, but we were having too much fun to worry about that - the resident cat visited our room (at our invitation) and the resident dog would great us in the morning. I have recommended this place to several friends who have all enjoyed their stay... More

My wife and I recently had a wonderful stay at the Golden Gate Hotel. From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful and the other guests were delightful. We were given great tips for ethnic restaurants, the location was outstanding and the bed was very comfortable. We would not hesitate to... More
