“Comfortable Neighborhood Hotel”

The Queen Anne Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Long Beach, CA
Jul 29, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Situated adjacent to Japan Town and easy walking distance to the Filmore District, this Upper Pacific Heights Victorian is a great alternative to bustling (and noisy) Union Square and corporate hotels. Great Bus access to all of SF outside hotel on Sutter.

We stayed three nights: our double queen room was adequately furnished and included mini fridge and coffee maker, although with coffee readily available in salon, not necessary. Furnishings and decor are Victorian/eclectic, which may not be my preference, but do create a charm that is consistent with architecture. Every time I stepped out of my room I felt like I was in one of the older European hotels that I find charmingly acceptable in our travels -- ie, this isn't a Four Seasons or Omni -- if that's what you need! (those are good too..., but this is a more intimate/casual alternative)

What counts: room was clean, beds comfortable enough and bathroom a modern, clean remodel, although water pressure in shower could have used a good boost. Windows that open (quiet at night... noise picks up in A.M. with buses, etc. )

Staff: helpful -- especially concierge staff who assisted us with transportation needs.

Best: convenient access to all that SF has to offer without staying in the center of the tourist districts (union square or wharf) -- add in a continental breakfast and reasonable charge for parking if you need it and the Queen Anne is a winner. (we did need to skip the continental breakfast one morning to indulge in La Boulangerie in the Fillmore district...) There are decent dining options close by and easy bus transport to others.

If you want the feel of living in SF, stay at the Queen Anne, hop on a bus and walk. SF was just voted the most walkable city in the US by walkable.com and we couldn't agree more!

“Great Stay, Excellent Value”

The Queen Anne Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Tucson,AZ
Jul 10, 2008

Stayed here three nights. Location is a strong point. If you have a car there is a hotel owned lot across the street with in and out privileges for just $16 per night. The neighborhood is quiet with everything you need within walking distance. A convenience store is right across the street. A bus to the downtown area is just across the street. If you are a senior the fare is 50 cents, other wise it's a buck fifty.

Our second floor, front room was large, airy and very comfortable. There was some street noise, but everything in San Francisco seems to be right on the street. Hotel staff is very helpful and welcoming. The breakfast is a cut above the normal. Parts on this property are a little shop worn but that just seems to add to the genuine Victorian decor and atmosphere. Walking up and down a grand staircase to our second floor room was fun and unusual. There is also a good elevator if you need it. The Queen Anne, in addition to being an excellent value, is fun and convenient. We will stay here again and recommend it to others.

“Charming hotel in good location”

The Queen Anne Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Finchampstead
Jun 17, 2008

Old but beautifully maintained, with high quality traditional furnishings. We had 2 rooms for 5 days - both were big smart rooms, very well cleaned. Large beautiful lounge in which free sherry/coffee and cookies are served for residents each evening.
Breakfast is well presented and more comprehensive than motel fare. Staff are very friendly and helpful - it feels like a family run hotel.

My only disappointment was the lack of in-room coffee maker.

Parking is available across the road at $25, and the excellent Muni bus service stops right outside.

Highly recommended.

“Great little hotel in the real san francisco”

The Queen Anne Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Peterborough
Jun 6, 2008

Great little hotel out of the way but if you have got a city pass you can catch the tram down to the main attractions. Very good staff and friendly.

Extra bonus was the free parking on offer as parking in san francisco is very hard to get.

Very old typical san francisco hotel which had loads of character, offers free breakfast in the morning too which was very nice. Also if you are in between 4 - 6 pm you get free cherry and biscuits in the lounge.

We stayed here for 6 days and enjoyed every minute of it, loads of great restaurants to eat at and plenty of shopping to do too. We went to alcatraz on a night tour which i recommend booking before you go as i gets very busy. Also hired some bikes and did a 16 mile bike ride and caught the ferry back.

Had a great six days

“Like stepping back in time”

The Queen Anne Hotel

May 25, 2008

The Queen Ann did not dissapoint.
We were looking for a Hotel nere the Filmore District and this was a perfect location. The interior is amazing and a refreshing contrast to all of the faceless chain hotels that are being built.
Darlene found us a special room to celebrate my wifes birthday.
The only thing missing is a bar, although you do get a free glass of sherry if you are back in time.
