Beresford Arms

I heard of this place from a friend of mine who comes to San Francisco every year for more than a decade and is a recurring customer. I have made mistakes in my booking (I booked the wrong starting day! I basically showed up without a reservation for the day, as I messed up with the time zone!) and the staff was super helpful and basically saved my life. This alone was worth staying here. Overall, considering the alternatives, this is a pretty decent place with a reasonable price. I liked the fact that you have a kitchenette, and you can prepare or warm up some simple food or deliveries yourself. I also liked the coffee machine, although it uses capsules that are difficult to buy by yourself at groceries – getting extras from the hotel is expensive, but as I was alone, I had more than enough, and they replenished them every day. The room was even too big for me, but this was the best option as I had to stay +10 days. Extra bonus: if you are Italian, they have the bidet – at least it was in my room, as you can see from the photos! This was unexpected and great to find. They also have special pet-friendly rooms if you travel with your dog, for instance. I would definitely recommend this hotel as well for family visits. It exceeded my expectations even despite my friend recommending it.

Really confortable, clean and nice stuff :)

I love the charm of this older hotel. My husband andI have stayed there twice and loved it each time. It is well positioned. I feel safe there which is important when travelling alone.

The room was clean and rather large. The staff was helpful.

Nice clean rooms. The staff forgot to make up the room one day. Breakfast in the reception area was adequate to start the day. NIce wine and cheese happy hour in the afternoon. Close to many amenities.
