Cornell Hotel

Amazing place! Very lovely decorated with the spirit of old France, feel like in the museum or castle , especially in the dining hall )) Elevator is a masterpiece!! Beside this impression - the room was very comfortable, bed just perfect for a proper rest. Breakfast - good options. Not super rich, but absolutely satisfying. Hotel itself is pretty clean, location is just in the middle of the town, safe and clean area

There is a specific and a bit strange smell in the hotel reception and dining area. Luckily the room was out of it

ユニオンスクエアから歩いて10分程度、チャイナタウンにもアクセスが良く、立地と価格のバランスがとても良いと思います。こじんまりとしたホテルですが、不便は感じませんでした。また、毎日同じメニューではあるものの朝食がきちんと用意されていることとコーヒーがいつでもロビーで飲めることが良かったです。部屋には冷蔵庫はありませんが、ロビーに共用の冷蔵庫があり、フロントで専用のラベルをもらってつけて保管するスタイルでした。共用電子レンジもありました。

私の部屋は違いましたが、同僚の部屋はシャワーの水圧がとても弱かったそうです。あと部屋の鍵がめちゃくちゃ古い金属の鍵で毎回閉めるのに苦戦していました。

Lokalizacja w samym centrum miasta, ciekawy wystrój wnętrz i pyszne śniadania :)

Jedyny minus był taki że winda nie zawsze działała

The location was good.

It was 96 degrees and they had no air conditioning. The sheets were like sandpaper. The breakfast was awful. The nice restaurant in the basement closed some time ago. The stairs are criminal--and the elevator was only able to be run by staff. I stayed here 26 years ago when it was wonderful. Make a different choice.

We spent four nights at Cornell Hotel De France in March 2026. The Good: 1. The location is great. Right by Union Square, walkable to so much! Cable and bus stops near by. 2. They serve breakfast. Continental +, eggs, bacon, juice, cereal, yogurt, waffle maker. Fruit on one morning. It takes the person putting out the food about 30-45 minute to wander out with all the food. If you go right when the breakfast opens, to get out exploring, you will be limited on your food choices. 3. Very unique, quaint boutique hotel. The old building and old elevator were fun to see. 4. Our room had a decent sized bathroom and closet. At least big enough to put one suitcase in...we had three suitcases for three adults. 5. The rooms and hotel are a little quirky (think butler dog statue in the hallway holding a plate of hard candy) but it was fun to stay somewhere not cookie-cutter. The Not so Good 1. No air-conditioning. It just so happened it was a warm spell in SF in March at 85 degrees. There is a portable fan put in the room but was not adequate. The bathroom does not have airflow or a fan so it got very steamy and hot. 2. The smell, think of an old basement at grandma's house. 3. There was only one key to our room. We were told if we wanted our room cleaned we had to leave the keys behind, the key included the fob that opened the door to the outside hotel entrance. After having no one respond to open the outside door for us for about 10 minutes (twice). We decided we would keep the keys from then on and not have our room refreshed. We had it cleaned and new towels on only one day because of this. 4. Staff really does not want to be there or they need to get trained in the hospitality industry or maybe they were just really inexperienced and this was their first job opportunity? Would I stay there again? No, but it was a different/fun experience.
