Guest Reviews

• Lizbeth (8/5): - This is a cute hotel in a central location. It is with in walking distance from China town, cable carts and Bart station. It is very clean, rooms come with a small kitchenette, with microwave and mini fridge. They even have some dishes in the room. It is an older building ( but that is pretty much every building in SF), I thought it was very cute and well kept. Most hotels do not have AC, so this one didn't had one, but had a ceiling fan and you can open the windows. The double room has full size beds not queen, that worked fo us. Bathroom was super clean, bring your own toiletries for sure. They do provide continental breakfast, very basic selection boiled eggs, waffles, cereal, coffee, we thought it was good enough. The highlight was the make your own waffle station. There is a minimart store right next door to the hotel, super convinient and restaurants all around. If you are looking for a place to stay for a couple of days within a reasonable price and not looking for luxury, this is your place. The area is average to good, we never felt unsafe walking anywere. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we would definitely stay here again.
• Rui (10/5): - Friendly and helpful staff. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable room with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was o.k. with just a few simple choices. Close to everything and it’s in a pretty safe area considering you’re in a big city. Good value overall.
• Vikram (8/5): - Good property but needs a few upgrades like air conditioning in rooms and also charging points.
• J Kirk (8/5): - Property location was good and the staff was attentive. Sheet and towel quality would have made for a better experience.
• David (10/5): - great vintage hotel in a great location near union square.
• Keith (10/5): - Great breakfast included in room rate. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.
• Al (8/5): - Breakfast was great
• Angelica (10/5): - El desayuno incluido, es bueno y a la hora exacta.
• Nina (8/5): - You get what you pay for. Staff very friendly. Hotel is fairly good location but very old and rundown and the room smelled pretty bad. The continental breakfast is basic. Overall, value is ok but wasn’t the most fancy of stays!
• Matthew S (8/5): - Clean room | Staff | Breakfast | Location
• Vickie (8/5): - Classic older hotel with friendly staff. Sweet sepia-like hand drawings of old famous city views on all doors and walls. No air conditioning but screens on some windows (so loud city sounds all night long.) Elevator has a manual gate, which was a fun retro experience. The walk-in closet is massive enough for two suitcases open on stands and still room for two people to use it as a dressing room. Room is large even with the king-sized bed but the bed is very stiff. Breakfast was provided but was somewhat limited (hard boiled eggs, toast, fresh waffle maker, apples). Best to consider parking is tough—they said it could accommodate a very small sedan only, so we ended up having to use a public lot two blocks away ($45/day, add $10 for in and out and only open 7am to midnight). Street parking is metered and restricted to 2 or 3 hours on Monday to Saturday. A couple of good neighborhood coffee shops and restaurants in the surrounding blocks.
• Silvina (8/5): - Very good attention from the staff, clean and tidy room, very convenient location
• Kelly (6/5): - It wasn't the worst hotel we've been at but it definitely wasn't great. If I could do it again, I would spend a little extra money on a better hotel. 1. No AC in entire building and all the rooms. They say bc San Fran isn't that hot, well it got hot as hell and stuffy in those rooms and you're forced to open windows, which in turn leads to very noisy loud nights. 2. Couldn't bring any food from the included breakfast to your room. It's a hotel. The purpose of one is for service and have a nice relaxing stay you spend money for. It was clear this rule was bc they don't want to clean. Which also leads to.. 3. They don't offer daily cleaning
• Michelle (10/5): - Good
• Benjamin (10/5): - Breakfast was a nice break on the wallet. Room was beautiful and decent size. Elevator was an experience in itself. Would love to stay here again.
• David Cory (6/5): - Little to no interaction of staff. Property on cusp of rundown.
• Joe (10/5): - VERY nice staff, good breakfast!
• Cynthia (10/5): - Clean facility, good location, staff is helpful
• Cyndi (10/5): - Everything was great!
• Nolan (4/5): - Loud all around me here. I asked in advance for top floor too and not saved/granted upon arrival. Then yes some stomper above me and some selfish person yapping on cell at 4 am til 545 am this am! I called down and the guy said nothing he could do. Terrible non help. I kept calm instead and chose that route. Just can't recommend here of course. I'm a quiet respectful guest and one of the good ones to have stay at their please and this should be considred more. All guests should be reminded to be quiet and respectful of others during their stay as other ppl to factor too. Not just them self. Was hard to find peace here.
• Beverly (10/5): - This hotel was originally opened in 1929. It has been updated perfectly while keeping the nostalgia from bygone days. It was a nice surprise. Very clean. Very hospitable. Nice breakfast.
• Tom (10/5): - Due to fires in another part of California, we needed to add an extra night to our stay at the Mayflower. We were treated so nicely and were actually upgraded to a room that we thoroughly enjoyed for all the nights.
• Michael (10/5): - It is a charming place
• Leslie (10/5): Wonderful surprise and great experience - I stayed at the Mayflower during a conference because SF was sold out. I travel a lot for business and stay at marriotts. The online reviews prepared me well - this is an old building with a single person at the desk, old elevator, and very basic amenities. If you are good with that (and I love old buildings and don’t rely on hotels toiletries) then this is a comfortable stay - and I’m glad I took the chance to be near Moscone. Everything was exactly as described - and the person at the front desk was very helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.
• Carolyn (10/5): Convenient and comfortable hotel - Our stay was delightful! The staff was friendly and helpful, especially the young woman (I wish we got her name! She really was the best!!!). The continental breakfast was really good with several offerings, which made a huge difference for our stay. The room was great, with a nice kitchenette and a huge walk-in closet. The location was also close to many attractions, restaurants, bars, etc. This historic hotel was a one-of-a-kind experience and we loved it!
• Jon (8/5): - An older hotel in a convenient location. Friendly, helpful staff.
• jefferson Hisola (10/5): - Clean breakfast location
• Brendan (10/5): Great place to stay! - Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel is beautiful and clean. It is an old building, but feels well kept and comfortable. The elevator is old and small, but works well and is an interesting feature. The room was well appointed and clean, with a sepia mural on one wall. The mattress was a little hard, but still quite comfortable. The bathroom layout was a bit less than ideal, as the toilet was right next to the door and the toilet paper roll was far enough away that one had to stretch a bit to reach it. There was a hairdryer in the room. This is probably just a consequence of the building being old and the owners probably can’t do much about it without a complete renovation of the room. The furniture was nice and fit the tone, there was a medium size tv with cable and Netflix. A small fridge and microwave, as well as a few dishes made up the “kitchen” portion. The closet was large enough to be a changing room. The breakfast consisted of waffles, cereal, coffee, boiled eggs, toast, etc. The only thing I would say would be a good addition is maybe some bacon, sausage, etc. Certainly more than adequate. I can’t stress enough that this was an incredible bargain and the staff is doing a fantastic job. Would definitely stay here again.
• Bao (10/5): - Mayflower is the best for the price range
• Andrew (10/5): Hidden Excellence - Such a special hotel right in the heart of Nob Hill! Clean, comfortable, great value. Wonderful service and excellent rooms. Very relaxed and friendly vibes. Make sure you check out the market too!!!
• Andrea (10/5): - Beautiful Property!
• Danielle (10/5): - Staff are fantastic here, friendly and helpful. The room was adorable and VERY clean. Comfortable bed, free continental breakfast. Love that they preserved the antique elevator, and the themes for the rooms. Kitchenette had pretty dishware to use and a mini fridge, microwave. Definitely intend to be back next time.
• Antonio (10/5): - Comfort. Good location , very friendly staff and clean room
• Jacqueline (6/5): - Very basic
• Lynn (10/5): Good hotel - Nice spacious room, more like a suite than a basic room Room has everything you need. Staff really helpful, friendly and informative. Good location as easy to get buses and trams close by. Lots of places around to eat and drink. Hotel very clean and breakfast nice.
• Elizabeth (8/5): - This is a beautiful historical hotel. The breakfast was good. The room was clean and mostly quiet. It has an elevator which is helpful. It’s important to know the hotel is a few blocks from the ‘tenderloin’ district which is not a good area but at least when I asked the front desk staff what the neighborhood was like he was honest and told me to stay away from that area. The parking is in a garage below the building. The entrance is narrow and difficult to navigate with a car. We accidentally scraped our car on the front passenger side. The next time we exited we asked for someone to direct us. We were able to get out just fine then. There was no street parking available so we had to continue to use the garage and wish someone had directed us in the garage the first time to avoid damaging our car.
• Mark (10/5): - The staff was courteous and the facilities and room were clean and well kept. Staff was helpful providing suggestion on local sites to see, assist with MUNI transportation, and places to eat. I love boutique hotels like the Mayflower and would stay again and have recommended it to friends for future stays.
• charles (10/5): Nice hotel - Bathroom appeared remodeled yesterday! Very clean, comfortable bed. Bit of annoying street noise late at night. Excellent value.
• Iwetta (8/5): - This hotel was built in 1920s and it was lovely. The history can be felt throughout this building from beautiful ceiling and historic safe in the entrance hall to 1920s style elevators. I found the hotel quiet in general. That said, those who are light sleepers, like myself, ask for a room in the back of the building not facing the alley/street or next to elevators. My first room was 606 not facing the street but facing the alley but every morning about 5am street noise woke me up and I could occasionally hear the elevator at night. The wonderful and polite gentlemen at the front desk found a perfectly quiet room at the back of the building. Any room ending with 19 to 16 (619, 618...) is located away from street. There was no A/C in the rooms but there were fans and all my windows opened. Some rooms seemed to be more renovated than others. Liked that there was a microwave and the fridge. The rooms and bathrooms were quite clean with the exception of behind the bed that needed some dusting. Bed was comfortable. Some reviews did mention some unpleasant smell, and yes some of it was present, however, I think this is due to the old cosntruction. I smelled the same thing thoughout the city as passed old buildings etc. I didn't find this to be a problem for me. The breakfast is minimal and basic but I appreciated the hard-boiled eggs and bread. Dispite some reviews, it was well stocked and seemed enough for everyone. I would stay at this hotel again.
• Jose (8/5): - Very nice hotel for families
• Michelle (10/5): - Very antique vibe!
• Yong (6/5): A rather ordinary old hotel - The hotel left the deepest impression on me was its old elevator. The rooms were small and the sound insulation was poor. Especially, there was no parking space available (the public parking lot costs $60 per night), which made me, a first-time visitor to San Francisco, completely unable to adapt.
• Lisa (10/5): - Awesome hotel for price. Free breakfast is a plus. Location is exceptional. Walking distance to Chinatown, Union Square, the piers. They should think about cleaning the windows. Kind of gross! But we will be back.
• Maritza (10/5): - I absolutely loved this hotel and would come back when visiting San Francisco. Only con would be the parking which is only suitable for compact cars as the garage door is only 70 inches wide. If you don’t have a small car you need to find a parking outside which needs to be moved every 2 hours or pay to park inside a garage overnight which wasn’t bad. The garage was only 1 block down. But overall, amazing experience.
• Byron (10/5): - Because of Air Canada strike, we thought we may need additional nights, the pleasant and helpful desk staff were extremely flexible and accommodating. The maid service was excellent, thank you! The hotel is absolutely charming, we enjoyed our living space for a family of 4!
• Christie (10/5): - It is very unique and interesting. We love it.
• Catherine (10/5): - Very friendly staff - seemed genuinely invested in their guests having a pleasant stay. The breakfast was fun. Very international crowd, generous with food.
• Lauren (10/5): - Fun elevator, lots of closet space and great location for all the things we wanted to do! The market next store was great for drinks and late night snack. Breakfast options could have been better.
• Joseph (10/5): Great Hotel, reasonable price - We had a great stay. We were in town for a concert. They accommodated us with luggage storage and early checkin. The room was great with old SF charm. We had a wonderful stay!
• Gary (8/5): - I liked most things. Parking garage sucked.
• Carless (10/5): - Great place
• Olena (8/5): - It was a good experience.
• Karen (10/5): - Loved The Mayflower Hotel. They kept the charm of the original hotel while providing comfortable rooms - spacious and clean. Staff was very personable. If ever in SF again, this is where I’m going.
• Kenisha (8/5): - Great stay, friendly service, clean and spacious rooms, convenient for travel. Water pressure for shower a bit low, but not bothersome. Overall, great stay and I recommend and would stay again.
• David (10/5): - Very pleasant stay. Staff were excellent.
• Claudia (10/5): - Great stay; nice staff
• Tina (10/5): - The front desk was very friendly and he made our check-in process effortless. As we were checking out, the staff was very helpful to store our luggages until we left for the airport later in the day and we were able to enjoy the city without having to worry where to find a new place to store our stuff. Awesome staff!!
• Hollis (10/5): - -
• Robert (4/5): - Nice hotel bad neighborhood.
• Chaikovska (10/5): - Unique old hotel with its own history, nice room pleasant staff
• Neni (10/5): - The hotel location is perfect, proximity to most of the attractions and places that we wanted to visit. The hotel is antique, the room, the breakfast is adequate. The service is great, and they are very helpful when we asked about transportation and showed us on how to safe money to buy them online. We really enjoyed our time and for sure we are going to stay there again in our next trip to San Francisco.
• Pinaki (8/5): - Great location and excellent staff.
• Sanjay (8/5): - Historic, almost 100 years old hotel.
• Jon (8/5): - good solid hotel. good for the price and parking available
• Rachelle (10/5): - While the neighborhood was a little questionable, the facility was lovely. It is very quaint but well maintained. Staff were awesome. Would definitely return at a later date!
• Marc (10/5): - The staff was superb. I have never felt such personalized and caring attention from any hotel as I did at the Mayflower.
• octavio (10/5): - Very good
• Min (10/5): - Loved our stay at the Mayflower Hotel. The 100-year-old charm, elegant lobby, and vintage elevator made it a unique experience. Very convenient location and friendly front desk staff. Would definitely stay again! HAN
• chuck (6/5): - Affordable in a good location, but older although the room was fine. Parking was a bit problematic as they have parking down a ramp but it is extremely tight to which I scraped my car a little bit. Breakfast was fine and staff were terrifice.
• Jacek (10/5): - Very nice old place to stay. Just be aware of parking spot. It's limited
• Shanteela (10/5): - Great location, comfortable beds, spacious room, free parking (as long as your car fits) friendly and courteous staff, free breakfast, beautiful and historic hotel- all for a very reasonable price! This may be my new go-to for lodging in SF! Thank you Mayflower.
• Rebecca (10/5): - Loved staying here! Will definitely stay again if I ever come back to San Fran. Spotless, comfortable, kind staff, great breakfast, super comfy bed, great location!! Literally cannot fault it.
• andrea (10/5): - 10/10 Recommend - AMAZING STAFF, HISTORIC FEEL, WALKABLE - the breakfast was amazing and they made sure to refill anything that went empty immediately! The little market next door was a life saver too. Came for the 100 year old elevator which is a whole experience and will come back again just for the service. Special shout out to Michael and Jason!
• Melissa (8/5): - It’s so old but really nice. The elevator was an experience in and of itself!
• Dipanjan (10/5): - Historical hotel built in 1929 with real wood carvings
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good for an old hotel. Has an old hotel smell in the hallways but less so in the room.
• Nicholas (10/5): - Great spot to stay
• Roberto (8/5): - Good
• Christopher (8/5): - Despite missing all the amenities of a modern day hotel this beauty has all the character, charm and service of the roaring 20s. I guarantee you will not have a better nights sleep!
• Gena (10/5): - Very accommodating staff. Beautiful historic building.
• griselda (10/5): - Great service!
• Ganesh (10/5): - Excellent place to stay. Very nice staff. In a very convenient location close to many things.
• Xiyin (10/5): - Mayflower really is wonderful at this price range. It is clean, safe and conveniently located near the union square and China town. They have nice breakfasts too with waffles, bread, eggs, cereals, milk and juice. They also have very spacious storage rooms and a small kitchen with sink and microwave. The hotel itself is also really beatiful with antique elevator. It is near Tendorlin, but still quite safe and queit, so nothing to worry about. And the ventilation fan in the bathroom is kinda dirty, it will be the best if they clean it.
• Juan (8/5): - Great stay in the City. Free parking for small cars as it is a TIGHT squeeze to go in and out of structure. Overall experience was great! Central location was the best! We will be back.
• Shubhangi Bhaskar (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay here with my family. The vibe is very nice and rustic. Feels safe on the street to enter even at night. For breakfast they had DIY pancakes, boiled eggs , bread, fruits , hot beverages and fresh orange juice. I was pleasantly surprised by the clean fresh bedsheets and towels. They have a cute sink, cutlery , fridge , microwave in the room. The staff is very kind and polite. Would 100% recommend for the location and affordable price.
• Martha (10/5): - Age and the staff was very helpful they will be starting renovations soon they have just purchased this property and have many plans on keeping the original entry and the old elevator also. Owner was on site and is a part of San Francisco culture and plan on keeping it that way according to them
• Frank (10/5): - Nice area. had free parking garage and free breakfast. yall cool
• Mairin (10/5): - There is really not accessible parking here. It’s incredibly narrow so you’ll likely scrape your car trying to get to the parking garage. That was the only downside- room was older but comfortable, the included breakfast was tasty, and the staff was great. We loved our stay
