Golden Gate Hotel

When I got to the hotel, it actually said it was CLOSED and I had to complete check in at a hotel down the street (despite already having a bunch of luggage to carry around). Was very strange. Breakfast was also at the other hotel (although it was actually very good). Elevator is a super old vintage one with two doors and there is also a cat in residence (I do like cats, but would've liked to know in advance since my dog went a bit crazy). The photos on the walls are also old and it gave me a bit of a Haunted Mansion vibe. Luckily no ghosts.

Wasn't clear enough in the listing that it was a shared bathroom.

Skittles the cat is friendly. The owners have preserved the original victorian charm of the place. Classic San Francisco.The windows open for some fresh sea air. big old clawfoot tub and shower. Be sure and observe the dog, cat, bird and mouse in the wonderful antique elevator. And take the stairs at least once to see all the great old photos. Close to some good restaurants (Bouche and Roxanne's for instance). Two steep blocks uphill to The Masonic. Parking right across the street. We have stayed previously at the Fairmont and Mark Hopkins and we now prefer this place. Real old San Francisco feel. Nothing not to like.

The Golden Gate Hotel is a cozy little place in a great location. We live in a Victorian house, so this felt just like home. The elevator is too cool and we enjoyed all the vintage pictures. The rooms were very clean and the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. We would love to visit again someday. Decaf options would have been nice.

No air circulation, small room.

I know there is a cat in the hotel but the smell of cat urine is quite strong. The room was clean, although TV and some plus sockets were not working. Bed and shower were very good. I preferred staying at the Cornell Hotel 2 minutes down the road!

Didn’t have time to try it for our stay.

Loved the location. Right next to the Masonic. We arrived during a storm and the lobby was locked. We had to walk to another hotel to check in. We had a toddler with us so it was a bit stressful. Our lights also kept turning on in the middle of the night. It also sounded like someone was outside our fire escape one night.

Cute little hotel right in the city. Old style elevator and fire escapes and everything wonderful. I got in late, but check-in was easy, just a few steps down the street to another hotel where I received my key. This place is so well decorated and full of charm! Great place for me and my dog.

The breakfast is in the partner hotel, Cornell (2 min walking). It’s not bad, just different. Also the packages bought had to be delivered in Cornell once golden gate reception works from 9-5pm.

It was unique and quaint! The cat is very sweet and friendly. None

Golden Gate front desk has limited hrs (closes @ 5). After hrs, the sister hotel, The Cornell front desk should be picking up phone calls; this failed me twice. And when I went to bkft the last day of my stay, there was no one @ that desk to buzz me in so I left to a nearby cafe. Otherwise it's a nice establishment with charming ambiance in a convenient location for my needs. As nice as the staff are, it needs work.

the decoration was nice!

The location was amazing. The decor was historic and lovely. It felt like we were back in time with all the modern benefits. The neighborhood was fun to walk around in. Breakfast was not the best. The eggs lacked flavor and the ham was cold. There weren't many items. There also wasn't any fruit.

Good

Breakfast was nice. Everyone is very nice. Rooms were clean.

I'm severely allergic to cats and there is an adorable hotel cat, but he ran into my room one morning. The staff was quick to help me get him out since I can't touch cats. The window in my room was street view facing and they don't have blackout curtains. The room was lit up all night with the decorative curtains which made it harder to sleep. I wanted to love this place, but won't stay here again. It's just a little run down, but one thing it does have going for it, is the incredible staff. Everyone was so welcoming, helpful, and kind.

One of the highlights is the free breakfast. Actually hot food. Having a good meal to start the day, in a very expensive city is such a great option. The location is really good because of easy access to transportation. There's good food markets right next to it, affordable eating places, and a Trader Joe's a few blocks away. I could see why I ran into people who told me they go back every trip to San Francisco. I definitely recommend them and will stay there again.

Lots of early morning noise of street cleaning.

The basement room had to air conditioning.. very stuffy. The basement hall is very dated and carpet looks dirty. Paint chipped everywhere z. The shower I could not stand up in without hitting my head

location, breakfast

The hotel is very close to the cable car station, and only 10 mins walk from BART. A convenient location with a nice-looking street view and quiet surroundings. The steam heater cannot work :(

Golden Gate Hotel was older but nice blankets and sheets with a ceiling fan in the room. Bathroom had an old fashion flush toilet and clawfoot tub which added to the old style but was very clean with marble countertop. We arrived Sunday night to free parking on the street and paid $16 for street parking by meter starting at 7am Monday morning until checkout 11am. Across the street you can pay parking for $40 but if you entered before 9:30am and left by 7:30am there was a $16 Early Bird special. Very central location 1 block from Union Square and 2 blocks from Chinatown and we walked 25 mins to Lombard St and then another 5 mins to Fisherman's Wharf. Good free breakfast few doors down in a French hotel with Joan of Arc decorations. My son liked the cat!

The breakfast was wonderful and just down the street in their charming French sister restaurant just a little down the block, the staff were polite and courteous, and the bathroom had this large beautiful antique bathtub. 5 stars!

Nothing. It does have small spaces.

Such a cute little spot! Friendly staff but they aren't there 24/7. The rooms are a bit small but they have everything you need. There is such a lovely warmth about this hotel and that is made extra special by Skittles the cat who loves sits in front of the fire in the front room, warming her belly!

I love skittles, she is so cute and sweet! Wish u guys can keep posting her on her Instagram account!! I miss her! The room is clean as well. And the elevator is also interesting. Definitely will be back if I ever come to SF again.

Very good breakfast and very close location from the hotel No too much clean

The hotel was cute but there was an odor to the room. I also didn’t realize that I would be sharing a toilet and shower with the whole floor.

The Golden Gate Hotel boasts a prime location, allowing guests to easily walk to prominent attractions like Macy's, which houses The Cheesecake Factory on its 8th floor, and the Backstage store, famous Chinatown and the hotel situated within a 10 - minute walking radius. This proximity provides ample opportunity to explore the surrounding area. Furthermore, the hotel's close proximity to ZA Pizza, accessible by cable car, adds to its convenience. Although the food served at the sister hotel was acceptable and satisfying The hotel's physical condition falls short of its online representation, appearing somewhat worn and in need of maintenance. Our accommodations were plagued by unpleasant odors, and the shared bathroom facilities proved inconvenient given the occupancy numbers. I experienced personal discomfort and developed skin irritation. There is no is A/C or heater but for February visit its hot in the room an they have electric fan. There’s a telephone that doesnt work too. With the hotel’s pricing, I had anticipated a more comfortable stay; nonetheless, the location seemed to justify the cost. Honestly, I chose to book the hotel primarily due to its location and the nostalgic appeal it holds for living like a local. Ultimately, the hotel's overall experience failed to meet my expectations. In the picture shown is the stairs we climbed up and down every day so they could’ve really clean it a bit.

Staff unavailable when we checked in at 3pm, so couldn't pay the deposit; had to change plans the next day to accommodate their limited hours. Often worried if there would be enough toilet paper for the single toilet on the floor (had gotten to less than one roll; no spares). Only decaf coffee available in the only morning we tried to make coffee.

Nice quiet stay, Old style hotel. The owners are at the Cornell hotel, which is 3-4 buildings away towards Powell Street on the same side - if you arrive hotel late. Breakfast was nice and overall good stay. Area is nice too.

Fantastic stay at Golden Gate Hotel. Since I checked in later (around 8pm-9pm if I remember correctly), I had to pick up the keys from another location down the street, about a 1 minute walk. The place itself felt like a movie, it's an older building but elegant. The room was comfortable, clean, good closet space, solid wifi, just what I needed for one night. My work location was only a 10 minute walk. There's a convenience store across the street, couple bars if that's your thing (I don't drink), safe area. I found free 2 hour street parking a half block away, metering started at 8am. My morning work thing was taking longer so I requested and obtained a later check in - much appreciated! I saw front desk staff in the morning, she was friendly. Great price considering the location. I'd stay here again. Would've preferred for the bathroom to be in the room, it's in the hallway. Not a big deal, there was only one instance where I had to wait for someone else to finish using it.

Different experience

The Golden Gate Hotel has terrific, old-school but well-maintained ambience. The location is great (just 5min from Chinatown, 10min from Union), and the price-point is too. For travelers that want to get away from the cold, modern hotel feel, this is the perfect place. Breakfast is served two doors down, with GGH hosting afternoon tea — both are great options for kicking off your day. Staff is warm and helpful, and of course who can forget the resident cat, who will warm up to you after a night or two. If you arrive after hours, you’ll want to stop by the Cornell (their partner hotel) first. This could have been better communicated.

The Victorian look was very charming and as advertised. Our room fit the requested 3 persons and was clean, but I was surprised it did not have its own bathroom. Your employees very professional and helpful. It was not advertised that it would be a community bathroom. Our room was located in the basement so the pipes would make a banging noise when in use. We had the fortunate incident of being locked out because the lock was broken, short inconvenience before a locksmith was called to fix.

Website said they offered breakfast and they did not have anything when I went to go check.

Great little old hotel. Nice room. Very comfy bed and great location

Small rooms and few services

The room was clean and nicely decorated.

Breakfast had couple of options and everything is fresh.This place is in the heart of the city and every shops and transits are nearby.We can get anything we eant in 5 mins walk

Everything and everyone was great! Friendly staff, clean hotel, vintage San Francisco experience and resident cat Skittles was warm and inviting. We loved it! Recommend A++

A trip back in time! Lovely accomodations and wonderful staff! Less than a block walk to the sister hotel for an amazing breakfast. Great location! Skittles, the cat, is an adorable icon of the estate. The hotel was perfect. Our only issue at all was the significant price gouging by the parking garage across the street.

Heater was old and out of fear of burning the property down we had to keep the curtains open. The TV was inoperable. There was no staff when we arrived we had to go to another property to get keys. No parking and public parking was $60.

The room was clean and decorated adorably. However there’s an old style gas heater near the window that you do not want anything near so in order to stay warm we had to keep the curtain half open and the window faced other windows that are very close. Also the TV was impossible to watch or connect to. Also with no parking and having to pay $60 in public parking makes this property one of never stay at again. We ended up checking out at 8am.

It seemed a bit scary at first but it was a very beautiful place. The cat is so sweet. Didn’t talk to much staff due to us getting in late, but the ones we did were very kind!

Room was clean and super cute! Plus there’s a cat that lives in the hotel and followed me into my room and hung out! Very memorable and positive experience :)

Great location, old San Francisco style room, very clean love skittles ( the cat)

Great boutique hotel

Great location, staff, food.

Excellent

I loved my stay at Golden Gate Hotel! The property staff were very friendly and accommodating, and I loved the charm of the building and the neighborhood. Lots of great food, comedy shows, and live music in the area. Will definitely visit again!

Loved the atmosphere, staff, price, resident kitty

The room is tiny and very old equipped. You may choose this hotel if you like walking distance for shopping.

Central location and charming decor.

Fantastic older/historic property. This is not a property for people with mobility issues. Narrow corridors, step in old cast iron claw foot tub for shower (that I lovvvved) this is a true historic hotel that is like stepping into the past. I loved everything about it. But if your inconvenienced by older styles of design, then leave this one for those of us that appreciate it

The room was adorable, clean, and comfy. The hotel has great history and old pictures are everywhere. It’s like a museum. The elevator was a kick! I felt like I stepped back in time. The staff was friendly and courteous. Petting Skittles was an added bonus. I will definitely be staying there again!

Clean room with free breakfast-Nice!

The hotel has character and I enjoyed the different experience. Skittles, the cat, was the best part of all. I'd recommend the place if you want to have a unique experience vs conventional hotels.

We stayed here for almost a week. The hotel is just lovely and has so much character. Skittles the cat kept us entertained too. The place was super clean and safe.

Only thing I wished was that it was advertised better that the bathroom was communal. For the price we paid, I was assuming the toilet and shower would at least be in the room. Overall, we loved the aesthetic and would consider staying here again if the price was a little more affordable.

Breakfast was top notch

Very quaint and comfortable

Charming small scale abd ambiance

Place was perfect. Very cute and Skittles the Inn cat followed us to our room and slept in the chair all night. Breakfast down the street was also great at the hotel de France

Everything is good

No AC, although didn’t need it with windows open. No hot water in bathroom sink - not plumbed for hot water. Breakfast was at a nearby hotel. Other than that, great location and comfortable. Historic building!

Everything about our stay at the Golden Gate Hotel was exceptional! The staff, the room, Skittles (!) was top notch. The location is also perfect. Thanks!

It was clean, quiet, homey, and convenient! Tell Skittles we said pspspspspspsps!

very small rooms

Lovely historic building with all the comforts.

The hotel is cute and quaint. The room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. The parking situation was not ideal. There’s a lot across the street that charges between $40 and $100 for overnight parking with no set rate or availability for hotel guests. There are no in and out privileges. Very inconvenient.

The bed was not very comfortble. The free breakfast that they advertised was in a hotel down the street. I will not be staying there again.

Love the hotel, location, and extremely charming room looking out the main street. As a cat lover, Skittles was a highlight as well as the coffee shop across the street. Definitely staying back at the Golden Gate Hotel in the future.

Got there had to walk down the street and get the key from another hotel. Then my room didn’t have a restroom had to share it with other people. The people next door were really loud. Beds are very uncomfortable. Does not have EV charging even tho it says on the website. Horrible experience.

Lovely property and great location. The staff was very hospitable, including Skittles the resident cat.

I loved the character of the hotel and was generally pleased the stay. I really wanted to like it more, but it was odd that reception was only manned from 9-5 and the cat had to do the job outside those hours, nice though it was. We had to use the French-styled sister hotel down the road to check in, and the second time when we returned for a Wifi code, we were asked for ID when we had already shown it an hour before. Also, the breakfast was at the sister hotel and, with the best will in the world, it wasn't very good. Also, the hotel would have been fine without a TV as it doesn't really fit with the old world style, but in the event, it had one that only received one channel, and that had no sound. We could have told reception but the cat didn't seem to care.

We liked that they hadnt changed much from the original building, but a number of things were broken or didnt work in the room.

This was a lovely quaint hotel that had a lot of history behind it. It was my first time staying in a shared bathroom situation but it was actually quite painless and lovely! Also their hotel cat is the cutest little helper and she slept with me all nights I stayed ❤️ I would definitely stay here again.

Loved staying there. Was quiet. Free breakfast good but exactly the same offerings for 5 days was a little disappointing. Bacon, eggs, bread (hard), cheese slices, 3 cereals, juices, cheap yogurt, coffee and milk.

Such a cool old building. Loved the antique feel. The cat, Skittles, was the highlight of our stay! We love her!

Pet friendly. Antique elevator. Friendly staff. And location of course.

We enjoyed our stay.

Great staying

Amazing hospitality at the Golden Gate Hotel. The staff is friendly and prompt to help customers. Ares were clean and cozy. Enjoyed the tea and coffee provided and the smooth link with the next door partner hotel for breakfast and after-hours check-in. Overall a lovely experience, including a beautiful car who is the soul of the place. Thank you!

Location is great but the positive just about. ends there, well, the lobby is also nice enough. The rooms are barely big enough for the bed. The breakfast in 'bed and breakfast' is in another hotel, and was lacking. The sharing of a bathroom is a hidden when purchasing. And that's a big issue when others are leaving a messy bathroom—one neighbor had peed on the floor without cleaning up. If you can get a bathroom in your room—check carefully—then it would be been an 'ok' place to stay. At the convention prices paid of over $250++ a night, we won't be back.

We loved our stay here. We knew we wouldnt be spending much time in the hotel, but would want a cozy and comfy place to sleep and it was perfect. The bed was super soft. I do wish I had known that breakfast was actually at the sister hotel a few doors down, so you can't just pop downstairs. Also, the king beds are two twins, but given the tight staircase it makes sense. It was easy to get around the city from here and was the perfect homebase.

The staff was pleasant and responsive to my needs.

My stay was great. The place felt home like and was comforting. The beds are really cozy and help you fall asleep within seconds.

Awesome

Lovely staff, nice breakfast

We have stayed here several times and it is our "go to" place to stay in SF. You can't beat the location, and the nearby restaurants are good.

No iron, no toothpaste, cogy room.

The location is great and it is close to the financial district, union square and still quiet most of the time. The only thing traveller needs to be careful is to make sure not to book the room in the basement where you do not have the private bathroom.

This adorable and quaint hotel is an absolute treasure!! I loved the history and the beautiful decor. The room was cozy and spotless. Even had hot cookies upon arrival.. skip the chains and look for these hidden gems

Loved the house kitty! I was a little disappointed to find out we were in the basement bedroom but thankfully there was a window to the outside. The property had an “old” smell but that is to be expected with older homes. The staff was extremely accommodating & the area was perfect for a downtown experience. Parking was off site across the street so prepared to pay $$$ Overall would stay again for the price!

Quiet, comfy beds, very well-maintained/clean. The breakfast is pretty basic, but it's complimentary. Had a few issues with charges, mostly revolving around their inability to explain some of them, as well as one random extra charge. Heads up, they do charge a nightly amenities fee plus a nightly pet fee. So, if traveling with pets, expect to pay an extra $45/nite. Ultimately, it was this charge that prevented me from extending my stay. Lost track of time on my last day and was an hour late checking out. Front desk guy gave me a harder time than I think he should have. I had been there for 10 days and thought that should have earned me to a little leeway but it was Saturday and they needed to flip the room. So I kind of understand the reason for the harshness, but I I could have used some help with my bags and I just kind of felt like they were kicking me out after showing out about 1300 bucks.

Loved the quant hotel and the cat.

When checking out, I was asked for an extra $20. According to the hotel, this extra fee started on Sep 1st, 2024. Be aware that the real price is not the one listed when you book the hotel!

Unique, beautiful hotel. Great for solo travelling!

Wonderful stay!

I enjoyed my stay at the Golden Gate to the fullest. I claw foot tub, the comfortable beds, and the steps. This place has tons of charm.

Loved the Golden Gate Hotel! You can access pretty much everything in San Francisco from this location, by taking public transportation. This was our homebase for five nights. The only reason for taking one star off was the included breakfast at their sister hotel down the street. The breakfast was very limited and ran out of some items by 8:30 AM which they would not replenish. We only ended up using the breakfast two out of our five mornings, and the included breakfast was one reason I chose this hotel over another. Disappointed in the breakfast, but the hotel itself and staff get five stars!

This was our second time staying at the Golden Gate and we absolutely loved it. The hotel is filled with lovely classic fixtures and very friendly staff (including Skittles the resident cat). The rooms are comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The location is great and close to some fantastic restaurants. Would definitely stay again the next time we’re in SF!

Staff were helpful but very tight hotel. Poor ventilation system, room was hot.

The best part was the attention dispensed by the lovely Skittles =^.^=

Don’t like

Fantastic location. Very cool and unique experience with the antique elevator

Good

Skittles the cat was a real amenity

Pros: The hotel is in a good location if you are willing to walk a bit, and public transport is easily accessible. The area is safe at night. Everything was clean (room, shower, washrooms, etc.), and toiletries were available too. Bed was also quite comfy! Free breakfast was provided every day (a <1 min walk down the street at their sister hotel), and it was quite yummy (basic continental breakfast but it was a good one). They also provide some complimentary cookies and tea/coffee in the afternoon! And the cat. The cat is great (unless you’re allergic to cats, not so great). Cons: Room is small (though this isn’t technically a con because you can see that the room is small when you book it). But, you’re not spending much time in the room anyways, so no big deal at all. There was no AC, and we weren’t able to turn off the heater in the room. However, the nice lady at the front desk immediately brought us up a portable AC unit! So if you’re worried about no AC and the room getting hot, the amazing staff will happily help you with that. Overall, I recommend staying here if you don’t mind longer walks to other areas of the city, and want a more affordable option that is still clean, safe, and comfortable.

We were very happy with the location as it was walking distance to transportation and sightseeing spots, and Skittles was a sweet little extra!

Great spot to stay. Close to the Museum of Modern Arts, you can walk to the fisherman's wharf, there's plenty of public transportation options around. The hotel was good, free breakfast is in another property but it's less than a three minute walk. Overall, extremely satisfied with the experience!

The hotel is cute and quaint. Check in was easy. There was a strong smell of cleaning chemicals when we entered our room We tried to shower before dinner but there was no hot water. The walls are paper thin and our neighbors woke us up having a conversation at 2 in the morning. The next morning we tried to shower and again no hot water. Also, the outlets sparked when we tried to plug in our phone charger. The place was cute but we’d probably stay somewhere else next time. We were happy that it was so close to the Masonic so that was a bonus for us.

However,we enjoying staying. Please do not expect breakfast because only 3 foods same manue. Tea service was 24hours at infront of front desk. She w as cute and friendly a cat. I love interiors. I recommend to someone who love french country interor.

Great stay, amazing staff, loved the area. Would stay here again 10/10

it’s a cozy little place located close to the places we wanted to visit. it is a bit eclectic, but pet friendly.

The staff was most friendly & helpful; breakfast was excellent. I much enjoyed my stay (& concert at the Maconic nearby!)

Great front desk staff!

Carpet has a smell due the pet friendly hotel. Great staff- Maria and team. Nice location,

Skittles puts smiles on faces and greets them. That is a plus. Same with the staff. Lobby and the hallways smelled good all day every day. They even had filtered hot and cold water dispenser. We will be coming back again!

Very quaint and peaceful. I absolutely loved my stay there. It was one of the most peaceful night's sleep I've ever had a hotel. The complimentary breakfast at their sister hotel was definitely a bonus. We were treated as welcomed guests, and with great hospitality. I would love to stay there again.

Convenience.....but no AC

Beautiful historic hotel with hospital staff!

Not having a bathroom would be annoying if I was staying more than one night but I suppose that’s built into the price.

In the room I was disappointed that there were no screens on the windows. So if you open any of the windows it is completely open for anything to get in. That is weird to me. And there was no hand soap. We were only staying two nights so we just used the shower gel. And the breakfast is a couple hotels down. It was ok I was just surprised it wasn’t there. Other than this it was ok.

Beautiful hotel, nice front desk staff, cute cat, decent breakfast. We really liked it!!

Inlike the place but, I did not know that the bathroom is outside our room

cute kitty

Excellent stay. Highly recommend.

gorgeous, quaint, and cozy :)

It is a nice quaint unique hotel and was fun to stay at.

Very bad and dirty. I suggest you don't stay here.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone but especially if you have an eye for unique hotels and if you have pets. To my first point, the hotel is adorned with so many beautiful vintage paintings and furniture. There’s even an antique elevator which was such a joy! Plus, they provided some supplies for my cat which took off a lot of initial stress. Loved staying here!

Great location, friendly & competent staff, attractive small room overlooking Bush Street.

I went off reviews and was not disappointed! The staff was great, the room was adorable, the location was perfect, and the cat and cookies put it over the top! I’ve stayed in a lot of places in this area and this is the one I’ll come back to!

No to bad

rooms are small so need to to be laid out well. large tv screen got in the way. functional features didnt all work well--sink didnt drain well, door handle would spin but not open door, shower controls didnt work well.

This property is very quaint! Loved the look and the feel of the room. The room is small but met our needs and very clean. The staff was very helpful and recommended things to see and places to eat. Highly recommend this hotel.

Very quaint and charming place to stay

It is like an old French pension. Not dirty, but definitely down at the heels. One of the staff people was excellent - attentive when another guest was screaming into the phone in the middle of the night, repeatedly. But the other workers there were not very helpful.

Beautiful hotel, very clean and with very friendly staff. Totally recommended!

It is a beautiful hotel with an authentic charm. I would definitely come back.

Great bijou hotel just off Union Square. Eclectic rooms - ours was a double en suite - with in period furnishings. Great breakfast down at an affiliated hotel 2 minutes away. No parking but if you are prepared to move your car around on Nob Hill it is not an us issue. Friendly helpful staff.

This is a very cute, quaint, historic facility with a lot of charm and great staff. It has its compromises—the floors squeak, the room had a window but no AC, and I am sure I missed a disclosure but it turns out I booked a room with a shared toilet and shower down the hall. For the price, it was great, and for the age and design of the building, the owners have done a great job keeping it up. Everything was clean and well-cared-for in its old world way.

Old building with antique charm, clean and felt safe. Room was small but cozy, and lobby area was clean and offered coffee and tea, as well as water. Also has an adorable cat on site!

Everything functioned perfectly and the free breakfast was a nice perk

Great..if only a complemtary parking can be provided as an option

Excellent value

We enjoyed our time @ The Golden Gate Hotel. The place gives a sweet home feeling. The staff was friendly and Skittles just added to the feeling of home.

Skittles the cat that lives there was the biggest highlight of our stay though lol.

While a quaint place to stay, it could use some updates. We had very little water pressure in our tub. We had no cold water in our sink and the hot tap leaked. The TV also wouldn't work. We paid extra to have a private bathroom, and i dont think it was worth it. We loved the staff and the breakfast at the neighboring hotel. We also enjoyed Skittles! She is a sweetie. The cookies in the afternoon were also great.

Our stay at golden gate was ok. We had a room with a shared bathroom and the room was also ok. The ventilation was terrible and left a weird smell in our room. There was some hairs in the showers when we arrived, and the shared bathroom was dirty. The breakfast was not great; the food tasted almost nothing, they ran out of bread, they had no glasses for juice or water, only cardboard cups. It all tasted like it was bought as the cheapest option at Costco and heated. The bed was super comfy!

Skittles made it feel like a home <3

It doesn’t say in the description of the hotel that they have cats that live inside the hotel. The hotel smells just like cat piss! No toilet in the room! STAY AWAY!

No Restroom in the bedroom

Won’t stay there again.

What a great hotel. We read the reviews so we knew what to expect. My wife fell in love with Skittles the cat. Breakfast was at their sister hotel a few doors down and it was good. If you are looking for a unique experience we highly recommend this place

Very convenient and accessible location. Room was downstairs basement, no AC or fans, window had no screen. If you keep window open all night you might be kept up by busy EMS sirens. Staff provided a fan upon request from their storage area. Communal restroom was generally clean and well maintained. Room did not have a fridge or microwave. Coffee available upstairs.

Excellent! We came back the second leg of our trip and loved it again!

The parking garage was right across the street, and the cable car stopped at the corner right down from the hotel. The breakfast was delicious and the room was clean and had great SF character. We will be back!
