Our family of 6 had a lovely stay at the Beresford Arms! Our room was very spacious, just what we needed for 3 adults & 3 kids. The bathroom was large, beds comfortable & kitchen was super handy. Staff were friendly & very helpful when organising activities. Housekeeping always kept up a lovely supply of clean fresh towels & bins were emptied daily. Wine & cheese hour was super delightful. Yes its an old building, but we very much enjoyed our stay here & would stay again.Thankyou

The hotel is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with friendly and professional staff. It also offers excellent value for the price. As it’s located in the heart of San Francisco, the surroundings can be a bit noisy and busy, which is part of the city’s vibrant atmosphere. That said, upgraded windows could make the rooms even more comfortable by reducing outside noise. Overall, a great stay for those who want good service and value in a central location.

A good stay. Would come again!

The room was clean and spacious for my family (2 adults and 2 kids). There was also an equipped kitchen. The front desk staffs were polite and helpful. A big thanks to Sophia who found my lost camera and contacted her manager to return it to me.

I stayed in a single room and a double room. They were completely different! The single room was in much worse condition (peeling paint, old carpet, musty smell, and window on construction site), but the double room was lovely (spacious, a big bay window, updated washroom). Breakfast was underwhelming, location was good/central, but on the edge of a less-desirable area.

Good hotel bad parking

It is obvious that the hotel location is not great but the hotel room was spacious, it has great shower and other amenities. Staff are friendly and efficient. My only complaint is the parking situation: the hotel warned us that it takes 45 to receive our car. It took an hour and 20 minutes! The hotel receptionist called the company 3 times to bring it but it took too long.

We had a wonderful stay as a family of 4 at the hotel. The room was very generously-sized and the historic building quite lovely. We could have used another mug in the kitchen but other than that we had what we needed. There was street noise and it was a bit stuffy because there is no AC but those were small issues that didn’t disrupt our good time. The continental breakfast was useful to have food at hand and reduce costs. Very centrally located and we never felt unsafe. Similar to Seattle in that regard. All in all, a very affordable hotel that more than delivers on its promises.

There was no heat for our room, then when the staff turned it on it took an hour to heat, then they turned it off during the night. No phone, one of the handles on the sink didn't work and only one of the tv's received channels.

An old gem which lacks better service

Rented 2 junior suites. Rooms and Bathrooms were neat and well maintained. Central location. But they had poor heating options. To save cost they just turned on centralised heating for 1-2 hours and we had to constantly remind them. They can easily buy few room heaters and avoid turning on centralised heating and still satisfy customer needs. Morning complimentary breakfast was just bunch of muffins and Croissant s. They did not even offer bread or eggs. These are simple things which they can do to attract more visitors. The hotel architecture and setup was nice but all those are overshadowed by lack of these facilities.
