For the last night of our honeymoon we chose the Chateau Tivoli for its history but what we most appreciated was the helpful attitude of staff, which made our stay and travel arrangements much easier. Our room was a little small for the size of our luggage and the bathroom fittings (particularly the shower) had some awkward quirks but overall it was a charming place not too far from the waterfront and downtown.

Staying at Chateau Tivoli was like stepping into a beautifully preserved piece of history. This Victorian-era mansion offers a rare blend of elegance, charm, and warmth. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel like honored guests in a private home. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the stately double parlor with wine and cheese, and the breakfast was both delicious and thoughtfully presented. Chateau Tivoli is a must-stay. We can’t wait to return!

This location was absolutely amazing. A true hidden gem to stay in if you visit San Francisco. The area is truly so peaceful. Parking was safe and easy on the streets, we just had to move our car a couple of times per traffic rules. The staff was so kind, Stace was very helpful with suggesting places to visit, the breakfasts everyday were a fantastic way to start off our adventures. This place felt very much like a home. I cannot wait to return one day.

Meaningful Experience

Chateau Tivoli is a uniquely authentic Victorian bed and breakfast experience. If you’re more into elevators, grab and go food, and isolation, not for you. If you’re into architecture, history, community, gourmet breakfast (and convenient location), give it a try. Absolutely delightful, conscientious staff, and unmatched decor, this lodging added a layer of value to our San Francisco experience for which we found worth and we are grateful.

Should be called Chatea de awesome

The food was great, atmosphere divine. Felt like i was in a turretzed castle, transported in to past, with carefully picked pieces accenting each inch of the hotel. Bed was comfortable, wonderful amount of space in the room Staff was amazing and offered us some brie and crackers even after the wine hours were over. Great vibe in this place, we had a wonderful time. Breakfast so so good, would go to just to eat breakfast. Staff was friendly and engaging. Made us feel very comfortable, like it was a (unusual) home away from home.

Fantastic boutique B&B... loads if character and charm in this period building, the staff were great happy to give tips on where to go during our stay and the home made breakfast selection was amazing, if you like charm and dont mind the odd creaky floorboard they have it in spades... would recommend it to anyone. Added bonus of cheese and wine in the parlour in the afternoon for guests to hang out and chat with other guests in the welcoming atmosphere.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this bed-and-breakfast. It truly is a one of a kind world class experience. The level of attention that went into making our stay welcoming and comfortable was unprecedented. We had a delicious breakfast, baked eggs with fresh ingredients sourced locally at the farmers market. I was expecting a continental breakfast but it was far from Sara Lee bagels! They also offered a lovely wine and cheese hour in the afternoons with delicious chocolate chip cookies, homemade! Our room was clean, spacious, comfortable, and beautiful. It was so much more than we expected. The biggest surprise was how well we slept. I assumed the bustle of the San Francisco streets would keep us up, but it was so quiet and peaceful. We absolutely loved this bed-and-breakfast, and plan to come back annually, we loved it that much! It’s comfortable and lovely and a great value. We absolutely recommend!
