my stay here was subpar. staff weren’t overtly friendly or helpful. would’ve been nice to have some help, or at least offer to help, with bags coming in and out of that elevator (heavy door with heavy accordion screen, very difficult with full hands and bags). valet doesn’t assist with bags either. the room itself was okay. there was a functioning wall fan but the ceiling fan wouldn’t work, would’ve been nice to have some extra circulation. biggest complaint is no outlets near the bed or table! i had to pull out the dresser which fortunately had an extender but i had to rearrange the whole room just so i could plug in my laptop and do some work. very inconvenient. only redeeming quality was the location. that said, i wouldn’t stay here again.

Came in for a solo trip. Originally was on the second floor. The room charming, a few things that stood out. One of the windows (smaller one) didn’t lock completely. The bathroom drain was a bit dirty. The second day in my trip, water was dripping from the bathroom ceiling. Front desk was able to switch me very quickly on a busy, busy morning. I was moved to the 5th floor. Same sq footage. But much cleaner, windows locked completely, and there was a fire escape outside. I was able to chill out there for sunsets and sunrise. It was very pleasant. They provide complementary breakfast till 10am and complementary water, coffee, tea, and hot cocoas throughout the day. They kept it fully stocked. There’s an upstairs patio that’s surrounded by fences. They also had a mini gym. Overall great humble staffs. Will go again.

Shower did not work correctly. Sink in bathroom didn’t drain since I pushed down the stopper once and couldn’t get it to open again. Refrigerator made a loud weird noise I had to turn it off. I never had issues like this in the previous times I stayed at Nob Hill Hotel and in fairness, I didn’t inform them of any of these issues because I wasn’t in the room that much while I was there and didn’t want to deal with it. I do think this hotel is a good option for a lower cost alternative even though this visit had issues.

The complementary breakfast though? Tasted completely processed. The breads & the hard boiled egg were chewy like plastic. The orange juice tasted extremely watered down. Hospital food tastes better.

I recently stayed at the Nob Hill Hotel for two nights with my family, and while the location was great — close to the places we wanted to explore — the overall experience was disappointing.

The biggest issue we faced was the power constantly going out in our room. We had to call the front desk each time so staff could reset the breaker. Being in San Francisco, it was cold, and during each outage we were left without heat or lights. This happened multiple times throughout our stay.

It was especially stressful for my two daughters (ages 8 and 10). On one occasion, the power went out while one of them was showering, which frightened her and caused both of them to panic. My other daughter nearly hurt herself running and jumping onto the bed in fear.

Unfortunately, this made our stay uncomfortable and unsettling. I hope the hotel addresses these electrical issues so future guests don’t go through the same experience.

I tried to get valet parking, but the valet took so long to come that I ended up going in parking my car myself. The parking garage was two blocks away, which was not too bad except that they told me Parking would be $25 if I paid myself but turns out that Parking was actually $45 since I left the car overnigh. Check-in was relatively easy and that was just about the only good thing about this stay. The Room was HOT. And it was not a hot day. I turned on the fan and then was not able to turn off the fan light so I could have it on at night. There was a small AC in the room, but it did not work and since I couldn’t have the fan on without having the light on, it was so hot and stuffy. The sink in the bathroom was so small. It felt like it was a birdbath more than a sink. When I washed my face the water went all over the floor when I took a shower. It felt like the bathtub floor was going to cave in the carpet was disgusting and the bed was very uncomfortable. needless to say, I will not be coming back and staying here again.

The hotel was really cute, quaint and clean. For the cost of a nights stay it was worth it. The hotel staff were kind as well. They offer free breakfast in the morning. The restaurant attached to the hotel was so good.

The downside was our room had not accessible outlets. The only exposed outlet to charge our phone was in the bathroom. There was a wireless charger in the room connected to the clock, but even then it was sufficient to charge our phones.

Please do your research when it comes to parking. I failed on my part by not doing it (which silly me, it’s San Francisco). The hotel offers valet services, but it was so expensive and the cost varied based on your car being an SUV or a sedan. In addition, valet services end at 10PM. We were driving around trying to find parking and it was not a good time. I hope this helps for those looking to stay in SF.

We stayed in room 101, was very very cold and the bathroom wasn’t great, also a little noisy with staff coming and going and residents above. Walking to the room felt like a back staff room and not a guest area.

Breakfast was nice and lots of variety but was really let down by paper plates and cutlery.

The room was overall clean, and the staff were friendly. My only complaint is that there’s no air conditioning, but the windows open and allow in a nice fresh breeze. Additionally, the rooms come equipped with a refrigerator, which is a plus. Lastly, parking costs $68 per night, so be mindful of that additional expense. However, this is fairly typical for San Francisco, where parking is limited throughout the city.

This hotel proved to be an incredibly uncomfortable and unhappy place to stay. The provided breakfast was only cereal, fruit, and pastries. The advertised restaurant connected to the hotel was basic and overpriced. The valet parking was inconvenient--we had to regularly leave the car in the middle of a busy street because the curb parking was full. The old-fashioned elevator required us to pull open a door and slide the metal door to get in, which made transporting luggage very difficult. The sink in our room collapsed while we were using it, likely from a combination of its age and the water that would drip from every wall when the shower was on. Despite the sink falling clean off the wall from faulty installation or overlooked signs of age, the hotel took our deposit. The shower took some time to heat up and the knob for adjusting the temperature (in both rooms) was loose and fell to the extremely hot or cool side with the smallest tap. Overall, the price was appealing and the hotel's architecture was charming, but we would not stay here again. It ended up being a stressful, uncomfortable stay.

Location is great, lovely property and accommodation. Just a couple notes: The property dates to 1906 and as such, there is only one elevator and it is old fashioned (where you have to open a door and then slide the grate, etc), I mention it because it can be awkward to operate if you have lots of luggage like we did (we were on a lengthy road trip), and while stairs were also available, they were narrow and winding and would have been even more difficult.
Additionally, while parking is advertised, be aware that not only is it valet and not onsite (but I had no safety concerns regardless), there was a time limit imposed as well. We could not drop our car off later than 10pm (which was not an issue), however we were told we could not claim our car until 8am. Fine for many to be sure, but our travel plans required us to be checked out and on the road before then. So we ended up having to pay for a different parking garage nearby in order to have access to our vehicle at our convenience. Which was fine, same price, just about 3 blocks away; however not everyone might be comfortable with that set up, and I wanted to bring awareness as I don’t recall reading anywhere that the parking offered by this hotel had time limits. So just FYI.
If you have no parking constraint dilemma, this place is pretty fantastic and I do recommend.

Horrible Nob Hill hotel

Restaurant was permanently closed due to renovation. This was not advertised on their website. Breakfast was poor. Coffee was horrible. Air conditioner didn't work. Ceiling fan was extremely loud, squeaky and high pitched. Room had no sound insulation. The room next to us that shared a connecting door had a gap on the bottom so we could hear everyone and everything happening on the next room including trips to the bathroom, tv, cell phones, talking etc..
The one broken down luggage cart did not fit in the very ancient elevator. The ancient elevator took upwards of 10 to 15 minutes to arrive when called. The shower was moldy. There wasn't any type of shelf for toiletries. The led light used to light the hed head bord was broken and flashed like a crazy strobe light.
Vallet setvice was very inconsistent. There was no plan on place to deal with street access when outside work was being done. We had to wait 30 minutes for our car when checking out. At which point they asked if we could walk a block up hill over to the garage that housed our car. We had numerous bags so i saud absolutely not. I mean what were we paying vallet service for if no one actually brought us our car. They eventually figured out how to get our car within 15 feet of the hotel. The front desk attendant did help us with loading our bags.

All in all a horrible place to stay. I was extremely disappointed because their advertisement and reviews seemed positive. I will never stay there again.

Room service for this hotel is to clean your room not provide food service. Room was freezing and option was to bring a portable heater. Unless you are looking for a bed only to sleep, don’t recommend for a mini vacay or work travel. I still paid for the night

I reserved one of the penthouse room because I saw that it had outdoor space, but when I got there it was not private outdoor space. I was told I had a fridge with a small freezer but it did not have a freezer. I saw there was a whirlpool in the room and I brought some bath items and the whirlpool didn’t work. It seems one thing after another I was disappointed about. Maybe next time it will be better.

Our experience was okay. I had booked a double twin bed room in advance, but when we arrived, we were informed that the hotel was fully booked and there were no available rooms during the time. As a result, they sent us to another hotel to accommodate during the time to wait for our room to be available, which was inconvenient given that we had luggage to carry and were exhausted from our planned commute. I wish I knew in advance we wouldn’t experience that.

I recently spent a night in San Francisco and found the Nob Hill Hotel.
Location: The hotel is two streets down from California St. So from the hotel, you can walk north along Hyde st and discover some beautiful bars and eateries at the top of the hill.
South, do not go south. You may look down the hill and think its a good idea, but its Tenderloin.
Staff: Very nice and friendly. Quick to help and return your room deposit
Free Breakfast: Its toasted bread with spreads and fruit. There is oatmeal but no warm milk. HELLO???
Amenities: Very nice, gym is very basic
Room: Room is nice, view is so so. Shower is nice and they actually have a robe.
Privacy: Well, this is not like being in a hotel. Its more like being at a home again and sharing a room with my sibling. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't actually have someone in my room, but the connecting door left all the bodily sounds come into my room. Along with the smells of what they had for dinner and after dinner.
I'm happy they my \"Brother\" went to sleep at 1am with TV on and wasn't partying all night. So if you like survival shows, then this could be your jam. LOL
