Great cozy little bnb at a reasonable price in a great area.

Such a clean and charming bed and breakfast with so much character. The shared spaces are welcoming. The breakfast was fantastic each and every day! The staff is exceptionally helpful and kind.
The neighborhood is safe with a lot of food options and corner stores nearby.
If you drive here, parking is challenging but not impossible
I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Tessa
The absolute best bed & breakfast in San Francisco! Cleanest rooms, friendliest and most attentive staff, great location, most delicious breakfasts and snacks/baked goodies throughout the day. Our son graduated from USF this past Saturday and we’ve consistently stayed here. On our next trip to S.F., just to visit and explore more we’ll stay there again!
edward
The room we stayed in was rather small but the bathroom was nicely finished. We needed more choices for breakfast.

Pleasant experience with no hiccups. Only concern would be the mattress felt incredibly worn out with deep pockets in either side.
Glenn
Unique Victorian Vibe
Georg

Eva
Cozy spot with wonderful staff. The traditional decor feels like you are in your grandmother’s house. Bathrooms are very modern with nice amenities. Continental and hot breakfast options available. There are abundant fresh baked cookies, chocolates, and other snacks available all day.
Roberto
There should be a set of instructions for connecting with the TV. Some of us are not very tech savvy.
Emille
The room was clean and the staff is courteous.
It’s an old house and you can hear people talking and walking in your room from floor above. The decor is beautiful.Breakfast is very good and the homemade cookies are the best ever!

Super comfortable and clean room! The breakfast was delicious (highly recommend the tofu scramble). The walls a thin and for the light sleepers out there, you may hear your neighbors but otherwise excellent stay.

I found my new favorite place to stay in SF.
Angela
A wonderful gem tucked into a vibrant community. We stayed for a night to enjoy the city after work. We had a terrific pizza with an eggplant appetizer at a place 6 blocks away. The snacks in the dining room were a delightful treat. We enjoyed reading in the study. The bed was very comfortable. This place is a must stay again.
John
Breakfast was great. Staff were wonderful.
George
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted and treated as family. Made-to-order breakfasts were delicious. Treats were available in the dining room 24/7 and were wonderful. We were disappointed that there was no brewed decaf available. On our third morning, the manager brought in a coffee maker to provide us with brewed decaf coffee. Our room was small, but well-appointed. We did have issues with the temperature. With no air conditioning, the room got quite stuffy. Opening the window helped, but since we were on the ground floor, we didn't feel comfortable leaving the window open as we slept with all the traffic right outside. All in all, it was an enjoyable stay, but over $1200 for four nights still feels excessive.
Deborah A.
comfortable and well maintained property.
Paul
Breakfast and snacks were impressive.
The place is decorated beautifully in British early XX century style.

ELISE
Loved the quiet, very homey feel of this property. The breakfast was always impeccably prepared. Check in was flawless and truly very welcoming with Jack opening the door as we got out of our Uber. While the rooms were kept to take the guests back in time, everything is updated in the bathrooms including Toto Japanese style bidet. Had a wonderful time.
Wendy
Love the vintage decor and style of the historic building. The made-to-order breakfast was phenomenal and tasty! They always had tea, coffee, and great snack options available at all hours. Not too many things to do in a walkable distance but we found it easy to walk to the Target nearby and a neighborhood bar.
Kim
Beautiful decor, good location, quiet, friendly and attentive staff, excellent food. Will stay again.
Kimberly
What a charming place to stay. Old charm and modern features. Fresh made breakfast every day and lot of snacks set up in the common area. Walking distance from several locations. Will definitely return.
Adam
Friendly service, comfortable room, delicious snacks all day and they made it as convenient as possible. Parking isn't the best, but I made due.
Joyce
I found a gem!
I loved everything about this B&B! The. decor is tasteful, service is attentive and mannerly, it’s quiet, there are good snacks available at all hours and the location is excellent. I’ll stay there whenever I come to visit my family. So glad I gave it a try.

Julia
Cute quaint place with old charm. Some of the random technology throughout the room, I did find odd like the Alexa home that has a camera on the nightstand, the motion detector sensor on the wall, the keyless pinpad lock for the door, and the mirror in the bathroom with the digital camera displayed, it just didn’t feel like it fit in with the rest of the place and seems a little weird to me. Not necessarily bad though. I was told when I checked in that I could request breakfast to my door as early as 7, even though the paper said 7:30. I got it around 7:20 which was disappointing because I was in a rush for work.
Carol
Loved this Hotel. Nice location near Target and Bus1. Cute decor. Maid service daily. Breakfast made up per your menu selections. Filtered water (hot,cold) available. Very nice staff. Only one downside, it is across the street from the fire station so you can hear the sirens if they are called in the night. One night- two times, another night- one time, next three nights -none.
Miriam

Taoni
The Monte Cristo Bed & Breakfast is a gem!! It reminded me so much of my European travels. The building is unique and pleasing. Jack is very helpful and kind. The property is within walking distance of many food venues. We were able to park, easily, near the Monte. Make sure you pay attention to street parking signs. Fabulous sweet treats are put out for your enjoyment, including chocolate, cookies & tea. Don’t miss the hot, made to order breakfast. I will definitely stay at the Monte again in the future.
Debra

Verified traveler
A lovely place to stay.
Chris
The room and in particular the bathroom were great, being just above street level there wasn’t much in the way of a view and vehicles driving by in the night was a bit of a thing. Otherwise it was very well maintained and comfortable. I think if I visited again I would opt for an upper level room
Bethany
Quaint Victorian style bed and breakfast. We loved the fresh breakfast everyday and baked goods available in the dining area. Very quiet. Room and bed were very comfortable. Shower and bathroom were spacious and had a bidet which was amazing! Love a warm toilet seat! Free parking up the block. We were able to walk several places however, we had a rental as well to get us around for site seeing. Lovely city. We will be back!
Janet
This was our second time staying here. All employees are so nice and helpful! Rooms are unique and clean. Bathrooms are modern and toiletries provided. The breakfast is delicious; you can order the day before and indicate time. Lots of choices! Snacks and drinks are available all day. They include fresh baked cookies, trail mix, nuts, water, coffee, tea and more. I highly recommend.

By far one of the best I have ever stayed at. Old world charm with very nicely updated rooms, etc. Breakfast was perfect. The dinning area was loaded full of fruit, snacks, etc. Internet was very fast. Great streaming options on the TV. I only wish there was a small desk in my room. No matter, this is now my preference for SF!
Mark
Older building, but has lots of charm. Excellent service, including full cooked breakfast. Easy street parking.

We felt right at home here. Everyone was warm and welcoming, the rooms were very nice, and the complimentary breakfast was delicious. We also very much appreciated the bidet in our room. Who doesn’t like a warm toilet seat with cleaning and drying abilities?

Very nostalgic bed and breakfast. You feel like you’re staying in an inn from the distant past with modern amenities. Very comfortable.

The Motne Christo Bed and Breakfast never fails it’s always a good nights stay there, friendly staff and just above and beyond.
Araceli
Even though the room was the tiny room it was cute but the bed was on the hard side so it made it a lil hard to get a good night sleep, other than that I recommend this bed and breakfast, I’ve stayed in other rooms.

Our first night at the Monte Cristo was just awful: we were in an upstairs, back-side room on a warm evening. No ventilation to speak of, and no AC, meant that at 11pm, when it had cooled to 75-degrees outside, our room was 82-degrees. It finally dropped below 76-degrees around 4am.
The second night was like night and day: we were moved to a street-side room, airy and well-ventilated, and spent a terrific day and evening there.
The breakfast and staff were lovely throughout the visit. I’d recommend the Monte Cristo to anyone wanting to stay in the Richmond District, with the proviso that on a warm night, you ensure a cooler room.

Jack at check-in was very friendly and accommodating. Good and service for breakfast was great. Would definitely stay here on our next trip to see family.
PAUL
A very quaint boutique hotel, I just loved staying here. I was alone for one night and the queen room was just enough. The dark wood turn of the previous century aesthetic and creeky floors gave it a warm comfy feel to it. Thanks, Paul
Hallie
We enjoyed our stay at the Monte Cristo. It was very clean and the proprietor was very nice. The only thing I would say is that it was dark due to the decoration. I love vintage, but this was wearing around the edges.

Patricia
Easy walk to Golden Gate Park. Very surprised how nice and quiet the neighborhood was. Enjoyed the breakfast variety of fresh ingredients, great beginning of the day. Snack and fudge to die for in the afternoon and evening. A block away from a hip lounge to have a drink and begin your evening. Well be returning !

Great little spot in Pac Heights!
Everything was lovely. There was some maintenance going on while we were there, but it didn't interfere with our stay. Hosts were unobtrusive, and breakfast was lovely.
The location was convenient for the things we came to do, and while parking was on-street, we didn't have any trouble finding a spot.

My stay at the Monte Cristo Bed and Breakfast was very nice. The staff was great and super accommodating. It isn't in central downtown San Francisco but public transportation was super close and easy to use to get to the places we wanted to go. The big negative was parking. There is street parking but the car has to be moved according to the street cleaning schedule. The hotel does say that there is a lot close by that could be parked at for a fee but when we drove by it almost looked abandoned and there were very few cars parked there so it didn't seem safe to park. The only other comment my group had was that the breakfast didn't include any type of pastry or sweet item like cinnamon rolls, donuts, muffins...something sweet. This didn't bother me since I'm not a sweet for breakfast person but it was a comment my group made. Everything else was great!

Monte Cristo was extremely accommodating when my co-worker fell ill and ended up needing to stay an extra couple days to recover.

This updated very old building is very comfortable, quiet and private. Rooms are small, but everything is modern - notably plumbing and wiring. There has been a real effort made to retain the prior feel with wallpaper, furniture, carpets, pictures on the wall. Staff is very friendly and helpful, and breakfasts were excellent!

Quaint and comfortable setting in the Laurel Heights neighborhood near UCSF, USF and the Presidio. Staff were all friendly and efficient. Breakfast and homemade snacks were all delicious. We will stay there again

The property itself was charming and warm as was the staff. The continental breakfast was excellent and plentiful as was the availability of snacks throughout the day. The rooms were tastefully decorated and the private bathrooms had the most up to date amenities. I will definitely return to this establishment!
Tessa
