San Remo Hotel Guidebook Reviews
Fodor’s
San Francisco 2006


“A few blocks from Fisherman's Wharf,
this three-story 1906 Italianate Victorian was
once home to longshoremen and Beat poets…Rooms
are small but charming, with lace curtains, forest-green-painted
wood floors, brass beds, and other antique furnishings… rooms
share scrupulously clean black-and-white-tile
shower and toilet facilities with pull-chain
toilets.”

“One of
the best deals in SF, the San Remo is family-owned
and very charming. Built immediately after the
1906 quake, it has
been refurbished with individually
decorated rooms ..."

San Francisco 2005
“This small, European-style pensione
is one of the best budget hotels in San Francisco.
In a quiet North Beach neighborhood, within walking
distance of Fisherman’s Wharf… If
the penthouse is available, book it: You won’t
find a more romantic place to stay in San Francisco
for so little money. It has its own bathroom, TV,
fridge, and patio.”

Insight
City Guide San Francisco 2005 “Built
in 1906, this North Beach hotel served as a boardinghouse
for sailors, poets and pensioners, and was a
speakeasy during Prohibition. Today it's a bargain,
with immaculate, well-situated rooms without
telephones or TV. Some rooms share showers. The
rooftop penthouse is a real treat.”
