Top Kimball Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"All was fantastic only missing thing is the coffee and tissues."

Stanyan Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, highly recommend upgrading to the 2 bedroom with 3+ people!"

The Metro Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great restaurant Esme right next door. Rooms are clean but can be stuffy on warm days"

My Rosegarden Guest Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"A private home in the Richmond District, just a stone's throw from the Presidio's southern border. Lovingly maintained. This is a nice place to stay if you're OK with being a bit off the SF tourist track. A sumptuous breakfast every day at 8:00 AM. Loved the fog and the foghorns! You're that close to the ocean and the Golden Gate."

Pacific Heights Victorian Garden Studio

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 Excellent — An absolute SF gem! This place is a peaceful, impeccably clean, and private retreat in one of San Francisco's best neighborhoods. Just a short walk to the Presidio with incredible eateries and shops nearby. Springer was a fantastic and responsive host. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the city—we can’t wait to come back!"

Twin Peaks Hotel

8/10 Good

"This place rules! Excellent location and very reasonable price. The one thing keeping me from rating this 5 stars was the wifi. It was practically unusable for work, but even less powerful tasks like checking the weather or email were difficult because the wifi was so bad. Everything else was great and would still recommend, if you work remotely I suggest going to a coffee shop or co-working space."

The Hotel Castro San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"What a cute little place! I appreciate how well it was decorated. It fit very well in the neighborhood. The room was incredibly clean and I was pleasantly surprised by the efficient small room features like the fridge drawer, garment and hanger cabinet and gorgeous little patio. The hair dryer was the best hair dryer I've used in a hotel in my entire adult life. That alone gets you five stars. The shower and bath were magnificent and definitely something I'll remember when I remodel my bathroom. The lighting, showerhead, towels, all amazing! It's also perfectly situated in the neighborhood for a show at the theater. I highly recommend stopping by the historic Twin Peaks gay bar down the street. It's a neighborhood bar, cash only, but the bartenders and customers are the sweetest people on earth."

Pacific Heights Victorian Bedroom & Bathroom

10/10 Excellent

"Great. Beautiful property. Nice neighborhood. Attentive property manager."

Absolutely Private President's Suite, Computer, Wi-Fi, Laundry, Pub. Parking
