Great older style hotel. The room was very homey and comfortable with a fireplace. Good breakfast and excellent staff. Nice wine and cheese in the afternoon. Excellent location near restaurants, Union Sq and the BART /Muni. Curtis gave great service at check-in and recommended very good restaurants. We will surely return on our next visit to SF.

Our stay at White Swan Inn was wonderful. The staff were incredibly warm, kind, and full of helpful local recommendations, making us feel genuinely welcomed. The location is excellent — an easy walk to Chinatown and great Italian restaurants in North Beach. Breakfast was fresh and satisfying, and we loved the cozy, living-room-style space next to the breakfast area. It felt inviting and comfortable, like staying in a charming home. We would happily stay here again.

The hotel was clean and the location was great. The staff were extremely helpful and the breakfast/afternoon snacks were delightful. Only complaint was the street noise, two out of my three night stay I was kept awake by truck emptying recycling which seem to go on for over an hour. I understand that it’s an older building and an urban location. I would still stay here again.
