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.

8/10 Very good

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is older and a bit worn overall, but clean. I booked this hotel because it was very highly rated. I would not agree. It is below the standard I would expect of a highly rated hotel. It’s certainly not bad. The breakfast options were limited and the quality was average. The afternoon wine and cheese was a nice touch.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was incredibly kind and attentive. They helped me navigate the city as a solo traveler. The building can only be accessed by keycard/buzzing in which made me feel extra safe. The location is great - walkable to Chinatown and North Beach. There is no AC so the room felt a little stale at times, but they provided fans and the city itself is cool, so an open window was great. The breakfast is basic but the coffee was surprisingly tasty. I definitely enjoyed my stay and would come back again. It was a little pricey, but very charming.
