Stately boutique hotel near Union Square
Considering its name and the British flag flying out front, it's no surprise that the King George Hotel near San Francisco's Union Square district has a decidedly European flair. Decorative touches are subtle but continue this theme: chess boards in every room, coats of arms, and more. All guests receive complimentary Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet access. The on-site restaurant, Winston's Bar and Lounge, even serves imported beer.King George Hotel Rooms

King George Hotel San Francisco
Good location, several good restaurants nearby, helpful staff, clean rooms, and two minutes to the BART station that is a straight shot to the airport. Streets to the west are sketchy, but all in all a good hotel in a good location.

The staff were very helpful and polite
This hotel was real cute. We enjoyed the staff they were all very pleasant and helpful. Check-in was easy as was checkout. There were eating places right on the same street.Shopping around every corner, easy to hop on and off the cable cars. This hotel is also very clean. The only thing we didn't care for were the pillows, they were not soft enough.Overall we would stay there again...

Great location
It was the perfect location for my first trip to San Francisco, easy walking distance to everything, and the restaurant next door became my favorite for breakfast. (Dining options rate a 5 because of hotel's proximity to many great restaurants.) The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. Although my room was at the back of the hotel, street noise did wake me during the night so I had to close the window. But I would recommend the hotel to anyone. I gave it only four stars because I couldn't give it four-and-a-half, and there's always room for improvement, right?

King George Hotel
Staff was very quick to respond to our problems with the door problem to Rm. 301. Location was great, able to do most of the activities that we had planned. Except for the noise outside our window (hotel cannot control this problem) our trip was great.

nice stay at a small, european-style hot
This place was great, and the staff especially were nice and helpful. It is San Francisco where real estate is costly, so don't expect huge rooms; mine was small, but still very comfortable (you might ask to Not have a corner room, as those did look smaller).

King George
We spent three nights in King George while visiting San Francisco. We found the area of the town around the hotel to be noisy at night, and close to some not-so-safe areas of town. However, we slept through the noise, and with a city map and our travel book we did not "stumble into" any bad neighborhoods near the hotel. The hotel itself is in a touristy few blocks of town, which lack some S.F. authenticity but are very safe. The hotel's location is farther from Fisherman's Wharf and Alcatraz, etc., than other, higher priced hotels, but if you like to walk, it is about 30 minutes and you receive a rich walking tour of the north side of town with amazing views (if you don't mind hills). Additionally, we were actually closer than the expensive wharf "tourist" hotels to many other interesting parts of town, including the museum area, Union Square, Haight-Ashbury, Alamo Square, and Golden Gate Park. There are lots of art galleries and very high end shopping two blocks away in Union Square. Chinatown is about a ten minute walk north. The hotel is simple but clean inside. The decor in the room and lobby is old fashioned and charming. The hotel is not fancy but it was neat, comfortable, safe and quiet (noise from outside notwithstanding). There is a charge to use the internet on their computers. There is cable car and city transport access nearby. The staff and conceierge is helpful for arranging transport and other things. There is a bar with a happy hour. Overall, we liked the hotel for all the reasons above. There were some drawbacks, but for the price, we were very happy and would stay there again in the future. It would be considered a 3/5 star hotel based on its luxury, amenities, etc., but we gave it 4 stars for the reasons above. It might not be the best hotel or area if you have young children along, however. We would recommend it to younger trsvellers, or any age travelers who might enjoy a S.F. experience that is a mix of tourist atractions and some more authentic, eclectic aspects of town.
