Ideal location, sweet and comfortable room. Some reviews criticized staff but we found everyone to be pleasant. We completely enjoyed our petite suite - having the extra space with a teeneager was great. We will be back to stay in the Andrews!!
Breakfast is really good, every room has get sunshine in.
We have stayed at this hotel many times, very friendly staff, very clean rooms. Some of the bathrooms are small by today's standards. The ride up and down the original scissored-door elevator is the icing on the cake. Just a few blocks walk to Union Square. This is old San Francisco at its most quaint!
Nice location, cheap, small room, poor breakfast, .......................
Nice stay close to Union Square, friendly staff...
Staff were very helpful from arrival when they checked us in early. Room had everything, just a bit dingy. Very comfortable. We loved thrcbreakfast buffet - fresh fruit, pastries and of course coffee. Lobby is quaint, nice place to enjoy the. complimentary glass of wine. The location is excellent, we walked everywhere.
Very friendly and helpful staff, convenient location: close to everything. Small room and even smaller bathroom with a glass shelve above the sink that rather dangerous than convenient. Breakfast OK: some fruits and some pastries. Hotel offers only one free drink at the restaurant downstairs for free from 5 to 6 Pm daily, but it's not worth of getting back to the hotel for that drink. Restaurant that located in the same building is so busy that guests can't seat in the lobby, since it's always packed with people waiting for their reservation at restaurant. Also the smell of the food goes up to the 6th floors of the hotel. It's noisy outside of the hotel, especially on weekend's nights and mornings, when garbage collected. On overall, it was OK place to stay in SF, but probably will look for another place if I'll be coming to SF again.
The room was a bit small, but suitable. The breakfast was simple but elegant. The location was really good for walking.
The property is over 100 years old and retains some original details and considerable charm. Staff is courteous and professional, and the facility is clean and maintained but not recently renovated. Space is tight, elevator is quite small, and bathrooms are very small by today's standards. The high quality of the coffee, juice, pastries and fruit in the self-service breakfast was a strong positive!
Good location, wifi spotty, lost water one morning, good breakfast, but very noisy at night, bring ear plugs. Bathroom very tiny.
hotel is old but in good condition, room was kind of small but expected since older hotel, staff friendly and professional
Front desk clerk was so nice and helpful. Provided valuable information for sightseeing.
Nice stay. Tiny room. Very pleasant staff. Nice to have Continental breakfast on each floor. Limited menu but easy way to start the morning.
Exceptionally personable and helpful staff from the maintenance and cleaning crew to the front desk staff.
Hotel takes you back to the early days of San Francisco, but in a great way! Yes hotel rooms are on the small side, but what they lack in size they gain in character! If you want size go stay in the boxy, chain, cookie cutter sterile chain hotels. I enjoy the older boutique style hotels such as the Andrews. The Andrews has an original early 1900's style working elevator, who could as for more character! The rooms are clean, the bed is comfortable, the staff was friendly, helpful and they provide a glass of wine in the evening, breakfast on each floor in the morning and coffee/tea 24/7! What chain hotel would do this? If you haven't ventured into the world of local boutique hotels try one, and why not start with the Andrews?
We stayed one night is SF and wanted an "Old World" style hotel. This was indeed a charming old hotel, but it did lack modern amenities like air conditioning. The staff was wonderful and the beds very comfortable. However, the bathroom was so small it was dysfunctional. The location is great and overall we enjoyed our stay.
Comfortable beds, unique rooms with high ceilings, marble-lined lobby, friendly staff, awesome Italian restaurant
Centrally located near Union Square The restrooms are very small
As a 20-something traveling solo for a conference, this hotel worked perfectly for what I needed. The place has a lot of character; the elevator is an original from 1906, sliding mesh door and all, albeit with some modifications for modern safety standards. The room itself was perfectly nice and clean, including the bathroom, but the hotel is very old and it looks it. That didn't bother me, but if you're looking for a magazine-perfect room, look elsewhere. Location was decent, the street it's on isn't a major thoroughfare but it's also not some tiny alley. I never felt unsafe going to and from my hotel, but a few blocks south is a little more questionable. PROS: - Lots of character, much more fun to stay at than your standard Marriott or Hilton - Room had plenty of space, including walk-in closet - Continental breakfast on each floor, not just the lobby, so I could walk down the hall in my pajamas pre-shower, grab a muffin and coffee, and walk back without having to interact with anybody - Staff were very helpful - Complimentary glass of wine at the Italian restaurant downstairs CONS: - Very old building, last renovation was the 70s so the windows, bathroom tile, etc look a little worn - Sink was awkwardly positioned in the bathoom, had to bend sideways a bit to brush my teeth - No fan in bathroom, only window opened to a dark chasm between buildings and I could have easily dropped something valuable down there to never see again - Location is just OK - Lot of street noise
An older hotel which shows its antiqueness within including lobby, elevator to the room. It is located conveniently to Union Square, Chinatown and city transportation (BART, railcars, etc.).
