I stayed for 10 days in a room with 2 queen-size beds with a nice view over the bay and GG bridge. The room was nicely decorated and very clean, and the beds were reasonably comfortable. Room service was prompt and friendly. The staff clearly pays attention to detail. Umbrella in the closet, NYTimes on the doormat in the mornings,... more

Nice place for a first stay in San Francisco. Near the Pier 39, the cable cars, the Alcatraz Cruises ... We liked this hotel but when we return to San Franscico, we will choose another one. Very bad Internet Access. Due to the price per night the internet access must be included and this is not the case!!! No WIFI... more

Wow, what a fantastic hotel! We were only here one night, - spent the rest of our San Francisco visit at the Omni to be closer to Union Square. From the check-in, everything was top notch. The lady at check-in was friendly, cheerful and very helpful. Our room was ready at around 1pm when we arrived. Our bags reached our... more

Spent one night at The Argonaut and wish that we could have stayed longer. We even missed the free wine hour but what the heck, the staff was so pleasant and not in a superficial,' I don't mean it' kind of way. Valet was on top of their game and was very helpful with directions or anything we might need.... more

Fantastic hotel, fantastic setting and fantastic city. Loved the Argonaut - very homely and the quirky rooms were so comfortable. We had the best view and the staff were always polite and friendly without being intrusive. Definitely a city and most definitely a hotel we'll come back to again. No complaints at all. Highlight of our trip to US. more

What a stay, great service from start to finish. The staff is beyond compare. When my flight was very late and my limo cancelled because we were too late coming in they contacted the limo company and made sure they were there for me. (Our 25th wedding anniv) They comp'ed us a room service dinner so we could just relax... more

After 5 nights at the Argonaut Hotel I am happy to give this charming hotel a 5 star review. Simply put, the Argonaut has a great location with easy access to public transit, a genuinely friendly, courteous staff and well appointed, spotless rooms. The Fisherman's Wharf location is very touristy and probably not suited for most business travellers, but for... more

We read the reviews on tripadvisor before booking our hotel for a 5 night stay in San Francisco. First the good points. The room was very comfortable, it was a good size and it was immaculately presented. The bed was very comfy. The staff were very friendly and did their best to deal with queries about where to eat, where... more

Most of the reviews here are very accurate; however please beware that per management, there are a number of rooms that are not properly sealed between the rooms. Basically, it is a historical building that was renovated and where the interior walls meet the brick need to be sealed properly. I was one of the unlucky ones. What this means... more

Excellent location on Fishermans Wharf for everything to do with the water and piers and terrific staff. Rooms are all a good size and the hotel is close to tram links over the hill to the city. Nautically themed which we thought was cute and kitch at the same time. We wouldnt recommend the place if city-life, or gay-life was... more
