My Husband and I stayed here in December 2011 when we were visiting his family in San Francisco. It is really an adorable place, with cute all sorts of collections of antiques for decor - teddy bears, china, even matchstick models. The old fashioned elevator was a real treat! The service we received from the staff was great. The maid... More

My wife and I chose White Swan Inn for a long weekend in San Francisco, and enjoyed it immensely. It's a few (steep) blocks from Union Square, with a selection of bars and restaurants, some of them exceptional, nearby. Our clean, comfortable room on the fifth floor was large, bright, and interestingly decorated, with bay window and a gas fireplace.... More

This was a special from Joie de Vivre so I booked it from my husband's birthday. The room was huge, it seemed to have been recently decorated and very, very clean. Even though the bathroom was 'well loved', the bathtub (not a fiberglass tub) was one of the best for relaxing with a book for an hour soak. The bed... More

We just returned from a week stay at the White Swan Inn between Christmas and New Years. We arrived early which was not a problem. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our room was lovely. Very spacious and comfortable. Loved having a real gas fireplace in our room! It was hard for us not to over eat at breakfast... More

My husband and I stayed at the White Swan for five days while he had a meeting in San Francisco in November, and had a delightful stay. Our large bedroom (the king suite) had a cozy gas fireplace to warm us up on chilly nights. There was plenty of space for the rollaway bed we asked for on the couple... More

Room was spacious and comfortable, breakfast was fine (although don't go if you like full breakfasts, cause it's all fruit, cereals, croissants and things like banana bread if you're lucky) Although after waiting in a quene for 25 minutes to check out, we then had to wait a further 45 minutes for the valet man to get our car (we...

My wife and I stayed 3 nights during our 3 weeks in California and I fully endorse all the previous good comments about the White Swan. Great location, lovely room, helpful staff, good breakfast , would definitely recommend and wouldn't stay anywhere else in SF. More

Sadly, we only got to spend one night on a recent swing through San Francisco. Read the review on this site and decided to try it. It was a very nice evening. Within a few blocks of Union Square, easy to get around downtown. After circling the block a few times looking for a parking place, we were finally able... More
