I was travelling with a friend all around california and our last stop was in San Francisco. Grove Inn is a calm, clean and lovely place. If you really wanna feel what is a life near the painted houses, you should stay there. Klaus, the lovely host, is very kind, and such a good cultural live book of culture, amazing... More

My partner and I were referred to the Grove Inn by friends getting married in San Francisco. They live there, and know the lay of the land. We wanted to stay close to the wedding venues, and the Grove Inn fit the bill. It is comfortable, clean, fine location, and we were very warmly received. I was suspicious of the... More

I've been staying at the Grove Inn for 20 years! and simply wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. The touristy parts of downtown San Francisco hold no appeal to me: and what's special about the Grove, is that it is so unlike the characterless hotels where you really have no sense of their being any different from their replicas in...

This is exactly what we are looking for in a B&B. The building is a lovely older one, the room is very nice and comfortable, the proprietor is friendly and interesting, the neighborhood has a lot of good little restaurants, and it's very close to the lovely Alamo Square "painted ladies." More

A colleague and I spent a night in San Francisco visiting friends at the end of a business trip out West. We arrived at the Grove Inn, a historic Victorian, and were met by the owner, who was friendly and helpful as we unloaded. We engaged him in conversation about the city, and he gave us advice on how to... More

I booked a room WELL in advance through Travelocity. Upon arriving at the Grove Inn, the Innkeeper answered the door, took one look at my boyfriend and I (who, might I add are both clean cut 25 year olds), and said he had no rooms and he had "bounced back" all emails from online providers telling them so. I asked... More

It's not particularly central, nor particularly good value, but the Grove Inn is light, airy, and clean. The breakfast exists in name only - you'll get coffee and a bread product. Perhaps some refrigerated fruit. The owner is friendly, but does not live permanently at the Inn. If you are arriving late (after 10) or checking out early (before 7),... More

If you are thinking about staying at the Grove Street Inn, you should first know about the front door issue before you decide to book. The front door to the inn does not use a key; instead, you punch a code into a number pad before turning the door knob. Punching in the code is easy; turning the door knob... More

I agree with the first reviewer on all accounts. For a moderately-priced B&B, this one is a real find. It's not fancy, but the rooms are comfortable, clean and very adequate. Make sure you bring your own shampoo and conditioner, as only soap is provided. It is on a quiet residential street and any point of interest is very easy... More
