I have been to San Francisco several times and it is one of my favorite cities, but this was my first visit to the Cornell Hotel de France. I was totally taken with the personable and helpful staff, as well as the charming architecture and decor. One of my companions was a native San Franciscan and has family is in... more

This was my second trip to San Francisco and my main requirements from a hotel were that it was convenient to sights and/or transport, it was clean and it had character. The Cornell certainly fulfilled all these requirements although I am not sure I would stay there again. The location is about as good as they come - a few... more

The Cornell Hotel is a charming, small hotel right in the Union Square area of San Francisco. It was recommended to me by my father who stayed there a few years ago and loved it. My husband and I requested a large Queen room and were given a room facing onto Bush Street on the 3rd floor. It was roomy... more

Unfriendly snooty services by the hotel french woman personnel. Rooms was supposedly large. Largest room was the smallest room we ever stayed in, pretty shabby. Decor covers up old walls of entire hotel. Pretty sure we had bad case of bed bugs and not too mention spooky noisy sounds coming from bathroom window. Never ever again! more

Advantages: Great location within a stone's thrown of Union Square; reasonably quiet; clean; decent breakfast included in the moderate price; cozy atmosphere. Disadvantages:... more

The room was spacious, especially by San Francisco standards. The bed exceeded our expectations and we always slept comfortably. We had visited about 14 years ago when we were dating and I... more

I've been going to this Hotel for many years and we love it. The people (staff) are so nice and helpful. The restaurant is first rate and the beds are comfortable. Many of the rooms have these big claw-footed, old fashioned tubs. The lobby is beautiful with lace curtains and beautiful tapestries. It's walking distance of downtown and Chinatown. It... more

I live in San Francisco, so it takes a lot to impress me but everything at the Cornell Hotel is impressive: from the staff, to the food, to the atmosphere, and most of all, to the lovely rooms. I needed to vacate my apartment while work was being done. I had been to the restaurant many times but never stayed... more
