Hotel Majestic - San Franciskas

First impressions from the outside are positive. It looks fairly clean and impressive, and when you enter the lobby area there is nothing to detract from this view. However, there is a weird, dated feel to the hotel which is probably accentuated by the lift which is incredibly slow and, well, strange (especially having just been on the Hollywood Hotel ride in Disney!). Exiting the lift the corridors again have a dated feel about them. The rooms are perfectly clean and comfortable and that is the real test afterall. For the price, and I'm comparing the hotel to similar prices in other cities visited in the US an average 3 is warranted. Things to note: $25 per night to park your car so be warned - but this is not unusual or that expensive for SF and, The hotel is also a good mile from anywhere of any note, although the transport links (if you use them, I walked) are pretty good into the centre for connections.

We needed a hotel close to the Fillmore and this was in walking distance of that. This is an older hotel, so the room was smaller but very nicely decorated. Small TV, but we weren't going to San Francisco to watch TV. I would stay there again if going to that area of town, nice neighborhood.

I like the Hotel Majestic. I have stayed there several times. Its location within a short walk of some friends of mine, and that is one of the reasons I like it, but I am also attracted by the feeling that you have somehow stepped back in time once you enter the lobby. The rooms are charming -- yes some of them are small, but I have always felt comfortable, and I am a big guy. On this last trip, there were several things that just weren't working correctly in the room -- the TV was a non-starter (it apparently couldn't be fixed, their only solution was to offer to move me, but I was too busy working to be able to find time to repack and move.) The window shade didn't close the entire way, which meant that my first floor room could pretty much have been visible to anyone who really wanted to take the trouble to peek in on me at night -- a few bolsters from the bed propped up against that window readily fixed that situation. Those are the kinds of things that can go awry at The Majestic. However, the staff are friendly and do try to help even though the results may not remedy the situation. Somehow I don't mind that much. Eating and Drinking: I am not a bar person, but the bar at The Majestic is friendly and frequently has a small crowd of chatty folks. A few years ago, I had several meals in the restaurant -- why would anyone go to a hotel restaurant in San Francisco? Well, the food was amazingly delicious -- interesting and inspired. The service was attentive without being overbearing. These meals in this setting of simple elegance providing quietly restorative endings to some difficult days of work. And I think that best says why I like The Majestic and have returned to it. Somehow, tatty though it may be in certain ways, it is charming and attractive.

Be aware of the parking fee. Because of it, the room price isn't as appealing.

Far exceeded the rate for charm, vintage, unique, special.....

This happens to be one of my favorite areas to stay in SF. It is fairly quiet and removed from the normal tourist attractions. I normally stay at the Queen Anne Hotel down the street, but the hotels.com price was pretty good so I thought I would try the Mejestic. It was pretty much what I expected. The hotel is in good shape. My room was nice for a single. It was an interior room so there was not much of a view, but I've come to expect that from singles. So, the room was nice, the hotel was quiet, the staff was friendly and it is a nice location. The only downside is the lack of parking. I was always able to find a spot on the street within a couple blocks of the hotel, but it is 2-hour parking during the day so you cannot just leave the car there all day.

We always go out of our way to find older hotels. The Majestic was just that. The rooms were small but still had everything you could possibly need. A canapy queen bed and a footed bathtub made us feel as if we stepped back in time. We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed every one of them.

I was looking for a hotel that we could walk to after a ball game, an hours walk later we were there. Not a very large room but better than some other places we stayed at in San Francisco

If you like a smaller hotel with a feel of Old Europe this is a great place. Our room was comfortable and cozy. We liked the antique furniture with 21st Century comfort. Just a few blocks from the cable car on Van Ness and buses nearby---convenient location. We had a pleasant stay and would go there again.

majestic is one of the classic old school beauties of san francisco. while lacking some of the modern froof of the wyndham, it is clean, comfortable, elegant, and loaded with character. parking is not remotely free, but easily accessible via BART and MUNI.

My biggetst issue is actually with the Hotels.com info on this hotel. They mention there is parking, but what they don't mention is that it's valet for $25 a day. Parking in the surrounding streets is 2-hour until 6pm. As for the hotel, the lobby/bar/cafe are magnificent. My room was a little small and could use a remodeling, including a new bed. The door had a large gap on the bottom and the maids woke me up early every morning with their noise. My room was also on a slant which was kind of awkward, especially in bed. The claw foot tub was nice, but when taking a shower the pressure was weak and the curtains annoyed me. Overall I liked it's quaintness though, and it's close to Japan Town, which is why I chose it. I would recommend this hotel, just try not to get room #400.

This place rocks, hell they still have a working marquee type sign out front. The rates were great for the area, very affordable. The rooms were a little small but very victorian, felt very much like old scool San Fran which was great. The employees were so friendly and great to talk to, very professional. They offer free internet in the lobby also which was very great. A cafe and bar on site too. Parking in the area is luck of the draw. They have parking for 25 bucks a day at the hotel, but being that there prices were so great it didn't really matter. Totally stay at this place if you can, it's amazing!!!!

A wonderfully old hotel with an amazing interior. The staff was terrific but the rooms are very small and are in great need of air freshener and a fresh coat of paint. Good for one night on your way to somewhere else. Very far from downtown

The lobby and our room were functional, clean, and had free wireless. The hotel houses a very good restaurant. Being some distance from the main tourist attractions and major hotels is both good and bad. It's good because there are no crowds and the street is quiet. It's bad because transportation isn't always convenient. It won't happen to most visitors, but we had the misfortune of arriving in SF during a heat wave (92 degrees F). With only a small window for ventilation, our first evening was a bit uncomfortable.

Shabby chic but it wasnt supposed to be. We heard many other guests complain at the front desk about various problems. Our room was ok but not worth the price. What was supposed to be elegant victorian was shabby. the dining room was good, just updated. Free computer in the lobby lounge too where everyone gathered. Not worth the price.

This is a nice hotel in a nice neighborhood, with even nicer staff. However, it's not really within walking distance to anything (Union Square, Fisherman's Wharf, a BART station), and it took forever to get a cab. I would say that you might as well spend the extra money to stay near where you want to be, because you're going to spend it in cabs if you stay here. That is, unless you are staying in SF when it's hot, because this hotel has no AC, and it was sweltering.

The hotel has no air conditioning in the rooms and since our room was on the 5th floor, it never cooled off. We thought that since it was the bay area, that leaving the window open would cool the room off at night. The window had no screen on it, and the room never cooled off. Also, once at 5:30 am and once at 9:30 am, the fire alarm went off for no reason. I checked out in the hall at 9:30, the second time it went off, and the housekeeping lady told me not to worry about it. We were not happy about that. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay.

Nice room. Fantastic resturant with great bar and wonderful service.

I loved this hotel. Despite the fact that it is farther from Union Square than we had wanted, it was very pretty, clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and it had a lovely restaurant and bar, both of which we enjoyed. I would definitely stay there again.

Everything was very nice. The room was small but very comfortable and clean. The only problem was parking. The hotel lot was full and we had to self park about 2 blocks away. With luggage, this could be hard especially if it is raining. Other than that, the staff was so nice and we would definitely stay there again.

Lovely room, high ceilings, beautiful furnishings, comfy bed, bath nicely appointed. I would recommend to any who ask - and I'll be back!

beautiful, centrally located

This room windows faced into an office building that seems to do business at night. This room also overlooked the fire escape that was being used as a party meeting place and smoking lounge. I would have asked for a discount but I had already pre payed hotel.com.

The staff wasn't overly friendly. I'm the kind of person who likes eye contact and a warm hello, especially when I'm spending money! But the staff was cordial, the night manager, however, was extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms were nicely decorated, if not worn down (the drapes where really dirty). It was in a great location, away from the noise of buses and people, and within easy walking distance of all the major Muni lines. Overall, I felt satisfied with the hotel for what I paid.

Couzy, quaint hotel. It was not the worst hotel I have ever stayed in but it did not exceed my expectations. The room itself was small, but nice (in a different way). The biggest let down was the customer service. I had requested some extra ammenities prior to the visit and they were not added to the room nor did the staff follow up to see that I received them until it came time to check out and I had to ask for them to be removed from my bill.

What a find! This is a lovely little hotel with gorgeous antique furnishings and French and English window treatments and canopies. Right in the middle of San Francisco! The manager on duty went out of his way to find us a room we could check into at 11am after travelling since 3am so we were very grateful to check in early and be able to take a nap. The newly reopened Cafe Majestic is getting rave reviews for gourmet food. All in all, a charming and romantic boutique hotel at a great price. Clean and comfortable with great service.

Bon emplacement dans un quartier qui permet de rentrer le soir en sécurité, à 5-10 mn du terminus de la ligne California du cable-car. Décor victorien qui pourrait être sympa mais vieillot, poussiéreux et suranné. Salles de bains antiques, moquettes à l'avenant et chambre très petite. De grosses rénovations sont nécéssaires. Eclairage insuffisant, comme dans beaucoup d'hôtels, et pas seulement aux US

sehr schönes Hotel in Pacific Haights, gute Lage, Innenstadt selbst zu Fuß erreichbar
