Golden Gate Park Suite, hotel in San Francisco

Offering a garden and garden view, Golden Gate Park Suite is located in San Francisco, 4.5 km from University of San Francisco and 7.3 km from Golden Gate Bridge.

The room was nice and comfortable. The neighborhood is great! There is very good coffee just a few blocks away, and plenty of food options nearby. I didn't have a car, and none is necessary there. The N-Judah line is close and brings you downtown quickly, and there are many bike-share stations for more free-form travel as well.

1 Belvedere Ave Dipsea Trail Lodging, hotel in Stinson Beach

Offering a garden and mountain view, 1 Belvedere Ave Dipsea Trail Lodging is situated in Stinson Beach, 500 metres from Stinson Beach and 2.2 km from Red Rock Beach.

Superb location next to the beach. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Very at-home feeling with an ocean view. There is no lift in the house so for rooms with the best ocean view you will have to climb 2 staircases.

    This was my second stay at Chapter as i loved it the first time round. Great hostal, well priced and the staff there are great. Perfect to have a little slice of peace amongst the chaos of travel, and has a couple of bus stops within a couple minutes walk for easy access to the city. Highly recommend

    Excellent base to explore SF while pretending you're Kerouac or Ginsberg. So much history in the hotel and the area, great restaurant, bars and cafes, and locals. Buy a paperback at City Lights and read it with a coffee and pastry at Cafe Trieste. I downgraded to a small street facing room and loved it - stayed for a week and was sad to leave.

    The location was excellent, lots of food options. Hotel is near the water but close to key transport routes into centre. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. Excellent standards for a budget room. Safer neighborhood full of locals and young families.

    Easy location to restaurants, transport and the wharfs. According to locals we spoke with the in house restaurant is quite good - it closes early so we missed out. They offer complementary chilled filtered water, coffee & pastries in the morning reception. Hot water good in shower.

    We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Condo. Nicola is a great host, she surprised us with breakfast basics at arrival. It is a safe and quiet location, a convenient Uber ride to the city . We liked to relax in the garden. Everything we needed was available. The bed is very comfortable. Xander is a beautiful and gentle soul. We will be back for sure :-)

    Good hostel, comfy beds and enough room in the dorms. There’s free breakfast (tea, coffee, cereal & porridge). Location good, rather posh, which is good since there won’t be a lot of homeless/drug addicts. Staff very friendly. Lot‘s of free parking which is great and rare in cities!!
