Cleanliness of room, and the host allowed us an early check in which was helpful since flying the night flight from Hawai’i. Location was great. Bed was super comfortable and pressure in shower was amazing.

1 Belvedere Ave Dipsea Trail Lodging, hotel in Stinson Beach

A 5-minute walk from Stinson Beach in Stinson Beach, 1 Belvedere Ave Dipsea Trail Lodging offers accommodations with access to a fitness room.

We did not have breakfast there. We needed a stay just over night so came in around 8 and left early. The place is more like a hostel, very crowded, especially downstairs.

    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!!
