A truly wonderful visit! Because of my business travels, we've usually stayed in major hotels: e.g. St. Francis; Marriott; Hyatt, etc. For our most recent visit to San Francisco, my wife (who dislikes large hotels) enjoined me to stay in a smaller hotel that she "found" on the internet: the White Swan Inn. We had a wonderful time? The Staff... more

I stayed there for a week in April. The White Swan is very well situated for getting aorund San Francisco and has some excellent restaurants in the close vicinity. The staff were polite but impersonal, and some of the 'backstage' women were downright miserable. My room was flowered from carpet to walls and back again. The roses and teddy bears... more

My mother, sister, and I stayed here for 5 nights as a fun "girls" getaway, and it was exactly what we wanted. Charming, old-fashioned, homelike rooms with enough space for three women to get ready in the morning -- pretty floral and plaid decor that would perhaps appeal more to the ladies than the gentlemen -- a working gas fireplace... more

We stayed at the White Swann for 3 nights around the first of February and loved it. The breakfasts were great, lots of choices, fresh fruit, quiche, croissants etc. The rooms were different and fun, our daughter loved the bears and ended up taking one home. The evening wine social was a nice time to meet others and relax. The... more

I thought maybe we made reservations at the wrong Inn after reading the reviews, but I verified the address and yes, we were staying at the same place Where to start, when we arrived the staff was very accommodating and helpful and this was true throughout our stay. But the Inn needs serious maintenance. Our first room's shower was filthy... more

As a now-frequent business traveler to SF, during my first trip in Oct07 I stayed at a "large chain" hotel. Knowing that I was going to be in SF at least a week or two per month for several upcoming months, I wanted more than a large chain hotel ... I wanted all the comforts of home. I asked (local)... more

We recently spent 2 days at the White Swan Inn. The hot breakfast was delicious and the evening wine reception was a nice way to unwind after a day of hiking the hills of San Francisco. Our room was very quiet considering the Inn's location on a busy street. There was no traffic noise, however the birds in the courtyard... more

For our 30th wedding anniversary, we chose a trip to San Francisco. After much research, we fortunately picked the White Swan for our 4 nite stay. We had been to London in 2006 and were attracted to the European boutique style hotel. It is not a hotel for everyone, particularly if you are into modern. But it you love history... more

We were celebrating our one year anniversary and this was a perfect vacation. We stayed 2 nights / 3 days and it was perfect way to see San Francisco. We loved the location! It was sucha nice quiet resort in the middle of the city. We were right off the cable car line and could hop over a few blocks... more
