"Great Location!Great Bellman!Great Wine Hour!"
Hotel location is spectacular for the Tourist visiting Fisherman' Wharf. The rooms are comfortable. Love the nautical theme.The Bellman always a "great" smile and upbeat personality. The front desk a bit young and could be more knowledgeable about the higher end restaurants. I do despise when you ask for an upgrade (willing to pay more) and the front […] desk clerk said "nothing available" and "you booked with hotels.com"....so meaning since you booked with hotels.com you cannot pay additional for an upgrade? He could be right and I will look into it...but he never even checked for an available upgrade...nice guy but like I said , young..... The wine hour is a great perk ! If you happen to be so lucky and get a reservation for Restaurant Gary Danko (located less then 2 blocks) that is a MUST experience! Read more

Great room , great location and would stay again.
Great hotel, great location, great concierge service. A wonderful experience. Our doorman, Donovan, had wonderful dinner recommendations every night. He touted that he was a foodie and we believe that he was after going to his recommended restaurants! Will return and stay at the Argonaut!
"Perfect Hotel!"

"Get me to the GOLD"
Love this Hotel. If your a tourist this is the best area to stay in. I live in the city and we wanted to do something spontanious so we decited to stay at the Warf for the night. It felt like I was on vacation in my own backyard. Nice, Clean and great dservice. Safe, fun and beautiful area. You cannot stay here without a trip across the street to the […] Buena Vista Cafe for Irish coffee. ALso if you like to explore its a just 15 min walk over the hill to North Beech(or 5 min Cable car) Read more
The hotel staff was very helpful. I needed a recommendation to a good seafood restaurant within walking distance and the restaurant recommended was wonderful. The hotel was clean, quiet, the bed was divine, and I would definitely go back again. The location at Fisherman's Wharf was practically next to the cable car turnaround and I took the cable car […] to my business meeting the next morning. How convenient, and what a ride! Read more
"Perfect for San Francisco!"
We had a wonderful, delightful two-night stay at the Argonaut. We were delighted with the nautical theme throughout the building, a beautifully restored warehouse at the end of Fisherman's Wharf. Loved the exposed brick and huge beams in our room. A nice touch was the hot chocolate served each afternoon - - -very pleasant after a cold, windy day exploring. […] Suggestions: The items in the refrigerator seemed a little over-priced, so bring your own snacks. And we found a small empty liquor bottom under the TV table - - -a cleaning oversight, I'd guess. The staff was amazing - - friendly, helpful, and fun! I'd stay there again in a minute! Read more
"AWESOME hotel!"
Our first time here at the Argonaut...and we loved it!! rooms are great, comfy and clean. Service was great, no complaints...next time we are in San Fran we will be here!
"Hotel Argonaut Rocks!"
These guys are great. Not only is the Hotel a good value - the people are fun, friendly and accommodated everything we could ask for - from an early check-in to room upgrade and late check-out!

"Great Location, BUT"
Hotel and staff were great, Location was fantastic. Upon arrival, they took care of parking our car and delivered our bags to the room. The door staff recommented a great place to eat dinner outside of the tourist area. Food and atmoshere were fantastic for a quiet romantic dinner. Only negative was that the walls had no sound dampening. Woke up to […] kids yelling and the parents being just as load. Other than tthat it was a great stay. They held our bags while we tour SF until late in the day and did not charge for extra parking Read more
"Argonaut - Nice Hotel, Good Location, Tiny Room"
Booked a busy weekend getaway at the Argonaut (we'd stayed there before) to be close to our friends who live a short distance away from the wharf. Got the 'superior king', fairly pricey even for the tourist area, but it turned out to be a queen and in a very smallish room a long way from the elevator, and the window looked out onto a sidewalk. That […] said, everything was well appointed, the service was good, and the location can't be beat. Parking was also pricey, but at least the service was reasonably timely. If you're going to pay this kind of money for a superior experience, better make sure you know where you'll be. Read more
"Argonaut Hotel"
It was my first trip to San Francisco and we stayed a week at the Argonaut Hotel. I thorougly enjoyed my stay there. It has to be one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed in! The staff was friendly and very helpful when I had questions about resturants, transportation and sights to visit. Also they had a wine reception every day at 5pm which I […] attended most evenings. The wine was good. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Also it was not located at the noisy end of Fisherman's Wharf which is definitely a plus! Read more
"Great service, location and restaurant"
This hotel had it all - service, location and great food. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and well appointed. You can't get a better location - right on the Wharf, a block away from the cable car turnaround. Everything is within easy reach. I can't wait to return.
"my thought"
overall this place was okay to stay the only thing that I and my wife did not like was the bed it was too soft I felt like my back broke and struggle to get up in the morning. my wife couldn't sleep so she just got up and didn't sleep anymore.
"Argonaunt San Francisco, great family hotel"
Stayed here for four days during President's Week with two pre-teens and found it to be the perfect family hotel. We stayed in a double room with bay views and thought it an excellent value. For a basic room, there was tons of room for everyone to spread out and the decor was very cute and quirky, not hotel cookie-cutter. The hotel itself was also lovely […] and funky, very clean, well maintained and the staff very friendly.. Was worried about proximity to Fisherm'as Wharf and tourist central, but the location was fabulous. It is close enough (about 3 blocks) to easily walk to most of the tourist attractions (cable car depot, Fisherman's Wharf, Aquarium, Alcatraz Ferry, vintage electric cars, sea lions and shops at Pier 39, virtually every city tour bus start ). But is is also about one block past the masses of tourists so the block surrounding the hotel was very peaceful. A park is across the street on one corner and the bay with lovely views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate bridge is right across the street (ask for bay view room on upper floor) There is also a cool Maritime Museum in the hotel lobby. Tons of restaurants within two blocks of the hotel. Since the cable car turnaround is right across the street, we bought passes and took the cable car to most places, inlcuding Union Square, Chinatown and Lombardi Street. Read more
"a great place to stay for Fisherman's Wharf visit"
This place is conveniently located within short walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf as well as quick access to the trolly. The hotel is very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It has a great restaurant, bar, and even a free museum. Ghirardelli is also a couple blocks away and quick access to the beach park with views of the Golden Gate Brid […] ge. Read more

"Great hotel with fabulous service"
We have stayed here twice. 'Love this spot down on the wharf. We love the morning jog out the door, thru the Precidio and out along the bay toward the Golden Gate. Beautiful! Great service, staff treated us really well...very helpful and friendly. The free hot choco in the afternoon is great on a cool day. Rooms are nice...fun nautical theme without […] being kitchy. We will be back. Read more
"argonaut in San Francisco"
very nice, friendly and convenient
"Nice hotel"
The room is long and narrow. It is located on the very westerly end of the Fisherman Wharf area about a block east of the Ghirardelli Square. Everything is walking distant. Pier 39 is approx 3/4 mile away, but there is a lot to see in between the hotel and there. We missed the wine reception but the hotel staff gave up free wine vouchers for the main […] restaurant. Excellent service. While waiting in line a couple came in early. The staff told them that the room would be ready right after they finish their breakfast and breakfast was on the house. Now that is service! Read more
"The Argonaut"
Excellent Location, the staff are so helpful and courteous. A must stay hotel
"SUPER DOG FRIENDLY ON SF Fisherman's wharf"
What a warm and friendly place. The wine reception was a great place to plan our evening. Our three Springer Spaniels were so happy and so welcomed by the staff, who sent up 3 doggy bowls and provided treats! Of course we think our dogs are beautiful and well-behaved, it is wonderful for a hotel to notice and embrace these important family members! […] And a last minute booking got us a fabulous rate!

Great Hotel, *************** will be back ************************* Super Location.
"Kimpton hotels are like home"
I stay regularly in SF at another Kimpton hotel, but for this trip it was completely booked, so I tried the Argonaut. Loved everything about it - the hotchocolate bar, the complimentary wine hour, the wonderful and refreshingly cheerful staff, and an comfortable, uniquely decorated, high quality room with all the amenities I need, and then some.
Couldn't book a decent hotel near the convention center and found the Argonaut online. Very glad I ended up there. Very pleasant and accomodating staff, great room, clean and comfortable, with a view of Alcatraz, convenient location and reasonable price. I will definitely stay there again the next time I travel to San Francisco.

"Agronaut Hotel-loved it!"
January - loved the location!! First time in SF. I stayed 4 days, I would have loved to stay 1 month in the Agronaut. Just loved to cross the street and walked around the Fishermans Wharf. We rented bicycles to cross the Golden Gate right next to the Hotel. Took the City tours, cable cars and trolleys one block away from the Hotel. The view from my […] room.. Alcatraz. Just loved it. Thanks for a great trip!! Read more

"This hotel has a personnel problem"
The hotel is clean and the location is good. However, the hotel has service and personnel problems. Upon my arrival at the hotel, I ordered soup from room service, but they forgot to include the spoon with the soup. I asked for a wake up call at 6:00 A.M (first day), and 8:30 A.M (second day), and the hotel front desk forgot to wake me up both days. […] Thanks to my iPhone alarm, I woke up on time otherwise I would have missed my meetings. I ordered an airport shuttle and put the fare on my Visa card. However, the hotel concierge neglected to tell me that the receipt she gave me was to be given to the shuttle driver. Upon arrival at the airport, assuming that I had paid the fare, I gave the driver a tip and left for my gate. The driver, thinking that I had not paid the fare, called airport security (the TSA) who confronted me at the gate. I was able to clear up the mixup without being arrested, but it was an upsetting experience . Read more
"The Argonaut Hotel in San Francisco"
Very fun and a bit funky hotel. Very close to Fisherman's Wharf and Fort Mason, easy walk to other great parts of the city. Great service, clean and comfortable rooms, great snacks! Definitely would stay again.
"Argonaut - a pleasant surprise"
We booked this hotel because of the location: right on the cable car line and at the waterfront. I saw on the website that they we undergoing renovations so when we checked in, I mentioned that since we we celebrating our 36th wedding anniversary we we concerned about remodeling noise. We were assured that our room would be unaffected and no work was […] done at unusual hours. We were told to check out the room and if we didn't like it they would get us another. It was perfect. Everyone was so friendly. Blase at the front desk sent up Champagne and that got us through until the wine pour in the lobby they have each evening. We would definetely stay there again Read more
"Argonaut Hotel Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco"
The doorman and parking attendants were great when we arrived. They took care of the bags very quickly. Check in was smooth and our bags arrived at our room just minutes after we did! The hotel staff was friendly and the rooms very clean and comfortable. There was afternoon hot chocolate (a bit weak) and later wine in the lobby. The Hotel is on the […] edge of the Wharf area so a little quieter which was just what we wanted. The Cable Car is just around the corner and other public transportation is close. Kudos the the doorman, he held our car for us on checkout and we grabbed a bowl of chowder at the Blue Mermaid on his recommendation. Great chowder and exceptional service, made the end of our trip a great experience! Read more
"Hotel Argonaut in Fisherman's Whart"
Spacious rooms for SF - love the new decor - more muted yet still maintains nautical theme. Have stayed at other SF Kimpton hotels and this one upholds the same quality. Excellent front desk service as well as bellhop service. Would stay again.
"All about the staff!"
This is a darling Hotel with a FABULOUS staff! They are so cheerful and helpful- can't say enough. Only downside was the wait for a cab in the morning. The hotel is located away from business district so be sure and leave early for meetings!
"Argonaut, San Francisco"
Overall, the hotel was great. Great customer service, great location, good sized rooms, very clean. My only complaint was we could hear our next door neighbors laughing and talking very early in the morning.
