We had a delightful stay with charming hosts to accomodated our every need and beyond. It has the charm of smaller French and European hotels. We would go back.

Perfect location to catch the trolly; enjoyed the fresh, hot breakfast; hotel staff very friendly; rooms small, but cozy.

Clean room and a great bed to crash in. Quiet considering all the bustle around the hotel. Would stay again. Only problem I had a toilet that had difficulties flushing sometimes but knew how to fix it.

Great location secure for single women owner of the hotel willing to go out on Bush St. to flag a cab for me.Also real cooked to order breakfast in the dining room. I will return .

Had a great time, well maintained older hotel, great location, close to union square, but just off, so it was quiet.

The Cornell was a cute little hotel for the location. Within walking distance to Union Square, it was hard to beat the price. The rooms were super small but VERY clean. What was incredible was the service and the full breakfast included with the cost of the room. I was shocked! They brought me this amazing french toast and my mom ordered eggs, toast, the whole nine yards. Just leave a good tip! Great place if you are in San Fran for shopping or business and need a clean, cute place to crash.

It's such a relaxing change from other chain hotels. The location is perfect, very near everything you need yet far from city noise. I'd definitely stay here again.

Very cute, quaint hotel. Wonderful service. The free breakfast was huge and very tasty. My room was small with two twin beds but very comfortable. My only complaint was that the toilet didn't flush well. Otherwise, great stay for the price! Would definitely stay here again.

It is a good vacation hotel, not for the buissines oriented.

I enjoyed my stay at the Cornell Hotel. Hotel was clean and organized. The staff was friendly and pleasant. My room was quiet and was able to open the window to enjoy the fresh air from outside. I only had two issues, one was that breakfast was not served early enough which made me miss breakfast and parking information was not made clear at check-in, which caused a lot of headaches at the parking garage.

The overall experience was great. Quiet, quaint hotel in a nice area. Was disappointed the dog was not their to meet us, but did see him at a later date. The breakfast was excellent. Overall I would recommend the hotel. The parking was more than quoted on the internet, and down the block, across the street. I, for some reason expected it to be more on the hotel premises.

When we were searching,the reviews were mixed on the Cornell, but we found it to be a very nice, independent hotel, well maintained and in a great location for touring San Francisco. The breakfast was very pleasant, and with the art work in the halls you really got the feel of a small European hotel. The surrounding area is not the best, but there were some nice cafes and restaurants close by, the cable car runs right by the corner, and you can rent a car right across the street. Very enjoyable experience.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights, we loved that the hotel was in a prime location. Only a few blocks from (Market st.) one of the main pick up/drop off points for the cable car. Union Square is in walking distance. Hotel room was nice, but small. There was some construction outside right by our window. There were no screens on our windows, so we couldn't open them to get fresh air. Made the room a little stuffy. I would recommend the hotel to others.

We found The Cornell Hotel to be a very charming, old world type hotel. The rooms were quite comfortable, especially the bed. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The breakfast the next morning was a nice surprise in the very romantic atmosphere of the French restaurant which is in the same building as the hotel. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Hotel upgraded the room, which had good light and was quiet. Good value in San Francisco a couple of blocks from Union Square.

Wonderful experience. Loved the quaintness of the hotel, especially the clawfoot bathtub and old-fashioned elevator. Would definitely stay there again.

Room was small and tight - not condusive for children. Breakfast excellent, service personnel were polite, attentive and efficient. Shower had limited hot water and plumbing was old. Tub small for average size person. Linnens were worn but seemed clean. Overall, wonderful location; convenient to China Town, convention center and downtown - loved atmosphere. Restaurant had excellent french food for dinner - although a little expensive.

the room was smaller than our bed room at home. the view was the brick wall of the gay male strip club next door. there was no air conditoner, and the heater was an old radiator that started going off automatically at 430 in the morning. it was very loud from the people above us and beside us, and the noise from out side, and the strip club next door. the room also smelt of mold and fired food.

This hotel is in the middle of everything in San Francisco. The quaint decorations are lovely, and the free breakfast is great. The night watchman is not the friendliest, but we did arrive after midnight. I was very happy with this hotel for the money. It's right next to the Powell cable car and near plenty of public transportation for those who don't have a car.

Nice Clean place, Owner puts alot of effort to make the hotel clean and romantic. Close to union square and china town. lovley little place.

great hotel, nice and clean and friendly, great restraunt downstairs

I was travelling on business with my 10yr-old. When we first arrived, the room they gave us was very small, with furniture that was too big for the room, and with an old T.V. sitting on top of a dresser. The decor was not what I was expecting from a "French" hotel--it was "suburban" French, I guess. This on top of the fact that it appeared to be run and operated by a non-French staff made me want to move to another hotel--it just wasn't what I expected. When I tried to move, I was told that my nights had been paid for via the internet, and that I could not be reimbursed to move to another hotel,but that they could move us to another room, for a little extra money. The new room was much bigger, with a newer T.V., a much bigger bathroom, more light (but same decor, unfortunately). The restaurant was interesting, with nice French Joan of Arc decor, compared to the bedrooms; the free breakfasts were nice, but we never had a big meal there as my kid didn't like eating in the basement. The owners arrived the next day, and they seemed lovely, FRENCH. I needed to check my emails for work, and fortunately was able to use my laptop's wifi in the lobby, otherwise I would have been sunk. All in all the staff was very helpful, the guests quiet; the rooms were a little noisy simply because of the location (and the garbage is picked up in the middle of the night!). I would probably stay at this hotel again, you can't beat the location--very convenient to everything.

This was a great place for me because I met my granddaughter who only works two blocks away and we went all over by cable car or walking. Spent one day just walking in China Town, only two blocks from the hotel. They also have a full American breakfast, which is unusual in this day and age. Usually all you get is Continental breakfast, roll, coffee, fruit (maybe). The hotel was a jewel, to be sure. Very small, you get to know everyone staying there, if they come down to breakfast.

This hotel was not warm nor inviting. The staff was cold and impersonal. Never told me where the ice machine was. My room was very cold at night - no heat. The desk staff was surly and NOT NICE, nor did they go out of their way to make me feel comfortable. Horrible stay. What a waste of money.

Hotel bien tenu et surtout très bien situé. Les chambres aux étages supérieurs sont à recommander.

Wer preiswert und zentral in San Francisco unterkommen möchte, ist hier richtig.Alle Räume inkl. dem Restaurant wurden mit allerlei angesammelten französischem Kitsch ausgestattet, aber stören tut das nicht. Das Beste ist die Lage. Cable Car direkt vorm Haus, Union Square zwei Blocks entfernt.

BIEN SITUE EN CENTRE VILLE ET CORRECT POUR PASSER QUELQUES JOURS DANS UNE DES PLUS BELLES VILLES DU MONDE
