We loved the French theme throughout. Each floor featured a French artist. I did wish the restaurant was still open, but coffee and oranges available in the lobby and good breakfasts were steps away at Roxanne’s. In the Junior Suite we had a lovely separate sitting room, where my daughters and I gathered each evening to visit. The bed was very comfortable. Although it had a mind of its own sometimes, the historic elevator added to the charm. The two staff we saw most were friendly and very helpful. The location of the hotel was perfect for us: cable car and three good restaurants steps from our door, and we could walk through Chinatown, Little Italy and Fisherman’s Wharf from there.

The entire building is beautifully decorated. Our room was lovely and staff were helpful. The breakfast was a plus.

Our room was too cool for us and the heating unit was not working. We did call for assistance and were promised that maintenance would take care of it. This did not happen before we left.

I used to come here all of the time because they had a breakfast. I hope they bring Breakfast back.

Staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was complimentary which was a lovely surprise and was very tasty- Eggs, Bacon, potatoes etc. The chef was really friendly. Location was ideal just off union square. The room was small , but very clean and serviced each day. The shower was good too. I would stay here again but wouldn't pay extra for a deluxe

We booked a deluxe queen. The room we got I feel was a standard room. The receptionist said it was a deluxe and showed me the booking but the pictures online were very deceiving and looked nothing like the room we got. Pictures online that matched our room were those of a standard room.

Very conveniently located, loved the older style building and boutique hotel. Staff was attentive and friendly, no issues with the elevator for us. Restaurants, stores, and coffee shops within short walking distance. Included breakfast was decent (eggs/potatoes/bacon with juices/milk/coffee). Beds were comfortable, room was clean, walls weren’t thin or anything, windows actually open which was very nice. Parking was $40/night across the street. Also just a really cool ambiance to the place!

Hallways have a certain aged aroma (no odd smells in the room, and it’s an older building so it’s kind of expected), no fridge or microwave might be a dealbreaker for some.

The hotel is located near Union Square but the surrounding area is quiet. The hotel has a really lovely aesthetic in all the different floors and rooms. The rooms themselves are spacious, cozy and well furnished. The bathroom was lovely with ample space, great light and piping hot water. The staff is very kind and welcoming. The breakfast was abundant.

The hotel does smell a little old. The elevator needs to be handled properly or it will get stuck. There are several hills in this area. Not the hotel's fault but just a warning - my elderly father was having issues with the walks.

We love San Francisco and like to spend our anniversary, Valentine's day, there when we can. One reason we chose the Cornell is our history of staying there in the 90's and early 2000. We were also anxious to have a Valentine's dinner in the Jeanne d'Arc castle-like restaurant in the basement. The hotel is central to most things we like to see. It is beautifully decorated. It is quaint. The restaurant puts out a delicious fresh breakfast that is included in the room charge. Our dinner at the restaurant was excellent. It was very romantic and the environment is cozy.

The elevator is unique and while there are multiple signs asking patrons not to pull the inner gate open or closed, it seems people fail to comply so the elevator is occasionally down. The elevator is one of the unique items in the hotel tho.

The staff was super friendly and very nice. The welcome message they sent with suggestions on how to get there saved me a lot of money by using BART (which I highly recommend)

There was a problem with WiFi for 2 days with lousy signal and sometimes no internet at all, the staff did mention it was temporary and by the third day this was solved (and I know it’s not their fault) however, coming from another country sometimes all you have available is WiFi to check maps, etc. So I did suffer a bit there, then again, like I mentioned they said it was temporary and was eventually fixed

Breakfast was better than expected, including both hot and cold options (e.g. bacon & eggs, cereal, pastries etc.) Location was great, we were a bit worried as it was a little close to the Tenderloin, but the area was fine and very convenient to get around the city. Staff were also great and the hotel itself was pretty funky.

Rooms were not air conditioned, so I wouldn't stay here if I was visiting in Summer. We had booked the Deluxe Queen Room and expected the room to be a tad bigger, but it was perfect for our short stay. Would've also liked a smart tv, as only free to air/cable channels were available.

The location is wonderful. My husband and I were able to walk to and from all the places we visited--Russian Hill, North Beach, Chinatown, Union Square, and SOMA (South of Market Street). The hotel is charming; our room ("Premier Queen") was pretty, very comfortable with lots of space to store things, and had a nice view; the staff friendly and helpful; the complimentary FULL breakfast abundant and satisfying. We hope to eat at the hotel's newly reopened Jeanne d'Arc Restaurant when we return next year. BTW, we stayed four nights this time and have booked five for the next. NOTE: Room prices are based on size. The "Cozy Queens" are 100 sq. feet and face a side of the building. (They are similar in size and view to most of the hotel rooms we have had during our biannual stays in Paris.) The "Premier Queens" have 169 sq. feet and face either the front or back of the building. That size rooms in Paris are considerably more than what we want to pay (and they don't include even a "continental" breakfast.) Needless to say, we were very pleased and are looking forward to returning to San Francisco and the Cornell Hotel de France.

Nothing.
