Annie's Cottage is a quiet little studio cottage with a view onto the inside of a very typical…read moreRussian Hill block, in a classic Edwardian house. The location is fantastic, it's pretty reasonably priced, and it's quite comfortable. The bed is a four-poster queen, and there were rather a lot of pillows. There's also a table at which two can sit, a love seat, and some other quaint furniture, as well as a kitchen sink, refrigerator and microwave. The room was clean and neat, with no untoward smells. There was quite a bit of Verbena-scented soap in the bathroom. The decor is pretty standard Victorian San Francisco, with wainscoting and a lovely big shower/tub in the bathroom. There's WiFi, with a pretty decently fast connection. There's a porch to sit on, facing the backyard. There's no breakfast service, but there's coffee and tea, and a toaster. I tend to be a pretty shy guest at B&B's, and Annie's was ideal for me in this sense - she left me alone, other than settling up the bill, and she didn't even hassle me about that - we just figured out a time. There are some excellent restaurants near here on Hyde - Za, Frascati, Tre Fratelli, Milano and U-Lee come to mind. Polk is the big local business district, and there are quite a few more restaurants down there. Parking here is no fun. But on the plus side, you can take the cable car, which runs along Hyde Street. If you need to walk down to Polk Street, be aware that the most direct path down the hill is pretty steep. If your knees are weak, you might want to hang a left on Hyde, and follow it down to Broadway, then continue downhill on Broadway to Polk.

However... as of 2026, I don't even know if it's open for business anymore. The website is dead, and people are saying they can't even get a hold of anyone. The building was sold in January and the business status is murky. All I know is, Marty and Connie were the beating heart and soul of this establishment. Unfortunately, people do age and eventually pass. I don't think that either of them has passed, but from what I heard, there was a sudden medical issue and they're not coming back. I hope that the new ownership can get it together and bring back this amazing place to continue as a gem of a place to stay in SF, but... not holding my breath. :-(

We stayed for one night this month, after the Spiritbox show at the nearby (two blocks, uphill) Masonic. Our room was spacious, with a queen bed far more comfortable than most hotels I've stayed at, closet with robes (that was a first for me), fireplace, tv, chairs, coffee table, and desk. I liked the bathroom and shower. Better water pressure than I get at home, go figure. I even tried the pump shampoo and body wash attached to the wall because the smelled so yummy, and found them to be good quality too. Usually I don't really mess with complimentary toiletries because I have sensitive skin and a whole routine for my curls, but I took a risk and it paid off. Ambiance was everything. It felt like a Bed & Breakfast in the Scottish Highlands. Furniture well-loved, clean but cozy as opposed to sterile, old-fashioned fixtures, funky pink and teal hexagonal carpet that looked like tile at first glance, wall clocks, floral wallpaper, embroidery...all the little bits and bobs made me feel right at home. Our experiences with the staff here were lovely, and there were no issues during our stay at all. We found the hotel quiet, and the walls and windows well-suited to block out the city noises. The only thing I would have liked to have would be a screen on the window by the bed so I could enjoy the nice cold San Francisco air without worrying about nasty bugs flying in. I really loved staying here, and as I said, I would absolutely come back if I could afford it. They offer complimentary breakfast, but I only had a coffee and maple donut brought to me by my love, so cannot comment on the items offered or the breakfast nook downstairs. Be sure to try the cool retro elevator with metal screen. You have to press the button for a few 1000s and wait patiently for it to arrive, but arrive it will. I was def not pretending I was on the Titanic. They have valet parking available, but as we left the car at a Bart station outside the city to save us the $ and hassle, can't comment on the price of that either. It is a pretty straight shot walking from here to the Powell Bart station, downhill. On the way here from the Bart I would recommend a bus or the cable car ($8 one way) uphill if you don't want to go all the way uphill.

Pros: location close to public transportation and nearby neighborhoods…read more Cons: The property lacked basic comforts that I look for while traveling. Upon arrival noticed the mattress comforter had hair on it!! All different kinds of colors and thickness indicating they hadn't been washed in weeks/months. The mattress sunk in when sleeping on it. Quite uncomfortable. Windows were very hard to open. After much effort realized no screens on windows. Shame as wanted to keep them open during the day to ventilate the room due to poor odors. Was very cold in the room due to poor insulation and cracks around the windows letting in wind draft. Heater did not work. Fireplace was just for show and provided not enough heat to be comfortable. Wall are so thin you can hear neighbors' morning alarms through the walls, as well as talking in the lobby and people having breakfast downstairs. Can hear loud footsteps upstairs from neighbors coming back late at night 11pm and beyond! Could not sleep until they did, which would be after midnight. Quite disruptive considering planned to wake up early and start my day. Conclusion: Do not recommend this place unless you like the lack of basic comforts and like noise and disruptions. After a long but enjoyable day in the city, I would dread going back to my room due to the noise and disruptions. We talked to the front desk on a few occasions about these issues with no avail. Not acceptable especially given how much I paid. Overall displeased. Will not be coming back and looking for a better alternative nearby.

We were very pleasantly surprised by our stay here…read more It's extremely conveniently located near the Ferry Building and the bay just across the street. And yet despite that, the prices here are some of the most affordable in the city. Great service too for a smaller boutique hotel. I was shocked at how they get artisanal quality pastries every morning that are complimentary for guests (these aren't your typical bulk pastries for continental breakfast). They also have filtered water machines and YMCA passes for workouts. The only drawbacks are the rooms, which are a bit small and can get warm in the evenings, but have everything you need, and a decent sized shower. Would definitely stay here again the next time I need to be near the Embarcadero!

The only free parking is on Sundays until 9 AM the following day. I was lucky to find parking very close. I arrived a few hours before check-in so I called. The lady was kind enough to contact the housekeeper to request my room be cleaned next. Within an hour I had a text telling me the room was ready. It was easy to get in using the provided key code. The interior is inviting, clean without feeling sterile. There is a communal living room with seats and a kitchen with bottled water, Keurig, and a kettle for tea. They have many tea varieties, cutlery, and such. The room was compact with my own toilet, shower and a sink. This is noted, because a foreign couple I met used my phone to call the manager as their toilet was located elsewhere, down the hallway. I was comforted after several days of travel to be in a bed that felt good to lay in, the pillows were the almost buoyant. The sheets and blankets were the perfect weight. I do not remember appreciating a bed as much as this in my 40 years of travel. It's located in an ideal location close to my favorite focaccia bakery, Liguria Bakery. It's walking distance to the Piers or you can catch the streetcar which has a stop on the other side of Washington Inn. There is an exquisite patisserie around the corner, where I sat outdoors, drinking my latte and watching the people walk by. I highly recommend Washington Square inn.

The hotel has two restaurants, one for breakfast and one for bar and dinner. But there are so many good restaurants nearby as well. Convenient. I checked in late in the evening during a holiday weekend, and it was busy. The front lobby had two people checking in guests. When it was my turn at the counter, we were checked in pretty quickly and given a run down of the layout and weekend activities. Fresh water is provided right by the elevators so you can fill water bottles before heading to your rooms. And in the morning, hot coffee is provided right before you head out for the day. Pretty thoughtful. My stay was two nights, and the first night the street music and sounds came thru loud and clear. But the second night, it was quiet outside. So it's unpredictable if my stay would be relaxing or nerve racking. The room for 3 was a good size with a large bathroom, large windows of street view, and sizable writing desk, and arm chair. I got to use the gym once and it had all the general equipment and fairly large room. Upon check out, we received the kid welcome gift which was supposed to be at check in, but check in was chaotic so it was better late than never. And the staff were all very nice and friendly during our stay. We would come back to this location if we get the chance again.

The staff was incredibly friendly, everything was spotless, and the overall experience felt elevated from start to finish. We also ate at the restaurant downstairs, and every dish we tried was delicious. The only downside was that the walls in our room seemed pretty thin. We could hear our neighbors talking late at night so clearly that we could actually understand their conversation. I'm not sure if it was because of the room we stayed in or if it's common throughout the hotel, but I figured it was worth mentioning. It wasn't a huge issue for us, just something to keep in mind.
