Ive only been here one night and one full day of my five night stay and Im already so impressed. The check-in staff (Cody) was very helpful, conversational and kind. The free breakfast and wine hour are lovely but the abundant fireplaces really set this place apart. Theres a downstairs area where breakfast is served and it remains open to guests. In this space there is 24 hour water, coffee, tea, and HOT COCOA (!) along with lovely music and ambiance that reminds of yesteryear when phones were not invented and people actually socialized. Ive already had the most lovely conversations

Could not recommend this place more highly! Stayed here for a brief business trip and would absolutely stay again. Everyone on staff was incredibly warm and helpful. The rooms are spacious and totally unique- mine had a working fireplace and couches and chairs, as well as a thoroughly comfortable bed with great pillows. The breakfast included in the morning and the coffee/tea/hot chocolate available in the parlor 24 hours a day make this place so homey and comfortable. Its quirky and lived in, but 100% clean with reliably fast WiFi thats easy to connect to, a printer for any work you need

Really love the old world charm of this hotel. The staff are very friendly and the evening wine and morning breakfast were very nice. Location is great for exploring SF. Not a good place for anyone with mobility issues (too many stairs that can't be avoided.)

The White Swan Inn was a perfect choice for my stay in San Francisco. The location is central, staff is helpful and friendly and it is well maintained. They have morning buffet and evening wine and appetizers. The motif is charming and fun. My queen suite was spacious, quiet and comfortable. I look forward to staying there for future visits to San Francisco.
