Great location
Clean, comfortable,and very charming room. While the room wasn’t spacious it wasn’t cramped at all. There were also a lot of books in the room that I thought was a very nice touch. I only stayed one night so I didn’t have time to read one but would have loved sitting by the fire reading a book if I did. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful. Room isn’t particularly soundproof but that is to be expected with an older building, area is quiet so it wasn’t a huge deal. Very convenient for Grace Cathedral, 5 minute walk if that. Unless there is a back entrance I didn’t see it isn’t wheelchair accessible, but I’m sure that’s true for a lot of the buildings in SF. If I come back for another concert at the cathedral I will definitely stay here again. Also plenty of dining options very close.

Great European Style Hotel in the ❤️ of SF
Excellent location. Very cozy hotel. Great breakfast. Mattress was a little too soft. The nightly wine and cheese is a very nice touch. Close to cable car routes and transit. Highly recommended.

One of my most favorite rooms I've ever stayed in. It felt like home esp with the little fireplace. Really conveniently walkable. Only thing I would change is the motion sensor in the bathroom light switch, it doesn't stay on very long and you have to keep waiving at it. That is a small detail though, I was generally very happy with this stay.

the staff were really nice, especially in the bar. The location is good, close to Union Square and Chinatown, and there are not many up or downhill to get there. the building itself is really old and also the ammities were really old and I think they need improvement or better to be replaced with new ones.

White Swan Hotel is very charming, with helpful staff, interesting common areas, and thoughtful touches like late afternoon tea & wine service. While the rooms are very charming with a bed and breakfast feel, we found there to be a lack of good lighting.

While this property is charming, the downside is how noisy it is from street activity. And I suspect the guests above us had a child? Running back & forth.

A Gem of a Hotel
We had to find a hotel quickly in the Union Square area of San Francisco and Hotels.com guided us to the White Swan Inn. It is a gem of a find. The staff was helpful and the room and facilities a wonderful historic gem. We'll be back.

Love this place. It is a quirky old hotel that has kept the character of the neighborhood. The free breakfast is good but is lacking protein. They have boiled eggs and yoghurt every day.
