    "Location good"  by H from Cambs

    Breakfast poor as the hotel had no access to a kitchen so ordered food in. Free wine tasting each evening during happy hour but no beer, spirits etc available. No fridge in the room but there was ice available if required. Access to free internet was helpful with 2 computers available. Room small but dressing room nearly as big as bedroom. Bathroom tiny.

    "Will stay there again"  by T from Bangkok

    The hotel was in great location, close to the union square with lots of activity day and night, right at the cable car stop, i.e. hop on to the cable car and off to the fisherman’s wharf if that is one of the things you like to do in San Francisco. The room was cozy, clean and quiet. It was a little cold for us because the heater kicks in only at night. We will definitely go back to stay there again.

    "Great value in San Francisco"  by P from Edinburgh Scotland

    We stayed in the Larkspur Hotel, San Francisco a few days ago at the beginning of our Californian roadtrip & really enjoyed our welcome to the city here. The rooms are clean & central being really close to Union Square. We particularly enjoyed having free email access & a happy hour too!

    "Nice hotel and great location"  by R from Manchester

    This is definitely somewhere I would stay again. The location is excellent for exploring San Francisco, being about 50 metres from a cable car stop and within easy walking distance of the muni and BART stations. The main shopping district is more or less on the doorstep as well. The hotel has recently been renovated and the furnishings and decoration are in good condition. The room I stayed didn't have air con though so I am not sure if this would be an issue at certain times of the year.
