Horrible is the best word to describe this hotel. It is old and badly taken care of. The rooms are cheap, dirty, the mattress is old and the covers and blankets must be from world war one. The breakfast is served in the lobby. Yeah, in the lobby, most of the people standing, and they offer coffee and croissant, thats... More

This pleasant hotel is great value, clean and staff are all friendly. Complimentary breakfast is very nice with a selection of fresh pastries, muffins and fresh fruit. Great location also with only a short walk to Union Square and a good selection restaurants very close by!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Beresford Arms - the room was very spacious, we had free wi-fi, the staff were polite and friendly, breakfast was included which was fresh fruits and pastries. The location was great only a few blocks from Union Square and central to many cafes and restaurants. The staff assisted in our booking airport transfers... More

The hotel has a central location, just a few blocks from Union square. The building and the rooms have an elegant style. Try to get a room not facing Post street. The noise is incredible. Breakfest is very poooor in European standrards, but would be OK for US. :) The receptionist lady was very helpful whenever we had any questions.... More

When booking an accomodation in a city you aren't familiar with you rely on the internet and the reviews of others. This hotel is convienently placed (although we found out later that it was in the "tenderloin" area which is supposed to be bad) we had no issues with safety, although did not walk around in the middle of the...

While I can't say my stay was bad at all, it was simply decent. Comfortable, but lacking. Rooms were very dated, however clean. Huge bathroom with a bidet (which was leaky). Great pricing for a good sized room. Pricing on incidentals wasn't a ripoff, which was nice. Very limited TV options on a dated TV. A tad farther from Union... More

The refrigerator was stocked with a bottle... More

We loved our stay at the Beresford Arms. This was our first trip to San Francisco and we were enchanted by the location. The place itself shows its years, but in a delightful way. The room was giant, the staff was attentive and accomodating, the breakfasts were delightful and we would definitely return on later trips. The only two issues... More

I spent two nights at the hotel and was expecting a little more. My biggest complaint was the noise from the street I stayed in 602 and it was really noisy all night long - street cleaners, garbage collection and people rummaging through the curbside trash for empties. I imagine all rooms on this side of the hotel (along Post... More
