Excellent location with old San Francisco vibes and easy walking distance to all the sites

J4063TWcathyd (Cumming, Georgia) on May 22, 2026

Excellent location within walking distance to cable cars, Pier39, Alcatraz cruise, Ghirardelli Square, and great restaurants along Fisherman’s Wharf. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating from the moment we arrived. Room was very clean and up to date and the entire facility is very nicely maintained. Would highly recommend!

Luis, Isaac, Brendan - People Make the Difference!

BrianDowler (Mammoth Lakes, California) on May 20, 2026

The location is fantastic and perfect for those with pups - easy access to a big grassy lawn, the beach and plenty of dog friendly food options a few steps away. The thing that made the stay perfect though was the staff - cheers to Luis, Brendan, and Isaac (as well as the night clerk whose name I cannot remember) for their accomodatijg and personable responses to every situation. The Argonaut is better for their presence. See you next time!

Best hotel in San Francisco

Richard H (Blackpool, United Kingdom) on May 20, 2026

We had the most amazing holiday staying at the Argonaut. We were greeted by Luiz who checked us in and explained everything we needed to know. Our room was lovely, lots of space and a super comfy bed. The hotel had left a message and a bottle of wine as it was our wedding anniversary. We hadn’t expected it but it was a lovely surprise as was the view from our room 416. We could see the world famous Buena Vista bar to our left, the cable car turning point in front of us and the Golden Gate Bridge to our right. The location is ideal. Steps away from the sandy cove and swimming club and a stroll along the promenade to pier 39. The hotel food was wonderful. We had continental breakfast but upgraded a few times as the food looked so good. We also ate in the hotel on a couple of occasions in the evening and wasn’t disappointed. Their chowder was better than all the other places we had tried. Overall the hotel has a warm relaxed vibe with plenty of break out areas to relax and unwind. The staff couldn’t do enough and we will definitely be coming back.

Wonderful hotel with amazing service and atmosphere

This hotel is a true gem. Spotless rooms and great service all around. Ideal location near Ghiradelli and a space with great ambiance. Everyone goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and not just another number. This is my "go-to" hotel destination every time I'm in SF and I travel a lot as a consultant. It makes the constant travel feel more like "home."
