Great stay

Leisa I on Feb 08, 2025

Had a great stay at Argonaut Hotel. Terrific location, friendly staff and the rooms were roomy and really lovely. We had a few meals at the restaurant in the hotel and very meal was great. So close to the trolley station and other restaurants and shops at Fisherman's Wharf. Would highly recommend staying at this hotel

Perfect location for sight-seeing

As first time visitors to San Francisco we were looking for somewhere central and near Fisherman’s Wharf. After much research we booked this hotel for a week and do not regret it for one moment. We arrived late at night to a friendly and efficient welcome and were given our room on the third floor. It was clean and well presented whilst being a very good size. The King bed was extremely comfortable leading to great sleep every night. Air-con worked well and the overall ambiance was perfect for the whole week. The bathroom was well appointed with expected toiletries and fluffy towels. My only criticism would be that the showers are the “typical” American ones with hardly any pressure and a head fixed to the wall. Not great for an enjoyable shower experience but the water was hot and it was ok. The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect. Would return if coming back to the area.

JC in the Blue Mermaid is #1

Outstanding hotel and accommodations. Rock solid build… no noise. Love the nautical theme throughout. This is a first class property and location. You must stay here be ye a land lubber or a seasoned Navy Captain. I will miss this hotel when I need to hoist my anchor.

Best hotel experience

Liz H on Feb 07, 2025

Wow, such an amazing hotel and experience! Huge huge shoutout to Tenzin for going above and beyond and making our stay super special, easy and comfortable - really felt the hospitality from him and all the staff, from the valets like Domingo and the amazing cleaning staff. Truly an amazing experience - thank you so much!!!

This hotel brings shame on San Francisco’s tourism industry

joellenr2019 (Huntington Beach, California) on Feb 02, 2025

I don’t understand the positive reviews. My room was full of mold and mildew. The furniture was worn way beyond shabby chic, there were holes in the carpets and there were stains on the bed skirt. No soundproofing: I could hear coughing, talking and worse. I don’t often write reviews but I feel compelled to warn others, especially because I love SF and hate that some tourists will leave embittered by their experience at this hotel.
