We have stayed at the San Franciscan every year for the past 6 years. Each year we look forward to our return. The owner lives there and stays on top of everything from a constantly running toilet to the pool chemicals, etc., etc. We love the feeling of security--one way in and one way out with cameras on the entry...

The San Franciscan is a great place for singles or couples to stay. I'm single and have stayed here and felt very safe. Great location only a block and a half to the beach, restaurants, nightlife, shopping and so much more. All of this is within walking distance. The apartments are clean and comfortable and if you need anything management... More

Excellent----Very Satisfied--The hotel is very quiet--so-the sleeping is very good. It has an excellent location in the heart of the Zona Romantica. The hotel is just a block and half - straight down the street- to the beach and beach restaurants. Only two blocks from several very good restaurants. Just a few blocks and over a bridge to the "old... More

Every time I stay at the San Franciscan I can't help but feel how lucky I am to have found this place. It is so close to everything (the beach,restaurants, clubs, markets, etc.) and yet still secluded, quiet and safe. I stay in a two bedroom/two bath unit with fantastic views of Banderas Bay and Los Arcos. (mornings on the... More

Life is great every time I return to the San Franciscan. Love the location. As a single woman I can get everywhere so safely and they take extra care to make sure I am comfortable. One block away from the most popular street for restaurants, cafes, lounges Olas Altas and Basillio Badillo. Love that the building is located near the... More

Have been staying in this hotel for many years and for the most part, people are very friendly. The owner takes care very promptly of certain problems that may arise i.e. burnt-out light bulb, leaky drain pipe. Location can t be beat - only 2 blocks from ocean. Very gay-friendly hotel. Salt water pool and very good size for swimming,... More

I have been at the San Franciscan for my second year. No matter if it is for 1 week, or 1 year, you will not be disappointed! The location is awesome, the building is very safe and secure, complete with a great salt water pool. The landlord bends over backwards for his tenants, all of your needs are met. I... More

See TwoGuysCalvary & baraboll for similar rating. Same problem of noisy construction. Owner was contentious about over $850 plus taxes of more than $169 for the week. Hilly and unpaved street leading to beach 3 blocks away made it inaccessible to us, Plus side, basic but adequate rooms, attractive architecture and pool. Braying burro and rooster neighbors added atmosphere. Close... More

I like to feel at home when I travel. I like to have an apartment and that is what it my room was and how I felt as soon as I entered the San Franciscan. Stayed for two blissful weeks. Beautiful salt water pool, garden areas with lots of quality furnishings to use my computer outside with the wifi. A... More

As a very seasoned traveller and an active user of Trip Advisor, I am amazed at the rating this so called resort has gotton on here. This place is far from a resort and for it's price point a complete rip off. First I will start with some positives, ths hotel is located in great location and the pool is... More
