I've always wanted to stay in a creepy mansion-type place and this place was perfect. However, I'm a big wussy and get scared easily. This place was scary, and it didn't help that I checked in at night. They have one clerk on duty in a study right beside the front door. They are pretty friendly people. We stayed in... more

Stayed in the Rosenkavalier- very cold room, lumpy/bouncy bed (but the bedding was fair), large bathroom, but small toilet space (coffin like)...it was shabby 1890's meets 1970...strange. The "in-room library" had a few classics (Milton, Shakespeare, Stendhal), a pleasant surprise. My husband and I may stay again after the renovation. Maybe. more

My wife and I decided that we would visit San Francisco for our honeymoon and found the Archbishop recommended in several travel books and decided that it would be a great place to spend three nights. The Archbishop operates like a bed and breakfast and is extremely unique. Breakfast is delivered to your room each morning along with the pastry... more

My wife and I stayed at the Archbishop's Mansion for three days and found it to be marvelous. The magnificent building and ornate furnishings are an absolute treasure. The staff (Melanie, Jamir, and the wonderful lady who prepared such a delightful breakfast) were enthusiastic about sharing their local knowledge and ensured their guests were aware of all options in relation... more

This is the kind of place you really want to love, but can't. Cool old building, but the rooms smell musty and moldy --and they are. You pay over $200 a night and get a television smaller than a portable radio and which was made in 1960 and looked like it fell off the back of a truck. And breakfast... more

We recently enjoyed a wonderful week's stay at Archbishop's Mansion. Had been recommended by a friend and it exceeded our expectations. We actually stayed in two rooms during the week - Madame Butterfly and Der Rosencavelier - both were beautiful! Staff was outstanding (spoke with Melanie most often - she was fabulous!)- but each one was very friendly and helpful... more

We just stayed at the Archbishop's Mansion and had a wonderful time. Staff friendly and helpful. The hotel had a B&B flavor; however, you did not have to participate in the guest activities if you did not want to. We really enjoyed the history and beauty of the hotel (some renovations are needed, but nothing that detracted from the stay).... more

I just stayed at the Archbishop's Mansion in SF. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. This is a bed and breakfast and the breakfast was a joke; it consisted of toast, coffee and jam. You can have a hard boiled egg if you wanted it and a glass of milk. The rooms were very different. First of all,... more

Whoever coined the legendary term - "being waited on hand and foot" - must have stayed a couple of nights at the Archbishop's Mansion. *Disclaimer: pardon the extreme corniness, but that's the best way to describe the place. It all began when I gave my girlfriend a Christmas gift to San Francisco. We stayed in Union Square the first two... more
