After reading reviews of bed and breakfasts in San Francisco we chose the White Swan Inn for our nine-day visit, and were very pleased with our choice! We found the front desk staff to be extremely helpful and friendly, with everything from restaurant recommendations to phoning in our airline confirmation promptly so that we had excellent seats on our long... more

My husband and I just stayed at the White Swan for 2 nights. We wanted to be near Powell St./Union Square so our college-age son could take BART in to meet us. Location-wise, it was fine. I do have to agree with the reviewer who found the rooms dated and musty. That was my impression. The room, while spacious, was... more

My wife and I were not happy with this hotel. There is no air-conditioning and the noise between rooms is very poor. For the amount of money we had to pay ($240.00 +) we don't consider this hotel worthy of the price being asked. The breakfast was just adequate. If you want a quiet, comfortable hotel to stay I would... more

Our family recently spent 2 nights at the white swan inn. the staff was gracious and helpful but the rooms seemed a little dated and musty. For the money its still a good place to stay but I think its gone down a few notches since our last visit. more

I was initially nervous to book a hotel on-line that no one I know had ever heard of or stayed at. What a wonderful surprise. The rooms are a nice size, the decor pleasant and the breakfast and dining area superb. I highly recommend the White Swan. more

The Joie de Vivre hotel website recommended the White Swan Inn based on my hotel preferences. I had never visited San Francisco before and wanted a comfortable place to come home to in the evening since I was travelling alone and didn't want to stay out late at night. I stayed in Room 36 for a week, and just loved... more

There is no rating category high enough for this delightful boutique hotel. It was WAY beyond my expectations. There is not enough space here to do this place justice. The room was wonderful, and having a fireplace to use in June was a treat. The front desk staff was helpful every time we needed them. The wine reception each evening... more

It 's a nice way to relax after busy days of traveling and sight seeing. -Breakfast are very convient and quick. Fresh fruit is really... more
