Stayed here on travel when doing work at the Presidio. LOVED my room, especially the Japanese heated toilette seat. It is a great space, the owners are extremely friendly, and the breakfast really will make your day. Location was very convenient for me, but might not be so for other travelers. Pricing is very reasonable and the staff again is... More

We enjoyed our stay except for one thing. The owner failed to tell us that there was a remodeling project going on and in a bed and breakfast it's going to be noisy. So our anniversary afternoon that was to be romantic was spent listening to skill saws and hammering right across the hall. This is something I would think... More

I really enjoyed my one night at the Monte Cristo. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I chose it for the location and the staff helped me get to all the places I needed to get. The room I got was great, the bathroom was especially nice and well equipped. I also appreciated that there was tea and snacks... More

I enjoyed my stay at the Monte Cristo and I intend to come back. The owner was very helpful and kind. He even lugged my huge suitcase up the stairs for me. I actually stayed here twice in one week and both of the rooms I stayed in were nice and the beds were comfortable with fluffy bedding. However, the... More

My husband, daughter, and I stayed overnight at the Monte Cristo Inn. I had never heard of it before, and I really only chose it for the location (close to USF). The price was higher than what we usually allow ourselves, but for the convenience and the free (street) parking, I decided to book it. I am really glad I... More

Good beds, furniture, equipment and food. It was let down by peeling ceilings, dirty paint and unbelievably bad repairs and room paint. The shower grout was black in places and the linoleum curling at the edges. The B&B had a strong smell of cooking bacon from our arrival at noon until we left the next day.

Took the entire family to San Francisco for my mother's 80th birthday. This was the perfect place for us to stay as there were 19 of us of all ages! There were plenty of rooms and (more importantly!) baths! The place was clean, well kept...breakfast was wonderful...and the staff was fantastic!! The location is convenient to most any place one...

I stayed at Monte Cristo while my husband was a patient for four days at UCSF Mount Zion Hospital. I could not have picked a more perfect location. Staff was friendly and very helpful. I loved my room and the furnishings. I slept well every night, I enjoyed having a healthy and delicious breakfast each morning. Coffee and tea was... More

After reading the other reviews of the Monte Cristo, I'm disappointed that the stay that my wife and I had didn't compare to the stay that others had. To sum up our experience, it was really horrible and we would not stay here again. Below are the details. Booking - Booking a room online can be very deceiving. We booked... More

Let me start by apologizing, as your experience at The Monte Cristo was not as you had hoped. I will share your review with our breakfast lady and further to train her productivity. As to the breakfast selection, we do offer fresh fruits, yogurt, fresh juices, eggs cooked to order, house special bacon blue cheese quiche or eggs and bacon... More
