Central to everything
Posted Jul 17, 2014Pros: I liked the breakfast that was included. We could walk to restaurants from the hotel and to most of the attractions. The bed was very comfortable.
Cons: Maybe a new faucet in the bathroom.
Location: We viewed the fireworks from Coit Tower. China town is five blocks away. We rode a cable car.
We stayed six nights at the White Swan Inn. We enjoyed the 60's British music in the lower food and sitting area. The 5:00 guest gathering is a nice touch. The room had a king sized bed, love seat, chair and fireplace. There was no Air Condition but it wasn't needed. We stayed July 3 - 9, 2014. I was able to enjoy several naps while my husband watched the World Cup. The hotel is small, charming and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We are glad we stayed here.

Nice and clean hotel
Posted Jun 21, 2014The hotel was very clean and the room was spacious. We loved the decor. The Complimentary breakfast was very good. The staff was pleasant enough, but they were in no way willing to go the extra mile to accommodate newbies to San Francisco. We desperately needed a concierge. Most amazing Italian resturant on the corner of Mason and Sutter!! Best in SF!!!

The hotel is centrally located and convenient.
Posted May 29, 2014Pros: The staff. Their service was excellent. The mid afternoon cookies and tea service was great as well. Andy, Zach and Ellla are THE BEST.
Cons: Wine service area could do with more small tables to rest the wine glasses. Turn around of clean cutlery during breakfast hour would be nice,
Location: China Town, Macy's Union Square, Walgreens, Liquor is easily accessbile.
The staff are very helpful with tips on travel. The always available tea, coffee service is excellent. We had a relaxed, comfortable stay. The time just flew back. The weather was super and the walks to Macy's and Union Square were charming. China town is just 10-12 minutes walk. The tram and cable car is close enough to benefit use of a 1 or 3 day transit pass.

White Swan Inn
Posted May 6, 2014Pros: quiet clean and safe with good buffet breakfasts.
Cons: nothing
Location: Chinatown and cable car rides very close and Fisherman,s Wharf a 30 minute walk.
White Swan Inn in San Francisco was well situated for touring in a safe, clean end of the city. Public transit was easy to navigate and access and tourist attractions were within walking or a short cable car ride. Chinatown was a 10 minute walk with great restaurants. Daily buffet breakfast was filling and you were god to go until supper and in addition coffee and cookies were available all day. Starting at 5PM wine and hors d'ouevres were served and a great way to meet fellow guests.

Great place to enjoy San Fran!
Posted Mar 17, 2014Pros: Staff, food, rooms.
Location: Very nice area, just at the bottom of Nob Hill and approximately 4 blocks from Chinatown.
The White Swan Inn added to our wonderful San Francisco experience. The inn staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The room was lovely, actually just redone with new carpet, upholstering, and wallpaper. We were a bit concerned we were going to be too warm as it was warm outside, but found a window fan in the closet, making it perfectly fine. The 5:00 p.m. hors d'oeuvres were wonderful as were the breakfasts. Loved it all!
