Top Kimball Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Me gustó mucho. Lo recomiendo"

The Metro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great!"

Twin Peaks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Was hesitant to stay with the shared bathroom but honestly was never a problem during my 3 night stay, there are two bathrooms/showers in each hall from what I saw, and the sink in the room is nice to get ready in your room. The bed in the room was comfortable too. Other reviews mention the noise/thin walls. Maybe it was a slow week and my room was towards the middle of the building but it never was especially loud, even during the night. The location in the Castro is great, close to Safeway/cafes/restaurants/public transit. I would see the cleaning ladies in the morning and say hi and they seemed nice, the whole place was always clean, the only negative would be the soaps in the bathroom and hand sanitizer in the bathrooms were completely empty, I suspect they don't refill them."

Casa Loma Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lowe budget hotel, I like it was super clean, perfect to sleep only, I only have one complain the room above mine was making a lot of noise."

The Hotel Castro San Francisco

I had a backyard ground floor room. Felt very home like. The rooftop patio gives awesome views. The location is incredibly convenient for all things castro. Will absolutely stay here again and again."

The Monte Cristo

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute, quaint, and cozy Bed & Breakfast. The staff was amazing, always courteous and friendly, breakfast was excellent. Plenty of snacks and pastries are available for guests. There is a separate TV / reading room by the lobby with comfortable chairs and is a nice place to unwind. You won't find a better place to stay in this neighborhood."
