The food was very mediocre although the service was good until the end when I couldn't get the check. When I did get it, they tried to add a 20% gratuity to the check for two people and call it tax. This is just offensive. The idea of a mandatory gratuity on something like tea is really a joke and they tried to say the person who did it was gone so I had to wait 10 minutes to get it fixed. Pros + good service Cons - way overpriced http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html This hotel is a great location close to shopping, cafes, bars, nightlife, theatrical theaters (yet we didn't have tickets to a show so will go next time in town). Union Square and the cable car to the wharf is one block behind the hotel with many bars, cafes and restaurants are nearby, yet if you want the best restaurants to dine, reserve a time in advance as the concierge will assist you. The rooms are a bit snug yet quiet, and worked fine for two, the shower was hot and bed very comfy. We did order room service for breakfast and it comes from the diner next door, breakfast was warm, decent food and worked well to start our day. If anyone has ever stayed in NYC, the King George Hotel has a similar ambience like older hotels but truly neat to experience. The hotel service was friendly and greeted us day and night as my wife and I came and went about our schedule of things to see nearby. The hotel is close to Chinatown, the SFMOMA, and even the visitor?s center at the Powell Bart station a few blocks away, which really helped set up our days to visit the best of things in San Francisco. Wireless internet is free and it worked for what I needed. As a couple the hotel is great for visitors spending up to a weeks stay, the location, staff and hotel services make up for the smaller rooms, yet if I had to deal with a business trip I may want a Westin or Marriott but then that wouldn?t be on my dime. The price is very reasonable versus the other hotels in the same area. Note: When walking nearby other hotels that were up to $400+ a night I found that these ?Hollywood? hotels are great to visit for a drink or dinner but not worth it if you want to stay at a hotel where they are over-run by visitors to their restaurants and bars, smokers outside and their lobby areas so loud with techno music and hustling, that at the end of our day or night we returned to this quiet retreat, the King George Hotel, just a block away from the city chaos. Pros + Value (free internet access) & Location, Parking Garage is directly across from the hotel! Cons - smaller rooms but clean and quiet http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html I've attended 2 weddings at this overrated building. Granted, it's decent looking but the architecture and overall look of the building did not make me feel any sense of awe or reverence. My mom put it best when she said that the place looks more like a museum than a cathedral. The place looks very bland with all muted shades of brown and tan. With all the money spent on this place and all the hoopla made about it, I was expecting something else but I guess the archdiocese needed to shift some of their building funds to pay for all the legal fees they incurred for all the settlements from people that were "wronged" by not-so-righteous priests. Keep up the good work Mahoney. Cons - Nothing worth writing home about http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html I am a business traveller and after checking out the King George's website I was excited to stay at a hotel that looked stylish, had a good location and sounded friendly and welcoming (despite small-ish rooms mentioned on several reviews). Well, my experience was NOT at all what I was expecting. I arrived on a Friday afternoon around 2:00pm and pulled up to the front of the hotel where the Valet Parking sign was posted. I sat there for several minutes expecting someone to come out and greet me and valet my car. From my car, I could see into the hotel where the concierge sat at his desk in the lobby and where the staff stood behind the front desk. Neither were occupied with other customers, and yet neither one greeted me or even "waved" me in to let me know I could leave my car and come in. My companion finally went in and found out the I could leave the car and check in. After struggling to get my bags through the doors, which no one offered to hold open, I checked in. After checking in, I was given a room on the 8th floor with a queen size bed- the room was TINY as was the bathroom- seemed nice and clean however which was good. They then called and offered to put me in another room which was a bit bigger- again nice of them. Unfortunately, The new room was on the second floor and about the same size.. only the closet was a bit bigger.. a closet that contained the coffee maker! Odd! The TV looked like it had spent the last few years in a dorm room. Out the window was the back of a building. Felt a bit claustropobic, but I figured I'd be busy the next 5 days so maybe it wouldn't bother me that much. I then ordered room service for lunch, which arrived in styrofome containers and was NASTY. 2 hours after checking in, I checked back out- but not until being charged for a 1/2 day rate! For the Nasty lunch, and for valet parking- which I was told at that moment I need to pay cash for (of which I had none) and had to walk down the road in search of an ATM. Pros + Seemed Clean, has wireless internet for free, good location Cons - Tiny Rooms, BAD room service, mis-leading website, would be okay for a night but I would not recommend for an extended stay http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html The cathedral is beautiful. If you are from an area without Spanish influence I would highly recommend it. My friend and I were just walking around when we happened upon the cathedral. At the same time we looking around there were several tour groups and a wedding. Worth the walk. http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html When I first walked into Our Lady of Angels, I was surprised that the interior was so simple, but the longer I was there, the more I realized how complex it really was. The architecture is stark but overwhelming at the same time. The traditional stained glass windows are replaced by giant tapestries of the saints looking toward the altar, which tends to mute the walls but push focus forward. That and the slightly sloping of the marble floor almost give a swirling feeling of being drawn down to the front of the church. A great little touch is the angel trumpets that hang from the ceiling all have speakers that project the miced voices from the mass. There are small chapels, an underground mausoleum, outdoor gardens and a gift shop that can keep you there for hours after mass just touring around. http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html I feel so bad for the previous poster! I've been coming to have tea at the King George for about 3 or 4 years now, and have had nothing but wonderful service and great tea. I feel like I'm walking into someone's home; the last time I enjoyed tea here, the gentleman gave us extra goodies. He is a real sweetheart. I usually go on Sunday afternoons, and never have a problem with seating. It's such a calm, quiet room; great respite from the busy streets on a hectic day. Pros + Friendly Service, Attention to detail, Handmade goodies http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html This was a well planned out December treat for a hard day of shopping. What a complete disappointment. We were ignored by both waiters even though they weren't busy. One waiter obviously went out of his way to ignore us and give preferential treatment to other guests. We were dressed nicer than the other guest so I don't think it was because we disgraced their ambience. Finally we were served by the busgirl who forgot to give us cups. The food was mediocre at best. Waste of time, waste of money. Pros + Nothing, Nothing, Nothing Cons - , LAME SERVICE, Mediocre food http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html Great location, updated rooms are warm and fun! Staff was very knowledgeable about San Francisco and gave me the inside things to do and how to do them easily. Great rates, walked everywhere and safe for a single woman. I'll be back as this hotel is affordable, clean and the best in San Francisco in the boutique class. Other hotels in SF have the its 'Not my Job" attitude but the King George made me feel like I was the only guest.... Royal treatment for a great price... ENJOY! Pros + Rate may inc. Parking http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html I have been a guest at the King George since I was a child. The best qualities of this hotel are the location and the staff. The employees are welcoming and helpful. The rooms are small, and need for closet space, but the proximity to Union Square and the friendliness of the staff far out weigh the size. http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html Stayed for 2 nights while visiting San Francisco during a tour of South California. Because we had a car it was convenient to use the public car park opposite for which we paid a special price because we stayed at the King George. The hotel was seconds, literally, from Union Square which was handy when we carried all my wife's... http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html I always have a hard time sleeping in hotel beds because of discomfort. This hotel was the exception. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean and pleasant. The rooms are a little small, but there is so much to do within walking distance that you wouldn't want to stay indoors too long. I would stay here again without a... http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html I was hesitant to book a stay at the King George due to some of the previous reviewers' comments regarding the small rooms and the thin walls...

It is true that the rooms are very small - however, the space is used very efficiently, and... http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html We stayed 3 nights in the hotel. Great location and nice clean (small) rooms. Good bed and friendly staff. Whilst packing our bags on the last day we found out that all our luggage was searched during our stay. It was done very conscious and careful that's why we discovered it that late. Result: Laptop stolen (with 2 weeks of... http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html I was a bit leary due to some of the mixed reviews for the King George. My stay could not have been pleasanter. I arrived early and my room was ready and waiting. The room was small but clean, recently redecorated and the bed was great. The bathroom was a bit shabby but the towels were fluffy, and there was... http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html My husband and I spent 2 nights at the King George while vacationing in San Francisco and the area. We wanted to stay in the Union Square area without paying too much. We were very happy with the King George and plan on returning! The hotel had lots of charm and the location was perfect! A very short walk to... http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html Nice, comfortable room, I booked it the day before and after fees and charges it was almost $200 but the location and general amenities made it almost worth that. It can be had for in the $130 range and that would be about right. When I stay in the City (which is frequently) I'm really only there to lay my... http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html I wonder if hotels give you their less desirable rooms if you book through hotels.com (Expedia)? The hotel was quite basic. Although I'd reserved only 1 room through hotels.com, at check-in, they had reservations for 3 rooms for me. Since hotels.com had charged me for only one room, I didn't worry about it. The reception staff were courteous. The location... http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html This is a nice hotel, if the decor is a little dated, but the dated nature of the place is the real problem. Our room faced the back and it was very noisy when we opened the window to let cool air in. Nighttime was the real problem as we could not sleep with the window open as there was... http://www.yellowbot.com/king-george-hotel-san-francisco-ca.html Stayed for four nights. Room a bit small and could do with upgrade but otherwise fine. Great location, only 2 mins walking distance to Union Sq and around corner from great pub, Foley's.
