No hot items at breakfast. Property and furnishings are older ("vintage") if you are looking for something more modern.

I wasn't sure what to expect about the property because I know most of the affordable hotels in San Francisco are older. The staff was super friendly and the hotel was so cute. There is a downstairs common area that has multiple fireplaces, a daily happy hour and continental breakfast. It was a nice place to relax after a busy day sightseeing in SF. The location was perfect - walking distance to Union Square and easily accessible to transportation. Our room was much larger that I expected and had a working fireplace which was a nice surprise.

Breakfast should have more variety.

Wine and nibbles during the evening was great.

We experienced amazing services from the staff both at the reception and at the dining area! Hats off to the one bringing the concept. We wished we could have stayed more!

The room was large, with a fireplace. There were comfortable chairs to sit in. The hotel is small and feels homey and comfortable. I loved the afternoon wine and cheese. There are several places to sit quietly in comfortable chairs- with fireplaces.

The room for one person was large, clean, and well-ventilated. They accommodated me even though I arrived 3 hours before the check-in time. The hotel is located close to restaurants, grocery markets and bus stops.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

The style (Victorian) and the old-fashion elevator was amazing.

We had a stroller and it was a bit exhausting

The hotel was excellent! The staff was very accommodating. We had fresh sheets and clean towels every day. The hotel is very central which was really convenient.

No real issues to report. One little comment: The heat in room 56 seemed to be slightly on 24/7, so we left all but fire escape windows open for cooler air, which let in a little outside noise. Not a deal breaker at all. Wish the temp could be regulated at the room. Maybe just hot water rising in the pipes?

G.M. Louis checked us in and greeted us each evening upon our return. He is very personable— a real gem! Everything was great except the old slow elevator, so we took the stairs to 5 and it was really quite fine. Breakfast area is awesome. Truly comfortable and well-run.

Nothing, it was all good.

Differing from more modern hotels, White Swan is full of charm; the decoration is tasteful and coherent. Moreover, all the staff are helpful, polite, willing to be of service. The place is spotless , wel thought of. These people know their trade and make it work. This is a place I'd love to return to .

If I will come back to San Francisco, I will definitely come back to the White Swan: the position is great, the staff is kind and helpful, and the room is great (large room, fireplace in the room, comfortable bed, good breakfast, complimentary sodas in the room). The plus is definitely the complimentary wine tasting before dinner, together with cheese and grapes, a very nice idea to relax a little bit.

Free continental breakfast is ok but could do with a bit more variety

Spacious and unique type of room, love the fireplace and the butler’s space with fridge and sink. The happy hour with free wine and nibbles is a nice touch ! Well located !

What a lovely hotel! The employees were very nice and helpful, we always received a "welcome" or "have fun" as we entered and left the hotel. It was extremely clean considering the age of the building (1920's)! The continental breakfast hit the spot and gave us energy to start an active day of site seeing. After the busy day it was so nice to relax with a glass of wine and some nibbles. The location was good, the walk to the bus stop was only a few city blocks away, we felt safe and the street was kept very clean. There is a little market across the street which came in handy a few times. I would highly recommend the White Swan Inn to others and I hope to be able to return at a later date.

Wonderful property! The breakfast rooms and food were excellent. We stayed in the 2-room accessible suite, and found everything to our liking. Service was helpful and non-intrusive, and the hotel had a ton of charm. Drinks in fridge were a nice added touch.
