Monte Cristo Reviews bed and breakfast - San Francisco, California. San Francisco Bed and Breakfast Inns.

Monte Cristo

If the walls of the Monte Cristo could talk, what stories they could tell, for this remarkable building has been a part of San Francisco since 1875. When the great fire swept the city after the 1906 earthquake, homes were put to the torch on Van Ness Avenue to create a firebreak, and the 'Saloon' not only survived, it served as a refuge for the newly homeless after the quake.

Under new management since 2008, this European-style B&B is convenient to the entire city and is at the junction of three great neighborhoods, Presidio Heights, Pacific Heights, and Laurel Heights. It is in one of the cleanest neighborhoods in San Francisco with abundant street parking. It is also only two blocks to the elegantly restored Victorian shops, Zagat-rated restaurants and antique stores on Sacramento Street. It's within walking distance to shopping on Union Street and Fillmore Street.

The Monte Cristo is a quirky place, with some unusual room characteristics. The innkeepers do a great job with the breakfast and service, so it's a very good value for someone who is spending time in San Francisco.

If you don't mind a non-standard hotel room/spartan accomodations, this place is great. Good location, a block from the thoroughfare so not noisy. No complaints really. The bed we got was not terribly comfortable, but it was passable, and the door... read more

Innkeeper Response

The Monte Cristo is now under new management, and we have just installed new Simmons beds. And for the first time in the history of the hotel, we have Wifi :-) The hotel was built in 1875 and it still has many of the original mortise locksets.
