    As a returning customer, I'm happy to report on yet another very pleasant stay. My wife was with me this time, and some good friends. They wondered if such a small hotel could really be such an excellent place to stay. I told them in advance that if they didn't like it, there would have to be something wrong with them! Of course, they loved it. There is no doubt that the GGH is where we will be staying when we return to San Francisco.

    Excellent stay

    Been staying here for 10 years and keep coming back. Lovely hotel with wonderful staff and food. Only recommendation, provide more outlets or strip cord for charging computer, phone, etc. (room 301). THANKS!

    What a lovely place, very friendly and homely, we particularly enjoyed the complimentary afternoon tea and cookies. Breakfast was tasty muffins and a very social affair in the small intimate lounge. Our room was small as I would have expected for the budget price but clean and comfortable.

    Great San Francisco Hotel

    This was a great recommendation from Frommers. This hotel was in the heart of the Union Square district, clean, comfortable and very personable. The staff was wonderul. We met several of the other guests and learned they are all "regulars" at this hotel whenever they come to San Francisco. We will be back as well.

    Conveniently located

    This is a great location, walking distance to Chinatown, Union Square, Market Street, Nob Hill, and public transportation, including BART, is nearby. Lovely coffee and tea at the continental breakfast, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. There's a cat who lives there and a dog who visits on weekends with the owners, so if you have allergies, this may not be the place for you.
