Pros +
- Lovely to have the evening fruit & cheese/crackers in the evening and the breakfast was excellent! Staff were all very accommodating and knowledgeable. We liked the stay so well we booked a future visit.
- a welcome cocktail and the bartender, fireplace, lady at the reception, breakfast, all!
- Very quaint and old fashioned, but the bed was still comfortable, the water pressure good, and the common areas and room felt very clean.
Cons -
- Front sidewalk needs to be pressure washed.
- People with mobility issues should know that there are about 10 marble stairs to traverse to enter and exit.
- It smells like old

Good location and lot of ammenities
It smells like old
Cozy boutique hotel with complimentary services like breakfast and a glass of wine. The fireplaces give the hotel a very homely feel and the staff was excellent.
The walls were thin which meant you could hear other guests arriving back at the hotel. There was however not much noise from the surrounding area, and as there are only a few rooms it was in my opinion only midly inconvenient.
I didn’t have breakfast I had to be at a meeting. I liked the cozy warm feeling of my room. The check in lash wax very friendly warm ancc sc helpful
Furniture could have been touched up a bit
The convince of location, friendly staff, clean.
Superb
The room was stuffy, musty, unventilated.
If you are truly interested in an older style hotel, this will work well for you. Mattress was comfy (not memory foam, thank goodness), room had an armoire for clothes, and the corner cozy queen room had a (small) bathtub. Breakfast was weirdly bad, despite good options on paper (oats were gluey, "pastries" were just mid croissants and muffins); coffee was somewhat weak. Wine and cheese were unremarkable, as well, but the service was good.It is somewhat annoying to go to White Swan for breakfast. Location is good--close to Nob Hill, Chinatown, and Union Square.
Cute design and very comfortable bed. Lots of space in the room too.
The noise! It’s an older hotel in a loud neighborhood. Bring your earplugs.
Bed was soft and comfortable. Clean facilities. All day coffee. Water bottles available. Friendly and accommodating staff
Floors creaky and allow for sound from other rooms to carry easily to the floor below or next room over. Elevator is old fashioned and a bit annoying to have to open and close manually, especially when moving luggage. The lack of a ramp or elevator to the lobby meant I had to carry my luggage up a set of stairs to get into the building to check in.
The staff was friendly, the breakfast was good, and I appreciated the hotel’s interior design concept.
The staff was courteous and friendly. Check out time was laer than most hotels. The water pressure was good.
The hotel's walls were super thin so you can hear every step and door slam. It was impossible to sleep and get good rest.
Helpful, friendly staff, unique decor, good value, clean, good location
We were very happy with hotel especially considering the great pricing. The room was small but it felt cozy, especially with fireplace. And although the furniture felt a little outdated the bed was super comfortable. The bathroom was simple, but well designed and it felt clean. Also, there was unlimited access to free water bottles, sparkling water, and coffee, along with free breakfast and 5pm snack w/ wine and the location was easy walking distance to lots of restaurants and union square.
What a GEM of a property in a centrally located area of the City. The room was charming, quiet, and well appointed. The breakfast was generous - and offered in a VERY cozy, charming area of an equally unique, delightful property next door. The to go cups are large (thank YOU!), and they serve coffee, decaf , hot cocoa and Numi teas all day/night for your convenience. They also offer a very nice wine and 'nibbles' (cheese, grapes, crackers) each evening. I cannot say enough good things about this property and we will definitely return. We have already told our friends who live in the Bay Area and just outside of it about Petite Auberge as it's affordable, great value for the dollar, charming (not just another giant, impersonal hotel) and a real gem - this is the ONLY place (or their sister property, White Swan) when we come back to the City.
There was nothing not to like. It was really a terrific property. It's the only place we will stay from now on.
Excellent location and a helpful staff. Everything was clean and working. Some may be put off that this is like staying in a 1940s vintafe hotel but we loved it, a slice of old San Francisco.
Such a cute place! The staff was always so helpful. Loved the unlimited coffee and drinks! A great central location too.
Loved everything!
Very friendly staff. Lovely room and cozy common areas. Great breakfast.
