Argonaut Hotel

Nice hotel great location for tourists.

Authentic, very charming,

Big room. Close to tourist things.

area is noisy. The room shutters did not adequate keep the lights out. For the price paid not as expected.

Location, close walking distance to attractions.

Parking was a little more than I expected. But the valet was excellent.

Fantastic location with many top attractions walkable. Great decor throughout the hotel. Very charming. Rooms clean and spacious. Staff mostly helpful and friendly. Jacob from reception was great. Restaurant staff good too. I have allergies and they were very understanding. Much appreciated.

They gave me a room for disabled people. Meant the shower was at waist height and could only be operated when handheld. They were probably hoping I wouldn't notice but the rails everywhere gave it away. Pretty annoying not being able to stand under the shower given how much we paid for the room. They have a resort fee. You get freebies such as restaurant credit, coffee vouchers, discounts but they nowhere near compensate for the fee. Other stuff they claim is part of the resort fee, should just be standard in a hotel that size. Such as maintenance of the gym. Also, certain things included are harder to access than need be. For example, you can get free water, but you have to ask at reception. If you drink the water in the room, you have to pay the exorbinate minibar cost. You get free coffee but have to get vouchers from reception and it's just out of a thermos anyway. Argonaut should either dump the fee or try providing more value. We arrived at 1pm on check-in day (notified beforehand). They said they would try get our room ready early and call us. We never received a call. Ended up just returning to the hotel at regular check-in time. While I understand there are no guarantees with early check-in, they have a large check-in/checkout window (5hrs). I find it hard to believe nothing was ready even slightly earlier then 4pm. It seemed they just couldn't be bothered. Nothing was mentioned when we eventually went to check-in. To be clear we still enjoyed our stay at this hotel. This stuff didn't create a bad experience. It was just the difference between an 8 and a 10.

The staff were great, friendly and helpful, the room was serviced daily and impeccably cleaned. Good sized room and bathroom, comfy bed.

We found the room stuffy with no opening windows, the AC was too noisy to sleep when running, it did cool the room enough for us to sleep well after we’d turned it off.

Great location - so much to walk to nearby, beautiful rooms

Small complaint but far walk from room to elevator or staircase. Small convenience shop would have been welcome.

This was a family event during the Christmas season. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location and condition of the hotel was exceptional. All were happy.

The Mermaid bar staff were busy and a little scattered. It took time for them to notice people and offering coffee for people before their order.

Staff persons were responsive, friendly, and engaging. The location beckoned one to walk and experience SF in a more intimate way in that regard. The bay view room and lobby common areas were clean and easy to navigate.

While I get it, I preferred the non-Christmas music as I found it a bit disorienting

Absolutely brilliant location and the hotel public areas are quite funky with the dockyards original beams in the reception area. Rooms are fairly spacious and clean.

The showers are over bath with a shower curtain which is always a let down. The biggest issue is the insulation within the building (or lack of it) as you can hear people talking in the room next door and every word when people are walking down the corridors. You definitely need earplugs here!

Location and cleanliness plus it’s so solid, the rooms are soundproof.

Full lounge area, no dressing gowns or slippers provided, very small bathroom with ancient shower.
