The hotel

A unique boutique hotel with plenty of vintage accents and a sprinkle of British flair, the King George will soon feel like a home-away-from-home. Chill out in Mason’s Social Club and Lounge, a buzzing hangout that’s great for a game of pool or darts, or for a happy hour drink. Afterwards, you can stroll to Union Square’s restaurants and theatres — or jump on the cable cars to Chinatown and Fisherman’s Wharf.

The receptionist and bellman was so kind, and the security is very safe as they must ask, what is your reservation .I felt super safe and the rooms had a Nespresso machine for coffee or tea. I also loved the shower with a bathtub connected. It made me think of the older victorian homes.

In SF you can't beat this location in this price range. The staff was super helpful. We arrived around midnight and despite that, they were keen to hold a quick briefing about the whereabouts in SF, where to go, and which neighborhoods to look out for.

The hotel is very old but well maintained. Unfortunately smell of "old" is present. Rooms are small but cozy, although the carpeting is old and stainsy. Overall for the location the hotel and the price it is of a great value

Location is everything....and just as well. The staff at The King George were helpful and courteous. We did not eat at the hotel during our 5 night stay so no comment on food. However, if you are not 'small people' :-) avoid The King George. There was literally NO room whatsoever in our room. We lived out of our suitcases for the 5 days as there… Read more
Location is everything....and just as well. The staff at The King George were helpful and courteous. We did not eat at the hotel during our 5 night stay so no comment on food. However, if you are not 'small people' :-) avoid The King George. There was literally NO room whatsoever in our room. We lived out of our suitcases for the 5 days as there were 4 or 5 hangers in the smallest wardrobe I have ever seen. We fell over the cases on a few occasions as we had to walk on them to get around the bed. The location is really good. If you are staying 2 nights with hand luggage only, go for it! Read less
