Beware the rear side!

A well-run, friendly, quiet hotel. Clean rooms, an ample breakfast and helpful staff all deserve a positive mention. But make sure that you book a room looking out on the street instead of one overlooking the rear parking lot, as this parking lot also serves as a back entrance to a noisy restaurant. Loud music, the banging of car doors, the shouting of late night revellers into the small hours are all part of the questionable joys of occupying one of these rooms. The hotel itself has tried to deal with this noise problem - without success, however. Therefore: beware the rear side!
Our favotite hotel anywhere, anytime!

We love the Andrews. It's where we stay whenever we are in San Francisco and it's where we suggest our friends stay. Any number of hotels claim to be "European style" but the only one we know of that truly is is the Andrews. It's true of the rooms. It's true of the staff. It's true of the restaurant! During our most visit we discovered the restaurant and ate there each night of our stay. That wasn't our plan. It was just the way it worked out after eating there the first night. In short we love everything about the Andrews and can't wait to visit again.

Historical Traveller Reviews of The Andrews Hotel
Amazing value
from Sundae1966
I stayed at the Andrews in July 2004. I was really impressed by the personal style, the location and the breakfast. I had read that you needed to be quick with the breakfast but that was not our experience. There was a wide variety and more than enough available.
The rooms were a little small for 2 people however, for the price and location, you could really not ask for more. Only minor suggestion - bedside tables. The hotel staff were really friendly and made you feel like they were welcoming back an old friend. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone and will certainly be back.

Even Smaller Than That!
from Traveler
The reviews here are accurate, but the room and bathroom we had were even smaller than expected. Front desk people, especially Oscar, are very helpful. As long as you know what to expect, this hotel is a good choice.
lived up to expectations
from A TripAdvisor Member
We just spent a great weekend in SF and would like to add our recommendation of the Andrews to the many that we read before booking.
This was a weekend with no kids getaway and my wife's first time in San Francisco. The Andrews website presents a very accurate description of the hotel, there were no bad surprises. We asked for and got a quiet room at the back and although the rooms and bathrooms are small they are just perfect for the amount of time we planned on spending. We bought the three day MUNI pass and were just a few blocks walk to the Cable Car or the MUNI train, or the trolley cars. The breakfast is basic but good muffins and very good strong coffee.
We would highly recommend this hotel to anybody who is normally a B+B type or who just likes old quaint places to stay. Thanks

Andrews was great
from lam44
The Andrews Hotel was great. The breakfast was above average for a continental breakfast, and the wine at Fino each night was a great place to unwind and plan where to go to dinner. We picked this hotel from the user reviews, and were pleased with it, for the price. The location is in a convenient area, we felt safe walking around, and the front desk provides itineraries based on your preferences. We really enjoyed the insider's tips for "Tip Top Views," and "Our Favorites: Good Food and Cheap Fun." The bathroom and rooms were small but clean. We'll stay again.
The Andrews is Great!
from Chigirl09
Just wanted to share our experience as we rely on those we read here when looking for hotels. We spent 4 nights at the Andrews. It was a perfect choice for us and it certainly met our expectations. As other reviews indicate the standard rooms are small and the bathrooms smaller. Besides after spending all day exploring the city, you are ready to collapse and let me tell you, you we did so in the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in! The Andrews was very quaint and reminds us of a European hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Finos was outstanding. We ate there 3 of the 4 nights it was so good. We are planning our next trip to San Francisco and we will be staying at the Andrews again.
A Delight!
from Annemmtg
This is exactly what everyone says - a lovely, clean and exceptionally friendly hotel. Ideally situated for all tourist venues,and quiet at night. Yes, the rooms are small, but so's the price, and they are clean and well maintained. We will definitely return! Fino is a good restaurant, too!
Customer Service - the best!
from xm
We just got back from San Fran and the Andrews hotel was just the best. The service was excellent - Oscar the consierge was amazing - he knew so much and his recommendations for restaurants were right on. Dan, the bartender at the hotel's restaurant was friendly, plus the house wine you get as a guest of the hotel was very good - the Pinot grigio was yum and do get the calamari. The rooms were small but cozy and little things make a differerence like a small bud vase of flowers - it was such a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was great - each floor has their own breakfast set up - so easy which consisted of fresh fruit, pastries, coffee and fresh juice.
The hotel is in walking distance to the trollies and buses so a car is not needed, but if you do drive in get tready for a 28.00 a day parking fee - you do get to go in and out though. We rented a car in oakland because we were traveling up to Napa - next time we'll rent in the city.
We would definatly stay here again - what made this place stand out was CUSTOMER SERVICE - we have traveled all over the worls and have never had the attention nor the personal care as we did here at the Andrews.
Enjoy

An excellent budget hotel of rare character.
from RichardJWW
I just came back from San Francisco and feel compelled to write a review of this wonderful hotel. Taking price into the equation, this is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Just a few points here: 1) The location is fantastic. 2) The rooms are both characterful - something very rare in hotels in this price range these days - and well provisioned. 3) The staff know the city backwards, are very professional, and even at busy times, were always ready to help. 4) Breakfast is included - again something that is rare in American hotels in this price range - and a basket of fruit is available on each floor throughout the day. What a great place!
A delightful stay
from Revlee
The Andrews Hotel was a delightful find. Our room (two twin beds) was charming, small, but more than adequate with a small sitting area and interesting view looking north toward Nob Hill. The bathroom was clean and convenient, not renovated but fully serviceable and quaint.
Breakfast was sumptious, with real dairy for the coffee, fresh fruit and pastries and real butter. The staff, especially Oscar, were helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable about transportation and locations. We had a car (+$25 for parking in a 24-hour attended lot), and Oscar and staff were able to give us easy, accurate driving instructions. The charm of the hotel, the grace of the staff, and the superb location near theatres, cable car, and Muni bus across the street make this MY hotel in San Francisco. I can't wait for my next stay.

Everything everyone has said is true.
from A TripAdvisor Member
I spent 2 weeks there while taking a class.Everything everyone has said in the other reviews is true. It's a pleasant little hotel. The location is close to everything. The staff is nice. The morning buffet was very good and on each floor. The rooms are small but are comfortable.I prefer to be out and about in SF, so the room was fine.The other guests seem to like the place too.The price is a great deal for what you get.It's not a Holiday Inn, so if you have kids and need a pool for them, this is not your hotel.If you're a couple of grownups it's a hotel for you.
Top Local Tips for San Francisco
Weather- Cold not cool You need a big coat for SF, its Cold at night and even during the day Fishermans Warf it is cold, you can see why the shops there sell so many big warm jackets.
Great vacation SF is a great location to visit for a holiday. Public transportation is easy to use and take you everywhere. Very friendly people, everyone wants to help you without even asking for directions. It is a beautiful city.
Muni passes a better deal than a rental car!

Not fancy, loads of character, great staff, wonderful restaurant, nice breakfast, love the wine in the lobby in the evening. Great way to meet folks and chat.
Reminds me of Hotel Trianon in Gare de Lyon outside of Paris.
