"Absolutely charming"
My husband attended a medical convention in San Francisco, and we stayed for a week at the Steinhart . We had a lovely large one bedroom apartment with a full kitchen that was super clean, comfortable, quiet, and just simply perfect for our needs. A bonus was the use of all the upscale conveniences at the sister hotel, the Vertigo, just next door complete with a very friendly and helpful front desk staff. We loved the outside patio barbecue area at the Steinhart, and we felt very comfortable and were very impressed with our accommodation. We felt the price was very reasonable and as it was a long stay it was great to have such a spacious and comfy apartment. We would definitely stay there again- thanks Peter for all your suggestions and friendly service.

"Ideal place for longer stays"
If you are lucky enough to be able to spend some time in SF - being an apartment hotel, the Steinhart requires a stay of at least 7 nights - the Steinhart is a great choice. Beautiful building and great location, close to bus routes, restaurants and supermarkets (in case you decide to use your own kitchen). Some reviewers complained because there's no one at the reception most of the day, but it wasn't a problem for us: we felt perfectly safe and Peter - the manager - was always available (and extremely kind) every time we needed advice or help.

"The Steinhart exceeded our expectations"
Just returned from a week's stay in the fabulous city of San Francisco at the Steinhart. I was there for a family vacation - family of four with 8 & 16 year old children. The location of the Steinhart was perfect. It's right on the bus line and just a few blocks from the trolley line and Union Square. Within a block of the front door are coffee shops, pizza-by-the-slice, gelato, burritos, and a great little pub. We also walked to Colibri Mexican Bistro and out of this world sushi at Sanraku. The management and the staff at the hotel were first rate. They helped us with computer issues, reservations for Alcatraz, and had terrific suggestions for interesting, off-the-beaten-path outings in the bay area. The accommodations were spacious and very comfortable. The hotel is a restored historic beauty that includes gorgeous common spaces. My children loved the original elevator - its elegance and uniqueness added to the week's experience. The room had a private master bedroom and plenty of room for the four of us to spread out and relax at the end of a day of sight-seeing. Also included: a full kitchen, huge closets, roomy bath, two flat screen TVs, murphy bed, and lovely floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the bustling street below. It was such a hit that we are already planning our next visit to SF - at the Steinhart.
