Positive Reviews
positive:
Classical turn of the century style
The hotel was originally built in 1902, something the current owners have tried to capture with the design and décor. With elaborate chandeliers, Edwardian-styled furniture, and rooms flavored to echo that classic era, you'll feel like you've gone back in time.
positive:
Close to just about everything SF
A mile from downtown San Francisco, with easy access to the metro, buses, taxis, and the iconic cable cars, the hotel is perfect for your San Fran experience. You can walk to Japantown, ride the subway to Fisherman's Warf, or drive down to Ghirardelli Square.
positive:
Keep connected with free Wi-Fi
In spite of its old timey ambiance, the Hotel Majestic is fully modernized, and includes a functional business center and free Wi-Fi throughout the complex. You'll have nothing to worry about if you need to keep in touch with friends, family, or contacts while traveling.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No central heating or AC
In a generally temperate city like San Francisco, having a heater or an air conditioner isn't a huge deal. But during those cold spells or heat waves, having a little fan or radiator won't quite make up for the coverage of an HVAC system.
negative:
Could use an update
While the hotel is a wonderful tribute to Edwardian times, some visitors have mentioned that the rooms, hallways, and even main building seem a little run down. Although renovating a hotel to period is extremely expensive, a few aesthetic touches could spruce things up.
negative:
Limited dining hours
The Café Majestic provides a delicious assortment of foods and offers a nice variety of cocktails. However, some guests felt that the restaurant's hours of operations—closed for lunches and on Mondays—were too limited. Fortunately, you're in San Francisco, surrounded by eateries.
