The Andrews Hotel

Convenient location near shopping and theaters; wonderful continental breakfast bar right outside room

Although the hotel is old, compact and a bit shabby the staff do a very good job of cleaning etc and the front desk was helpful and friendly. And of course there was the restaurant - fantastic food and excellent service.

Room stuffy needed to keep window open all the time even in November

Staff, location, breakfast and cost

Cost of car parking

Excellent location - easy to access via bart from sfo. Very close to many transportation options making it a great home base for exploring the city. Fresh flowers in the lobby and room were a nice touch. Quaint old elevator on site - if we'd tackled one more hill we may have had to use it. We had 3 windows which opened which kept the room temperature comfortable during the heat wave.

The bathroom was very compact and would be hard for anyone of a larger stature to negogiate comfortably - perhaps other rooms had better options? A light in the closet would be a great addition! And new hallway carpetting would really freshen up the common areas.

Very friendly staff. Nice clean room.

extremely loud ventilation-system in room 209 daily from 6pm to 11pm.

The Andrews Hotel is a quaint hotel that is ideally located close to Union Square. The breakfast set up in the hall on each floor was convenient and perfect - good coffee & hot tea, fresh fruit, tasty pastries and scones with jam. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an junior suite which was a very nice size. No noise on our floor but as everywhere there is some street noise (did not bother us at all - it was nice being a couple fairly level blocks away from the cable car noise). The bed was comfortable. Lots of free DVD's available at the front desk. Attached to the hotel is FINO a wonderful Italian restaurant with great service.

No complaints but just know that as it is an historical hotel the floors and bathrooms are older but very clean. It was a bit warm due to the hot weather but the ceiling fan worked great.

Since our arrival the front desk was more than helpful to us. They not only tell us every single details of the city, but also did their best to feel the comfort in our room. Just like the ambiance of the hotel itself, the staff at the front desk was so hospitable. The location was great; despite being at the city center the rooms were quiet. Highly recommended ;))

Just a suggesttion: as they serve the breakfast at the aisles of the floors a foldable (the room has no space for another object) table and chairs would be more comfortable than trying to eat on the bed.
