Our family of 6 had a lovely stay at the Beresford Arms! Our room was very spacious, just what we needed for 3 adults & 3 kids. The bathroom was large, beds comfortable & kitchen was super handy. Staff were friendly & very helpful when organising activities. Housekeeping always kept up a lovely supply of clean fresh towels & bins were emptied daily. Wine & cheese hour was super delightful. Yes its an old building, but we very much enjoyed our stay here & would stay again.Thankyou

The hotel was super clean and convinient, there is a delishious izakuya restraurant right across the street. Our room had two beds with vaulted ceiling and separated kitchen with fridge, stovetop and oven, toaster, kettle, mugs, plates, utensils and glasses.They are serving breakfast(loved the croissants) and snacks in the evening with wine, crackers and cheese. The hotel is super clean, but plumbing needs updating. Dirty around the hotel and riads had constructions.

When we arrived there were several emergency vehicles blocking the unloading areas so we had to drive around and find a place to park to go in and check-in and see about valet parking. The room we were given (rm205) was on the first floor where a group of people were outside smoking and playing loud music until after 2am cursing and shouting. I went to the front desk to raise concern and was given ear plugs to deal with the nuisance. Knowing the floor has many levels to place a guest on street level where smoke seeps in the "sealed" windows from the outside is concerning. I would recommend the first floor rooms on that side of the building not to be used unless overflow is needed.

It is too bad the hotel borders on the homeless population. Some do not keep to themselves. Lots of screaming & loud music. I had an inside room so I thought it would be quieter. The elevator lights were so dim I could not see the buttons. The vanity needs a makeover it is child height. Otherwise, it was great.

Hotel is good but not a walking area

Hotel was very charming and room once we switched rooms was wonderful. (They had not given us a room that I had booked and it was very small and cramped and not like the picture, but they did make it right by switching us.) People were very nice at the hotel. Breakfast was OK. Hotel hallways were clean and rooms were clean. Hotel was very charming. Bed was super comfortable. Only challenge is the area is kind of sketchy with lots of homeless people outside. I brought my dog with me and I was a little nervous to walk around in the evening and also there was nowhere that had grass. The other challenge is you can only do valet parking (we were told our car was going to get broken into if left on street) but valet parking took a super long time to get car. If you’re going to use the valet parking, I recommend you give them at least 30 minutes and then plan on waiting even longer. I did like this hotel and would recommend it to others just be aware of the location.

Firstly the property Bereford Arms is in the unsafest and dirty neighborhood of San Francisco. Don't be fooled by the name of the Hotel Beresford Arms or the photos shown in Expedia or any websites. This hotel is in the notoriousTenderloin area of San Francisco (please look up for more details). Once you get to the hotel you are aware you're not in the safest neigbouthood and when you enter the hotel you get the smell of a budget hotel. Since it's an old property the rooms are big but absolutely minimal maintenance. The rooms very smelling, dirty and the bathroom had been clogged one day after use. Since the day was a Sunday no manitenance staff (even otherwise I dint think there is one). Some front desk staff are rude when asked a question or need help. No basic hotel amenities are provided. So once the night falls when you feel asleep and woken shocking at around 12 Midnight with loud sounds of music, pitfall/dogs barking, people talking loudly swearing etc. THESE DISTURBANCES GO ON TILL MORNING absolutely unacceptable. To make it worse these disturbance are right under the window of the rooms #304/305 and I think it will be heard all over the property. Then after the first night of scarce sleep we took a walk around the property and noticed that the property is sandwiched between two homeless Shelters whose residents some of them prefer to stay outside near the Bereford Hotel all night with their music, dogs and god only knows what else goes around there. SO BEWARE.

So ... The room was small ... the widows opened but are single pain. The roll up blinds don't roll up all the way. We held to window open by p[utting the fan into the window opening - and turned it on for air circulation which worked fine. Staf were friendly. Place is just old. We tried food across the street and to the right. The corner place was fine. The one just further was not fresh tasting. I had to go to the corner place for tea in the evening. No tea or coffee making in the room. Morning tea and coffee as advertised. Just not anything special. ... Just ok/good place. Staff were gracious.

Very Unhappy

I have marked everything as terrible. The outside of this hotel looked nothing like the photos. The area was so dirty, people eating out of garbage cans, drinking on the sidewalk, sleeping on the slidewalk, etc.. When we drove up to the hotel, we took one look at the area, the fact that parking was 2 blocks away (yes they had valet but that would have cost me about $100 each way), and I didn't feel safe stepping out of my car. I am not unfamiliar with big cities having traveling to NYCity, Seattle, Vancouver and felt safe there. We did not stay and ended up having to pay $200 to stay at a Doubletree Inn outside this terrible area.
