Thank You for taking time to review our Inn, Your comments about our staff"s lack of transportation knowledge was a little suprising to us because they all take San Francisco"s public transportation everyday and are quite knowledgable regarding this subject. Maybe it was their accents that were the problem for you. A large amount of our guests our from outside... More

The Inn is located conviently for seeing the various places in San Francisco. The #39 muni bus to fishermman's wharf stops across the street, and two city tour bus companies stop in front of the Inn. It's two blocks to a cable car to fisherman's Wharf or Union Square and downtown. A six block walk past sidewalk cafes and shops... More

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at the Washington Square Inn, the first three nights of our honeymoon trip around California. We stayed in Room 11, a spacious room with bay window looking out onto Filbert Street, a quiet street with very little traffic. The room was very clean and comfortable, beautifully decorated and furnished with antique pieces, and... More

Located in Pacific Heights in the centre of Little Italy, you can walk to Fisherman's Warf or the Ferry Building. If you walk to dinner by taking the Coit Tower (Filbert St.) steps you'll have earned your calories and it's a walk through charming gardens with nice views. We stayed here six years ago and came back on a recent... More

A wonderful little boutique hotel in the heart of Little Italy. We had the one and only first floor room, just off of the main lobby. We were a little concerned that it would be too noisy, but we never heard a thing. The afternoon complimentary wine and snacks were very good, we chose to have breakfast in our room... More

My wife and I stayed at WSI for 3 nights. We chose it because it was close to an apartment which our son and his family had rented for a week. If we return to San Francisco we would definitely stay at WSI. Its location is just great. A relatively short and interesting walk through Chinatown to the Union Square... More

What a pleasant place to stray and so close to everything. You would feel very safe staying alone here with lots of dining options outside the front door. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very nice. Across the street, Washington square park was brimming with activity. In the morning there were many people practicing Tai Chi... More

Thank You so much for taking the time to review us and thank you for pointing out that our room description needed a correction. We changed the wording from inner court yard to light well, even though it is a large open space we want to make sure our guests can rely on our room descriptions being accurate before booking. More

If you are looking for a warm home in a Victorian Villa in San Francisco, at a TOP- location surrounded by nice restaurants, between Fishermans Wharf and Union Square, you should book a couple of nights in Washington Square Inn!

Our three nights at the Washington Square Inn were totally enjoyable. What a wonderful oasis after a busy day exploring San Francisco. The "happy hour" wine and cheese reception was the perfect way to transition from a busy day to relaxing evening. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice location near Coit Tower, walking distance to Fishetmans wharf, North Beach and Chinatown. Helpful staff and nice happy hour. Had an early flight so we missed breakfast.
