The best staff. Feels like you’re staying in your friend’s comfy guest room. I would go back because of the staff who are excellent. The only issue is climate control and noise. No A/C or central heating so you have to open and close the windows to get the temperature comfortable and then the noise from the street gets to be a lot.

I cannot recommend this hotel enough! Brian was excellent and really made the check-in process nice and easy. He also provided some great suggestions for places to eat and activities. The breakfast is wonderful and great quality food. This is a good option for folks who want to be in a less intense area of the city but still walkable distance to great areas for dinning and exploring. We will definitely be coming back!

We loved the Parker Guest House. It is a really charming B&B close to the Mission, Dolores Park and the Castro. Carl was so very helpful when checking us in and with breakfast. He was a delight. Our room was small, but charming and it was ADA accessible which was necessary for one of our party. It was a bit tricky for her to turn her wheelchair to go down the ramp in the tight space. Also, the only way to enter the property in a wheelchair is through the parking lot because of stairs in the front. But overall, we loved our stay at the Parker Guest House and we plan on staying again.

We really loved the Parker Guest House. The property is beautiful, the room was spacious and elegant, and there were many small details that showed genuine care and attention to make the stay pleasurable and memorable. The staff was warm and not intrusive. Staying at this property helped make our weekend visit to San Francisco one of the best of all time. We definitely will be happy to return and stay here again.

I liked the continental breakfast. There is bread, mini muffins, and cut fruit. The hotel is very secure. We had to push a button to get in. The clerk came down the steps and let us in. The housekeeping is very minimal. Guests have to ask for towels or extra toilet paper. It is a great place to stay overall. Good neighborhood. The staff is helpful.

I had read all of the great reviews for Parker Guest House and had high expectations (so much so that we booked a whole two week stay!) Needless to say, it exceeded even those expectations. We had the most fantastic time. The rooms are great, staff are lovely, gardens are beautiful and it's really well connected if you need to get in to town. Also nice parks nearby, and lots of places to eat and drink. If we're ever in SF again, we'll be back.
