Our family of 4 just returned from a three-night visit at the Argonaut. We had an excellent stay in a fourth floor, double-queen room with a Cannery view. The hotel has a great location: across the street from the Hyde Street trolley car turnaround, easy walking distance to the Alcatraz ferry (the Alcatraz tour is highly recommended) and to Pier... more

We loved this hotel. It was perfect for spending two nights near the wharf for our one year anniversary. Our room was above average. Well appointed. Clean. Bathrooms were small compared to the size of the room. Lobby was great people watching. We hit the comp wine/beer each evening---don't miss this. Location on the wharf is prime. We rented bikes... more

Argonaut-Hotel, Hotel Manager

Thank you JetsFan8 for your recommendation of the Argonaut Hotel. The staff here takes great pride in this hotel and I will be certain to celebrate your comments with them. As you had noted, parking remains a premium for San Francisco. Our parking prices are in-line with the area hotels and actually a little less than downtown. The huge advantage...

Fantastic Themed Hotel located in the famous Wharf Area. The room we received was overlooking the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge and was nothing short of spectacular. Excellent facilities in the room included, Starbucks coffee, excellent shampoo/skincare products (L'occitane) , DVD/CD Player etc. and cleanliness was of the highest standard. The staff were very friendly and courteous and were... more

Beautiful hotel, with a great location! Near Pier 39, cable car turnaround, etc. We had a queen/queen room, and found it very good size. We stayed on 4th floor,w/ view of Cannery, and didn't experience any noise at all. Hotel staff was very friendly, and the wine reception each evening was awesome! They had wine and beer! Would definitely recommend... more

I booked this hotel based on the reviews here on Trip Advisor and I wasn't disapointed. Amazing location and an even more amazing buliding. As soon as we stepped out of the car we got a great welcome from the staff, what do they give their doormen? They looked happy all the time. Greated by a wonderful reception team and... more

Lots of previous reviews provided descriptions. I'll just highlight a few points we felt may be of interest in respect to our stay:- We got the shuttle directly from the airport to our hotel although we discovered from others on our flight that a taxi was cheaper than shuttle for 2 – just). SF was windy and because of this... more

For a family the location is great with easy access to all means of transportation and sites. The staff was very helpful throughout our stay. We... more

My fiancée and I spent four nights at the Argonaut in Mid-June 2008. It was a wonderful hotel, nice clean rooms and very comfortable beds. The door staff were always courteous and full of useful info! San Francisco was as great as ever, only had one day of fog, the other three were beautiful and sunny. The only slight negative... more

We LOVED our suite. it had a king bed, a bathroom with a jacuzzi and a large shower, and a reasonably-priced honor bar. The suite was completely SPOTLESS. No stains, no... more

I booked 3 rooms at the Argonaut for a stay in February 2008 and despite it being a nice hotel, I was bitterly disappointed with the service. The first room was an internal room, with no opening windows, which made it quite stuffy. The other two rooms had opening windows and were more spacious, which was much better. The rooms... more
