Location is a quiet, residential base near buses and Golden Gate Park, though it is not central downtown and a few guests noted nearby homelessness. Parking is mostly on street; some found it manageable, while others reported limited or inconvenient options. Some noted thin walls, occasional fire-station sirens, warm rooms on hot nights, or smaller spaces with limited views. Expect a cozy, character-filled stay with thoughtful touches and a homey feel.

This was our second time staying here. All employees are so nice and helpful! Rooms are unique and clean. Bathrooms are modern and toiletries provided. The breakfast is delicious; you can order the day before and indicate time. Lots of choices! Snacks and drinks are available all day. They include fresh baked cookies, trail mix, nuts, water, coffee, tea and more. I highly recommend.

The Monte Cristo Bed & Breakfast is a gem!! It reminded me so much of my European travels. The building is unique and pleasing. Jack is very helpful and kind. The property is within walking distance of many food venues. We were able to park, easily, near the Monte. Make sure you pay attention to street parking signs. Fabulous sweet treats are put out for your enjoyment, including chocolate, cookies & tea. Don’t miss the hot, made to order breakfast. I will definitely stay at the Monte again in the future.

Quaint Victorian style bed and breakfast. We loved the fresh breakfast everyday and baked goods available in the dining area. Very quiet. Room and bed were very comfortable. Shower and bathroom were spacious and had a bidet which was amazing! Love a warm toilet seat! Free parking up the block. We were able to walk several places however, we had a rental as well to get us around for site seeing. Lovely city. We will be back!

My stay at the Monte Cristo Bed and Breakfast was very nice. The staff was great and super accommodating. It isn't in central downtown San Francisco but public transportation was super close and easy to use to get to the places we wanted to go. The big negative was parking. There is street parking but the car has to be moved according to the street cleaning schedule. The hotel does say that there is a lot close by that could be parked at for a fee but when we drove by it almost looked abandoned and there were very few cars parked there so it didn't seem safe to park. The only other comment my group had was that the breakfast didn't include any type of pastry or sweet item like cinnamon rolls, donuts, muffins...something sweet. This didn't bother me since I'm not a sweet for breakfast person but it was a comment my group made. Everything else was great!

Everything was lovely. There was some maintenance going on while we were there, but it didn't interfere with our stay. Hosts were unobtrusive, and breakfast was lovely. The location was convenient for the things we came to do, and while parking was on-street, we didn't have any trouble finding a spot.

The room and in particular the bathroom were great, being just above street level there wasn’t much in the way of a view and vehicles driving by in the night was a bit of a thing. Otherwise it was very well maintained and comfortable. I think if I visited again I would opt for an upper level room

While the rooms were kept to take the guests back in time, everything is updated in the bathrooms including Toto Japanese style bidet. Had a wonderful time.

Loved this Hotel. Nice location near Target and Bus1. Cute decor. Maid service daily. Breakfast made up per your menu selections. Filtered water (hot,cold) available. Very nice staff. Only one downside, it is across the street from the fire station so you can hear the sirens if they are called in the night. One night- two times, another night- one time, next three nights -none.

Our first night at the Monte Cristo was just awful: we were in an upstairs, back-side room on a warm evening. No ventilation to speak of, and no AC, meant that at 11pm, when it had cooled to 75-degrees outside, our room was 82-degrees. It finally dropped below 76-degrees around 4am. The second night was like night and day: we were moved to a street-side room, airy and well-ventilated, and spent a terrific day and evening there. The breakfast and staff were lovely throughout the visit. I’d recommend the Monte Cristo to anyone wanting to stay in the Richmond District, with the proviso that on a warm night, you ensure a cooler room.

No matter, this is now my preference for SF!

This didn't bother me since I'm not a sweet for breakfast person but it was a comment my group made. Everything else was great!
My stay at the Monte Cristo Bed and Breakfast was very nice. The staff was great and super accommodating. It isn't in central downtown San Francisco but public transportation was super close and easy to use to get to the places we wanted to go. The big negative was parking. There is street parking but the car has to be moved according to the street cleaning schedule.

Love the vintage decor and style of the historic building. The made-to-order breakfast was phenomenal and tasty! They always had tea, coffee, and great snack options available at all hours. Not too many things to do in a walkable distance but we found it easy to walk to the Target nearby and a neighborhood bar.

Loved this Hotel. Nice location near Target and Bus1. Cute decor. Maid service daily. Breakfast made up per your menu selections. Filtered water (hot,cold) available. Very nice staff. Only one downside, it is across the street from the fire station so you can hear the sirens if they are called in the night. One night- two times, another night- one time, next three nights -none.

I loved everything about this B&B! The. decor is tasteful, service is attentive and mannerly, it’s quiet, there are good snacks available at all hours and the location is excellent. I’ll stay there whenever I come to visit my family. So glad I gave it a try.

Everything was lovely. There was some maintenance going on while we were there, but it didn't interfere with our stay. Hosts were unobtrusive, and breakfast was lovely. The location was convenient for the things we came to do, and while parking was on-street, we didn't have any trouble finding a spot.

We really enjoyed our stay, the staff and guests were all so nice! Room was really comfortable and we loved the location of the B&B, it was a quiet area but near all the things we wanted to see.

Dining
Breakfast is a standout: made to order, consistently tasty, and complemented by 24/7 coffee, tea, water, fruit, and snacks. One guest noted a delayed early delivery, and another wished for pastries.

Super comfortable and clean room! The breakfast was delicious (highly recommend the tofu scramble). The walls a thin and for the light sleepers out there, you may hear your neighbors but otherwise excellent stay.

This was our second time staying here. All employees are so nice and helpful! Rooms are unique and clean. Bathrooms are modern and toiletries provided. The breakfast is delicious; you can order the day before and indicate time. Lots of choices! Snacks and drinks are available all day. They include fresh baked cookies, trail mix, nuts, water, coffee, tea and more. I highly recommend.

Loved the quiet, very homey feel of this property. The breakfast was always impeccably prepared. Check in was flawless and truly very welcoming with Jack opening the door as we got out of our Uber. While the rooms were kept to take the guests back in time, everything is updated in the bathrooms including Toto Japanese style bidet. Had a wonderful time.

Cute quaint place with old charm. Some of the random technology throughout the room, I did find odd like the Alexa home that has a camera on the nightstand, the motion detector sensor on the wall, the keyless pinpad lock for the door, and the mirror in the bathroom with the digital camera displayed, it just didn’t feel like it fit in with the rest of the place and seems a little weird to me. Not necessarily bad though. I was told when I checked in that I could request breakfast to my door as early as 7, even though the paper said 7:30. I got it around 7:20 which was disappointing because I was in a rush for work.

Loved staying at the Monte Cristo. The staff is wonderful, the breakfast is yummy, the room is well laid out and comfortable and the bathroom while small has a fresh remodel super functional for two people. Very charming and well located if you’re spending time at the Presidio or Golden Gate Park.

Such a clean and charming bed and breakfast with so much character. The shared spaces are welcoming. The breakfast was fantastic each and every day! The staff is exceptionally helpful and kind. The neighborhood is safe with a lot of food options and corner stores nearby. If you drive here, parking is challenging but not impossible I look forward to staying here again in the future.

The absolute best bed & breakfast in San Francisco! Cleanest rooms, friendliest and most attentive staff, great location, most delicious breakfasts and snacks/baked goodies throughout the day. Our son graduated from USF this past Saturday and we’ve consistently stayed here. On our next trip to S.F., just to visit and explore more we’ll stay there again!
