Sutter Mansion

Old-house fanatics like us will take any opportunity to stay in homes turned hotels like this one. It is very cozy and welcoming despite ornate details at every turn. The staff and concierge team made us feel at home and were a great help coordinating special parts of our first visit to SF. A critical eye would find a few faults in the small details where properties go from good to excellent. During our stay we were often the only guests to be seen or heard, and the absence of bar service or their former in-house restaurant were small letdowns. Some elements of room prep are quirky for frequent travelers. None of that is a problem nor should it dissuade someone from staying. It’s in a safe area of downtown SF and close to anything worth seeing.

This is a beautiful mansion. The staff was so kind and helpful. Our room was clean and so comfortable. The parking was convenient and easy. We will definitely be back!

Picked this seemingly charming hotel on Expedia for a one-night getaway with my wife. When we arrived, the door was locked shut and the door didn't get answered until 5 minutes after I called a phone number and rang the bell. My wife and I were incredulous this was supposed to be a 5-star hotel? Once we were in, we were greeted by a stale smell typically associated with lack of ventilation. The entire building was empty, with just the two of us guests and a single staff. The parking lot had only one other car. The bar and restaurant looked unstaffed. I have been to quite a few historical hotels but this is just dingy and creepy. The room was ok but still smelt. The TV and the cable box looked like out of a motel along the highway. 5-star? This must be a joke! I called Expedia to cancel my stay. Unfortunately the staff at the hotel refused. Doesn't matter. We just left and booked a more well-known hotel. Yeah, you could say that we are not staying in this place even if it was free. This is blatant false advertising. Don't let your members fall into this trap!

What was once a beautiful building now feels like a faded star. A sense of neglect lingers over the house. The rooms are clean and the bed comfortable but there is a lack of facilities which look like they used to be there but have been stripped out. Our room had a living room filled with seating and a sideboard with a tv point and a tv unit but no tv? No fridge in the room which is pretty essential when its mid summer in the city. No drinks facilities. There was an espresso machine on the ground floor but not self service and no sign of staff to operate it for you. Even at breakfast when the sad ghostly continental offer was laid out, we were left with an automatic coffee machine and the espresso sat unused. The bar held remnants of the past with half opened bottles of wine, old cans of beer and scattered glassware. When we asked for a glass of wine we were offered some of the opened bottle which was ancient and undrinkable. Asked for a beer instead but the fridge was broken... Why not clear it all away and make it clear the bar is closed, the next day the opened dusty bottle of wine was still sat there alongside several others... Overall it felt like the place was closed and we had snuck in, it was sad.

The property was quaint and charming, but for a luxury hotel, I was surprised that it was missing some of the core amenities. The walls were a bit thin, wifi was flaky, the shower took 10 min to heat up mid-day, and the bar/restaurant have yet to be brought back. The bedding was fantastic. The staff were so gracious and kind however, especially Amanda at the front desk. She was kind enough to fix the internet and also brought me a full length mirror when I asked (the room only had a half mirror in the bathroom).

very nice hotel from the outside. However, the inside and overall experience was somewhat lacking. Once you enter the hotel, you feel that the whole hotel is very dated and trying very hard to look like a sophisticated victorian home. The furnishing of the rooms feels like everything was purchased from Ross or Ashley Furniture. The hotel is also next to a hospital and get quite noisy at night time and difficult to get a sound sleep. The windows are very old and don't insulate the sound from the outside. The staff was great and welcoming but I think the whoever runs the hotel can use some help to spruce up the whole interior, bar area, and really low quality breakfast. The hotel otherwise is a very nice area between japantown, pac heights, civic center. The outside has been really nicely renovated. The hotel has a lot of potential.

Magnificent 1881 Victorian with authentic decor and beautiful period art. The staff were extraordinarily helpful and friendly. Terrific complimetary continental style breakfast and around the clock coffee and tea service. Convenient onsite parking. 6 stars! We will never stay anywhere elae in San Francisco.

Beautiful common space and very friendly staff. Rooms have seen better days. Carpets and furniture are worn. Most furnishings are cheap; not inline with the overall "mansion" atmosphere. No hot water (staff checked and the same situation in other rooms when I was trying to take a bath/shower). The gym is not much of a gym.

Beautiful historic building with spacious, clean and well appointed rooms. The staff was very friendly. They served a nice breakfast but the restaurant is otherwise closed.

We stayed in this hotel for one night. This was our second time because we liked a lot our first stay. I would highlight 3 things about this hotel: 1) Friendly and helpful staff (Amanda and others). They went above and beyond to make us happy from making coffee, carrying luggages, opening parking doors, and most importantly having a pleasant conversation. 2) Beautiful art throughout the building. 3) Great location, walking distance to Japan Town and Fillmore shops and restaurants.

It's a beautiful property, well maintained, and the staff is perfect. We had an issue with the safe in the room (the only bump in an otherwise perfect stay) and the concierge was at the door almost before we hung up the phone. Also, I ordered roses for the room (my wife's birthday) and they were perfect. This is really a exceptional hotel.

Incredible decor, very clean rooms, excellent staff. 10/10 would recommend, I will definitely be coming back!

I have stayed at this charming and historic property before, which is why I returned. Sadly, I probably will not come back. The staff is always helpful and friendly, but our room was musty and smelled like bleach. The walls looked like they had not been wiped down properly. They need to air the room somehow and at least wipe down all of the moisture from the walls. The last time I stayed here it was clean and fresh. Maybe it was that particular room, but the nightly rate was not cheap and we could have had a different experience for much less.

My daughter and I stayed at mansion on Sutter about five years ago and it was such an amazing experience that when my husband and I decided to visit San Francisco I booked us to stay there as well. If few things have changed, but the customer service and the beauty of the rooms and the location makes this one of the most Wonderful places to stay in all of San Francisco. The property is so beautiful and the renovations were done so well. The customer service, especially by Amanda and Komal were above and beyond. We will be coming back to San Francisco this year just so we can stay again at this lovely property. The rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable and every room is unique. I highly recommend this property.

The masion is beautiful. The staff is wonderful. Some maintenance on our room is needed. The towel hook on bathroom door is broken. Just little things but it would be nice to have a place to hang a towel.

We had a fabulous stay at the Mansion. We felt comfortable and enjoyed the quiet and spacious rooms.

Beautifully elegant. Building is amazing, amazing beds, pillows. Absolutely loved it, will be back.

We loved our stay at the Neighbourgood Sutter Mansion. The room was very comfortable, surprisingly quiet, the bed was was heavenly and the bathroom was ‘spa’ like. We did not have the breakfast but the staff offered us espresso drinks and pastries. The entire team was outstanding, very welcoming but not over bearing. If I have anything to wish for more is an elevator for transportation of luggage’s.

Some of of the most comfortable beds/pillows/sheets I've ever slept in! Service was great, rooms are spacious.

Fantastic staff! Very kind a accommodating

Old-house fanatics like us will take any opportunity to stay in homes turned hotels like this one. It is very cozy and welcoming despite ornate details at every turn. The staff and concierge team made us feel at home and were a great help coordinating special parts of our first visit to SF. A critical eye would find a few faults in the small details where properties go from good to excellent. During our stay we were often the only guests to be seen or heard, and the absence of bar service or their former in-house restaurant were small letdowns. Some elements of room prep are quirky for frequent travelers. None of that is a problem nor should it dissuade someone from staying. It’s in a safe area of downtown SF and close to anything worth seeing.

Beautiful space, excellent service

This is a beautiful mansion. The staff was so kind and helpful. Our room was clean and so comfortable. The parking was convenient and easy. We will definitely be back!

Very beautiful and unique hotel, but most notable was the very friendly staff especially Amanda, she made sure we had everything we needed at all times, showed us where everything was and made sure to ask if we needed anything every time she saw us in the lobby. I cannot thank Amanda enough for making our stay comfortable and memorable. The Hotel was everything we had hoped for. I would definitely stay there again.

Close and convenient for work.

Such a beautiful place, great location and super nice staff! We also loved the location and the quiet of our room. The staff needs to learn to make a proper espresso, truly. They could up their game on the atmosphere with music in the downstairs and maybe some live greenery. We were there at Christmas and the decorations were dismal. It is just short of how spectacular it could be. It wouldn't take much.

Amazing staff. Very friendly. They even make espresso and latte. Lobby is beautiful. It’s like a gallery of arts. Very relaxing environment. Location may be the best in the city.

Surprisingly wonderful stay! Beautiful building, lovely quirky room, excellent service, in perfect location. So glad I went for it.

Beautiful Mansion, extremely comfortable with great staff. Easy access to nearby bars & restaurants.

Absolutely wonderful place with a very welcoming staff! Amanda, in particular, was really great. Loved the rooms. I stayed in 203 and 207. Great Italian market with sandwiches across the street. Highly recommend!!!

Good espresso coffee for breakfast but no hot food like scramble eggs or bacon, only cold bakery but at least there is a microwave.
