Hotel Boheme, San Francisco, CA - Reviews and Hotel Information

Small, pseudo-hip, excellent North Beach location, not too expensive.
(approx. $175/night with tax).

A fave of writers, artists, eccentrics etc. and the staff (thanks Charles) is patient & helpful.
I would recommend it for a unique & offbeat romantic North Beach getaway.

Good for at least one stay if you like North Beach. I stayed 3 nights and liked it, but then I'm a North Beach freak.

Cool building, starts on the 2nd floor as it sits above a good pastry shop.
But for me it's all about location close to all my favorite restaurants, bars, and hangouts.

Good points / advantages:
location; intimate, almost romantic ambience; tastefully furnished with many beat-era photographs in rooms, halls & stairs; free wireless.
The staff is smart, hip, helpful but not overtly nosy.

Caution:
rooms are small with minimal electrical outlets (not for business "gadget freaks");
NO PARKING - you must park a couple blocks away in expensive lots that take cash only. Definitely not "car-friendly." I recommend you park over by Powell and Green St. at Allen Coe's lot next to O'Reilly's. Allen is a cool dude and will give you the best parking price in North Beach.

Some colorful guests as well (including me). NO STAFF on duty after ~ midnight. If you need assistance late at night (lockouts, etc) you have to find a phone, call, & wait (good luck if you're naked ).

I recommend "comfort room" 201 on top floor corner with window overlooking Columbus Ave. Can be a little noisy when Columbus is hoppin' but there are also quieter rooms that don't face the street if you're a light sleeper.
