I enjoyed my stay at the Monte Cristo and I intend to come back. The owner was very helpful and kind. He even lugged my huge suitcase up the stairs for me. I actually stayed here twice in one week and both of the rooms I stayed in were nice and the beds were comfortable with fluffy bedding. However, the... More

My husband, daughter, and I stayed overnight at the Monte Cristo Inn. I had never heard of it before, and I really only chose it for the location (close to USF). The price was higher than what we usually allow ourselves, but for the convenience and the free (street) parking, I decided to book it. I am really glad I... More

Good beds, furniture, equipment and food. It was let down by peeling ceilings, dirty paint and unbelievably bad repairs and room paint. The shower grout was black in places and the linoleum curling at the edges. The B&B had a strong smell of cooking bacon from our arrival at noon until we left the next day. More

Took the entire family to San Francisco for my mother's 80th birthday. This was the perfect place for us to stay as there were 19 of us of all ages! There were plenty of rooms and (more importantly!) baths! The place was clean, well kept...breakfast was wonderful...and the staff was fantastic!! The location is convenient to most any place one...

This B & B is in a great location. Very convenient to take a city bus or walk throughout the city. More

I stayed at Monte Cristo while my husband was a patient for four days at UCSF Mount Zion Hospital. I could not have picked a more perfect location. Staff was friendly and very helpful. I loved my room and the furnishings. I slept well every night, I enjoyed having a healthy and delicious breakfast each morning. Coffee and tea was... More

After reading the other reviews of the Monte Cristo, I'm disappointed that the stay that my wife and I had didn't compare to the stay that others had. To sum up our experience, it was really horrible and we would not stay here again. Below are the details. Booking - Booking a room online can be very deceiving. We booked... More

Stayed for 2 nights. Fantastic real King bed, not 2 singles slammed together....very comfy. Lovely to touch sheets. Classic antique look decor. Room a 'bit older', so if you are worried about the odd paint fleck missing, you are missing the point. Bathroom comprised toilet and large shower. Sink is in the main room.. No view from our room, but... More

We stayed 5 nights. Rooms are nicely decorated and clean. Location is great, away from the hustle and bustle of the centre but not too far away either, just get to number 1 bus straight down California into. I'd strongly suggest buying a 1, 2 or 3 day buss pass, it savewd us loads of money and a lot of... More
