Fantastic!
We really enjoyed this hotel. It has a fun seaside vibe and decor. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the location was perfect. The room was clean and quiet, which we really appreciated. I never heard another guest during my entire stay. They have a nice restaurant for drinks and food. It felt very safe. I would choose this hotel for the location alone; it was a quick walk to the Alcatraz ferry, dinner on the water, or to cable or street cars in two directions. Perfect!

Special weekend getaway with a proposal!
We had the most exceptional service! My boyfriend’s best friend proposed to his girlfriend while we were in San Francisco! Johanna and the front office team went above and beyond to make sure we’re comfortable and celebrated with a lovely note, chocolate, and champagne for the happy couple! From valet to the bartenders, everyone was so kind and happy to assist. I always find an excuse to come to San Francisco so I can stay here! I’m in a distance relationship with my boyfriend and we always have the most special time together at the Argonaut. Thank you so much for everything we will be back!

Wonderful!
I’ve had consistently excellent experiences with the Argonaut Hotel and can’t recommend it highly enough. What truly sets this property apart is the staff — they are incredibly attentive, proactive, and genuinely invested in making every stay seamless. From booking through check-out, communication is always clear, prompt, and accommodating, which makes coordinating travel (especially for work) effortless. The booking process itself is smooth and flexible, and the team goes above and beyond to ensure preferences and details are handled with care. It’s rare to find a hotel that delivers this level of consistency and professionalism every time. Because of this, the Argonaut has become my go-to recommendation for colleagues visiting San Francisco for work. I’ve sent many people their way, and the feedback is always the same — exceptional service, great experience, and a team that truly cares. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality stay with standout service, this is it.

Disappointing. Did not live up to expectations
We upgraded to a bay view room, but it was nothing like the pictures - the view was partial, unlike the picture on their website. Our room was directly on a super noisy street with inadequate sound protection. Bar closed at 10pm on a Friday. No hot drinks in our room. Comfy, but disappointing.

Not to be trusted
Although the hotel is nice, I am giving them two stars because we booked way in advance. However, when we arrived at the hotel one of the two rooms didn't have a working AC. We notified the front desk and they were not interested in resolving the issue immediately, nor did they accommodate us. In the end, we were told the AC was working but it was not. I would not come back to this hotel. We spent a day and night with two fans they provided instead of giving us another room. Talking about providing the best! A failure to the customer, better said.

Amazing stay
I want to personally recognize Luis Flores at the Argonaut Hotel for providing an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. He went above and beyond to help us with our booking and made the entire process smooth, welcoming, and truly memorable. Our room was incredible — the views were spectacular and easily one of the highlights of our trip. The hotel itself is beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly located, but what really stood out was the exceptional staff. Every interaction felt warm, professional, and genuinely guest-focused. Luis set the tone for the entire stay, and his attention to detail made a lasting impression on our family. Experiences like this are exactly why we’ll be recommending the Argonaut Hotel to friends and returning in the future. Thank you for making our visit so special!

Excellent service
The rooms are great, but the staff is fantastic! Chris helped me get settled - super kind and respectful, which goes a long way.

Spent three amazing nights at the Argonaut. Location and service were wonderful. The rooms were adorable.
Hotel was cozy. Staff was helpful. Room Was clean. On-site Blue Mermaid is a decent restaurant, but the cocktail bar was wow!
