Great hotel for the price – I have stayed at the King George several times, and am always pleased. The staff is both friendly and knowledgeable of all things SF. The price is right for what you do (or don't, rather) get. The location is awesome, as you are staying near the heart of the city--Union Square. Unfortunately, the rooms are pretty small and the hallways a tight squeeze, but the quirky decor helps to ignore that.

Food is not worth the price – I went for tea with my daughter and it was totally overpriced. The food was very mediocre although the service was good until the end when I couldn't get the check. When I did get it, they tried to add a 20% gratuity to the check for two people and call it tax. This is just offensive. The idea of a mandatory gratuity on something like tea is really a joke and they tried to say the person who did it was gone so I had to wait 10 minutes to get it fixed.

Great Location, Clean Rooms, Service Staff Friendly and Helpful, and Reasonably Priced! – This hotel is a great location close to shopping, cafes, bars, nightlife, theatrical theaters (yet we didn't have tickets to a show so will go next time in town). Union Square and the cable car to the wharf is one block behind the hotel with many bars, cafes and restaurants are nearby, yet if you want the best restaurants to dine, reserve a time in advance as the concierge will assist you. The rooms are a bit snug yet quiet, and worked ... read more

HORRIBLE experience from start to finish!! – I am a business traveller and after checking out the King George's website I was excited to stay at a hotel that looked stylish, had a good location and sounded friendly and welcoming (despite small-ish rooms mentioned on several reviews). Well, my experience was NOT at all what I was expecting. I arrived on a Friday afternoon around 2:00pm and pulled up to the front of the hotel where the Valet Parking sign was posted. I sat there for several minutes expecting someone to come out... read more

Calm and Quiet- just perfect. – I feel so bad for the previous poster! I've been coming to have tea at the King George for about 3 or 4 years now, and have had nothing but wonderful service and great tea. I feel like I'm walking into someone's home; the last time I enjoyed tea here, the gentleman gave us extra goodies. He is a real sweetheart. I usually go on Sunday afternoons, and never have a problem with seating. It's such a calm, quiet room; great respite from the busy streets on a hectic day.

This traditional English tearoom serves breakfast and afternoon tea. – In Short Situated within easy shopping distance from Union Square, the King George Hotel's tearoom serves tea the mezzanine level on weekends under a portrait of Queen Elizabeth. Weary shoppers and theatergoers fill the small room quickly, munching on accompaniments such as scones, trifles, tea sandwiches and assorted pastries.

Horrible experience, worst service – This was a well planned out December treat for a hard day of shopping. What a complete disappointment. We were ignored by both waiters even though they weren't busy. One waiter obviously went out of his way to ignore us and give preferential treatment to other guests. We were dressed nicer than the other guest so I don't think it was because we disgraced their ambience. Finally we were served by the busgirl who forgot to give us cups. The food was mediocre at best. Waste of time, waste of... read more

Fabulous! – Great location, updated rooms are warm and fun! Staff was very knowledgeable about San Francisco and gave me the inside things to do and how to do them easily. Great rates, walked everywhere and safe for a single woman. I'll be back as this hotel is affordable, clean and the best in San Francisco in the boutique class. Other hotels in SF have the its 'Not my Job" attitude but the King George made me feel like I was the only guest.... Royal treatment for a great price... ENJOY!

since childhood – I have been a guest at the King George since I was a child. The best qualities of this hotel are the location and the staff. The employees are welcoming and helpful. The rooms are small, and need for closet space, but the proximity to Union Square and the friendliness of the staff far out weigh the size.
