Boheme has the style! What it provides you:
1.) Excellent location:
- it is in the italian disctrict, charming restaurants are just down the streets (we had such a good pasta as we were in Rome...)
- more or less, it is located in the middle of the downtown, everything is close even on foot (no matter if it is the Russian Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown or Union Square).
+ one of the best jazz bars is located only a block away (Pearls)
2.) Exactly the level of service you need:
- lack of complimentary breakfasts is a serious advantage here (think of all the breakfast places nearby!)
- small but tidy room
- tiny but very clean bathroom
- towels are changed, bed made every day - what else you really need?
+ excellent front desk service, maximum helpfulness, very good advices on dining...

The only disadvantage may be a problem only for certain people (not us...): we have asked for a room with view to the street and since windows are not double it was a bit noisy.

We have spent 4 nights there. Very good value for money.
Absolutely recommended, without any doubt!

(once you are there, go and try the second italian restaurant on the right! :) )

My wife and I recently spent 3 nights at Hotel Boheme. The cost is very reasonable. The room was small but fine for two people. We were rarely in the room as there is so much to do in the area that I don't see why you would want to pay for a large suite anywhere else. Our room faced the street but the noise did not bother us at all. I loved the location with all the nice cafes and restaurants in North Beach plus it is in the middle between union square and the wharf. We were not interested in shopping which is why this hotel made more sense for us versus those in union square which is the furthest area from many of the tourist sites.

Hotel Boheme is beautiful. The service was fantastic with helpful suggestions for places to eat and shows to attend, and assistance with travel arrangements. Quite simply the best service I've ever encountered in any hotel in any country I've visited.

The rooms are not large, but more than make up for it with location and atmosphere (and are as large or larger than rooms in many European hotels).

The rooms are stylish, cosy and spotlessly clean, a great contrast to the usual generic hotel look. Beds are super comfortable and my room (at the back) was very quiet. I felt immediately at home and will definitely be returning.

The position of the hotel in North Beach means you're close to everything and in an area that feels safe at night.

All up - fantastic!

Hotel Boheme has a great location slap bang in the middle of the Italian area of North Beach and close to Chinatown. You can also walk to Fisherman's Wharf in one direction and the Financial District in the other. The North Beach area is really interesting and lively, once home to the Beats and the famous City Lights bookstore, there is always something going on. There's also a plethora of restaurants in the area - I would recommend L'Osteria del Forno for Italian and House of Nanking for Chinese.

The hotel is well decorated and does have something of a Bohemian feel to it, certainly beats staying in a faceless corporate chain. The staff are very friendly and helpful. As it is on a busy street, we opted to stay in a back room, which leads to my only real issue with the place - the windows in our room opened out onto a tiny gap and then more walls, so there was minimal natural light coming in. We were glad of the peace and quiet but the room was pretty dark.

Overall though, really enjoyed San Francisco and thought this was an excellent base to explore the city from.
