    I did find the shared bathroom to be a minor inconvenience. However, this was a minor drawback compared to the Chateau's many positive aspects.

    The Chateau's unique flair and historic character add to its overall appeal. The building itself is a testament to San Francisco's rich history. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome and at ease throughout my stay. I particularly enjoyed the variety of breakfast options.

    Like many older “character” properties there are some compromises. For example plumbing and bathroom weren’t up to modern standards however this is a trade off one accepts. Modern hotels tend to be soulless but Chateau Tivoli has soul in spades.

    Friendly staff. Fantastic breakfast.

    There were no shade curtains in my room.

    The place is beautiful and the location by the park of the Painted Ladies is lovely. The breakfasts are memorable as is the daily happy hour. Being able to lounge in the living room to the sound of soft classical music or jazz is delightful. This is my favorite place to stay in San Francisco.

    I don’t love sharing a bathroom but this is a historic property. That being said the bathroom was always clean and available when I needed it.

    Nice atmosphere. The staff were nice but not hovering. The room was big clean and comfortable.

    Mild smell of wee in the bedroom.

    Amazing location and such welcoming staff. Place had a Victorian murder mystery vibe - totally wacky and perfect for a few nights exploring nearby areas. Breakfast was so excellent - multiple courses and champagne/mimosas at the weekend. Loved reading the history of the building too.

    The Painted ladies is nearby but other attractions are a longer walk away, Golden Gate Park is about 25 minutes walk as is Haight Ashbury. Best to use Uber/taxi for Fisherman’s Wharf.

    Breakfast was excellent, everything freshly made from a wonderful menu. We were in a downstairs room, no view at street level. Traffic noise was evident at all times but not excessive. Staff really friendly and helpful.

    The only small thing was that the pillows could’ve been a little softer! But really everything that was so great there, we loved our stay.

    This was the most beautiful home to stay in. I stay home because it felt like a home, they were so welcoming. It was gorgeous it was unique it was comfortable we loved everything. The room was absolutely amazing- it was HUGE and had so much cool history to share with my kids. They have deep bath tubs that were perfect for a soak after a long work day. They gave us cookies when we arrived- even texted to see what time we would be there so they could greet us. The house is amazing and the area is really clean and feels safe. My kids loved it and I can’t wait to stay there again!

    We had the French toast and the Italian baked eggs, we both enjoyed our choices so much that we had it the second day too. I will be making the baked eggs at home, I loved the whole dish/recipe.
