The Mosser

In Short
With stained-glass windows, high and narrow staircases, intricate decor and dark-wood interior, the Mosser closely resembles an original boarding house of the Victorian Age. The hotel is connected to Studio Paradiso, a free-floating music studio complete with digital, multitrack-channel mixing boards. Amenities include custom-designed furniture, cotton robes and double-paned windows for extra quiet. Rooms also come with two-line phones with data ports and 250-thread count sheets.

Charming Victorian Hotel In the Heart of San Francisco

03/13/2008 Posted by abadz

I stayed at The Mosser on my last visit to San Francisco and loved it! Yes, the room are small, but they are immaculate and so modern. I felt like I was in Europe! I was so impressed by the kind and helpful staff. Everyone was warm, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I was pleased with the location, too - it was perfect! Close to everything you need - tourist spots, shopping, restaurants, trolleys and cabs. My huband and I had a romantic dinner at the restaurant attached, Annabelle's - what fantastic food. I highly recommend the duck and the salmon. Delish! I left my heart in San Francisco - at The Mosser Hotel!

Pros: Close to everything you need

Don't Bother

When you read the other reviews and people say the rooms are tiny, it's cause THEY ARE! The "Budget rooms" come with a bed, a tiny TV, a sink, and (luckily) a ceiling fan (you'll need it). They say you're going to use a shared bathroom but you're sharing with everyone else on the floor. There are two bathrooms (toilet only) and ONE shower (which gets used all day). We never had a problem with waiting for a shower but it's kinda gross to know that everyone else is using it when you're not. You're lucky if you get a good view. We got to see the back side of a building that was probably 4 feet way from our building, and we were right above the kitchen so we got to hear the lovely conversations of the kitchen staff and clanging of pots and pans. The double pane windows are a nice feature but not when you can't close them cause it's too hot (we were there in september). The pillows aren't nice, the sheets are all staticky, so please find somewhere else to stay.

Pros: Right in the middle of the city, and close to a subway line

Cons: SMALL, HOT, NO PERSONAL BATHROOM
