Argonaut, A Noble House Hotel

You can’t get more convenient for Fisherman’s wharf and all that it offers and the hotel provides a good base for exploring all that San Francisco has to offer. Next door to cable car stop and a short walk to the Presidio. Decent size rooms which are well appointed and containing most of the facilities needed (albeit the rooms are a little long and thin rather than square). Helpful reception team with complimentary water & coffee and a concierge desk for arranging excursions etc. Attached blue mermaid restaurant was OK if you want to dine ‘close to home’.

I was super excited to stay here for our first trip to San Francisco, especially when I saw that they offered rooms with a "bay view." Unfortunately the first (very expensive!) room we got that was supposedly a bay view had no bay view, unless you climbed into the bathtub and stood on your tip toes. There were no other rooms available so the hotel compensated us by giving a refund equivalent to the rate for a non-bay room, which is nice; but it was the whole reason I booked the hotel, so still ultimately disappointing. In fact now that I look back at the hotel photos of their rooms on their website, there is no way that those photos accurately portray any of the rooms' views because of the buildings that are directly across the street. (First world problems, I know, but better to under-promise and over-deliver rather than building high hopes.) Then, we were on the street side where a guy plays music until 11pm at night, AND you could hear the people walking around above you. They were able to move us on the 2nd night of our stay - again which is fair, but meant packing up and starting all over again. Another note is that the bathroom was ENORMOUS and while the toilet had a separate room, the shower (with glass door)/sink were in the same room, which made it hard to get ready in the morning as a family of 4. It was fine but maybe not the most efficient way to use all of that space. To sum up... get a top floor room... at the back of the building away from the noise... and the bay views are a strange name for what they actually are.

This hotel has the perfect location. It is very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, our room 203 had a window that was not sealed properly and let in ALL the noise from the street. They did fix it enough so that the outside air was not getting into the room but the noise was not fixed. Definitely hope they fix it before the next guest stays in the room. We had REALLY loud people above us and usually we never call the front desk to complain but it got to the point where we couldn’t sleep. When I finally called to complain Sharon from the front desk immediately took care of it. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Sharon was. Besides helping us with the loud neighbors upstairs she was always friendly and very helpful with all of our questions. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends knowing that Sharon would be there.

This is a lovely hotel. It is hard to single out any one staff member, but here is a selection of staff. Brian - awesome waiter Josh - front of house, restaurant Brendan and Isaac - hotel management Once again many more, great team. Setting is amazing as described by others. Rooms are large and stylish, although a little dark for me ( not sufficient to lose a star). Thank you Argonaut

Had an amazing stay at the Argonaut Hotel! The staff made my birthday extra special with a thoughtful welcome gift. My room had beautiful ocean views and even a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Everything was perfect, and the food at the Blue Mermaid was delicious. Its also on the main strip in Fisherman’s wharf.. so LOCATION LOCATION +A Can’t wait to come back
