exterior
The Cornell Hotel de France features a fantastic central location in San Francisco, just two blocks from Union Square. Originally built in 1910, Cornell Hotel de France has been owned and operated by the Lambert Family for almost forty years.
The Lamberts have created, in the center of San Francisco, the kind of small 3 star hotel that may be found on the Rive Gauche in Paris. For an affordable price, guests receive the personal attention and comfort of a charming bed & breakfast style accommodation.
This San Francisco city hotel is unique and distinctly European; easy going, and profuse with art and history. The on-site Restaurant Jeanne D'Arc offers authentic French cuisine in a romantic setting.

Hotel Reviews Cornell

Canada, May 2009
The hotel was in an excellent location. I found one of the staff memebers to be rather unhelpful. It was a holiday weekend and I was inquiring about MoMA hours, she handed me a phone book and told me to call myself. As the phone in my room was not working she begrudgingly looked it up on the interest. Also, on the webiste it stated that there would be complimentary shuttles from the airport, which there is not. It also mentions that you may get on any shuttle going to Union Square, which you cannot. Breakfast was excellent, but only served for I believe 1.5hrs. I did not have a chance to eat at the restaurant because it is not open Sunday and Monday.

Great location and unless I find another bargain like this one, I'll continue to return when I have to stay in the city. Definitely meet my expectations.

The location is superb, three steep blocks from Union Square and close to Chinatown, so take this into account if you plan to walk. The personnel is friendly and unobtrusive and the hotel, small and quaint, with a definite French charm. Rooms are definitely small but quiet. Tip:If you do not find a hairdrier in your bathroom, ask for one, the front desk will provide it.

It was a good hotel. Although it is in the middle of a hill, the location is very central and there are cable cars just in the corner. There was no conditioning air in the room I stayed, just a fan. The room is quite small but is quiet and clean. There was free wifi internet in the lobby. Although there is nothing exciting about the hotel I would recommend it.

This was a great place for the price. The room was small but had everything that we needed. The location was excellent not far from Chinatown or Union Square. The breakfast was large and satisfying though there were only 2 choices--french toast or eggs & toast with fruit juice, fruit, coffee or tea--in a pleasant environment. The hotel was short handed at the check in area which I would consider a problem at times.
