About this place Payne Mansion Hotel

Payne Mansion Hotel, a 10‑room historic property on Sutter Street between Polk Gulch and Lower Nob Hill, offers a quiet retreat in downtown San Francisco. The building dates to the early 1900s and sits on a narrow block of Sutter. With only ten rooms spread over four floors, the hotel feels intimate. Check‑in starts at 3 pm and runs until midnight; check‑out is 11 am. Guests need photo ID and a credit‑card or cash deposit when they arrive. Google reviews give it a 4.6 rating, and it’s listed as gay‑friendly but not a dedicated gay hotel. A few blocks east on Polk Street you’ll find a cluster of bars, and the Castro is just a short Muni ride away. Because the property is so small, book early if you’re planning to stay during Pride weekend or a major convention.

Our reservation was suddenly canceled less than a month before our stay, for "unforseen circumstances". No explanation was given, nor was anything done to compensate us for our displacement. Finding suitable alternate lodging in San Francisco on such short notice, and during a busy holiday week, was quite the difficult and inconvenient task!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, quiet BnB. The people were welcoming and available and the lobby/living area was so lovely that after a long day of sightseeing we got a bottle of wine and spent the afternoon enjoying just being there. The breakfast and always available coffee was a nice plus. We would definitely return and highly recommend!

Tremendously friendly and helpful staff. They understand the meaning of hospitality. The hotel is quite lovely with original 1900s decor and art. It is walking distance to SFJazz, City Hall and all the major concert venues. We stay there whenever we are in SF.

Very, very good service by employees; they were always ready to help and answer questions. Room was clean and neat. Breakfast was excellent. This was a good location with a short Uber ride to most attractions we were interested in.

Such clean and spacious rooms but what really makes this place special is the staff. Amanda in particular is so sweet and really ensures you feel cared for.
