Even though the room was the tiny room it was cute but the bed was on the hard side so it made it a lil hard to get a good night sleep, other than that I recommend this bed and breakfast, I’ve stayed in other rooms.
Araceli, 1-night trip

Charming Victorian decor. Good mattress. Nice full breakfast. Coffee, tea and snacks were out for guests to enjoy 24/7.

10/10 Exceptional

The property itself was charming and warm as was the staff. The continental breakfast was excellent and plentiful as was the availability of snacks throughout the day. The rooms were tastefully decorated and the private bathrooms had the most up to date amenities. I will definitely return to this establishment!
MITCHELL, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quaint Victorian style bed and breakfast. We loved the fresh breakfast everyday and baked goods available in the dining area. Very quiet. Room and bed were very comfortable. Shower and bathroom were spacious and had a bidet which was amazing! Love a warm toilet seat! Free parking up the block. We were able to walk several places however, we had a rental as well to get us around for site seeing. Lovely city. We will be back!

10/10 Exceptional

This was our second time staying here. All employees are so nice and helpful! Rooms are unique and clean. Bathrooms are modern and toiletries provided. The breakfast is delicious; you can order the day before and indicate time. Lots of choices! Snacks and drinks are available all day. They include fresh baked cookies, trail mix, nuts, water, coffee, tea and more. I highly recommend.
Janet, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our first night at the Monte Cristo was just awful: we were in an upstairs, back-side room on a warm evening. No ventilation to speak of, and no AC, meant that at 11pm, when it had cooled to 75-degrees outside, our room was 82-degrees. It finally dropped below 76-degrees around 4am. The second night was like night and day: we were moved to a street-side room, airy and well-ventilated, and spent a terrific day and evening there. The breakfast and staff were lovely throughout the visit. I’d recommend the Monte Cristo to anyone wanting to stay in the Richmond District, with the proviso that on a warm night, you ensure a cooler room.

Healthy breakfast made to order, clean rooms, and friendly staff.

I found a gem!

I loved everything about this B&B! The. decor is tasteful, service is attentive and mannerly, it’s quiet, there are good snacks available at all hours and the location is excellent. I’ll stay there whenever I come to visit my family. So glad I gave it a try.
