Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown

8/10 Good

"Nothing to add"

Club Quarters Hotel Embarcadero, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"very easy check-in. The rooms were very clean, and the beds were comfortable as well."

Stanford Court San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay at the Stanford Hotel in San Francisco. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, with a cozy bed that made for a great night's sleep. The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to help with recommendations or requests. The location was convenient, putting us within easy walking distance of great restaurants and local attractions. A great value for the price, and we'd happily stay here again on our next visit to the city."

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was under construction but they still managed to keep clear paths in and out of the building. Parking was a little harder with construction but the rooms, restaurant and staff were great ."

LUMA Hotel San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was fantastic! It was clean, the staff was very helpful & friendly. Our room was so good! Definitely will return when we come to watch baseball!"

Hotel Julian

8/10 Good

"A good location and pleasant, helpful staff."

Grand Hyatt San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Valet was quick and easy...fast check in...clean room....friendly staff...beautiful city view. Will stay here again."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were so lucky to choose the Handlery Hotel on our first visit to San Francisco. The location was perfect! Down the road from every kind of transit & most importantly, steps from the Nintendo Store! We had a two queen suite & to our surprise a sliding glass door that revealed a beautiful view of the city. Not quite a balcony, but very close & we loved it so much. There was even a vanity which came in handy with teenage girls. The hotel itself had two sections and we were in the Premier section. There was two flights of stairs to take with all our luggage & a vintage elevator that no one could figure out how to use, so up the stairs we went. At least at the top we got to walk by the heated, outdoor pool. We didn’t have time to enjoy it, but we saw other guests having a great time. The staff were friendly and polite and brought up extra amenities quickly when asked. We would 100% stay at this hotel again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

8/10 Good

"Nice boutique-hotel, good location, close to bus stops or can easily get a Uber. Yes it's close to the Tenderloin neighborhood but I never felt unsafe. Staff was helpful. We appreciated the coffee machine in the lobby. Room was also good overall, spacious and clean would have appreciated and extra chair. A fridge is provided which is a major plus. Shower curtain had littler holes in it. Nothing major but can easily be changes. The bed itself was comfortable and perfectly fine. One small thing I didn’t particularly like was the bedding setup: the comforter was placed between two flat sheets rather than being enclosed in a duvet cover. Overall, I'd say that I recommend this hotel. It's all about managing expectations"
