Top San Francisco Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn by the Bay

Comfort Inn by the Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Older hotel but decently upgraded. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We had great views of the SF bay. Breakfast offering was lacking, we did not go back after the first day."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in an excellent location just a few steps from Union Square, the cable car stop, and the BART train station, not to mention all the clothing stores and food options around it. The room was clean and very comfortable with a refrigerator inside, and I really liked the free cookies, apples, and water in the lobby. However, the service from the lobby staff could be improved, as they misplaced my small suitcase and only found it after checking three times. Management should improve staff training so they follow protocols and do not affect customers. I would stay at the hotel again, but I would be careful with the lobby staff."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Corky place. Great location, a bit run down. Still nice stay"

The Pickwick Hotel

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"Tired basic hotel. Clean and fairly good value for money. Air con worked but rattled a bit. We had no cleaning service on Sunday just a bit under the door saying due to high occupancy we are unable to service your room. I had to phone and go down for more coffee pods. Choice maker and small fridge in rooms which was nice. Very good location with bus rides and train station all 2 minute walk. Large supermarket within 7-10 min walk."

Grand Hyatt San Francisco

Grand Hyatt San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel! Right in Union Square. Beds were very hard and pillows kind of sucked. But overall the rooms were nice and very clean. We were on the 29th floor which was a cool view Parking is horrible and because we have a bigger truck they couldn’t valet it and had no idea how to help us and just kind of left us to figure it out, Thankfully we found ONE garage down the street that took bigger vehicles (thanks ChatGPT for finding it)."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA

8/10 Good

"The bathroom was ok except the water when you shower the water is not draining well! Staff was so so, we didn’t have breakfast at the hotel, parking was ok."
