Top West Oakland Hotel Reviews

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"Angel at the front desk was very friendly and hospitable. The bartender Michael was very talented. The group of us had a lovely night."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Small but clean and adequate for an overnight stay. Would’ve liked a refrigerator in the room. Tv streaming kept cutting out and the water bottle refill station had a tiny stream and took 10 minutes to fill a water bottle. But those were minor inconveniences. Clean and great location."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and helpful staff. We stayed in the ‘Premier’ area of the hotel, and whilst the lift and corridors look a little tired on this side of the hotel, our room itself was lovely. Very spacious and comfortable. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great little pool and gym area. There’s a bar area at the back of the hotel which didn’t seem to be in use, which is a shame as it looked lovely, and a perfect place to unwind with a cold drink at the end of a long day exploring this gorgeous city. Would definitely recommend"

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Front staff who assisted check-in was quite helpful with niche situation. He was kind, and performed his job above and beyond. Mattress in my room seemed brand new and all the sheets were clean. There was everything provided you would need other than a sewing kit or toothbrush & showercap but honestly, i didnt need those."
