Lock in a great price for Hotel Kabuki, a Joie de Vivre Hotel – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

My only issue was the ongoing construction/ renovation which I knew was the case when I booked my room. I hope the renovation doesn't involve loosing the Asian charm or make this hotel cost prohibitive as I would definitely book here again for my next trip. The rooms were super comfortable,great mattress,awesome deep soaking bathtub/shower combination. Need to fix lighting in bath area to be more energy conserving. Same with daily housekeeping services.I don't need to have my sheets/towels changed on a daily basis. Been in other hotels that offer credits for not utilizing housekeeping every day which would be beneficial to Hotel Kabuki. Mini fridge was good but just a bit too tiny. Loved standing on the balcony overlooking the city. Great staff- incredibly polite, professional and helpful. Overall a fantastic place to stay in San Francisco!

Susan, United States of America

The staff made a mistake on where our room was, but went the extra mile when they found out they were wrong--so sweet to us.

Darleen, United States of America

The staff were very helpful. During our visit to the city some attraction were close due to 4th of July holiday. The receptionist realized we were a little disappointed so she offer us a bottle of wine with our choice or white or red. That was very nice of her to do

Mohammed, United States of America

“Spacious, comfortable and nice Japanese design”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • King Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉A little bit expensive, but maybe it is in San Francisco average. Moreover, the breakfast is not included in daily rate, so at first look maybe you could get a wrong idea about the price per night, thinking that is cheaper than it really is. It seems that for Americans is quite usual to stay without breakfast included. I got a couple of other sites with this same approach.
눇The room was very spacious, with Japanese decoration and a nice urban San Francisco view. The room was very comfortable. The breakfast was very good, with a good selection of fresh fruit. Unfortunately, breakfast was not included in the rate.

눉It was the night of our wedding reception, so we wanted a very special place, knowing we would be very tired. The room was cold and the toilet overflowed at 2 Am! Aghast, we had to dress and move to another room, much nicer, but outside was the street, so much noise. Bottom line. We didn't get much sleep and will never go back. Unfortunate as staying there has always been on my bucket list!
눇The staff was very good.

“Disappointed couple expecting romantic Japanese retreat”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • King Room with City View
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Hotel was not ready for guests. Our room was a standard hotel room with a few pieces of Japanese inspired art. Random light switches, exposed electrical piping, no door to the bathroom for privacy, no ice bucket?? Two tissues left in a box. They listed Japanese shampoos and soaps? Just standard hotel soaps. Ice machines weren't working, balcony covered with burn holes in the AstroTurf. Gap in sliding door caused whistling and a draft all night. Huge disappointment for all the hype. Not worth the extra money. View was ok, but only saw some of the city. Hotel was under construction and areas were blocked off with no signs leading you to parking or anything valuable. Parked in garage parking, hard to find entrance to garage, valet lot was full so not even an option, $23 each night but hotel wouldn't validate, not sure it mattered.
눇Location was the only redeeming factor

눉I don't believe there was a thermostat in our room and it seemed a little cool.
눇I told the staff that we were celebrating our 46th Wedding Anniversary and they upgraded our room, gave us a bottle of wine and chocolate strawberries. They couldn't have been more helpful during our stay. They also gave us 2 breakfast vouchers because we had to wait a few minutes for our room to be ready. Valet parking was a little confusing and we ended up paying $45. for it when we could have paid for underground parking for much less. Location was fine, although we usually stay in Union Square but we took the bus one direction for dinner and a cab on the way back which was very easy . All in all we enjoyed our stay very much.

눉Booking through Booking.com presented a problem when we had to change the reservation by one day. there was no option to do that on the site without cancellation, so I ended up calling the hotel anyway. should have done that first because the agent was extremely helpful.
눇the bed was very comfortable and being on an upper floor, we slept with the window open, enjoying the SF breeze.
