the very friendly staff, the grand reception area and bar. free wine between 5-6pm every night.

Sue, Australia

Beautiful, tasteful, functional design in a compact space

Matthew, United States of America

Hotel is in a great location and easy to access on Bart from the airport. The beds are very comfortable but I was expecting this considering the nightly rate. All the staff are friendly and accommodating which made the stay all the more enjoyable. A bonus is the view from the Starlight lounge on the 23rd floor. We went there both nights of our stay for a night cap. Definitely would stay here again!

Elizabeth, United States of America

The room look modern and the beds are so comfortable.

Aaron, Canada

I loved this property! So beautiful and the staff was amazing!!!!

Jessica, United States of America

Very comfortable bed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great to use the bikes at the hotel. Terrific location for shopping and restaurants.

Alison, New Zealand

The mattress was very comfortable. For a San Francisco hotel room, the room was a nice size. The bathroom was small, but we expected that. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting in the late afternoon. Having a glass of wine helped unwind after a day of walking around the city.

Paul, United States of America

Excellent location Friendly, helpful doormen and concierge Free coffee available in the mornings Beautiful reception and lounge area

Alice, United Kingdom

Helpful staff, location, general ambiance of the hotel

Elizabeth, United Kingdom

The ambience of the hotel. It is nearby Chinatown, good restaurants, public transport - each evening a wine hour between 5 and 6 where we met other guests and travellers.

Robert, Australia

Great location!

눉Not good value for the type of hotel; size of rooms was way too small and amenities offered did not meet the standards for the price at all. Their AC turned off after 5 minutes and shut down in the middle of the night. The hotel is a bit run down and feels a little dirty.
눇The location was great and bell staff service were great; overall service was good. The bed was comfortable.

“Tired, overpriced hotel. Just disappointing.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Historic Queen Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉I was really excited about staying at The Kimpton for my special birthday trip and I expected a stylish, boutique hotel. When we got there at 5pm, one of our rooms still wasn't ready and the attitude of the staff was pretty much 'it'll be ready when it's ready, what's the problem?.' We are 4 friends travelling and had booked two rooms requesting twin beds. Apparently this information had not been passed on so the hotel staff just shrugged their shoulders. After numerous requests, we managed to change rooms after the first night. When we checked out, incorrect parking charges had been added to my bill. When I pointed this out, rather than the staff simply apologising for the error and removing it, again there was a serious attitude problem of 'what's the big deal?' as if they were doing me a favour by correcting the bill. Having checked my credit card bill, I have been charged a random additional amount over and above the (corrected) bill I was presented with and had signed off, so will have to waste more time looking into this. This is extremely poor. The hotel is tired and overpriced and worse of all employs staff with a serious attitude problem. I am so disappointed.
눇Good central location.

“Not really for a business stay”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Historic Queen Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉I was looking forward to my stay at the hotel while on a business trip. Unfortunately, there were a few things that impacted my overall experience here: - The room was below my expectations of the "deluxe room" description and with a strange smell. - A male staff insisted on entering my room to check the minibar content in the middle of my morning routine. Never had this kind of situation before. - Housekeeping woke me up on my departure day before my alarm at 8.30 am. In short, for the class of the hotel I would have expected a bit less disturbance, a hassle-free internet and feeling more like a guest, not a number.
눇A very good location, a beautiful building, and a helpful staff at the reception.
