Very friendly staff. We wanted to try different eating places and the staff gave us great locations

Abraham, United States of America

Staff are fantastic. Really enjoyed the evening wine hour. Had a lovely dinner at Scala's Bistro.

Elisa, Canada

The staff are friendly and helpful. Complimentary wine in the afternoon & coffee in the morning is a nice touch. The bar area has a lovely decor & nice feel about it.

Kimpton Sir Francis Drake served is well on our trip to San Francisco! The hotel is situated a mere block away from the heart of the city, Union Square. As you enter the hotel you are greated with a beefeater at the entrance and a grand staircase and lobby. The hotel is historical and that is visible in the outstanding architecture of the building. Rooms are styled with the same historical interior giving it a personal and unique touch. Super comfortable beds, quiet and calm atmosphere even though we are in the bustle of the city. The hotel offers a good free wi-fi and free wine in the lobby every day from 5-6pm which was a great plus! The hotel lobby has a bar and you may also enjoy drinks at their penthouse bar - the Starlight Lounge which is super cool and overall very intimate with incredible views of the city! I enjoyed my stay at the Sir Francis Drake and would be delighted to stay there again on my next visit to San Francisco!

Supasuu, Finland

Great location just off 2nd trolley car stop near union square.

George, Hong Kong

I very much liked the service and organization in this hotel. I bought something through Amazon and had it delivered to the hotel before my arrival. After having checked in, they brought the package to my room within 10 minutes. The receptionists are very friendly, and room service was super fast. My room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is located very centrally and has a cable car stop just in front. Taxi's are immediately called upon by the doorman of the hotel if needed.

Erika, Israel

Beds comfy. Staff super friendly. Surroundings super lux, loved the bar. Location in the centre of everything!

Susan, Ireland

location is top. the hotel looks cool and trendy and yet traditonal, but with a lot of charme I liked the concept to get 10 USD voucher per day if we don't use the cleaing service

Serge, Switzerland

They were pretty flexible in terms of the checkout time, and additional help. Big Plus for that!

눉The rooms are desperately in need of a refurb! Extremely dated and the bathroom is old & pokey. The bathtub had chips in the porcelain & one of the bedside lamps was not working. The windows were so dirty that when I opened the curtains in the morning I thought it was a foggy day in San Fran ... in fact it was sunny .. but it looked foggy & overcast thru the filthy window.
눇The staff are friendly and helpful. Complimentary wine in the afternoon & coffee in the morning is a nice touch. The bar area has a lovely decor & nice feel about it.

눉The elevators were quite slow which is somewhat understandable given the fact that the building is old. The bathroom was small and outdated.

눉Maybe it is a common problem in California, but the water pressure is very low, which makes the shower experience a little frustrating.
눇I very much liked the service and organization in this hotel. I bought something through Amazon and had it delivered to the hotel before my arrival. After having checked in, they brought the package to my room within 10 minutes. The receptionists are very friendly, and room service was super fast. My room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is located very centrally and has a cable car stop just in front. Taxi's are immediately called upon by the doorman of the hotel if needed.
