Great trip out.
Great trip out. If I remember rightly They may not take Ames cards. The boat comes in slowly to the rock and is regular. There is audio directions as you go round for free and it was really interesting the diverse population imprisoned there and the statistics were amazing. Really informative.

You can use the museum audio or your own telephone with a QR code if you do this take your own headphones for comfort. Go really early before the crowds. You can’t eat on the island. Know as much as you can before arriving it will enhance your visit

The audio tour is great!
The audio tour is great! Everyone can enjoy this tour at his own pace. Also there are Park Rangers that will tell you more amazing stories about different aspects of the island and it's buildings.

Everyone should visit at least once.
Everyone should visit at least once. The history is interesting and the self guided audio tour lets you go at your own pace. Be prepared for a windy and chilly ferry ride there and back but the scenery is breathtaking

I was actually taken there by my friend, as I hadn't planned to go there and if I has missed this, I would have regret this until the rest of my life! I was very surprised, how great Alcatraz - place and its' history is. Not only the travel there is fast and pleasurable, but being there and listening to the audio guide with recorded voices of prisoners and guards, while doing a tour inside the Alcatraz prison is unforgettable experience! Highly recommended!

Very good location, within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf and the pontoons where the boats depart to visit the bay and Alcatraz, a bike hire agency and a cable car terminus. Comfortable, clean hotel with friendly staff.
Exceptional view from the room, we could see Alcatraz and across the bay! Really good location next to the tram stop, very quick to get to the tourist hotspots from here. Room was very clean and bed was very comfortable.
It’s a great location for North Beach and The Financial District. And a 25 minute walk to the piers for Alcatraz and trips around the bay. It’s a decent, basic hotel.
The location of this hotel is absolutely superb, with only a five-minute walk to Fisherman's wharf and ten-minute walk to Pier 39 which is the departure point for Alcatraz. There are many restaurant options close by and both a convenience store and chemist located on the same block as the hotel.
The accommodation is recently renovated and is very comfortable. The apartment was very generous in size with a full kitchen, lounge room and bedroom. There is a self service laundry at reception The location was easy walking distance to Pier 39 and Cable cars right outside the door. The rooftop terrace is the perfect place for evening drinks and watching the sunset over Alcatraz.
After reading reviews of similar hotels in the area this one stood out for having very little negative. And I would agree nothing negative about the hotel. Great location to pier 39, Alcatraz landing and north beach all within walking distance.
Fantastic location. Staff very friendly. A tip….don’t buy anything from the SevenEleven (very expensive)…buy from Trader Joes supermarket 3 min walk from hotel. Very close to Pier 39 entertainment and boat to Alcatraz. Rooms very spacious.
We had a private room in this hostel which was perfect for our 3 night stay and had a view overlooking Alcatraz and stepping out of the hostel into the park gave incredible views of the bay and Golden Gate Bridge. Parking was fabulous in a very safe area which was great for peace of mind given the situation with car break ins in San Francisco at the moment. Security on site was great too.
Superb location, lovely hotel and large room. Great view of Alcatraz from our window. Comfortable bed.

What guests said about Alcatraz:
Number 1 attraction is Alcatraz and you can't come here without visiting
Number 1 attraction is Alcatraz and you can't come here without visiting. Amazing experience. However this was probably surpassed by cycling over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and taking the ferry back. You will get amazing photos of the bridge doing it this way. World Series Baseball was on during our trip to California which San Francisco were in and eventually won which added an extra buzz to the city. In our time in San Francisco the Giants were in Kansas but the whole city was alive with Giants talk. Buy a MUNI visitor passport. At the start of the day you'll want to walk everywhere but those hills take their toll and you'll be glad you can jump on any bus, streetcar or cable car later in the day

A trip to Alcatraz island is worth the time but book before you arrive to avoid disappointment
Try the Big Bus an excellent way to see this large and varied city. Try later in the year the weather is good and the summer travellers will have gone home. A trip to Alcatraz island is worth the time but book before you arrive to avoid disappointment. If the crowds overwhelm you head for the Haight or the Golden Gate park where there is space for all.

Listen to the history of Alcatraz first hand from convicts and guards via the headphones while exploring the cells

Alcatraz is the most prominent tourist thing to do but if you don't want to spend an afternoon there, or tickets are sold out (get them in advance btw), just waking along the pier there is loads to see
Alcatraz is the most prominent tourist thing to do but if you don't want to spend an afternoon there, or tickets are sold out (get them in advance btw), just waking along the pier there is loads to see. If you only have a few days there, a good way to see the city is the bus tours.
