Hotel Nikko San Francisco

8.3 Excellent

Based on 489 reviews

For a recent business trip to San Francisco, I chose to stay at the Hotel Nikko due to its central location in Union Square and the overall positive experiences I have had staying there in the past.

Upon arrival, valet and bell staff were pleasant and polite, but the employee at the front desk was disdainful. It seemed to me, that due to my appearance (young and with purple hair), he was uninterested in helping me get settled in my room, which I had paid for several weeks in advance. Once I arrived at my room, I was taken aback by its small size - literally half that of other rooms in the same hotel. However, it was clean and modern and I figured that I wouldn't be spending much time there anyway due to my busy work schedule that weekend. I didn't realize the effect of such a small living space until I awoke at three in the morning to a drunken fistfight and shouting match in one of the adjacent rooms. I could hear every word (as well as every slam of a door or contact with a wall or floor, naturally) and laid awake for two hours as the fighting continued. Needless to say, I was not well rested when I left my hotel room at five in the morning. The smell of smoke filled the halls. In the lobby, a still-drunk man dressed as Superman (it was the morning after Halloween) screamed obscenities through the phone he had borrowed from the front desk. The second night of my stay was marginally better, with my main complaint being that I attempted to use the WiFi and was shocked to realize that internet costs $17 per room per night, with no free internet access to be found in the lobby. I could still hear guests in adjacent rooms very clearly, but was not awoken in the middle of the night by drunken arguing. Checkout was easy, and the valet service was always quick and polite. Despite this, I will not be staying there again.

da Vinci Villa Hotel

7.6 Very good

Based on 177 reviews

Great location and very close to all sites and attractions, however facilities need upgrading. Old smelling carpets give off a smell strong enough to stick to my clean clothes and required me to close my luggage bag.

Breakfast was very average with the option of toast, bagels, waggles, cereal, and boiled eggs. For a 3 star hotel the standards need to be lifted up especially due to its cost and the price paid considering we have stayed at 3 star hotels around the globe from Europe and Asia and had found them all very good for value and clean with a well provided breakfast option, even if it means including a hot food option, like scrambled eggs alongside the boiled eggs that were there or even some bacon. However on a good note, a big thumbs up to all the staff who were very helpful and welcoming.

Parc 55 San Francisco-A Hilton Hotel

8.3 Excellent

Based on 103 reviews

Parc 55 is a huge hotel with all the amenities one would expect. Location is less than a block from Powell BART stop and Market Street shopping and buses, near Union Square.

Not a scenic location, but one of the most convenient in SFO. We were lucky enough to have been given a room with wonderful Bay view. The housekeeping and reception staff very professional: bell staff inattentive and unpleasant.

Bay Landing Hotel

8.3 Excellent

Based on 185 reviews

I stayed at the Bay Landing SF for one night Aug 5 to the 6th. Everything was good. The gentleman checking us in was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable.

Location was great since we needed a shuttle from the airport. I stayed there on my way to Napa with two life long friends celebrating our 50th birthdays. Everything was fine with a huge exception for the breakfast. The three of us have traveled quite a bit and neither of us has ever had to microwave frozen food as part of a complimentary breakfast. That was surprising, disappointing, time consuming, and really a bit ridiculous. It was a chaotic mess. People were exploding eggs in the microwave, under or over cooking the frozen breakfast items, (everything was either cold or frozen). There were two staff members cleaning the exploded food from microwaves and replenishing the frozen items and coffee as needed. The resources could be much better spent by having the staff members cooking or heating up the breakfast items, cleaning and replenishing and putting the food out on sterno or chafing pans etc. Really? I mean many other hotels have figured that part out. We make our own waffles but the hotel cooks all else, it's not that hard. Did I mention the the food was FROZEN and COLD and the guests had to cook it themselves.? Not good at all!!

Aida Plaza Hotel

6.3 Good

Based on 643 reviews

My husband and I always book hostels as opposed to big fancy hotels because they are just the better value.

We only use hotels to rest and sleep and the rest of the time we are out and about enjoying the vacation. Aida Plaza Hotel was very inexpensive but was still a decent hotel. The only downfall was we had to pay 40 bucks for overnight parking a block away, but if you didn't drive there that wouldn't be a problem. The hotel is located right next to restraunts, bars and night clubs and pier 39 is only a 45 min walk/9 min drive away!

The Pickwick Hotel

7.4 Very good

Based on 129 reviews

I was a little bit concerned when I first looked at review for this hotel on yelp -- there were a lot of complaints, esp.

about cleanliness. When I got there, it was not nearly as bad as it was described -- yelp reviews were probably highly biased for hotels in general in that only dissatisfied customers would post on yelp. I find the room pretty clean, and the bed very soft and comfortable. There is free wifi internet, and in my experience its performance is better than most other hotels with free wifi. The hotel in general is old, and as a result the rooms are somewhat old. You can see cracks in the paint on the wall. The room is also pretty small, barely any room after putting in two double beds and a small desk and dresser. The closet is walk-in and decent size for a hotel room though. Bathroom is similarly small, but clean as well. One thing to note is that the water-pressure is a bit low. Walls are pretty thin, so if you listen carefully you can hear the neighbors talking or the TV. But there are enough ambiance white noise that I don't find it disruptive unless you have really bad neighbors. They don't appear to have a thermostat inside (though there are probably central AC), but just a heater. It's not a problem for me as I traveled in November, but could be problematic in the summer. The price is fairly cheap compare to other options (~$200 per night during a conference in SF, it's at least ~$15-20 per night cheaper than other alternatives with shorter walk). It is very close to the subway station so going to the airport is easy.

Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel

7.8 Very good

Based on 354 reviews

This Hilton was a bit of a disappointment. I've stayed or dined at many Hiltons around the world and rarely not been pleased.

The structure is aging, the service of the staff is lackluster (except for concierge, they are great), the acoustics of the bar are such that if there are more than about a dozen customers you can't have a conversation. The deal through Agoda was cheap, but then the hotel nickles and dimes you on everything. WiFi in the center of the IT industry? That'll be $19 bucks a day. A soda from the vending machine is $4. A fridge for your room, an extra $25. Big lines at check-in becase they've only got 2 or 3 staff on the 30 meter counter. Union square is great, but this hotel is more towards the seedy side of the area so there are homeless knee-deep right outside the doors at all times. This Hilton is primarily a convention venue so they've got a captive market attitude. Shop around, you can find better than this place.

The Fairmont San Francisco Hotel

8.5 Excellent

Based on 81 reviews

We were told, after waiting nearly an hour to check-in, that we did not have a room. We were told they had "sold" their last room before noon that day and that there was no way we had a room despite that I had the voucher that showed that we did.

(I made and paid for my reservation near 6:00pm that day.) They said there was nothing they could do. We would need to talk to you. We told them we had paid for our room and that it was their responsibility to either find us a room in the Fairmont or to find us a room in a similar class hotel. The woman speaking with us disappeared again and when she came back, magically she had a room available after all. Imagine that. When we got to the room, we found out it was for handicapped persons and we are not handicapped but at that point, we had to be somewhere and didn't have any more time to deal with the front desk. The whole episode put us off this hotel. We lost an entire hour just trying to check in. And to have her insist that we couldn't possibly have booked a room was really insulting.

Serrano Hotel

7.4 Very good

Based on 68 reviews

Great lobby in a slightly dodgy area of San Francisco. Yes you are downtown, a block or two from Union Square, Theaters, etc.

, but the Tenderloin and Market Street are dirty, impoverished areas at your doorstep. The room was smallish but neat and clean with good linens. It had restored charm from an earlier era, but the heating system was loud and one of the two beds left me with a backache that took days to recover from. Otherwise a quiet space 17 floors above the city. I might give it another try based on the staff service and the moderate price. We did not use room service or eat dinner at Ponzu, but breakfast was served slowly, at high price and low quality. You're better off at the Taylor Street Cafe around the block.

Nob Hill Hotel

7.3 Very good

Based on 205 reviews

We loved staying here, buses and taxis were either outside the door or just around the corner, staff were helpful and friendly, rooms beautiful, clean and generous sized, breakfast was served in a lovely streetside cafe which turned into an Italian restaurant for lunch and dinner.

Free wifi was a bonus and many recommendations for trips and tours were helpful. Get the airport shuttle, not taxis from the airport as they are only about 30 dollars and taxis are about 50 dollars from the airport. Just beware of the Tenderloin district if you are walking around- there are a lot of homeless people - however they are very friendly and don't harass you.

Hotel Majestic

7.4 Very good

Based on 94 reviews

On 02/08, the house keeper must have broken a glass inside the bathroom, and she did not report it or clean it properly.

Hence, when I and my wife returned to the room in the evening, my wife met with a terrible accident. She stepped on the broken glass piece and injured herself. There was a lot of blood spill, which your hotel staff also saw, and eventually cleaned. I am attaching a picture of a few more glass pieces that we found in the bathroom (it's on the rim of the sink on the right side). This is unacceptable by any hotel standards, and you will agree too. The guy at the front desk was courteous enough, and offered to null our restaurant charges, which are very minimal. Because of the accident, and the fact that my wife couldn't walk a lot, we basically wrapped up our plans for 02/09, and headed to the airport at 12, even though our flight was to depart only at 5:35PM. We basically lost a morning's worth of sightseeing. I know I booked my trip through a third-party source, but I humbly request you to do the needful, and at least refund us a part of the stay for the inconvenience that was caused. Please do also let your cleaning staff know, and may a warning be served. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Palace Hotel a Luxury Collection Hotel San Francisco

8.4 Excellent

Based on 43 reviews

If you can do without free wifi in your room and don't intend to drive, this hotel is great. Valet parking costs 59 per night before tax, but being unfamiliar with the city we decided to use it.

The rooms are very clean as with all hotels I've stayed in the states. The hotel lobby and rooms are tastefully decorated. We visited the Golden Gate Bridge using their public transport system, and the bus stops are on the same street outside the hotel. There are also numerous dining places to choose from near the hotel. We checked out in the evening of 4th of July, and thinking that there would be a jam, overestimated the time to get to the airport. We ended up reaching the airport within 15 minutes instead of the budgeted 3 hours, and waited at the airport for more than 6 hours. There were no jams, no road closures or block-ups from the hotel to the airport despite it being Independence Day. Should have used the hotel pool or checked out the restaurant, maybe even time for both. We were in transit to SFO after visiting a few national parks in the other states, and sadly the only amenities we used were the room itself. I heard there was free coffee at the lobby area but we didn't find it.

Location , location , Location....very close to union square. walking distance to shop, and only 2 block away from flagship apple store (if you want to que for the latest apple gadget).

Our room is breakfast included so, the breakfast choice is not much, but the view is to brag for. the breakfast was held on the top floor of the hotel, on the clear days, i can see the view of golden gate bridge and alcatraz prison. I like the newly renovated rooms, so chic & Modern.

Hotel Diva

7.7 Very good

Based on 103 reviews

The hotel was under renovation and they made a business decision not to disclose to potential guests at time of reservation, this is poor business behavior and false advertising.

Due to the renovations certain advertised facilities were not available or we had to go elsewhere for it. Only after multiple complaints and chasers were we offered a partial discount as compensation. Old lock and key safe that had no key, hotel didn't have it neither, so we had no safe to use in the room. They offered the reception safe instead where staff had access. Poor lighting in room, so dark couldn't see well. Shower pressure was uncontrollable, shower curtain kept flying inwards onto user when showering.

Hotel Whitcomb

6.9 Good

Based on 104 reviews

The Whitcomb is a great option if it suits your needs, but can be disappointing if you have unrealistic expectations.

It's a large, old hotel and despite the gorgeous Edwardian era architecture and decor in the common areas, the non-suite guest rooms are a bit spartan. The location is dodgy at best - not outright dangerous, but if you're going to walk around in the vicinity of the hotel be prepared for lots of requests for money, attention, etc. and the occasional bout of screaming. On the other hand, the entrance for BART/MUNI rapid transit is a few steps from the front door of the hotel - use the 8th/Market exit and you can literally see the hotel sign as you come up the elevator. There are bars, restaurants (cross Market Street and walk up Larkin for some good Vietnamese and Thai options) and convenience stores close by and open late. The on-site restautant, while a bit formal-looking from the outside, proved to be a great place for a solo dinner at the bar. For history buffs - do explore the mini museum on the Mezzanine level, devoted to the history of the hotel - which was apparently very glamourous during the 1916-1929 period, after serving temporarily as San Francisco's City Hall in the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake.

All in all int's a great hotel. We stayed there earlier with no problems and the recent renovation has turned out great rooms with fabulous beds and linens and a tremendous bathroom with high quality fittings and even a motion sensor that turns the light on when you walk in (a bit bright in the middle of the night though).

But this is a high end hotel so the Starbucks coffee maker comes with little packets of coffee creamer powder that does not even work instead of the little cups of half n half other fine hotels offer? And the liner to the shower curtain was starting to show mildew stains, and the carpet next to the bed in one of our rooms was actually wet. So not top marks this time around....

The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square

8.1 Excellent

Based on 132 reviews

Our stay would have been perfect in this hotel except for one very annoying and insulting staff at the concierge desk named Ms.

Christy. The hotel is centrally located and the rooms are big and spacious. Concierge men like Jeff and Anthony were polite, well-mannered and very informative. Ms. Christy on the other hand was rude and obnoxious. She rudely asked me to return to line when I mistaken stood too close to hotel guest before me. When I was up next, she entertained a query on side from a Caucasian guest who was not on line. So discriminating and unprofessional. The Westin is a respected and well known hotel chain all over the world. This was the only time, I questioned myself if it was worth paying this price for a hotel room to be insulted by a concierge staff simply based on my skin tone. This happened before lunch on April 17/18, 2014. To avoid this unpleasant experience, your manager should remind the staff to be "hospitable" to all guests regardless of color or race. This behavior is very UN-WESTIN. If the staff is unable to comply, then she has no business to be in this industry.

Not to good at all. I was stayed in 8 / fl., it was very noisy because anyone step out the elevator, you knew it right away.

All building floor was built by wood, that if you step on it, you can hear the noise zzzzz immediately. All day and night like this. I must very slowly in CAT walk motion moving around my room. The first day I did check in very late around 11:30 pm, when I was moving around my room, the room UNDER my room I.e. 7/fl., used a stick or ... To snap on his ceiling to tell me to stop all motions. All floor and wall are made of WOOD, it is a very old building. The last night was the worst one because someone was talking in ... Language very noise till 2-3:00 in the morning. The only good thing is the location, but this hotel is not cheap. I paid USD ~ 500.00 for 5 night. For a small room with one single bed, NO refreightor, very old room and bath room yeh..... I will not recommend to stay in this hotel at all.

The Monarch Hotel

5.8 Review score

Based on 38 reviews

The monarch staff was not friendly. They watched as I struggled to get my bags on the cart, watched as I struggled to get it into the elevator, I had to ask about the valet policies and how that whole thing worked, they did not tell me the front of the building was a towe away zone twice a day and my car was almost towed while waiting for the valet, they were rude when I asked for my car to be called up, their valet was at least a half hour away and they charged a ridiculous amount for crappy service and they damaged my car.

The rooms were not very clean nor laid out well (there was a walk in closet that made it impossible to walk around the bed. We had to walk over the bed in order to get in our room). The hotel was not in a good section of town, homeless were all over, and he community center was across the street. Overall, we had a less than poor experience here.

Hotel Union Square

7.4 Very good

Based on 55 reviews

Location was good next to a lot of shopping and food. The exterior and lobby are quite charming with updated furniture and decor.

That's where charm ended. Our room was quite tiny, not at all what was pictured. We could get over that as we were just sleeping there. The bathroom, however, was so small it looked like they got half price for half a sink. Shower and flooring needed to be updated though clean. Our room had the barest of furnishing and little to no decor. Flooring could probably use an upgrade. Bed had just bare minimum with two sheets and small pillows. On top of that we could hear EVERYTHING our neighbor was saying in her own room not even talking loudly. And- heads up- parking is $55/night. I'm used to expensive city parking, but that is incredibly steep especially when we thought we were getting a good deal on a room. Also, no A/C. Luckily we had a blast in San Fran and this did not rain on our parade.

King George Hotel

7.7 Very good

Based on 228 reviews

Considering this hotel is in the Tenderloin District (well I'd say the boarder of it) it was a pretty decent hotel for an affordable price.

The hotel is in one of the best convenient locations which have everything at your doorstep without being too congested or noisy. You have the BART (Powell St Station), the MUNI and Cable Carts within 2 blocks from the hotel. It's also extremely close to shops such as Macy's, Bloomingdale and Nordstrom which is a shoppers dream having everything pretty much at your door step. The only downer would be the slow elevator. There is only one and you can find yourself waiting a while. Another downer is the homeless people around the area but I found that you found this all over San Francisco. Also if you treat them with a little respect they will tend to be friendly back. As a single female traveler I had no issue with this nor felt scared compared to some other areas of Tenderloin. The hotel does have small rooms however I've stayed in much smaller. I also don't tend to spend my entire time in the hotel room so this did not both us at all. The beds were comfortable, linen was clean, the showers had great pressure and were hot. The internet speed was amazingly fast too. Would I stay here again? For sure!! I actually had booked this hotel for 3 nights and had to come back to San Francisco for my last night so I re-booked this hotel for my last day in San Francisco. If I come back I'd definitely stay here again.

Stanford Court San Francisco Hotel

I had a great time in SF. My weekend almost got ruined by another guest who stayed in a room adjacent to mine.

This individual stole my wallet and caused a scene with his guests while I confronted him regarding the incident. I notified hotel staff who went above and beyond to help me. Long story short I was able to get my wallet with a few missing things but the most important items were still there. The security staff helped out and also the front desk personal. This incident could have changed how I felt about SF but it played out as best possible which I think it's because of the hotel and its staff. Unfortunately there are some individuals who choose to commit crimes while people are enjoying themselves. Overall I had a great time and would recommend the hotel.

Everything was well taken care of. The parking was close by and easy to use. The room was bright and clean and the staff were friendly and efficient.

I have no negative comments except that the air conditioning in the room was not working very well. I mentioned this to the desk staff and when I returened they informed me of what the maintenence man did to fix the problem. However it was not fixed, I think he went to the wrong room since our fridge was not in front of the air ducts as he said it was. The A/C problem will not deter us from recommending this hotel to others and we look forward to staying at your other hotels. Thank You

Holiday Inn San Francisco - Golden Gateway

7.3 Very good

Based on 109 reviews

In my opinion this is not a 4 star hotel. The decor, quality of food and general staff service, reception staff were curt, doesn't match up to many other 4 star hotels I've stayed in.

We had requested a high floor and got one of the lowest floors with the worst view possible overlooking the flat roof with staff walking directly past our window. When I checked at reception they said they were full. Yes they were, mainly with airline staff who just want a bed for the night. The restaurant staff were okay but it was hard to get their attention. The concierge staff were all helpful and knowledgable. We had a corner room which was clean and tidy but cold. The heater/air con unit was large and noisy. The housekeeping staff were noisy, talking and letting doors slam shut. We went out and our room wasn't made up so we just had replacement towels brought to ur room. The buffet breakfast was poor, the juice and fruits were nice but the scrambled egg was overcooked and there were no baked beans. A few pastries and pancakes. I realised the staff weren't bothered about their guests when I asked if you could have any other type of egg, you could, so then I had friend egg one morning and poached egg another, much better than the scrambled egg on offer but why did I have to ask? The hotel is in a good location, Polk Street has lost of interesting places to eat during the day and night and bars open until late. The cable car runs nearby, its on a good bus route and there are plenty of taxis around.

I was checked into a room that was not made! This is the first time that something like this happened to me and I was indeed very traumatized by it.

My first thought when I saw this was what kind of hotel have I got myself into. The bed sheets were pulled over and has strands of hair on it. Towels were dirty with stains. Apparently someone forgot to make up the room for whoever stayed in it previously. I went back down and explained to the staff and he apologized and gave me another room immediately. This time round, the room was much much better but I was still shaken by the terrible experience. I stayed for 3 nights because I have already paid for it but I certainly will not recommend this hotel to anyone. I regretted my decision because it was simply not worth it at all.

The hotel was a little hard to identify from the street, but once inside, the decor was impressive. Staff were very helpful at reception and concierge, although the door staff were a little hit and miss.

The Redroom bar was lovely, the "le sidecar" cocktail was delicious. The Velvet Room restaurant was not worth eating at. The service was pleasant, but a little haphazard. The food itself was pretty ordinary. Alaskan halibut with figs, clams and prosciutto should have been a delicate dish, but the fish was a little overcooked, the advertised fresh figs were not available (which I only found out after the dish had been served and I asked where they were, despite the dish having been recommended by the same waiter based on how great the figs were at the moment), and the substituted fig jus was far too "meaty" for the other flavours in the dish. The roasted peanut cheesecake tasted like any cheesecake you might buy at your local cake shop, but topped with a scattering of crushed nuts. (To give the restaurant its due - they did send an apology note and a bowl of fruit the next day after I explained why I had only given a small tip) Having a room facing the courtyard was good to reduce street noise, but some more sound-proofing of doors to the corridor would help - I could hear doors opening and closing clearly throughout the night. Lovely touches like malin & goetz toiletries, a comfortable robe, a warm throw on the arm chair, and a great snack selection in the minibar, made it a pleasant stay.

we arrived on a late flight at sfo and called the hotel for our scheduled shuttle pickup. we followed the instructions given to us over the phone and found our shuttle already be waiting for us! passengers were still coming off and i told the driver i was heading to the dylan and he said "okay" and when he finished assisting the party, he jumped into his bus and was about to drive away.

i knocked on the doors and asked if he could take us to the dylan millbrae (like his sign said). he then told me "i'm not your shuttle this time!" and drove off. after 20 minutes of waiting in the cold, two more shuttles came by with the same millbrae dylan sign and when i tried to get on the second time, the same driver said, "i told you it's not me! that's your bus! catch him, he's about to leave!" as the driver was shutting the doors... not a happy start for travelodge dylan. we scheduled a shuttle for us to take us back to the airport as well. they told us the shuttle would arrive between 8-8:15am, and after waiting 15 minutes and no shuttle, we caught a cab which arrived in less than 5 minutes. breakfast is simple and great, room is clean. would like more direction with the shuttle pickup system and a little more maintenance on the significantly torn areas of the carpet and wallpaper in the room.

Embassy Hotel

Based on 99 reviews

I checked in on Nov. 9, 2012 at the Embassy Hotel in San Francisco for 3 nights with some Mongolian friends.

We were on our way back to Ulaanbaatar from a conference and tour in Las Vegas. Our San Francisco experience was a turn-around from the highly charged Vegas town. From the Vegas impersonal atmosphere, we were greeted each day by Embassy Hotel staff who always asked what they could offer, from keeping our luggage in a room when we arrived early for check-in to carting them to our rooms and reminding us of breakfast at the ground floor. The hotel has a vintage ambience, old wall paintings, an elevator only two meters wide that you have to pull and lock the outer door with a small glass window before the inner steel door shuts and you feel the car creak and rise. The hotel is of stone and wood and soft –colored rooms and clean well-lighted bathrooms whose design from floor tiles to plumbing obviously have seen history in the past twenty years or so. Most guests I saw were families or groups of young friends. For my Mongolian friends who enjoyed buying things to bring home, malls and small shops were all within minutes of walking. Before the shops open, we would leisurely walk to the City Hall area and watch bikers, joggers and seniors bundled for the cold. It was the Fisherman’s Wharf at night for seafood and souvenirs. In the few minutes of walk from the hotel down Turk street you would feel a quaint Asian atmosphere, unexpected in my early notion of this American tourist area. For a short stay, the Embassy hotel offers a relaxed peek of the urban and quaint in San Francisco .

Traveler impressions of San Francisco (CA)

San Francisco is amazing destination for who like metropolitan city as well as nature, many different shopping area and attractions especially in Fisherman Wharf areas

SURJATI ,Singapore

Nice place to travel to for short sight seeing trips. Most of the nicer places to visit is outside of San Fran city.

Goh ,Malaysia

Fun city, some cool things to check out. Get the CityPass if there for more than a few days, well worth the money- for $94 you get public transport for a week, Alcatraz, Exploratorium, California Academy of Science and the Aquarium.

Cleary ,Australia

This is a great city with lots to do. Here is a list of must do's when you are there -Alcatraz Island - Golden Gate Bridge Tour - Market Street shopping - PIers / Warf - SS Jerimiah OBrian - Cable Cars - China Town - Golden Gat Park Seagway Tour (AMAZING) Watch out for the homless people, keep moving don't stand still in the street.

At night where a puffy jacket and keep your hands in your pockets..

Dawson ,New Zealand

I've been traveling to San Francisco for the last 50 years it never gets old, I will continue to enjoy all it has to offer.

ODell ,United States

Ask taxi driver to tour you around and to visit different property area (remember to visit Hillsborough for comparision!)

Chan ,Hong Kong

Taxi drivers are nice, though I heard that San Francisco has the most expansive taxi fare, even higher than New York City, so try to use other transportation as much as possible.

Chan ,Hong Kong

Stayed on Market St. near the Civic Center. Bad smell (due to urine) and dirty streets. Walk at your own risk.

Lau ,United States

Need to stay more than 3 day for discover the places in San Francisco. The people was nice and helpful.

The important things was the traffic was not busy and you can drive you card to experience the "hill road" but need to watch out the road sign as in San Francisco has a lot one way road.

Ng ,Malaysia

I want to stay here with my family ! Great city with lots to do as a couple or a family. Close to nature, exciting city and friendly to new ideas

Ng ,Singapore

Premier city to visit - great opportunities for interesting cuisine, good nightlife, unique neighborhoods.

Much to see in the surrounding areas - Marin County and the beaches, towns of the Peninsula and trails/beaches there, Monterey and Big Sur also not too far away.

Yakin ,United States

I love San Francisco! There's so much to do and see (Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Union Square, Fisherman's Warf, Alcatraz, Pershing Square, Chinatown, Palace of Fine Arts, etc.

..). I love the weather in SF and just love SF!

Chou ,United States

The best places to visit are Japantown, Chinatown, Nob Hill, Financial District, AT&T Park. Make sure to see the jewel of the city, Queen Anne Hotel.

Stay away from the Fisherman's Wharf, Haight Ashbury Street and O'Farrell Street. Keep in mind that the impression of the city will be dictated by the purpose of your trip.

Jellison ,United States

It's a beautiful city with a colourful history that can be seen while visiting the many attractions it has to offer.

There is so much to do and see, we absolutely loved it. Great restaurants, beautiful scenery and of course the Golden Gate bridge and Bay Harbour bridge which are amazing to see. Transport is plentiful and walking to various places wasn't so bad either. A very easy city to navigate around and a lot to do outside of the city as well.

Cooper ,Australia

Go to fisherman's market and have some clam chowder at stand. You do not necessarily have to get in restaurants.

The tram driver was really friendly and told me a lot about San Francisco. It was another great experience.

Kawabe ,Japan

Please go beyond 2 nights. 3-5 nights is the minimum for you to enjoy San Francisco. The must visit places are Alcatraz, Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf (they said it's the 2nd most visited places after Disneyland), Golden Gate Bridge, and Union Square (for shopping paradise).

If you have limited time, please do hop on hop off bus tour on your first day so you have the idea what are the places you really want to visit. Try to ride on the cable car even only once. Tips for travelers: please don't think summer months (June-August) are hot in San Francisco because it's foggy. When the fog comes, the temperature drops. End of September to early October is nice since it's warmer. When it's warm (no fog) you'll be able to see the view clearly (Golden Gate, etc). Also, enjoy the free fireworks show every Saturday in October (you may go on evening tour on a boat to see the it with the city skyline as the background). When you have more days, go for a walk in Presidio Park and visit the museums.

Widjaja ,Indonesia

Downtown, near Aida hotel is so bloody filthy and dirty and the smell is terrible, there seem to be more, and more homeless hanging around that area, it's unbelievable.

Nadaku ,United States

Get out the city everything you need to see is outer sub areas witch are much nicer it's easy to just get in the car go for a drive out to find cheap parking everywhere.

Highly recommend the parks .

Raggio ,Australia

The Chinatown within San Francisco is one of the oldest Chinese enclaves in the world. You can find eateries that offer surprisingly good quality cuisine at reasonable prices there.

Lee ,Singapore

Nice city, great public transport, major tourist attractions are accessible by public transport. Good idea to purchase city pass to have unlimited travel on public transport.

Shopping is great

NGUYEN ,Australia

Loved the city. nice laidback feel with rolling streets. everything is convenient and close by to the city centre.

alcatraz island and fishermans wharf are the must goes.

Yoong ,Singapore

SF is good, especially all the Piers. City cleanliness is not what i expected though (being a city of a well developed nation).

Md Zaki ,Malaysia

San Francisco is a filthy city that is saturated with the homeless on nearly every street. Its buildings are decadent although some may find that appealing because it has "character.

" The city is occupied with a stench that makes driving down I-5 an aromatic pleasure. The city does have its positives as well. There are numerous types of cuisines available that cater to the frugal and the upscale diner. One will not have difficulty in identifying a restaurant that caters to their needs. The city has tons of venues that play live music. Addtionally, multiple sports franchises are located nearby.

Zaki ,United States

San Francisco is a food paradise, you may want to visit Fisherman's wharf to eat seafood, its fresh and price is reasonable, but expect to queue before eating.

Tang ,Singapore

San Francisco is a diversified city, with fine weather and beautiful scenary. People are friendly. Public transport is convenient.

The fisherman wharf is lovely. Spring sale in department stores is attrative and worth for money.

Sing Wing ,Hong Kong

Nice place. Well worth a visit. Much more relaxed than New York. Has its problems,ie, its homeless population and we found a lot of the streets to be littered and run down.

Broderick ,Ireland

Walking around is so easy in San Francisco. Get a bus pass and hop on and off at your leisure. Most beautiful city in the USA in my opinion.

Burt ,Australia

SAN FRANCISCO IS RELATIVELY SMALL. BUT ITS QUITE A DISTINCT CITY, WITH ITS CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE SEA AND ITS HISTORY.

IT ALSO HAS INVESTED A LOT IN TOURISM AND THE TOURS SERVICES AND THE SITES THEMSELVES ARE WORTH SPENDING YOUR TIME IN. VARIETY IN CULTURE IS ALSO QUITE EVIDENT IN THE AMAZING CUISINES AVAILABLE

LAVISTE ,Philippines

Great places to see and lots to do. Make sure you hire bikes and ride from fisherman's wharf over the Golden Gate Bridge the get the ferry back great day

duggan ,Australia

THE DIFFERENT HOMES IN THE LOCATION IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CITY. VICTORIAN, THE BEACH HOUSES, EVERYTHING WAS UNIQUE,
