Great hotel, great service and great location”

first time in san francisco, and this was a great hotel to stay at. staff was very friendly, helpful and they go out of their way for their guests great location in nob hill, near all the great locations in san francisco. a lot of attractions are walking distance or you can take the cable car to all these place great room views, clean hotel, classic building

Nice place great location”

Intercontinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco Hotel was a nice place. Located on the top of Nob Hill it was within walking distance of most of the places we visited. Make you pack some comfortable walking shoes. A cable car crosses right in front of the hotel. The band playing in The Top Of The Mark was awsome and had a great atmosphere. I woulsd stay there again

Prestigious Hotel best offers”

Brilliant Hotel i”

great hotel in a wonderful location in san francisco. 5 minute downhill walk to cbd (15 back it is steep). 10 minute walk to fishermans wharf. cable cars available to both locations. rooms big and clean. view from 15th flor bar and restaurant very good. entertainment most nights also good.

Traditional old world hotel with great views”

Stayed for two nights. Old world traditionally styled hotel with awesome views of San Francisco in higher floors. Also good 24 hours business center which I used during the trip. Rooms are adequately sized, not as small as some people suggest. Nob Hill excellent location as right across from Fairmont and wealthy neighborhood. Hotel service is good, not extraordinary. Got great deal on room rate so if you can get this hotel for under, think good deal due to location.

great place ”

i loved the place, the room was big, great bed, great service, fast efficient, the "top of the ark" restaurant is amazing, the view all over San Francisco is simply stunning. the only disappointing bit is the extra charge of 15 to 20 USD for a wireless connection

Too Bad About All The Tourists”

It's a great location, with amazing views of the city. The hotel its self is charming in how old it is. I enjoy historic hotels. The one drawback is all the tourists who clog up the tiny elevators, trying to get to Top of the Mark. Re: Top of the Mark, you, along with any yahoo off the street, are waiting for a table in a small area. Once inside, you are seating next to people acting like this is Senior Frogs on Spring Break. The menu is also indicative of a tourist location. Honestly, it's too bad they have catered to tourists, rather than an upscale experience. So much potential, and San Francisco certainly has the type of clientele who could visit an upscale bar in an otherwise upscale hotel.

Staying at the Mark-Hopkins, SF”

The Inter-Continental Mark Hopkins is atop Nob Hill, alongside the Fairmont, the Huntington, and Grace Cathedral -- the best location in SF. The rooms are reasonably sized and well furnished. The service is courteous and friendly. The bar on the top floor has a stunning view. At half-price, I considered the room a very good value, and was happy to stay there for five days. You do have to take a taxi or cable car to get back up to the top of Nob Hill each time, unless you are very young and fit. That's the only drawback, not of the hotel but of the location. But it's well worth it, in my opinion.

Love this Hotel”

You can feel the old history of this Hotel. Beautiful rooms and views of San Francisco. Great location! Can't wait to visit again.

Be a "Noble" on top of the "Nob Hill" of SFO”

Top of the Mark is highly recommended. Dressing code and on-the-day performance could be viewed at the lift lobby. Extra charge per person is required for on-the-day performance if any. Evening visit is preferred, due to the fantastic night view of San Francisco.

Very disapponted at this Intercontinental”

This Intercontinental was really disappointing. I got a "base" fare apparently very inexpensive, then bad surprises materialized. Parking fee was $ 57 per night, Internet was not free and charged at $ 18 per night at a speed incredibly low, calls at 1-800, that are free all over the Country, were chargeg at $ 1.75 each. I recommend travelers to stay in the Fisherman Wharf area, where parking and other fees are much more moderate. Never again at the Intercontinental in San Francisco

heritage hotel with great location”

this hotel is consider ones with landmark and convinience place to live in , among ones of the most lovely hotel in the san francisco areas that no ones can forget to forget .

Not up to Intercontinental Standard”

It is an old hotel, when we made the booking we thought Intercontinental Hotel is a safe choice. However, upon arrival we realised the hotel is pretty old, the room is very dated. Service is so-so. The Top of Marks restaurant is well known of its view but the food was just so-so, we had breakfast there costing over USD30 per head but very limited choice of buffet but yet the view is very amazing indeed. There are many other better option than this, its price reflects the standard of the hotel but it was out of our expectation on a Intercontinental, so we were a little bit disappointed.

Mark Hopkins”

Both my son and I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and we both enjoyed our stay there with the only down side being the noise (we were on the 4th floor) from the cable car going up and down california street. Overall the service and the facilities at the hotel were excellent. The staff were friendly and very professional. . Although the "Top of the Mark" restaurant was a bit expensive the view from it was wonderful. The rooms were great. The hotel sits right on top of Nob Hill and, although the views are excellent the climb from either side is not for the faint hearted.Would stay there again

terrific location, local color, above traffic”

took one hour to check in---all about security--i didn't have the right documents--the desk clerks and managers were adamant, though apologized for the inconvenience. made zero sense. started out awful, especially with the sign behind the counter: "best hotel" award. i was asked to sign 4 pages of no smoking rules and then they gave me a room on the 5th floor that was unacceptable--the smell of stale smoke was toxic. they did move me to a clean room on the 8th floor after that.i am not usually a difficult guest, but this was supposed to be such a posh place, evidenced by the 6.50$ price on the bottle of water in the room.. the room was comfortable, the location, especially being above the traffic and the crowds, was very inviting. the fitness room , though small, was adequate, and the park across the street was welcoming and full of local color: the tai chi ladies early in the morning, the dog walkers, the kids playing in the sand...and the restaurant, top of the mark, was fantastic. expensive 75$ brunch on sunday, but when you make a morning of it, it is very pleasant

very traditional and plush hotel”

this is a lovely hotel, elegant, traditional and very plush. the top of the mark is great location to while away an afternoon or an evening.

Pricey, but very nice hotel”

hotel was a little dated, but alluded to a more glamorous past. bathroom and tv were updated. didn't get a chance to try out the wifi. location is central to many tourist areas, but a little far to walk considering the massive hill you have to walk up coming from union square, financial district, embarcadero, the wharf, and china town. there's a trolley nearby, and always cabs. staff was courteous and professional, but not overflowing warmth. view from my room, 519, was ugly rooftop if you looked down, but still a nice partial view of the bay otherwise. room was big and bed was extremely comfortable. decor was a little dated, but not distractingly so. these are things i would've easily overlooked if the price was a little lower. i thought it was a bit pricey, and would probably opt for a little less expense in a higher traffic area next time. however, the location did make it quiet, for the traveler looking to relax. overall, it was pricey, but not outrageous due to the deal i got on agoda ... reg $, paid $ + tax.

Very comfortable ”

Apart from a wonky wifi connection that made me go up and down to the front desk multiple times, the hotel intercontinental was a marvelous stay. Toilets were a little small, but the huge bed made up for it!

Good location and very friendly staff”

it was a pleasant experience to stay in the hotel. staff will greet you even in the driveway and help with your luggages. there are adequate number of hotel personnel behind the desk so the checkin is quick and hassle free. the room is well appointed, very soft bed and a large lcd tv. the only problem with the tv is the picture is too dark and one is unable to adjust it. the quality was not hd. the room is very clean and is maintained that way daily.

Fantastic hotel. Great service and great location”

The hotel was in a great location and we found it was close to everywhere. The hotel itself was lovely and clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We bought a 3 day cable car pass and caught it up the hill every time. It was very convenient. The shops were very close and it was only about a 5 - 10 min walk down the hill. There are plenty of little cafes or restaurants to have breakfast, lunch and dinner around. The hotel's buffet breakfast is also great. Having a drink up the top of hotel is a must. We also had a meal and were very pleased. All in all, we had a lovely trip and enjoyed out stay very much.
