At the middle of everything”
Great choice for a hotel. Staff was friendly. Was close to Union Square, Powell Station (if you want to try the cable car), our family walked to Lombard Street which was 15 blocks from the hotel, (we didn't mind the walk). San Francisco is such a nice city, and this hotel will be a great choice for your stay. It comes with a super small kitchen, has a mini ref, a microwave oven, pretty much all we needed for our short stay in SanFo.

Noisy at night if your room is in the street side. We requested a quite room but got the room in the street side and had to request to be moved. Noise was really bad.
Besides that a perfect pkace to walk arpund the city.

Perfect Stay”
Great location, close to Union Square, groceries and shopping. Rooms feel newly renovated with sink, microwave and fridge in all of them. They have a drinking water machine in the lobby; you can refill your bottles, save some $$ and the inconvenience of hauling water gallons or bottles from the stores. Club floor has complimentary coffee, hot chocolate and tea most of the day. No issues with room cleanliness, they even did our dishes. Considering SF hotel prices, awesome value for the money (even more so if you need a room for 5 people, that most other hotels can't accomodate)!

Lovely but Loud”
Location, Comfortable
the donatello was great for us as it was close to public transport, including the train from the airport and heaps of shops and restaurants. the room was fine but there wasn't a lot of sound-proofing. there is a nightclub across the road which was pumping music and crowds until the wee hours. there also seemed to be police sirens going regularly and it was really loud in our room! i don't know if we were just unlucky on the room we had or it was a particularly busy few nights in san francisco!

Great location near Union Square”
Central location.
Although a little dated looking, the Donatello is a great choice if you're looking for something a block or so from Union Square. Rooms are a good size and well maintained. Staff were pleasant and easy to deal with. We were able to access our room even though we were about 3 hours ahead of check-in time.

My wife was feeling ill at the time we arrived at the hotel. At 930am, I thought it would be impossible for the hotel to check us in that early, but after talking to Evita about our situation, she managed to find us a room so that my wife could rest. Very appreciative to the staff for doing that.

立地が良い”
8泊しました。部屋が広く、キッチン付きで費用が高くなく、立地が良いと言う条件で探した結果、こちらに決めました。
部屋は広く、大きめのソファで自宅に居る様に寛げました。
キッチンは使いやすい電子レンジと食器等備わり、簡単な調理ができ、食費を節約する事が出来ました。
パウエル駅迄は7〜8分歩きますが、ツアーバス乗り場が目の前で、近くのケーブルカー乗り場も始発駅より空いていて、すぐに乗る事が出来ました。
初日に就寝中の札をかけ忘れたところ、火災報知器の検査やタオル交換、使った食器の交換、コーヒーの追加等スタッフが別々に何度も来て落ち着きませんでした。
カードキーが効かないのでフロントに持って行ったところ、すぐに直してくれ、スマホなどの電子機器と一緒にすると効きにくくなる事を教えてくれました。
部屋は静かで、ほとんどのスタッフは親切で、快適に過ごすことが出来ました。

サンフランシスコ観光に非常に便利な立地。ホテルのフロントの対応もしっかりしていた。また部屋は広く、ベッドやソファーなどの状態もよい。
部屋にはバスタブの他、電子レンジやコーヒーメーカーもあり、子連れでも不自由しない。
ホテルの朝食は、値段の割にやや不満だった。この一帯ではどこも同じようなモノらしいが
同程度の料金のホテルの中から選んだのだが、部屋や立地、フロントの対応は素晴らしかった。マーケットストリートまで行けば、食事やショッピングにも困ることはない。価格を考えると、非常に素晴らしいホテルだったと思う。
