FAQs about hotels in San Francisco









An Icon of Liberalism

Home to one of America’s icons – the Golden Gate Bridge – San Francisco is a liberal city where life is very much for the living.

Surrounded on 3 sides by water, it is spread over steep hills that make for great photo opportunities. None better than the zig-zag Lombard Street seen in many a film. Other movie stars are the streetcars plying the hill climbs – a little touristy, but still worth trying.

In the middle of the bay is Alcatraz island, famed for the notorious criminals once imprisoned there. Even if you don’t fancy going inside, the views towards the bridge and city are unparalleled.

Nowhere in San Francisco is life more laidback than on the Pacific beaches. Hire a bike and head out there via the huge Golden Gate Park, before returning to sample some fresh seafood at Fisherman’s Wharf. The clam chowder served in (yes, actually in!) bread is a delight. Chinatown also has a great selection of good value restaurants.

As you fly into San Francisco Airport, look out for the exclusive homes lining the Bay Area. Whether you want to stay in apartments along those lines, luxury San Francisco hotels or cheap hostels, Booking.com has something to suit. Be careful though – you might just leave your heart here.

    We stayed in union Square area and it was a 5 minute walk from the Powel station bart. The area felt safe and clean, we stayed away from the Tenderloin. Taking the cable cars to peir 39 was fun, so many great places to eat seafood and visit the shops, we saw an improvement in panhandling and streets were clean we are already planning our next visit. We recommend eating at the Sears restaraunt and Lori's 50's diner, the Matador for Mexican food, and The Chancellor Hotel was excellent.

    I love San Francisco for the convenience of walking around and having plenty to do all day. They have plenty of beautiful parks and locations to enjoy the views and sights of San Francisco. There are so many museums and attractions, and so much to learn about the area and it’s cultures and environment. This visit San Francisco looked and felt so much cleaner than a year ago that I visited. My family walked to many places feeling safe.

    Beautiful multi cultural city, you have the harbour, the bridge, alcatraz, fishermans wharf, union square for shopping and eating. We did the movie tour of the city for the 2nd time =,wonderful tour with each stop/ city sector in San Fran connected to movie scenes locations that you can relate to. Makes the experience special. Would def recommend. We also did the ferry to Sausilito, lovely Town on the water with souvenir shopping + restaurants and cafes and great view back to the city. We caught the bus back across the Golden Gate bridge .. recommend that you get $13USD day pass that covers cable cars and buses for the day. The ferry would be additional cost $14 so to save money you could get bus there and back.

    It was fun taking my partner who had just moved to CA to see San Francisco. We went to a concert but were able to walk around for a few hours before on Pier 39. She loved seeing the otters and sea lions. It was a great day. Disappointed in some of the shops closing or changing, but overall, you can't go wrong with a visit to San Francisco. We also enjoyed going to China Town. We will be back!

    I love how Gizele , the front desk was assisteing us. She welcomed us and made sure we got the best room with a nice view. The hotel was near Union Square and Chinatown. It is located in the heart of San Francisco. A lot of restaurants and Starbucks nearby. The staff were awesome. They are very friendly and approachable. They also took care of our luggage when we check out so that we can still tour the city. Our experience is exceptional. Highly recommend. It is also near BART station where you can ride the train to the airport.

    first of all was greeted by the owner, who was so lovely, made me feel very welcome, advised on how to best spend my few days in san francisco, gave me map, advise what to do and where not to go. The room was very clean, quiet and felt warm (in a good way). shared bathroom and toilet were very clean and not too many people sharing with. The hotel was 10 min walk to Union square and just slightly more to the closest train station (there direct train to the airport) so very easy commute.

    We stayed at this hotel as part of our honeymoon. The reception staff were fantastic. The bed and pillows were so comfortable and the view over union square was great, especially at Christmas with the decorations and ice rink. The tram stop is a minute away which provided great links to the wharf area. We recommend jumping off at Washington st on route for the best coffee at coffee movement 😀. In summary, a great hotel in a great location.

    The location of this property was ideal for exploring Union Square and China Town area. Plus easy reach to transport, in fact the trolley was only steps away. High on my priority list for a holiday is a comfy bed and this was the best. The staff are friendly (even gave my daughter chocolates for her birthday). We found the tea/coffee and breakfast pastries a real bonus. Would absolutely recommend this hotel and would stay again.

Room is very comfortable and had everything a tourist needs. Hotel Nikko is a great choice in SF, specially if you want to stay close to downtown.

    It is very well situated, just a block away from union square and market street. The overall vibe of the place was ok, for looks it would get even higher points. The common areas look well designed. It feels like a boutique hotel for much cheaper price. And that is a big thing in SF where very shitty places can ask you hundreds of dollars for a night.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was a great base for exploring San Francisco and the Bay area. We had great fun, and this hotel was part of that.
