Top City Lights Booksellers Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great hotel in Nob Hill. Loved that the area was so walkable, close to Chinatown and restaurants."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had at a hotel. Hotel was very clean and I didn't notice a single bug anywhere (I've stayed at some bad hotels in the past and this is important) Location was excellent. It was a great stay overall. Now for the negatives,... Air conditioner was very noisy and didn't seem to get cold enough, toilet seat seems to be coming off hinge, the outside pool was not heated and the worst thing for me is they charge an extra $165.00 at check-in. It's more than a little annoying when you think you've paid in full and arrive to find out you still have to pay for some hidden fees."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Such an incredibly unique hotel on the inside. We loved the ambiance. Felt clean and classy and also like we were in Star Wars."

Royal Pacific Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Pretty good stay in between little italy and chinatown!"

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"The pool was great, and the staff was very helpful checking in."

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"Loved staying here. Clean room, clean lobby. Helpful, friendly staff. The bartender wasn’t my favorite but there’s a great dive bar down the street and lots of other places to drink in the city. Planning another stay soon."

Europa Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was helpful. Shared bathroom was not worth it. Chose that option for the shower, but ended up not using it because it was open to the rest of the bathroom (no , wet the whole time we stayed, and seemed like a shower I’d want shower shoes for. Flooring was slightly damaged in the room. Otherwise, conveniently located to many tourist attractions."

Fairmont San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Even a second floor room in the Tower is an incredible view of the bay and Coit tower. We had the corner 1bd suite but saw regular rooms on our floor with the sane exact view. Stunning!!"
