Top Pier 48 Hotel Reviews

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great location!"

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The bathroom light was hard tofind"

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"The staff were so friendly and helpful, couldn’t do enough for you. The bar area is great, the rooms are comfortable and spacious. Location is right at the top of the steep hill at California St but the cable car stop is also there. The only reason I haven’t given it a 5* is the breakfast could be improved. You have to hand in a breakfast buffet voucher (pay extra for à la carte) and you are handed a plate (v old and scratched). Options are limited and no table service. You have to make your own tea in a paper cup. That doesn’t make it a luxury hotel in my view."

Club Quarters Hotel Embarcadero, San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Gets the job done. Small room but enough to lay your head. Clean. Cleaning staff did good job ensuring clean sheets and towels daily, which was great."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay. Perfect location. Rooms were great, staff was friendly. Loved the little store, Perfect for grabbing a snack or coffee."

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"Tired basic hotel. Clean and fairly good value for money. Air con worked but rattled a bit. We had no cleaning service on Sunday just a bit under the door saying due to high occupancy we are unable to service your room. I had to phone and go down for more coffee pods. Choice maker and small fridge in rooms which was nice. Very good location with bus rides and train station all 2 minute walk. Large supermarket within 7-10 min walk."

Harbor Court Hotel
