Top Portsmouth Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Nikko San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Was a quick one night. I arrived at 5pm and left at 8am. The sushi restaurant was good, I didn’t use the pool or gym or anything else. The room was nice and clean."

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"The room was great, bed and pillows cozy, breakfast buffet full of options. I would stay here again. My only caution is to tell the valet WELL in advance thay you want your car pulled up."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I stayed at this hotel during early September to celebrate a birthday. We had an amazing experience, both from the living space and the staff. Staff were extremely helpful at every step of our visit, giving recommendations and where to go, where to eat, and offering assistance with transportation if needed. Breakfast was included and it was amazing, and there is frequent rotation of certain food items, so you never get bored. They also heated the pool during cold nights which was fantastic. The location on Fisherman's Wharf was great as well, and there were many things to do in the area, or just strolling around the water front which is what we did on nights where we were exhausted and wanted the chance to unwind. There's also a running path on the Wharf, which was excellent and convenient on days the hotel gym was pretty full (which it will get). My only qualm is that they do not offer water after check in, which I found weird, but there is no issue there as there is a Bargain Store right across the street from the hotel that offers inexpensive options for water. Overall, 9/10 experience and will be returning soon!"

Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Convenient location."

Grand Hyatt San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel! Right in Union Square. Beds were very hard and pillows kind of sucked. But overall the rooms were nice and very clean. We were on the 29th floor which was a cool view Parking is horrible and because we have a bigger truck they couldn’t valet it and had no idea how to help us and just kind of left us to figure it out, Thankfully we found ONE garage down the street that took bigger vehicles (thanks ChatGPT for finding it)."

Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very good experience staying close to Union Square."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"The Chancellor Hotel has a great location on the Powell Street cable car line, half a block from Union Square and four blocks from Market Street. It's an old hotel, built 100 years ago, so the hallways are irregular and the elevator seems ancient. But everything works. The hotel doesn't serve breakfast -- I recommend the croissants at One65 on O'Farrell Street, two blocks away -- but it does serve drinks at night. They also offer cookies, apples, a coffee machine and lemon-infused cold water in the lobby (although a couple of times they were out of the water). They also have a machine in the lobby to fill water bottles. The hotel notes that they don't have air conditioning. That's generally not a problem. The rooms do have ceiling fans that help when it's warm. I'd stay there again."

Grant Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Grant Plaza Hotel is my go-to when the city isn’t too busy. I stay here quite a lot, especially when I’m in the city for work, so the staff knows me by now. It’s affordable, the staff is awesome, and I always feel welcome here. It was one of the hottest days of the year, and I really didn’t want to go back home, so I booked a room within minutes. This time around, I actually arrived at the hotel at a decent hour! They even asked if I needed a quiet room. Of course, I said, “Yes, please!” It’s little touches like these that make me come back. There is always someone at the front desk, so if you are out late they will buzz you in. The housekeepers are very welcoming too and always make a point to say hello. It really gives the hotel a friendly, familiar feel. One tip: bring your favorite lotion and conditioner. They do provide soap and a shampoo/conditioner combo, but the two-in-one doesn’t work particularly well with my hair. Overall, Grant Plaza Hotel is one of the best inexpensive hotels in the city."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA

8/10 Good

"The bathroom was ok except the water when you shower the water is not draining well! Staff was so so, we didn’t have breakfast at the hotel, parking was ok."
