Hotel Riu San Francisco

Big hotel in a good location. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was top notch. Heads above other hotel breakfasts. We didn’t have a whole lot of interaction with staff but they were friendly when we did. Pier 39 is a short walk away. There is an overpriced 7/11 and good IHOP nearby. The fireplaces outside are a nice touch and used by many guests. Would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Very nice and clean. Handy to Pier 39 being only a 5 minute walk away. Staff were very helpful and friendly. A little expensive to park your car there daily. No laundry facilities but there are laundromats close by. Breakfast is very substantial with a wide choice for everyone. Highly...

We stayed here in late February. The hotel staff were friendly, room was pretty clean when we checked in (minor hair in the shower) and the bed and pillows were so comfortable - even my partner complimented the bed and that is a rare occurrence! The staff was extremely friendly,...

We stayed here in late February. The hotel staff were friendly, room was pretty clean when we checked in (minor hair in the shower) and the bed and pillows were so comfortable - even my partner complimented the bed and that is a rare occurrence! The staff was extremely friendly, and we got a free upgrade during check in. They offer a breakfast buffet with options for everyone. Location is within walking distance of some of the big touristy areas in downtown, including fisherman’s wharf and Pier 33 (Alcatraz landing location). Lots of restaurants nearby, walking distance to Ghiradelli square, cable cars etc. They have nice fire pits out front where you can sit on cooler evenings as well. The bathrooms are a little small (toilet and shower in a room with a door, sink on the outside), but pretty minor overall. There are daily resort fees, and parking is a bit steep ($60 USD which is almost what we paid for the car in CDN!) but it is underground and a relatively safe option. We were informed of the fees prior to check in which was great. All in all a great hotel and we would definitely stay again!

Great location, staff all helpful, the room was large and well equipped. Breakfast was incredible catering for anything you could need. We stayed on the first floor, it was quiet and comfortable. Whilst we wouldn’t return to San Francisco (it has far too many social issues), this hotel is superb...

Great location, staff all helpful, the room was large and well equipped. Breakfast was incredible catering for anything you could need. We stayed on the first floor, it was quiet and comfortable. Whilst we wouldn’t return to San Francisco (it has far too many social issues), this hotel is superb and I’d recommend it.

To be honest great location for fisherman’s wharf and pier 39 but on arrival my husband was speaking to a lady on reception who was not a very pleasant person she looked like she does not like her job .to be honest if I owned a hotel she is one person I would NOT have front of house but thankfully a lovely pleasant young man on reception helped us. One of the nights there was a group of students in the reception area spitting in the bins in this area close to the reception in full view of the staff on reception.the staff completely ignored them not nice to be sitting having a drink and this going on beside you .but in saying this two people stood out and made the stay at the hotel a good experience, one was the amazing Jean in the grab and go such a wonderful lady , pleasant ,welcoming and hard working and the next person was Oscar behind the bar who was great for a chat and very professional and hard working .only for these two members of staff the stay would not have been as good as it was

The hotel has a great location, situated right next to Pier 39, which made exploring the area really convenient. The room itself was spacious, offering plenty of comfort after a long day of sightseeing. I was pleasantly surprised by the buffet breakfast, which had a wide variety of options, including...

The hotel has a great location, situated right next to Pier 39, which made exploring the area really convenient. The room itself was spacious, offering plenty of comfort after a long day of sightseeing. I was pleasantly surprised by the buffet breakfast, which had a wide variety of options, including gluten-free bread, gluten-free cereal, and both soya and lactose-free milk—something that's not always easy to find. The hotel bar was also a nice spot to unwind at the end of a busy day, offering a good place to relax and enjoy a drink. The concierge staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. However, the reception staff were quite slow at checking people in, which created a bit of a frustrating wait when we arrived. Another downside was the noise from the bus depot right behind our room. It was especially loud in the early hours of the morning, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

V busy hotel, great location on mason and Bay St with tram and bus stop nearby. Nice ambience and staff are obliging and helpful. We'd normally stay in Marriott or Accor hotels but we'd a great stay at Hotel Riu Plaza España, Edificio España on Madrid’s Gran Vía May 2024,...

V busy hotel, great location on mason and Bay St with tram and bus stop nearby. Nice ambience and staff are obliging and helpful. We'd normally stay in Marriott or Accor hotels but we'd a great stay at Hotel Riu Plaza España, Edificio España on Madrid’s Gran Vía May 2024, so we tried here. It did not disappoint. Not quite as grand as Madrid but equally charming. We had a ground floor room with a patio (which was on the shade side of the terrace/pool area in the evening). The room had a few wrinkles but everything worked (albeit with some tweaking). The breakfasts are to die for (they serve salmon alternate or 2/5 days). This is a great favourite. They have a snacks shop on the ground floor near the bar. The hotel is in walking distance of all the fisherman's wharf and tourist transport hubs. Trader joes 2 blocks away and good Thai a block away. Hyde and Powell able cars close by.
