Hotell Sir Francis Drake, a Kimpton Hotel - San Francisco

Fint hotell men ingen bullerisolering i fönster vilket gör att alla ljud utifrån hörs in.

Perfekt läge för världens bästa shopping. Gång avstånd till allt. Gammalt och charmigt hotell.

Med sitt centrala läge invid Union Square har detta hotell ett bra läge för den som besöker SF för första gången. Spårvagnar mot Pier 39 avgår några meter från hotellets entre. Hotellets bar Drake ligger i hotellets lobby. Baren har en historisk legend med en tidigare dold bar som användes vid tiden för spritförbudet i USAs tidiga 1900-tal och nås via […] en dold dörr i en av hotellets hissar - fråga personalen så visar de den. Hotellets dörrvärdar är klädda i klassisk engelsk stil och en sevärdhet enbart dem. Trevlig och genuint servicevänlig personal gör att detta är ett hotell man gärna återkommer till. Läs mer

Hotel was elegant and nicely furnished but lacked some expected amenities. There was no coffee maker in the room so that meant a trip to the lobby in the morning for free coffee. Although we were pretty close to the elevator we couldn't hear it which was good. The elevator's themselves were pretty slow to arrive which was a small inconvenience when […] your room is on the 17th floor. All in all, we enjoyed our stay Läs mer

Wonderful hotel centrally located in Union Square. I would definitely considerate staying here again.

Elevators and some of the common areas need updating, like new carpet and wall materials. Old hotel with lots of decor updates 9in the bar and bedrooms) but they could use a real renovation. There looked like there were layers and layers of paint on the wood surfaces. Bathrooms are uber-small! Not great toiletries. The write-up said it came with a robe […] but there were wasn't one in my room. No water or mini-bar in the room. Feel you are paying for location more than anything else. Läs mer

Great room and service. Bathroom not large enough for a gnat.

Room 917 was ABSOLUTLY gorgeous for my single night stay. Although I did not get in until 4:00am, I slep like a baby in my plush room and cozy bed... Forever STELLER, Forever The Drake!!!!!!

Very nice boutique hotel just by Union Sq in San Fran, The hotel is very clean, rooms are decent size for a city hotel and well yet not overly appointed. Huge closets, as big as a home closet! Staff is also quite friendly. BART station within 3 block walk, cable car right outside and many diners, restaurants, pubs can stores nearby.

Everything was great! Don't listen to the bad reviews.

Nice hôtel, Staff is friendly. Nice location, close to everything. Scala restaurant is nice, bad expérience with starlight room, the service doesn't fit with the standard of the hôtel.

Located in Union Square. Heart of the shopping district in SF. Close walk to China Town, and North Beach. Could not ask for better location. Hotel was built in 20's. Has that classic look, that has been renovated. Very elegant. Has "classic" issue. Old hotels have smaller rooms and very small bathrooms. Elevators are slow compared to new hotels. Don't […] bring your car. Only valet parking that is very expensive per night and takes up to 45 minutes for valet to bring your car. Overall, good experience just understand that old hotels were built differently than new ones. Läs mer

Although this is an old hotel with small rooms, my wife and I were quite comfortable. Our room was in excellent repair and the bed was really good. The location near Union Square in the heart of San Francisco makes it convenient to walk the city; we walked easily to Coit Tower, the Ferry Building, and the MOMA and the Moscone Center. Since we went to […] SF by train we didn't have to pay the outrageous SF parking rates. Läs mer

I recently stayed for two nights and absolutely loved it. The hotel staff were extremely polite, helpful, and welcoming. The lobby is luxurious and beautiful. My room was calm, clean, and filled with light. My stay was perfect!

I arrived early, way before noon. Chris at reception was very accommodating and I was able to get in a room right away. That was great since I could then go about visiting a few sites in San Francisco sooner.

I am a meeting and event planner that used the Sir Francis Drake in the past for groups but had never been there myself. I decided to change that on a recent visit over Christmas. So I booked myself, my husband and my dad two historic queen rooms. Upon arrival, without even asking, the hotel upgraded both of our rooms to king beds. Very appreciated! Our […] room was right next to the elevators...didn't hear any noise from them at all. The room was beautiful. They maintained the lovely architecture and mouldings in the room while updating everything else. The rooms were a calm, subdued purple with white crown moulding. There was enough room for a chair, ottoman, desk and flatscreen tv - plus plenty of space for us to move around in. Bathroom was small but I do recognize that hotel-goers in the 1920's weren't expecting soaker tubs and small apartment-sized spaces. I had been concerned from reading other reviews, and even from the hotel's own description of their "historic rooms" that we were about to walk into a closet. Well that was not the case! My dad's room was equally great. As a great bonus, they even have a program where each day of your stay that you do not change your linens, you get a $10 voucher for the bar. So every night we had complimentary cocktails at the bar in the lobby before leaving for dinner. What's to say about the location...absolutely perfect for anyone wanting to experience the city. Convenient for tourists (the trolley stops right outside the door) - the location is so central that we were able to walk to every venue. We were completely sold on the Sir Francis Drake and will probably make it our go-to hotel every time we come to the city. And as a meeting planner, I can now send my groups there with confidence. For the naysayers, it is an old hotel with history and aged walls...but I thinks she looks great for being 84 years old! Läs mer

Great view of Union Square and walking distance to everything we wanted to do. Nice size room and comfy bed but paper thin walls. My husband and I were away just to get some rest and had two small, crying children in the next room. With their bed right up against the wall to our bed, you could hear every whine and every unanswered solution the mom had […] to offer. Not the way I wanted to wake up especially at 7:00am on a getaway! We had told the front desk I was a very light sleeper and needed a quiet location so I was surprised they placed a family next to us. Beautiful hotel though with a GREAT location. Läs mer

I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. There was no hot water to shower, there were tiny ants all around the sink in the bathroom, and the rooms are so tiny.

Very nice hotel right in the middle of the city. Historic location so rooms are small and the bed was a little hard for my taste but others may prefer that. Good amenities, helpful staff and great location.

The hotel has a great location. It also holds great charm. The rooms are a little small but fashionable updated. I would definitely stay again

I stayed during Xmas holidays and had a neighbor come home at about 130am and made noise until roughly 430am...walls paper thin and hotel security called. Drake comped night...that is only reason would not rebook in future...would ask for quietest room possible!

As part of our Christmas tradition we had taken our 8 and 6 year olds to see the Nutcracker, but thought it would be fun to spend the night in the city. The Sir Francis was a wonderful choice! It was close to all the shopping, great restuarants, and ice skating rink. We had a blast.

The hotel was great, nice design and seemed to pay a respectable homage to it's historical roots. Great location, delicious restaurant downstairs, my only complaint was the small room, but it didn't put a damper on our visit.

Desk clerk was an awesome help during our stay. It was my wife's birthday and we had planned on going to Harry Denton's for an evening of dining and dancing. Harry Denton's was booked for a christmas function and the restaurant next door was booked. He was able to get us into the restaurant and provide some complimentary certificate for the evening. […] So a potentially disasterous even became quite nice Läs mer

Ok firstly let me premise this review with some words of wisdom, "you get what you pay for". This hotel looks really great from the outside, and has the feel of a 5 star hotel, BUT the experience I had was far from that, firstly the valet bill (which cannot be posted) cost 1/4 of what the room was. Ok it's the city so I guess we can expect that.... […] Next the front desk only had minimal staff, it took us a good 15/20 minutes before we could even check in. The front desk clerk tried to be friendly but we could sense that the stress of being the only one on the front desk was getting to her. Then we got to the room.... It reminded me of a dorm room I once stayed in, in New York City, I loved the renovations but the room I got through this hotels.com deal was, and I hate to say this (a hole in the wall). I expected a little more class from this caliber of hotel but the the best way to describe the deal is just "eh", for the amount we payed for the room, I would probably not recommend this hotel.

Staff at the hotel were friendly and efficient. Our room was nice but small; not a big problem since there is so much to do in SF that you don't stay in it for long. We loved the convenience of walking to the major department stores and numerous restaurants.

It's a party hotel. Needs restoration and some stile to it. Noisy and tiny rooms for the queen bed. Not worth the money.

A great, fun hotel in the middle of Union Square in San Francisco. Definitely recommend it!

Good Hotel in the center of downtown at reasonable money. If you need best comfort and ready to pay - not right choice.

We checked in on Christmas night around 9:30pm. The first room we were given was very very tiny - the TV was on a side wall so you had to lie sideways on the bed to watch it - literally 2 feet between end of bed and the wall. Luckily for us, the heat wasn't working - we came back from dinner in Chinatown and the room was freezing cold so we requested […] a move. A few minutes passed and we were given a key to another room - we moved our bags down and, while the room was more spacious, there was an annoyingly loud exhaust fan noise coming from the bathroom which couldn't be turned off so we requested another move. Bellman appeared and moved us across the hall - lo an behold, the window in this room would not close! Finally, on our 4th try, we were given a room that was large, comfortable, and everything worked properly. The hotel also graciously granted us a generous room credit toward our stay which we were able to use in their restaurant, Scala's Bistro - which is pretty awesome. We love staying at the Sir Francis Drake and were happy the rest of our stay. Läs mer

Great place in a superb location. Since parking and taxes for parking alone run $57 a night, it might be worth taking a cab if you will be there for a few nights.
