Top Balboa Park Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"The property and the view are beautiful! The parking garage is tight but on site and spaces are readily available. There are sadly only two EV trickle chargers and on a floor that is not for hotel guests. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in the absolute perfect area with multiple entries! It has great views, a peaceful courtyard with tons of games for families! It offers places on every floor to refill your water bottles for free. The room was clean and a good size. They even have a little breakfast trailer for the morning that was convenient. My only complaints is the staff didn’t tell me any of this I had to figure everything out on my own, and the trailer had new people I guess so they double charged me and then gave me the wrong order. They also messed up the order of the people in front of us. So it was a good experience not excellent because the staff wasn’t informative about anything in the hotel all they said was here is your room key and we need a card to charge the amenity fees and the “breakfast staff” didn’t know what that we’re doing."

Grand Hyatt San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"The Hyatt was amazing. I love the location in San Francisco and the staff was very professional and nice. We had a wonderful room that was super clean and the buffet breakfast was fantastic. We also enjoyed the bar for happy hour and the food was delicious. Thanks for such a wonderful weekend. We will definitely stay here again when we’re in the city."
