Top Embarcadero Hotel Reviews

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was spacious had a nice view it was clean. The staff was really nice and helpful and the location of parc 55 was excellent. we were walking distance from union square and Chinatown there were a lot of places to go eat ."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is ideally centred in an excellent location. The hotel is not modern and has a certain charm. The furnishings are a little worn and dated. Overall the staff were professional and friendly although there was a minor issue regarding extending a room stay for one member of the party which was surprisingly over complicated by the front desk staff on duty at the time. Despite this issue I would highly recommend the hotel."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was excellent, good variety and very polite staff that kept it constantly topped up. The hotel also had a grab and go which had coffee, food and snacks until 10 at night.The location made it easy to get around. It was walkable to pier 39 , fisherman’s wharf sign and lots more . There was a tram stop and 2 bus stops nearby. Bus 28 takes you to the bridge and then you can get back on and go to the park. Our room was on a cross road which made it very noisy at night, loud cars constantly driving up and down, the tram and lots of other noise which of course isn’t the hotels fault , it’s just because it is so near to the front. There are quite a lot of homeless in the city and they are often around the fire pits at the hotel but we never had a problem with them."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"This is a hidden gem! We were somewhat leery booking this property because the price was $150 for the night. What we experienced was a great boutique style hotel. The room was smaller but had a large walk in closet, which you don’t see in hotels. This allowed us to put luggage in there and made the room feel bigger. Highly recommend staying here!"
