Top Chinatown Hotel Reviews

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is very close to all the big theaters for live production in the city. The streets do have some homeless people in spots, but I felt very comfortable walking around, day or night. It never felt dangerous. It's also close to a Bart Station, (Powell) which was convenient. I got a good rate, and feel it was a bargain. I would stay again. "

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

8/10 Good

"For the price, it’s a decent hotel. Queen room is very small so if you have multiple suitcases, it could be an issue leaving them open on the floor. Walls are quite thin so you can hear a conversation on the other end. Perfect location and walking distance to plenty of areas and public transport options."

Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The location is perfect for catching a baseball game. The room was clean, the staff is amazing and friendly. I appreciated that my room was ready early and the time I did wait they kept my bags so I could explore the city. When my room was ready I received a text, it was easy and efficient."
