We stopped by here because we were visiting an attraction in the area. This location was nice and had great service. Everyone was friendly compared to New York, where people aren't as openly nice. We tasted some courtesy water, infused with fruits, which was refreshing after coming walking around these SF streets. Liked the place. Would recommend
3 Hotel Des Arts

Very nicely located and reasonably priced but most importantly with the most kind staff you can think of. I recommend it to everyone!

We spent 3 nights at this hotel. We enjoyed the location and the hotel was elegant, clean and its staff very friendly.
We stayed in one of the upper floors. The king-size bed was very comfortable and the bathroom spacious and clean.
We had a great view to the City and not to the bay, which was perfectly fine with us.
The hotel in general is old but nonetheless very clean and elegant. We would definitely come back to stay here.

The most confused hotel ever. A curios case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Everything is nice on your right side, but the left side leaves a lot to be desired. And I will explain.

Stayed here over thanksgiving 2020 for one night and it was great. Super stylish, great price, conveniently located. They even gave our dog a little goodie bag with a water bowl, treats, toys, etc.

Funky boutique hotel in nob hill/union square area (great location, safe). It's quite large and has a really nice downstairs lounge and multiple sitting areas so good for traveling groups to congregate.
Luis the manager is super nice and hospitable. It was no problem to get an early check in.
The rooms are mostly from the 70s - lots of flowery wallpaper. But, very clean, the bathroom was new, and had all the basics.
Great value to be had here, nice staff, a clean and safe stay. I recommend.

Far beyond my expectations! The whole building is spectacularly charming! The hotel is made with thousands of surprising decorations and thoughtful objects. Louis from the reception is very helpful. Five stars are not enough to express my gratitude.

Cute boutique hotel close to Chinatown and Union Square and a short walk pretty much everywhere else. The hotel staff is helpful and friendly and the rooms are clean and inviting. (although on the smaller side... but that’s SF~)
Just a quick shout out - upon arrival the woman working the front desk was assisting another guest. Rather than waiting by the door, the gentleman working (Jackson at valet I believe) was kind enough to step in to assist. Doesn’t go unnoticed. Thanks for a great stay!

Love the hotel, so clean, neat, and quit. Had great experience. It is my go to hotel, whenever I come to SF! I highly recommend this place, if you anyone is looking for a hotel.

Visited a friend for an afternoon. Lots of natural light, refrigerator, queen size bed, private bathroom, 1 chair, no desk or table but small counter substitute with coffeemaker. It's clean and attractive with a bit of contemporary style. One brick wall, one muted medium blue, two creamy white. Enough space that three of us could socially distance 10 feet apart.

Convenient location from the airport and I am so amazed at the service here. The breakfast buffet is amazing and provides so many western dishes. Kevin provides us with spectacular service and very attentive to our needs. We enjoyed the quiet stay in our hotel room with clean sheets and towels. WiFi is also very fast. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

It’s been a number of years but this property is my favorite in all of SF. I imagine they kept all of the staff over from its Monaco days. They were always the kindest of the 9 properties I’d hop around the Union Square area...

We loved the pool and the amenities like the private beach and raft. The hotel is out of the central town. They had entertainment in the evening, but we were too worn out to participate. The food and service were very good. They are excellent at arranging tours and transportation. I would definitely visit here again!

Nice hotel, comfortable bed which was great. Rainfall shower head was also nice although shower itself was rather small for my preference I'm a big guy so I like to feel like I have space. All in all I would definitely stay again.

Loved this place! The room I stayed in wasn’t huge, but it was definitely comfy and worth the $135/night. Loved the bedding, it was so fluffy and cozy! And the bathroom was huge (it may have been a handicap accessible room though...), the shower had two separately controlled shower heads, and marble floors and walls (I think). Very nice. I enjoyed my day.

Came super early, asked to check in; they could but we had to upgrade for $150. Normally we would get upgraded as Gold Elite members, but they couldn't due to "limited availability." Bit disappointing. Room is super nice, although the double beds are a bit small. No room service and pool is closed due to pandemic. No coffee in room. I should have realized the pool was closed, they sent me an email, but it wasn't clear when I booked it. So all in all an expensive stay that was a bit disappointing. Room is high quality and staff very nice though!

AMAZING! Will be my go to hotel for now on, staff/valet went above and beyond, hotel was walking distance close to mall, stores, and food. Hotel itself was aesthetically pleasing, clean, COVID friendly and safe! So happy with my stay!
