I appreciated that the theme of the hotel was about the graduates from Berkeley. They had a photo booth and the staff were very happy to snap some photos. The room was clean and spacious. I also like that the lobby is lively and comfortable to hang out. It fell very festive atmosphere to celebrate our son's graduation."Reviewed May 19, 2026Return • Sydney (SYD) - San Francisco (SFO)SYD - SFO • 1 stop SFO - SYD • 1 stopAU$2,631AU$2,572found 1 hour agoper traveller

Hilton San Francisco Financial District
"We got a room on a lower floor overlooking rooftops. It was not great or worth the money we paid. I think the hotel is outdated. The air wasn’t working. The sheets were very scratchy. There are better properties in the City at a better value."
