Handlery Union Square Hotel

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel. Staff very helpful. We didn’t use the pool as too busy sightseeing but was told it was heated and open 8am to 8pm. Room was clean and had a good size bed with tv. Shower and bathroom was adequate for what I needed. Would stay here again if in San Francisco."

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at The Hilton the night before an early flight at SFO. Check in was easy, the desk staff are very friendly. We got snacks from the tiny marketplace next to the desk and later got dinner from the restaurant. The rooms are spacious and comfy beds. Not our first time or our last."

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

8/10 Good
"The hotel is nice and clean, the area around is not really safe, but one can avoid walking in Tenderloin in the evening and rather hit directly to the safer part of the hotel area. I found the service average, which is maybe not what people would expext from a hotel chain such as Hilton. Nevertheless, I would recommend the hotel for your stay in San Francisco!"
