Top Hotels Near War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco from AU$180

"I have been waiting for this pool to open for nearly a year. Keep bringing a bath suit bc they say it’s either open or will be open by the 3/6. Didn’t happen. No snacks and restaurants close early in the area. Also restaurants are extremely expensive. "

"Just far enough from the rougher parts of town but ideal location to see most of what you’d want for walking around. The staff were great, very personable and friendly. Not haunted either. "

"Lovely historical building with charming room and fun lobby (pool, a bar, lots of seating)."

"The hotel is very central to restaurants, the Big Bus tours, and cable cars. Also a mile or two from the Marketplace, chinatown, bay cruises and lots more. "

"I’m hoping someone reads this review because I wish I had read reviews before booking. First, this hotel is not affiliated with Embassy Suites. That’s what I assumed when I booked, but it’s actually a completely separate hotel called The Embassy. It’s located in the Tenderloin District, one of the rougher areas of San Francisco. The location was not clearly advertised when booking, and if you’re a solo female traveler, I would strongly recommend avoiding this area. They even lock the front entrance door, so at times you have to ring a bell to be let in. That alone should tell you how rough the neighborhood can be. To be fair, the towels and linens were clean and the staff was friendly, but the hotel itself is very dated and worn. The building has an old charm, but the moment we walked into our room it smelled like cigarette smoke, even though it’s supposed to be smoke-free. We had to notify management.There is no air conditioning, only an old furnace system that may or may not work. Luckily San Francisco weather is cool, so opening the window helped, but the street noise is loud, which may bother some guests. Also, the photos on Expedia are heavily filtered and misleading compared to the actual condition of the hotel.Amenities are minimal, only a small fridge, no real extras, and the TV isn’t Bluetooth enabled. If you just need a cheap place to sleep, it may be fine. But if you prefer cleaner, more modern accommodations or are traveling alone, I’d recommend staying elsewhere."

"Our room was attractive. We were on the street so it was a little noisy at night. We enjoyed the coffee in the morning in the restaurant. The staff was helpful. Parking is expensive!"

"Yotel is an idea spot, especially if you are going to shows at Bill Graham Civic center! Suvch a quick walk! We also loved that Bay Wheels was right up front. We used the bikes to get all around the city and had a blast!"

"Nice place, friendly staff clean room"

"The parking situation is ridiculous. They expected me to park on some side street by the hotel where a bunch of homeless people were bent over on fentanyl with their butts out. Then they expected me to allow somebody to drive my car down the street to the parking garage. That is not going to happen. I asked if I could just drive my car to the parking garage and the front desk guys said oh you have to come and check in first and then he said I couldn’t do it and then he sent me to some other garage so then I parked at some of the parking garage at a different hotel when I’m not sure why I couldn’t drive my car to the parking garage myself and just walk back to the hotel. It’s hard to communicate at the front desk when I think it’s gonna be a simple process. Hand the guest a paper that says these are the list of parking garage that you can go to and this is the parking garage that we can build your hotel room these are the addresses. It shouldn’t be so damn difficult. This place is awful. And the rooms are super small."
