San Francisco hotels near Washington Square

Pros: We came from the Embarcadero BART/Muni Station on Market Street which was a very comfortable walk. Arrived about an hour before check-in time and received a room right away. Front desk was backed with a line for awhile. Had a high floor on first stay and liked it much better than the lower floor this time. Room and features are good. Large screen TV nice! Restaurant on the third floor is very good. Arthur is a great waiter; ask him where is from.

Cons: BATH ROOM DOOR IS A JOKE!. It is very heavy and slides open like an old barn door. It is impossible to use the facilities in the middle of the night without making noise that awakens spouse. Bed was firm but comfortable. Would prefer a top sheet instead of just the covered comforter. Towels were nothing to shout about.

Pros: Very friendly staff, fast check-in, excellent, safe and central location, beautiful design, stylish spacious rooms, beautiful views. Close to bart, cable car, malls and landmarks. And free illy coffee to top it off.

Pros: LOCATION, very nice room, near from the port 1, access to the buses stop, near form China Town

Pros: The beds were extremely comfortable and the location was nice.

Cons: On November 20th, my girlfriend and I decided to take a weekend trip to San Francisco and stayed at Le Meridien. Upon arrival, the parking situation threw us for a loop as we drove into their structure that apparently is no longer in service. Frustrating, but we eventually figured it out. The hotel itself was nice and the first night sleep was great! Nice views of the all buildings, super comfy bed and overall very spacious. The second night however...very different story. We came back to our room(2103) around midnight from a great night out. We could hear the people next to us in the Sydney Cove Suite(2104) who had a few guests over. They were a little noisy but it didn't bother us at the time. Around 230AM, I was woken up to "extra curricular activities"....(Wink wink cough cough). Okay...just a couple enjoying their night together like any other couple would...we all do it, no big deal. But this wasn't normal (we very quickly realized there were more than 2 people still in that room...) and it happened again and again and again...and again.Precisely that many times until 530AM!! Not only were they blasting their music still, but the walls were so thin, we could hear EVERYTHING. Very disturbing and very disgusting. After the first hour and a half trying to block out the sounds (which was impossible) we called the front desk who initially was less than helpful. The first call we asked to have someone come up to ask them to please be quiet. No one ever came. We called back again about 20 minutes later and asked if anyone was coming. The man at the front desk said they had sent security who heard nothing from any room, which we did not believe. Our neighbors hadn't stopped since the first call downstairs and was still happening WHILE we were on the phone during the 2nd call! At that point we were very direct about what was going on/what we were hearing in that room and they immediately called the guests. Finally around 530--sweet silence. We notified the woman at the front desk when checking out who was very apologetic about the situation. It really is a shame that we had such a disturbing second night. The hotel really is nice and very comfortable hence the 3 "stars", but the walls make it seem like you are in the same room with your neighbors. I'm not sure that we would come back after the night we had.

Pros: Location

Cons: The bed and pillows. Not comfortable at all. Parking was too expensive. Although they did offer a garage to park for $30/day which I should have done.

Pros: Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was immaculate and well-appointed. Beds were comfortable. Location was awesome with plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, parking garages within close walking distance, and walking distance to Bay Area.

Cons: No coffee and payment required for WiFi access in the room.

Cons: It was disappointing not to be provided free internet.

Pros: Upgraded to a suite for free. All staff very friendly and helpful

Pros: Great location and good price for a surprise view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Cons: Parking was very expensive. $70 per night.

Pros: The rooms were much roomier than most SF hotels we've stayed at. We purposely picked FiDi instead of Union Square because we wanted the extra space. We got the executive suites with king beds because they were not much more expensive than the regular rooms. The rooms was spacious by SF standards, nicely decorated, modern, and the king sized beds were superbly comfortable. Didn't use any of the other facilities or amenities offered like the gym etc as we were just staying overnight.

Cons: The food options were not much to be desired. We ordered room service for late lunch and it was just ok. I guess we could've gone anywhere to eat but we're feeling tired. Went across the street to pick up dinner which was also alright. Parking was pricey so we parked our car at stockton Sutter garage after dropping the bags off, and Uber's back to the hotel. Stockton Sutter is a bit far but a whole lot cheaper.

Pros: All of the hotel itself.

Cons: The parking situation. Very very expensive $$$

Pros: Location Downtown

Cons: Hotel parking Incredible expensive

Pros: We love our staying in SF also thanks to Le Meridien staff

Pros: Service is excellent and friendly

Pros: The view of the Bay bridge.

Pros: Staff was good, hotel was accessible because of it's corner location.

Cons: On Sundays the immediate area is an absolute ghost town.

Pros: The fitness facility was terrific, plenty of equipment to use, towels and fruit provided every day. The location was great for the conference and for sightseeing the city.

Cons: The only complaint I can think of is the price per night was very high because of the Oracle conference. We were pretty much out of luck and had to pay the asking price. I wasn't able to use my corporate credit card because my wife had supplied a personal credit card at the time we booked the reservation and the hotel charged her card and would not refund her charge and let me use my card.

Pros: concierge,Laura, was very helpful. So with the doorman, George

Pros: courteous staff. The concierge were ver helpful

Pros: very pleasant room. bay view

Pros: Hospitable and very helpful staff, exceptional service, elegant decor and nice amenities. Close to Union Square in the heart of San Francisco. We have always favored Le Merridien in our travels. I booked a reservation for relatives visiting SF. The person-in-charge was very pleasant. He arranged for a beautiful room with an exceptional city view. They very much enjoyed their stay and loved the hospitality. I would highly recommend Le Merridien SF.

Pros: Decor, location

Cons: Small room size

Pros: Probably my favorite hotel in the city! Staff is professional, friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable.

Cons: Me staying longer. Can't wait to return

Pros: Check in and extras

Pros: Everyone was amazing! Jonathan the bartender, patrick the bellman, everyone! They made my boyfriends birthday very special. This is the best hotel in SF. Thank you to the entire staff.

Cons: Nothing because everything was awesome!

Pros: The rooms were lovely and dinner was fabulous.

Cons: Breakfast was mediocre and the staff (mainly the concierge) was nit very helpful. Also parking is $75. That’s crazy.

Pros: The staff was exceptional. ALL of them.

Cons: Not much. The spa was priced really high so we ended up making other accommodations.

Cons: They need to add a salon that has someone there to do hair blow outs for customers staying at the Ritz.

Pros: Customer service was outstanding.

Cons: In a large double room, the sitting area had one very uncomfortable cheap chair. Fortunately, my wife did not mind sitting on the floor

Pros: The price and what you get for it.

Cons: The rooms were too cramped

Pros: The San Remo is a charming little place that offers all a single traveler needs. (Though two people could stay in a room, depending on how well they like one another). They offered more amenities than I expected, including mouthwash, earplugs, and bath salts (did not use those, though).

Cons: It was a little strange to have a window in my room that looked out on the hallway, though it was useful since the room got a bit stuffy with it closed. The mornings were a little loud with everyone waking up and using the bathrooms and showers, even with that window closed (hence the earplugs, I suppose).

Pros: A little bit of Europe in San Francisco. Very historic and nostalgic. It's not for everyone but it's perfect for people who like to meet strangers on their travels.

Cons: The lack of air conditioning...but that's what you expect for such an old building.

Cons: We could barely fit in our room because it was so small. We were the first room across from the bathroom and could hear every time someone went pee. Like literally hear them pee. The lightbulb flickered and a curtain blind fell off. The bed was uncomfortable and room was so tiny.

Pros: Was a little worried about the bathrooms being down the hall. However, this was no problem at all. Had to wait a time or two for a shower, but was extremely pleased with how clean the shared areas were maintained.

Cons: Of course, would have preferred our own bathroom.

Pros: Good location near Fisherman's Warf. Low price. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. 100 year old hotel. Per other reviews I requested a room with a sink. This allowed me to brush my teeth, shave, and have drinking water without leaving the room. Others had to do so in the hallway shared sink. Imagine what a low rent hotel was like 100 years ago, and you will be fine.

Cons: Thin walls, older mattress and bedding and furnishings. Small, but to be expected. Shared bathrooms and showers were not ideal, but not a big deal for a quick one night stay.

Pros: Walking distance from every thing

Cons: not much

Pros: Clean and very quaint. Friendly staff. The location was great, near the wharf and cruise terminal. Had coffee and tea available near the front desk. Was excellent for the price we paid!

Cons: The rooms were very small. Had to put the chair on top of the wardrobe so we could both put our suitcases on the floor.

Pros: Easy location, checkin, shared bath done quite nice, quiet and clean as a whistle

Pros: The vintage and historic feel of the hotel. there's an almost communal hostel-like atmosphere to the hotel due to the nature of amenities such as shared bathrooms and washroom. Interior is incredibly beautiful.

Cons: Parking was a pain but that's an issue you'll encounter with many places in SF. gotta be careful with noise levels since you can hear things and sound can easily penetrate through walls and windows.

Pros: I liked the atmosphere, and the fact that for a shared-bathroom facility there were multiple baths and toilets available. I also LOVED the location and the general 'feel' of the place.

Cons: the room was just so incredibly TINY! barely had room to move around the bed, which would not have been so bad if there were at least some sort of desk or table to sit at, or a lounge area in the hotel that had a table and chairs (there were several couch-type areas but nothing that could double as a desk). I was travelling for work, and could not really do much at all at the hotel. also this was listed as a double room... I cannot imagine sharing this room with someone else.

Pros: The hotel offers good value and a good location as well as character. Guests get a discount on the nice restaurant attached to the hotel. Hotel staff were friendly and welcoming.

Cons: Rooms fairly small but comfortable

Pros: the location is amazing, the place is tidy and perfectly clean, we basically loved it!

Cons: nothing really

Pros: The decor and atmosphere was fantastic, i'd definately stop again and encourage others to try a few nights there for its charm and value

Cons: Not really a dislike but the rooms were small, i really wanted to checkout the pent house.. maybe next time!

Pros: This place is bursting at the seams with character. I really enjoyed the vibe, though I'm not quite sure how to characterize it.

Cons: I was in a room directly above the restaurant, and it was loud. Pack earplugs. The mattress wasn't super-comfortable, but it was fine.

Pros: The San Remo is extremely charming and close to Fisherman's Wharf, Little Italy and Chinatown. It's also within walking distance to various tour companies. Although the bathrooms are shared, they were very clean and readily available. I will definately stay there again.

Pros: Location is perfect.

Cons: Small rooms.

Pros: We liked everything about the hotel.

Cons: The only thing that would have added to our experience would have been a large common area or terrace to hang out in.

Pros: Location is excellent, next to Colombus Avenue, Embarcadero, restaurants. Quiet and clean neighborhood. Hotel is really charming, well restored, which is great if you want to enjoy a 19th century feel.

Cons: Restaurant downstairs (excellent by the way) is very noisy for the hotel guests. Lack of privacy if you room has no washbasin.

Pros: location, cleanliness, staff very helpful

Cons: Room 40 could use light control from the hall, very stuffy, better fan ; it was noisy

Pros: the staff, the location, vintage feel

Cons: tiny rooms, soft mattress

Pros: Really great location. Walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf, pier 39 & 33 (for Alcatraz tours). Concierge was helpful to arrange shuttle to airport and map of.local area and nearby attractions.

Cons: Paying for parking amd not the most helpful for helping with luggage. Check-in attendant was not the most friendly. View from room was odd - it was looking right at another room. Not quite a courtyard just a small square that looks at other rooms.

Pros: The location is within walking distance of our destination, the hotel is very clean and staff friendly.

Cons: The room did not have a refrigerator or microwave, our previous stay there the room had both.

Pros: Very close to the wharf, restaurants, cable cars and cruise terminals.

Pros: The rooms were clean, the cleaning staff was friendly and always greated when we would pass. The breakfast was very good and had a lot of options, we always are early and it seemed to get really busy the later you ate but they never ran out of food. I felt like it was a great value! The hotel is located in fishermans wharf and is walking distance to the pier and tour buses, bike rentals, shops, and dining options.

Cons: We did not have hot water the first morning however it was fixed when we got back to the hotel later in the afternoon. The concierge staff could have been better- they suggested an Italian place for dinner that had terrible reviews- - im glad I checked ahead. We also asked about bars and nightlife and she sent us to broadway street which is full of strip clubs- didn't see many bars- after the fact we figured out that we should have been closer to the beach on the same street. They lacked knowledge of the areas, I know it's a big city but they should be familiar with areas to send tourists.

Pros: Friendly

Pros: Convenience of location, it is within walking distance to most all tourists attractions.

Cons: The parking fee is outrageous ($45) and you must use valet to park your vehicle. Customer service was professional; yet, it wasn't above and beyond what should happen.

Pros: Cleanliness/comfortable /location

Cons: Parking fees

Pros: Location and friendly staff. Room was clean and quiet

Cons: 3 years ago the parking wasn't as expensive as this trip 51 plus 8 tax each night is outrageous

Pros: Perfect location walking distance to main attractions.

Cons: No guest laundry facilities had to walk to another Holiday in to use the laundry. Breakfast times could have been extended to at least 10am.

Pros: Very well situated to everything - transport, shops,

Pros: The Location was really good

Cons: The breakfast was poor and the room was a bit dingy with a small bathroom. They had a coffe maker in the bathroom - yuck!

Pros: Great location, excellent breakfast, comfortable rooms and courteous staff

Cons: There is no fridge on the room

Pros: House keeping is good and something unexpected good.......

Cons: Breakfast is not good enough e.g. lack of variety of fruits

Pros: Great location and friendly staff

Cons: N/A

Pros: I liked that we were in walking distance of the wharf and North Shore. A few blocks from the congestion of fisherman's wharf gave us some peace and quiet. We were able to sleep with the window's open without the noise from the streets or groups of people invading our space.

Pros: Super clean New and very spacious rooms

Cons: Air scent in lobby TOO strong which appears to be overdone these days in many hotel lobbies

Pros: The staff was awesome! So attentive and willing to help make our stay better. The concierge called to make sure all of our tour and restaurant plans were taken care of properly. Great job!

Pros: Location

Cons: Booked and paid extra for king bed, when we checked in there were none available, so still had to pay extra for 2 queens.

Pros: The room cleanliness and decor.

Cons: Customer service-I had requested a 1 bed and they initially gave me a double. So we had to go change rooms. Then at 6am there's was a fire drill so everyone had to evacuate but the issue is that the staff never offered an apology.

Pros: I loves the fresh but edgy rooms.

Cons: Do the valet parking.

Cons: Got to the check in desk and found out there was a hidden fee of $30 for internet and other incidentals. Bait and Switch

Pros: The service, location and amenities were incredible. Very comfy beds! Everything was perfect, except the shower would clogg a bit. Would definetly recommend

Pros: Room was very clean and comfortable. Very affordable

Cons: Have travel essentials for sale or free. Ex: toothpaste, contact lense solution, toothbrush etc.

Pros: Clean, renovated, stylish, friendly, with a perfect location. Not a the over priced dirty old hotel usually available for the price in the warf. I did not pick the hotel or we wouldn't have stayed in this area. I was WRONG. They've saved an old hotel from being an awful tourist trap. I was anticipating mushrooms growing on the carpets and paint from the 70's. But it was as clean as a Hampton in or Holiday in express I would usually use during the week for work. Location is at the end of the war so getting in and out of there was easy. It's also at the end of Columbus state getting into little Italy and over to China town were also simple. Again, I did not expect this clean of a room for that close to $200 in this area. Would stay here again if asked to.

Cons: Charged for waters. Hotel elevator room card reader. In room AC could have worked better, but it was well enough that we didn't bother to complain. Not enough outlets. Though there are charging stations in the room, only 1 next to the bed and the other shut off when the TV was off. Stairwell doors all need new door closers. Bed looked lumpy but slept fine.

Pros: Wifi quality is to bad for the value hotel

Cons: WIFI, gym facilities

Pros: The staff was amazing, great location

Pros: I am always impressed by the cusotmer service at the Hilton.

Pros: close to all attractions, within walking distance of restaurants. good info from hotel staff, including restaurants

Pros: Close to all things to do in the Bay area

Pros: Good location, nice place to stay

Cons: Noisy, too soft mattresses, toilet paper like sandpaper

Pros: Plenty of space in the room.

Cons: Slight noise from movements in adjacent rooms

Pros: Convientlly located, super-comfortable,extremely well-run hotel by competetent, friendly staff.

Pros: location and quality of services

Pros: I liked how it was just set back from fishermans wharf so we were the right distance away.

Cons: It's not a very soundproof hotel, you can hear whenever people walk past your room inside the hotel.

Pros: Staff were good and helpful without being in your face all the time.

Cons: Breakfast wasn't as good as I'd had in other Hiltons of similar cost
