I have stayed at the Kensington Park Hotel many times, and have always been pleased with the accommodations and the staff.The hotel is right on Union Square, within walking distance to shopping, Chinatown, North Beach and more. This time, I arrived approximately two hours before check-in time, and was so happy that I was able to check into my room early. It was very clean and well-appointed. The front desk staff and valet were very helpful. I enjoyed having the fancy water dispenser - with many kinds of water for water bottles - in the lobby. I will definitely stay here again!

Location is fantastic. The room was clean but dated. The sinks are far from standard, about 1-2 feet shorter than they should be. Very odd to have a sing reach maybe mid thigh (I’m 6’). Room was quite warm despite it being cool outside because the heater puts a great deal of heat into the closet which poured through the door. Window opened only 6” but cooled it enough for this time of year. Breakfast is coffee and tea (in 10oz cups) and individually packaged madeleine cookies. There is an Elks lodge and a theater in the building.

The main reason to stay here is for the location. It is just in a great spot right off of Union Square.

It is a pretty old hotel, but it definitely makes up for it with the inexpensive rooms.

The water temperature fluctuates a little bit, but you can get used to it.

If your window is facing the side of another building, it can actually get noisy with the howling wind.

The hotel has an awesome water-filling station for your reusable water bottles in the lobby for hotel guests. You can get flavored waters or even waters with electrolytes, vitamins, etc.

Other than that, the room is cleaned pretty well.

Also, Manfred, at the front desk in the mornings, is very nice.

We really enjoyed our stay at this charming historic hotel in San Francisco. The location is perfect—just steps away from Union Square—yet the room was quiet and peaceful. We stayed on the 11th floor and had a great experience. The lobby seating area was cozy and welcoming, and the front desk staff were very professional and attentive. We especially appreciated the complimentary coffee service from 7:00 to 10:30—it was excellent! The building itself is one hundred years old and beautifully maintained, full of character and charm. We would definitely stay here again.

I absolutely adored this hotel! From the gorgeous lobby to the nostalgic elevators and the friendly staff, I would absolutely book it again if I ever visited San Francisco in the future. Our room was a little small so we couldn't get pass each other between the bed and the desk which was a little annoying, and there wasn't anywhere to put your toiletries - but the overall experience more than made up for the minor inconvenience. Thank you for the complimentary morning coffee and Sherry! We had a wonderful time.

Run away - this hotel is a nightmare

The rooms are run down/outdated and our bath tub had hair in it when we arrived.

The key cards kept demagnetizing multiple times every day even though they were alone in my pocket so we were always locked out. There are no public lobby restrooms, so one time the attendant was helping me get rekeyed and then stopped to answer the phone and left me there for over 10 minutes. I had to leave to use the restroom in the restaurant next door.

The 2 elevators are wildly slow, and service people also ride in them with giant towel bins and mops, so you wait.

On our last day, I had to extend our stay due to plan changes. Checkout was at 11, our keys shut off at 10. When we asked to rekey AGAIN, the attendant insisted on checking us out, then checking us back in, and us paying immediately. He said, \"You pay now or no key.\" My husband had to use the restroom so I asked if I could pay after he got the key first, and he said no. This is INSANE. So you wait for the elevator for 5-10 minutes, you get to your room, key doesn't work, wait for the elevator for another 5-10 minutes, then go wait in line to rekey....unbelievable. At this point you are better off going anywhere else. We used the bathroom in the room only a few times because we were always locked out.

Also, I didn't appreciate the insinuation that we were somehow going to skip out on paying - you have my credit card on file!!!

Overall, the service was poor and lacked any human kindness or professionalism.

We had an excellent stay. It’s an older, charming hotel, a block from Union Square and 4 blocks from Powell Street BART station. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. There’s free coffee in the lobby in the morning, a free glass of sherry in the evening, and a machine that dispenses free cold water (sparkling or still, flavored or plain) to fill your water bottle.

A grand old hotel with its own theater

The Kensington Park Hotel is a well-kept-up older hotel. It has a theater for live performances, especially plays, on its second floor by one of the area's most-awarded groups of actors. I went to a performance, and the acting quality was excellent. The hotel has not installed air conditioning in its rooms, but the ceiling fan kept my room comfortable, if a bit breezy. The hotel is across the street from an early morning bus pick-up for tours to Yosemite Park which is why I stayed there. The nearby luxury hotels were all booked-up and expensive. This hotel is quite near downtown San Francisco's main square so there is good shopping and nearby restaurants. The area seemed safe and nice when I was there.

Incredibly poor and insensitive customer service.

This trip was booked for an employee who ended up having a heart condition leading to a procedure which required him to miss the trip. We reached out to the hotel 5 days prior to the reservation through hotels.com and the hotel directly regarding a partial or full refund. The hotel management we spoke to were rude, dismissive, and kept repeating the same incorrect information. They would tell us to contact someone else who would return our calls. We have stayed here for years, and that did not matter to them. We will not be using their hotel again.

I checked in a bit early because I had an early evening wedding to get ready for. When I checked in they said it would be a \"small fee\" for early check-in even though my room was already ready. I didn't really have a choice so I agreed (but I did not ask for the cost). I took a shower in the afternoon and the water was cold but I had to shower to get ready. I was running late so didn't say anything. I tried to take a shower the next morning and it was too cold to even get in. I reported that to the front desk when I checked out. That did not seem at all surprising to the front desk person. I asked if there was anything they could do to compensate for the lack of hot water and was told the manager does not make approve adjustments for those types of complaints. They did not even waive the early check-in fee which ended up being $50! I don't consider that a small fee. Overall, quite disappointed that there was no attempt to compensate me for what should have been a non-negotiable in a hotel room.

I thought it was highly overpriced for what was supplied, not even a bottle of water in the room. The position was good and it was clean but that is about all that was positive. I would not stay there again at that price.

We saw a play inside the hotel at the SF Playhouse and it was fun to stay over night in the same venue as the play. The lobby is vintage SF and pleasant. There was only one working elevator and it was old and slow, so there were lines that took awhile to get up and own from our floor. Our room was clean but very small. There was nobody else on our floor, so it was quiet. But we wondered why we were given such a small room considering no other guests were up there. It was in a separate little nook, and seemed like half a room. Even the sink in our bathroom was oddly short (it would be good for someone less than 5ft tall). When we went down to the lobby for complementary coffee/tea and madeleines, almost nothing remained at 0915am. I did get a trickle of coffee, but no more hot water for tea and no madeleines remained. Empty containers. Overall a \"meh\" experience. We will not stay there again, but we will keep seeing plays there.

Great stay

Hotel was good, staff weren’t very knowledgeable of local area and would have been good to get ideas of local places to eat or pick up groceries.

room was small but clean.

This hotel has the feeling of a throwback in time, something like a murder mystery setting mixed with old-time charm.

An ideal location .. close to Union Square, Chinatown, Embarcadero, restaurants, block from Powell cable car. The room was comfortable and staff responsive to queries. This is an older hotel and some areas are showing their age. We considered it part of the charm. Immediate area was relatively safe but, as in any big city, stay vigilant and know the areas to stay clear of. We would stay again!

I am pretty sure the very nice young lady working the swing shift was Amy. Amy was very pleasant & professional. Amy was efficient and very helpful in tracking something down for me.
The young man check out was not friendly I asked a few questions and he just looked at me and never said a word. Maybe he is not a morning person. Didn’t catch his name. I do enjoy the room size and super comfy bed I fall and stay asleep like the summer of third grade.

Relaxing music in the lobby to enjoy a hot drink before heading out in the morning was a nice touch. The old-time decor was charming. I've never spent any time in hotel lobbies, but this was a comfortable place to gather with our group in the mornings. The concierge was very polite, friendly and responsive.

I enjoyed my brief stay at the Kensington Park Hotel. The location close to Union Square is very nice and convenient. The hotel is in a historic building that I found charming.
