Our stay at the Golden Gate Hotel made our San Francisco trip even more memorable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The hotel’s historic charm gave us a true San Francisco experience, and it was the perfect home base after our days of exploring the city.

The location was one of our favorite things about the hotel. We loved being in Nob Hill, a beautiful and quieter area away from some of the busier, more touristy parts of San Francisco, while still being close enough to easily enjoy everything the city has to offer. We were able to walk around the neighborhood, ride the famous cable cars, visit Alcatraz, explore Fisherman’s Wharf, and see so many of the iconic sights we came to experience.

After full days of adventure, it was nice to return to a peaceful and cozy hotel with so much character. The historic details and welcoming atmosphere made it feel like we were staying somewhere special, not just another hotel. The staff was kind and helpful, adding to the personal feel of our stay.

San Francisco was a trip we will always remember, and the Golden Gate Hotel was the perfect place to experience the city. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, unique, and well-located hotel with a true San Francisco feel.

Good location. Easy access off Van Ness with good parking. Clean, didn’t get overwhelmed by any fragrance (sometimes an issue in other hotels that pump in fragrance whether you want or can tolerate it or not). Loved they had both firm & soft pillows, labeled in embroidery on the pillowcase. Reasonably priced for the area. Definitely will stay again. No microwave in room but there’s a useable one in a common space. Mini fridge in room which was more important to us.

We only had a quick stay since our flight was delayed and we had plans early the next morning, so we were there for about four hours. Even with the short stay, the hotel was very nice and the staff was accommodating.

We added parking to our reservation for $27, then left our car there while we explored San Francisco. Paying the extra $20 for extended parking was absolutely worth it. The hop-on, hop-off bus tour stops right in front of the hotel, making it the perfect location for sightseeing. We’d definitely stay here again!

Super easy check-in with friendly staff.
Stayed in rm 2501, corner room with king bed. Beautiful view!
Bed was comfortable, air conditioning worked well, room was clean.
Very convenient parking. Glad to have breakfast on main floor. Grabbed a granola parfait, coffee, and breakfast burrito. Made it easy to head out early into the city.
Only negative was that the walls were a little thin, could hear a baby crying next door.

Room was cleaned and tidied every day. The staff was very kind. The breakfast was amazing. Worked for us because we were 2 adults and one 11 yr old child. Used the gym everyday. Had the essentials though could be a bit bigger as it was used by many in the mornings. Got a bit crowded. The parking fee was $49 / day which was an unexpected expense and seemed expensive. Wish that cost was included with the reservation.

The pool was ice cold. My mattress had a hole in it. While you slept you had to hang on so you didn’t fall off the bed. The hotel over charged me even with the booking thru Expedia. I caught the overcharge later and had to argue over pricing. I needed to email confirmation and then wait for manager approval.

The hotel is in an excellent location. Well staffed, service is top notch. Parking is very safe. The room has a beautiful view of the city. The furniture very worn, needs to be updated. Bathroom was clean. We did find some flossing sticks from previous guest just under the bed. All things considered we would stay again. We will look a bit closer, have housekeeping finish cleaning from previous guest. The furniture is something they will hopefully update in the near future, not a deal breaker.

While the staff was friendly and welcoming, my overall experience was disappointing. The room was outdated, and the carpet was noticeably dirty, which made it feel less clean than expected. The parking lot was in poor condition, not well maintained, and the parking spaces were extremely small. In some areas, the spaces were so tight that a passenger had to get out of the vehicle before it could be parked. The food was decent, but it wasn't enough to make up for the other issues. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not choose to stay at this hotel again.

Our stay here was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we loved how perfectly located the hotel was in downtown San Francisco. We were able to walk to so many great restaurants, and having the California Street cable car just a short walk away made exploring the city such a memorable experience.

We also really appreciated having the option to park our car at the hotel. Some days we drove to attractions outside the city center, and other days we simply left the car parked and enjoyed walking everywhere. It gave us the best of both worlds.

The room was spacious and comfortable, but the highlight was definitely the incredible view from the 17th floor. Looking out over the city each morning and seeing the lights at night made our stay feel extra special. We were also impressed by the six elevators—they were incredibly fast, so we never had to wait long to get to our room.

This hotel truly made our trip to San Francisco even more enjoyable. Between the amazing location, beautiful views, spacious rooms, and convenient parking, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. We highly recommend it to anyone planning a visit to San Francisco!

Location was great for getting around San Francisco by cable car / bus, and quieter than many places I've stayed near Union Square. Getting to BART/Caltrain was a bit harder, but we used Waymo to connect to those, to my kid's delight.

Larger than average rooms for the city. It's SF, so pretty cold outside for the outdoor pool, even in summer, but the 24 hour fitness room was excellent. Only two guest laundry washing machines for 20+ floors of guests, and one was broken during our stay, so plan accordingly.

For breakfast, my family liked \"pancake tacos\" at The Village restaurant nearby, and pastries at the Juniper bakery. Whole Foods is a block away, and a variety of restaurants. e.g., ~1 block to Little Chihuahua for tasty Mexican food with large portions. The hotel room does have a small fridge. Great staff.

Good overall, we'd stay again!

Decided to stay at this hotel based off of a TikTok video I seen in regards of the premium king room, top floor corner room for the immaculate view. I must say, it was beautiful. However, walking into my hotel room it was very small. Compared to the videos that I seen it looks much bigger however it was just for two for the night. Parking was included in my stay. The garage was secure. Elevators from garage take you straight to your floor into your hotel room. I love that part. We did not stay for breakfast. I’m not sure if it was free or a fee. There was a lot around us in walking distance so we did not have to drive. I would stay here again.
