The Fairmont San Francisco - San Francisco 37.79095, -122.40871

We had a balcony suite in the main building (the Singapore Suite) and it was beautiful. The word "balcony" is an understatement. It was more like a Parisian terrace! And the views were amazing!

Great hotel. Perfect location. Great service.

This hotel was very nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and provided great service. The area is a little out of the way...the only places for coffee or breakfast are the hotels. I would not however recommend eating in the Tonga Room at the hotel. I was served raw chicken...on top of that the waiter mistakenly thought I was a tourist and tried to tell me that raw chicken is normal!

The room itself was very large and luxurious but the bathroom was quite small for two women traveling together, also we were booked into an outside room and were put into an inside one

The staff at check-in did not give us the exterior room that we had specifically paid more $ for. We did not discover this until we arrived at our room. They did switch us but with no acknowledgement of their oversight, etc. In general, the staff here is mechanical, not thoughtful, and lack customer service training.

The Fairmont maybe historic but it simply feels old and tired.

Good because of its central location to al sightseeing activities - easy to go in any direction. Bad because of no local coffee shops/inexpensive restaurants and need to walk or cab to any shopping. All services (concierge, doormen, etc)were very good. We did not eat in the hotel. Classic old hotel but very well maintained.

The hotel is beautiful, the diningroom grand. There was a beautiful view from the garden terrace at night. The staff were all very curtious and friendly. Our room was very nice, thought the bathroom would be a little bigger? Sunday Brunch in the Laurel Court Restaurant was great. Tonga Room had dancing and great atmosphere at night. Caffe Cento for a quick breakfast on the Powell St. side of the building. Easy access to the cable car going north/south and east/west (California St). It's a classic!!

I stayed at the San Jose Fairmont and it was a great experience. People were friendly and outgoing. San Francisco Fairmont lacked that, The bell man was not very friendly and my room was missing its robes and the Mp3 was not working. the condition of the room wasn't what I expected after staying at the San Jose Fairmont. The San Jose Fairmont is much better. Also I ate dinner in their restaurant and the food was overpriced with a limited menu. My espresso was cold and the waiter could barely speak English. No one seemed to really care about the customers much.

Internet access is not complimentary...this seems ridiculous as you are able to stay at a Motel 6 nowadays with free Internet. When paying the large fee for access, it does not work in the room and you have to sit in the lobby with all of the background noise. In every other way this hotel is outstanding. Time to join the 21st Century.

This is an outstanding hotel, well located.

Nice Room......No coffee of refrigerator in the room......

This is an excellent value in SF. I don't know that there is any in its class for the money.

Found a great rate for the Fairmont online. At check in the receptionist immediately upgraded our room without us even asking. The view was spactacular. The staff was unquestionably helpful. I travel often, and this had to be the best value I've ever found!!!!

Enjoyed hotel very much. Was in town visiting friends on Nob Hill. Location was perfect. Only problem, if any, was I could hear doors of other rooms closing when the quests left before I was ready to get up.

Hotel was fantastic, room was in the tower and had a lovely view over the city, bathroom was very large with seperate shower, service in the hotel excellent, parking was quite expensive but this seems normal for San Francisco

The size of the room was amazing. The room service was incredible with the choices and the timeliness of the service. Overall I would stay time and time again. the convenience to the BART and immediate car service puts this hotel over the top.

$70 Parking Overnight. $30 Hamburger (not great either). $20 bottle of Vodka from minibar (mini bottle of vodka). Overall its a nice hotel. The room was small, and old (without any luxurious old-time charm). Hotel room price was in accordance with the room itself; however the amenities and services at the hotel were just way overpriced.

They need to put softner or replace towels more often.

Stayed in the older wing of the hotel and you can hear the doors close from the other rooms. Being a lite sleeper that was a bit of an issue.

Gorgeous lobby, great Nob Hill location right by the cable cars. Lots of fascinating history associated with this hotel. Room had quality linens and big flat-panel TV. Concierge team was very helpful.

Everyone was nice. We only spent one night and had no luggage. It was hard to find our room and we had other guest tell us they could not find their rooms.

We selected the Fairmont because of the beautiful historic building and we were not disappointed. The location is safe and comfortable but not many restaurants or other points of interest. Unfortunately, the staff, the acoustics of the room and general service was not even a close second to the beauty of the architecture. Great room rate but because of all of the hard surfaces we heard every door slam as well as our neighbors conversations.

A true classic hotel in the center of San Francisco.

We booked the Kashmir Suite (Balcony Suite) in the main building. When we arrived at the hotel at 5:30 p.m. our room wasn't ready. The front desk staff was apologetic and took good care of us by seating us in the lobby bar and providing drinks on the house until our room was completed. The old landmark hotel is very well maintained. Lobby is grand, the hallways have new carpeting. I was a little disappointed when we stepped into our suite. I was expecting a better appointed and larger room for the price we paid per night. The listed square footage includes the balcony. The living room area was a little worn looking, and the small couch doesn't open into a bed. The separate bedroom was more of what I expected in an elegant grand hotel; the bed beautifully canopied. The bathroom is small and lackluster. The toiletries provided were one of the nicest I've seen in a 4-5 star hotel. The best part of the room was a large wrought iron balcony. Through the most part of our stay it was cold, we had to wrap up to go outside on the balcony. The view was amazing with the Transamerica building, downtown, and the bay beyond. The nighttime views were even more breath-taking. The balcony made up for what the room was lacking. Room service is extremely expensive--what you expect at this level of hotel. However, the room service staff wheeled the cart onto the balcony for a sunny last day breakfast. The staff is fantastic at this hotel; from the front desk, in the know concierge (got us sold-out theater tickets for a steal)and the best dining times, bell men, valet, etc. The hotel's location was very good. We didn't find walking too difficult being on the hill; as some of the reviews state, and if you tire, you can always hop a cable car. The two cable car lines intersect at the hotel. All in all the hotel grew on us working its grand elegant charm. A truly romantic stay in San Francisco.

Well worth the money. Keep in mind that parking is $57/day, not included in the room rate. Oh, and check your final bill: the only really annoying thing that happened is the trigger-happy cleaning staff who reported that we were drinking our $9 bottles of Evian water when in fact we only moved them from in front of the TV to the desk. Dag, yo; who's dumb enough to fall for that one? It puts a black mark on what would otherwise have been a pristine experience.

GREAT LOCATION AND A VERY CLASSY HOTEL

This is an elegant hotel loaded with history. Service was very good. Location near two cable car lines and walking distance to several nice restaurants was excellent.

I felt like royalty from when I checked in to when I sadly had to leave. The view was spectacular; the bed was perfect; the room was large and well appointed. The lobby is spectacular! The whole experience could not have been better.

The lobby really is as impressive as the photo. The room was... compact, but with high ceilings it felt quite spacious. The bed was probably the softest I've ever slept on. As my visit was short and I spent little time in the room, the main factor for me was the level of service, which was excellent. A speedy check-in, help with finding tourist attractions and a place to eat and drink, luggage check and the ordering of a shuttle to the airport - all done in a very friendly manner.

Unbelievable view from the tower deluxe room overlooking the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, and even the Bay Bridge (if you smash your face up against the glass...). Everything was awesome except for when a guest? employee? opened the door to our room at around 9pm while I was standing in the hallway nekkid. The unexpected visitor was more surprised than I was, I'm sure, and immediately shut the door. It was a bit strange, but not cause for much alarm. The view, the comfortable bed, the nice bathroom... made it an extremely positive experience nonetheless. Everybody should stay here at least once in their lifetime.

Great hotel, when we got there they upgraded us to the tower rooms...they were very polite and helpful..we got a great deal with hotels.com and we were very satisfied with our choice...the only thing that I can say was not perfect was that they had no pool on site, otherwise all was great!!

We truly enjoyed our stay there. We had an upgraded room with a view, which allowed us to see the fog settling and rising over the city and Alcatraz. The only drawbacks were we couldn't find a little restaurant in the area that served breakfast, and there weren't enough options on their breakfast menu for a small breakfast. The price for breakfast and amount of food was exorbitant. We also found that the signage for how to find the Tonga Restaurant and even their cafe were poor. We had to go out on the street to find them.

Great hotel, centrally located and quite easy to get around town using the cable cars that go right by. My only complaint was the $57/night parking.

The hotel itself is beautiful and located amongst some fabulous buildings in a quite posh area. The staff is considerate and efficient and the room we were in was extremely comfortable. The only improvement that we would like to see is an upgrade on some of the workout machines (specifically the treadmills) and the hours of the facility on the weekends...7-7 does not work for us to workout...more like 5:30 - 10 is better. But as this is my only area of complaint for this hotel, it is minor compared to its greatness...

I booked a room in the original building with a view of the city & when I got to my room, the air conditioner wasn't working. The front desk said they'd send up maintenance right away. About 1/2 hour later, they called & said they determined that room had a thermastat that can't be fixed, they are waiting on a part, so I could stay in it or they would be happy to upgrade me to a tower room & air conditioning working! They sent the bellman up pronto to move my luggage. Same city view from the upgraded room in the tower. Very positive experience & the price was a steal for a property on Nob Hill that we used to pay $300+ for a night!

Amazing place, great staff, central location. The room was nice sized, and the bed super comfortable. We got a great price through Hotels.com and it was worth every penny.
