Being two blocks from the BART stop makes this hotel very convenient for getting anywhere in the city. Plenty of restaurant and shopping options in easy walking distance and a good neighborhood to boot.

I have stayed in a few of the downtown San Francisco hotels. This is one of the better ones. Staff is great.

Great staff, location, and guest service but our room was right beside the stairs and facing the street. We ended up getting little to no sleep due to all the noise. I do recommend this hotel, but the next time I will ask to be as far away from both as possible.

Nicely revamped main areas. Baths dated but ok. Great location near union square and Chinatown. Very helpful staff.

Had a very pleasant stay. Liked the daily wine sampling hour. Did not like the charges for using the computer in the business center (almost $5.00 for the first 20 minutes, extra for printing out material, very petty for such a grand hotel). Overall a nice location (close to the BART station, cable car, trolley and of course shopping). Staff very nice […] and helpful. Read more

I would certainly recommend this hotel over any bigger hotels. The service was really nice and the place was clean and quiet and really easy to find. It was centrally located and only a block from the BART.

Loved it!

My husband and I spent a night in SF for my birthday. We wanted a romantic hotel that was close to public transportation. This place is the spot. The hotel is beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I love that they have tea time in the morning and wine tasting in the evening. We will come back.

Beautiful old hotel, well restored and upgraded. Lots of posh shopping in the neighborhood but little night life. Well situated for getting around town (which you have to do - so many great neighborhoods in SF!). Free coffee in the morning and wine in the evening and a walking track/veranda on the third floor - but head out to the streets if you want […] to walk. Head toward the Ferry Building and around the Embarcadero towards Fisherman's Wharf if you don't want hills or go straight north to Coit Tower for starters. We really liked our stay here. Read more

The room was a bit small, but otherwise everything was excellent. The place is clean and well maintained. The hotel is in a good location and the people at the front desk are most helpful and very knowledgeable when asked for advice and assistance.

I loved it valet parking was expensive so take Bart or find somewhere else to park. Besides that it was great I'm planning on coming back

This was by far the nicest SF hotel we've done. reasonable parking, very nice staff, very clean facility

nice hotel. could use a bit more cleanliness and thought to tit furniture placement in small rooms.

The hotel is within close walking distance of a BART station, reasonable walking distance from very nice restaurants and shopping, etc. The lobby area is beautiful, and the rooms are well-decorated. Our room was much smaller than I generally expect, as was the bathroom, but everything was clean. There was some early morning noise, including a homeless […] person shouting, and garbage trucks, but overall, the hotel was stll a very nice choice. Read more

This was our first time in SF and I was taking a gamble on this hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by a beautiful and comfortable lobby, the most friendly and helpful staff I have ever encountered, a free room upgrade, a cocktail hour, free coffee and tea in the AM, valet parking at a reasonable rate and the best location possible for walking, shopping […] and eating! I will definetely be staying here again! Read more

The Galleria Park Hotel is in an awesome location -- very central, a bus stop on the corner, a BART station about a block away, and a Walgreens nearby for last minute needs. Plus, a Jamba Juice next door and a nice coffee shop (Bread & Cocoa) downstairs for quick, yummy breakfast. Quick bus rides to Chinatown, North Beach, Fisherman's Wharf, etc., BART […] ride to Mission District. Plus if you want to explore the city on foot more, you could walk to plenty of places within a mile. My only complaints would be: you're facing a major street, so there's a good amount of street noise. If you're a light sleeper, this might be too much for you. The front desk staff is fine, but not super friendly. And the room was a little small, mostly because of the big furniture crammed in a tight space. But overall, the hotel is clean, modern, well-kept. You'll be comfortable here, as long as you can deal with the outside noise. On the 5th floor, it wasn't too bad, but I'd imagine if you're on a lower floor, it could be pretty loud. Read more

This hotel is in an older building but very nicely refurbished. The rooms are very quiet despite the noisy neighborhood. The outdoor walking track and park is a nice addition, as is the small exercise room. The hotel is in easy walking distance to the Montgomery St. BART station, making it very convenient from the airport.

We got a eally good deal thru Hotel.com., staff we very helpful,and all the shopping store were at walking distance

The hotel is very good, with an outstanding location. The staff is really kind and helpful. The room was clean and was spacious. The only pitfall is the heating in the room. It's and old system, with the radiator. During the night you have to choose between be warm or hear the noise of the steam being purged. Anyway, the bottom line is positive.

So this is a boutique hotel which i guess in sf translates to old and small. I learned something from this trip though about selecting a hotel. If there are very few online pics - there is probably a reason for it! All the other reviews spoke about the really great staff. I didnt think any of the staff was friendly, especially the valet (who made […] a huge deal about me leaving my rental in front for 10mins to run upstairs and change clothes). The room i booked was supposed to be a queen bed. I actually spoke to two front desk people that assured me it was. It definitely was NOT! They then told me it was a standard queen and there is such a thing as a california queen which is what they said i was probably use to. LOL .... ok! The room was very cramped, bathroom had wasted space, heater very noisy with the hot water popping out of a spout, VERY lousy housekeeping (didnt pick up some wrappers on floor or refill the sugar/creamer packets). I stayed 11 consecutive days and can NOT recommend this hotel. Read more

This is a very nice, well-located hotel with air conditioning. The staff was very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed a delicious chardonnay at the complimentary wine time in the pretty lobby area. My only complaint is the bathroom where there is a pedestal sink - women need counter space for cosmetics and everyone needs space for toothbrush, toothpaste, […] water glass, whatever. I do not understand this pedestal sink trend in hotels - makes no sense for those living from a suitcase! Overall, tho, very very good stay. Read more

From the moment you walk into the lobby of the Galleria Park Hotel you are taken back into time with the eleagance of a past era. There is a 1920's feel, with all the modern ameneties and great hotel staff that takes pride in meeting their guests needs; always with a smile. My partner and I stayed for a week and have nothing but good to say. Highly […] recommend. Additionally, the Galleria Park is located right in the middle of it all, within walking distance of many attractions as well as public transportation to get to attractions farther away. It's a no brainer, on our next trip to SF, we will be staying at the Galleria Park. Read more

Our recent stay in the Galleria Park Hotel was quite enjoyable! The hotel is charming. The service is excellent. The location is convenient. We had easy, walking access to Union Square and Chinatown and quick taxi rides to the piers and Golden Gate Bridge. We would readily choose this hotel again and would recommend it to others.

service good. Room a little small. Not enough towel racks and not good lighting in bath. Wine happy hour great.

GPH is perfectly located a couple blocks off Union Square - not smack in the middle of crazy traffic, but so close you're there before you know it. It is a short walk from BART & Market St. and near Ferry Building and Embarcadero. It feels safe to walk around area at night and there are usually helpful doormen there to hail a cab or greet and welcome […] you back. The cafe on the corner, Bread & Cocoa, is a nice place to grab breakfast, coffee, a snack... whatever you need. Couldn't really ask for more in SF. We booked a King Deluxe room to ensure we had plenty of space. The first room they checked us into was an interior and felt claustrophobic so I rang the front desk and asked about other options - they offered an exterior room without any fuss and sent up a key right away. Very professional and courteous all around. The only thing that held this back from 5 stars for us was that housekeeping missed coming in on Saturday even though we were gone most of the day. No big deal, but just a smidge under that pure premium feel. Recommend! Read more

The hotel was clean and well located. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very small and the bathroom was so tiny, there was no shelf space for electric razor, electric toothebrush et al. The king size bed was very comfortable and clean with plenty of pillows. The hotel is old but clean.

Every employee I interacted with was warm, friendly, and helpful. While the hotel is in a great spot, has a beautiful lobby and comfortble rooms- the employees REALLY stand out. The gym is very small and not user-friendly, but the 24 Hour fitness right around the corner is easy and convenient.

Had a very nice early winter break in San Franciso. As a fan of the joie de vivre hotel chain, was thrilled to see a reasonably priced option on hotels.com. The hotel was even better than the description, centrally located, charming and of course that signature joie de vivre customer service. I am a convert, will stay again - and soon! Great to have […] these options in Hotels.com Read more

In San Francisco again for business, I was thrilled when I pulled up to the hotel. The location was fantastic and I'd be within walking distance of both my meetings and great restaurants. The staff was wonderful, the lobby was gorgeous, and the wine reception by the fireplace was a nice touch. Little did I know that I should have guzzled the wine in […] order to sleep because the beds were simple incompatible with sleep. I lay on the first one and my honest reaction, no exaggeration, was that by mistake someone had put some sort of display in my room...a wooden box with sheets meant to photograph the layout or something. Unfortunately, a move to bed number 2 told me that alas, the beds were simply the hardest, lowest quality beds I've ever slept in. After a sleepless night, I awoke with a sore back (and I'm in good shape in my early 30s without any problems usually) and confirmation from my coworker that his experience was the same. It was so bad, I decided to forgo my second night and take the red-eye home. I NEVER take red-eyes, but I figured if I'm not going to sleep at all, I might as well not sleep at all while on my way home early. Read more

Good location and wonderful staff. They even upgraded us for our anniversary. The only fault I have is that the bathrooms are very outdated. The small shower was adequate but for a junior suite, I would have expected a tub or at least a larger shower and new tile. Your staff was very welcoming and they make up for the imperfections of the hotel. Grant […] and Molly took great care of us. Read more

I spend a lot of time in San Francisco on business and this is my favorite hotel. Convenient, quiet, great service and fantastic value. Evening wine receptions are nice. I've stayed at pricier places that were noisy and lacked the great service of this place.

For the price I paid, this was a very great place to stay. Its close to everything shopping eating and the subway. Rooms were very clean and for San Fran Standards, decent size. Cant ask for much more.

We loved the Galleria Park. Will be our go to hotel every time we are in San Francisco

This is a charming, updated boutique hotel. The location near Union Square was convenient to our needs. The staff was very helpful. Morning coffee and evening wine receptions were nice touches. We loved the rooftop terrace. Our room was small but comfortable. We were very satisfied.

If you want to be in the shopping, dining, and overall center of SF, this is the place to stay! The room was small but well appointed and clean. We definitely will stay there again.

I was fortunate enough to catch a discount on this place when I booked, but it was just exceptional! My business colleague with whom I shared and I were just blown away. Comfortable lobby and room, free in room wifi, coffee in the morning, wine and movies in the evening, a lovely roof top garden.....just magnificent all of it. And the staff completely […] friendly and helpful.... Thank you Galleria and thank you Hotels.com for hooking us up! Read more

A few blocks from Union Square, great restaurants nearby, bakery on the corner. The lobby is very smart and the entire staff never fails to smile and say hello. The building itself is a smidge shabby, but this is typical of older buildings in San Francsicso and the furniture and appointments are all new, tasteful, and elegant. I would absolutely stay […] here again. Read more
