The location of the hotel was very convinient because it is very close to the Union Square and the Chinatown. The hotel itself is very small, the rooms are small too. However, it is clean and cozy. The hotel did not have a free parking, which this website does not notify anywhere before booking. Please pay attention to the availability of parking before booking. We had to pay big bucks for per day parking space, and one of the reasons is that the location of the hotel is in downtown. But if we wouldve known earlier we would not get that hotel because we ended up paying way much more than expected. Hotel has a business and a fitness center, no pool, slow wi-fi. Overall it is a good hotel if you are staying for couple of days, if longer Ide suggest getting something else. Thank You

I've been to San Francisco many times this year, but I never stayed in a hotel as Orchard Garden. The attention to service was exceptional. I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for comfort, good location, and efficient staff. Perfect!

A clean room and modern decor were very inviting. Noise was less than in many hotels I've visited. The large room safe is very handy.

Very convenient location. If you like walking, this place is walking distance to everything. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Large bathroom. Very small gym: 1 elliptical, 1 bike, and 1 treadmill. Best overnight parking was underneath the cathedral: $27 for overnight parking.

I've been coming to SF for twelve years and this is hands down the best hotel I've ever stayed in. Great bed, great pillows for starters. Great breakfast place across the street (try the poached eggs in wine sauce--fabulous!). I will now stay here every time I come to SF.

I've been going to SF for 12 years and this is the best hotel I've ever stayed in. It has fabulous beds and fabulous pillows. La Presse, a cafe, right across the street has the best poached eggs I have ever eaten (poached in wine sauce--for breakfast! Unbelievable.) I'm never staying anywhere else.

Wish the hotel was a bit cheaper, but hey... I liked it for what I payed for and was able to do

I really liked this hotel. The bathroom was nice and roomy. The bed was very comfortable and the alarm clock was able to play from an iPOD which was really nice. The view was bad but that didn't detract from the really comfortable feel of the room and great service at the hotel. The hotel is 1/2 a block from the entrance to Chinatown, we walked to Pier 39 and it's a short drive to Monster Park, home of the 49ers. Great location, great service, great bed - don't need anything else.

We have stayed at the Orchard Garden twice, each time for just one night. It's a small property - maybe 80 rooms - but it is very modern, attractively decorated, reasonably priced and it's in a great location. The room that we've stayed in each time was small, but comfortable for two people and the bathroom was large. Large flat-screen television with DVD player, an alarm clock/iPod dock, free WiFi - all the amenities I look for in a good hotel room. Excellent bed, linens and towels. The San Francisco Chronicle is delivered each morning instead of the awful USA Today. Very friendly and accommodating staff and a nice bar and restaurant on the ground floor. Highly recommended!

The hotel was great, but the check in experience was not so great. I had made reservations for a room with a king size bed at the Orchard Garden Hotel. I phoned earlier the day of check-in to confirm that I had a reservation there and was assured I did. When I arrived at 8:30 that evening, the valet asked my name and then told me to wait in my car. He came back and told me the hotel had overbooked and I was to go to their sister hotel just 3 blocks UP the hill. I did not want to go to that hotel up the hill! After the manager tried to bribe me with a free breakfast, he finally admitted there were rooms with two double beds and I took it. I don't like the fact that I was switched to another hotel after I confirmed my reservation.

This hotel is about 7 steps from the Gate to Chinatown. Staff was friendly without being overly so. Room a bit small, but the bed was scarily comfortable. I heard no outside noises, and I am a very light sleeper. I would highly recommend staying here for business or pleasure. Took the San Francisco Movie Tour and will also be writing a rave review for them. Got to learn about SF as well as see movie clips as we drove around. Far East Cafe was within easy walking distance and a great sit-down dinner.

Nice and clean, great personnel. My second visit and I would stay again.

So after taking a Friday off to do nothing, my friend and I decide to drive to SF for an overnight stay. While he's driving, I'm on the iPhone looking at the hotels.com website for a room. I usually keep my filters at price under $125 and user rating above 4 stars. Needless to say in SF on a Friday night, looking for somewhere to stay on the day of didnt net too many results. I had 4 options three of which were 2 star hotels, and then there was Orchard Garden... This place is everything the other reviewers stated, I did notice someone said their bed was a bit too firm, but both the beds in our room were super comfy! Next time I head to SF, I'll be checking this hotel first!

This wonderfully clean, newer boutique hotel is located right next to the ChinaTown gate and not far from Union Square. Seven blocks away is a great seafood eatery, Tadich Grill on California Ave. Try the Chiopino.

Great hotel, great location and great price. I use to live in SF but was back just for the weekend and decided to find an affortable and nice hotel. Orchard Garden did all of that. If you want to shop its right around the corner from my favorite flag ship store! Hotel was very clean, bed was nice w/ down comforters, nice sheets and towels. Room service was great and timely. I would recommend this hotel anyone on a budget coming to SF.

We booked this on Hotels.com, and as it was our first experience with the site, well, we weren't too sure what to expect. Let me say that the Orchard garden was just wonderful..terrific location, great reception and attitude of the entire staff, and a fine little spot off the lobby where we enjoyed a glass of wine. You can walk just about everywhere from here, or take the bus of trolley. Really could not have been nicer..

This hotel was something of a find. We booked on line after looking at the web site of the hotel itself and comparing it to others in the location. The hotel is not a super larger luxury five star place with huge parking facilities, pools, saunas, enormous neoclassical columns etc; if you want that kind of thing then the Westin St. Francis is going to be more your kind of place. However the hotel is modern, clean, has enough facilities for a city visitor, has a fantastic restaurant (best food I ate during my holiday in California) and is superbly located. The rooms themselves are clean, nicely decorated, have a mini bar and also have well appointed bathrooms with lovely toiletries. The beds are very large and comfortable and though compact the rooms don't feel small. There is a fitness room (with a very limited number of machines, but nevertheless it's there) and a free business centre (although someone needs to update the software on the PCs) and both of these are complementary. The highlights of the Orchard Garden are it's location, restaurant and overall feel. TIP: Eat in the Roots restaurant at least one evening during your stay.

We often visit San Francisco, and were very happy with this hotel. Service was good and friendly. The room was very clean and nice. The location was great, we ate at several restaurants within two blocks. We will book here again!

In San Francisco its all about location. The proximity to things you love to do. For us a trip down to Union Square is always a must and this hotel affords the opportunity to walk to the shopping and great restaurants. We stayed here about a month ago and we were just as pleased this time as last.

Chinatown gate literally around the corner. Fantastic location. Staff was great, funny, prompt. Hotel is green, meaning it is actually LEED certified. Hotel stands out from the others in the area. Service was great. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and just the right size for two. I would stay here again. I visited San Fran for pleasure and to shop. Couldn't beat the location to walk to all the shops, go back to the hotel, drop off my finds, and then get back out to shop, eat, and drink. Love this hotel. Irish Bank bar right across the street rocks!

Really did like staying at the Orchard Garden during our 4 night stay. Within walking distance to lots of San Francisco. Hotel staff was outstanding and we got a room on the 8th floor, rear of the building and it was very quiet. Super clean room and I liked the idea that every time I left the room the lights and AC shut down to save engery. One dissapointment tho. Many of the reviews described what a wonderful nights sleep they got at the hotel. Yes the linens and comforter were very nice but the mattress was about as hard as the floor. Even my wife who likes a firmer than firm mattress said it was hard. Other than that this was a outstanding hotel.

I would consider myself very picky with high expecations and we could not have asked for anything more! Great location. Hotel staff was GREAT, courtious and helpful.

Our number one reason for staying at the Orchard Garden was its commitment to being environmentally friendly. We really liked the simple things they've done to save energy like requiring you to put your keycards in a slot to turn on the lights, so you don't forget to turn them out on your way out of the room. The room was very large, and the linens were incredibly comfortable. The room in general was great. The location of the hotel was very convenient, especially since we were travelling by public transportation and there's a BART station only a few blocks away. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend the hotel to others.

The staff were friendly. The room (king single) was small but well-appointed. This hotel is only a few years old. The rooftop terrace is special. Don't miss out on the great robes in the closet. They look like packets of linen, so you might not notice them. Soundproofing is poor. The bar is expensive ($15 for a glass of wine). The fitness room contains only treadmills and bikes.

We absolutely loved this hotel. The rooms were spacious and very nice, the location was perfect (right by China Town, a short walk from Union Square, Market Street and North Beach) and the area was clean and safe. We would stay there again!

Good location, great value, friendly and accomodating staff, comfortable and spacious room, cute rooftop sitting area and eco friendly. You won't be disappointed.

The staff was wonderful and very helpful. The room was a bit small, but kept clean and we were able to get into our room when we arrived. It would have been nice to have complimentary coffee in the lobby in the morning.

Hotel was very clean and well kept. Only problem is that we booked a king size bed and got 2 doubles, but the room was very comfortable. Parking is expensive 47 dollars a night but cheap lot up the street. On site restaurant is also expensive. Hotel is close to public transportation which is convenient.

This hotel was nice and clean, and we got a great deal considering the great location. The only negative thing was that our view was pretty bad. Our window faced a scary-looking alley with a dumpster.

I enjoyed this hotel very much. It was two doors from the entrance of Chinatown in beautiful Nob Hill. You could walk to all the great shopping places, jump on a F-train, and be in the castro in 9 blocks. The hotel was beautiful, great people, and excellent service.

The Orchard Garden Hotel was a very nice hotel. The location was great because it was centrally located to everything in the downtown area. It was a short walking distance to Chinatown, Market Street, the Embarcadero, Coit Tower, and the Central Business District, i.e. The Transamerica Pyramid Building. The hotel itself was very well kept, clean, new, and had a very helpful staff. The rooms were a bit small, and the bed was too soft to my wife and my liking, but those were minor issues to contend with. Overall a great value for the money. My wife and I would definitely stay there again.

Centrally located, comfortable, convenient. Helpful, friendly staff with great restaurant suggestions.

The price and location for this hotel was great for budget travel to San Francisco. The doormen and front desk were always pleasant and helpful with directions. The room was small and basic. Clean with a comfortable bed. There were several minor irritations with this hotel that added up when dealt with day after day. Forget about the "spacious rooftop patio" it's just a windy concrete slab with no view and metal chairs. Housekeeping kept forgetting washcloths and conditioner. The hotel is "green" so you re-use your towels. That's fine except housekeeping would fold them instead of letting them hang which meant that you had a wet towel when you wanted to use it again. The temperature was difficult to regulate, the room was not vacuumed daily. None of these things are awful, just annoying. But the price was right for the location if you're on a budget.

The Orchard Garden Hotel was a superb and great for all your needs in San Fran. The location is excellent - next door to the Chinatown Gateway, walking distance to Union Square, and just a few minutes away from cable car/bus stops. The room provided adequate space with a big bathroom, a very comfy bed, flatscreen TV and DVD player! This was one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed at. Staff were friendly and very helpful - gave us advice on restaurants, travel and directions. The only con of this hotel is that there is no fridge or kettle in the room, however they do have a coffee/tea making machine - I just brewed it without tea/coffee for hot water to drink herbal tea.
