Top Balboa Park Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"We had an excellent stay at Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, the cable cars, and many great restaurants and attractions. The hotel was spotless, and our room was spacious, comfortable, and very well maintained. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the housekeeping staff did a fantastic job every day. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, with a huge variety of fresh and delicious options to suit every taste. It was the perfect way to start each day of sightseeing. The staff was friendly, professional, and always willing to help. We also enjoyed the beautiful outdoor courtyard and pool area, which was a great place to relax after exploring San Francisco. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!"

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Hyatt Regency. The atrium has such a welcoming atmosphere considering that it is the largest Atrium lobby in the world! It still managed to feel cozy. The staff was friendly, attentive, and well staffed. The location is excellent as well; the BART is steps away from the entrance. It’s also wonderful to end the evening in the Financial District. The Ferry Building is steps away from the hotel and has so much to offer food wise (for young & old :), Not to mention, the convenience of hopping on to a ferry to Sausalito for a day getaway. Highly recommend staying at the Hyatt."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our 4 night stay at Zephyr and I would recommend it. We had a few issues on arrival with our room but these were resolved and a big thank you to Peter the handyman. The room was cleaned, beds made and fresh towels everyday, the cleaning team worked super hard. The location is really close to Pier 39 and super near to the Boudin bakery for great food & coffee for breakfast."
