Top Japantown Hotel Reviews

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Love the proximity to Union Square, Market St, Chinatown, Ferry Building & every form of public transportation !"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was in an amazing location. Rooms were clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We could walk to most all attractions. The breakfast was spectacular. I loved the fire tables with the seating. We were disappointed there was no hot tub and we could hear the upstairs people walking around. Overall I would highly recommend this property."

Comfort Inn by the Bay

8/10 Good

"Nice staff. Breakfast was good and stocked up nicely. The fresh fruit was very welcomed. We stayed there to separate times and the 2nd room was noisy at night due to the wind and the window not sealed enough. Otherwise for the level of hotel I do recommend. Also close enough to the wharf to make it convenient to get around."
