Hotel Drisco Reviews

Guest reviews are submitted by our customers after their stay at Hotel Drisco

We picked the hotel for the relatively good value for the money and because it was said to be "quiet".

The hotel is nice, and a good value for the money, but we'd stay elsewhere next time bc of the noise.

The price: a fraction of what other "luxury" hotels in town charge.

For my money, the top hotel in San Francisco in a great, quiet neighborhood.

The hotel is located in the Pacific Heights section of San Francisco, which is a beautiful neighborhood, but an out of the way location for most site seers.

The location couldn't be more perfect for us, situated in Pacific Heights, walking distance to the best shopping and restaurants in the city.

Beautiful location in a very safe upscale residential neighborhood, nice hotel in Pacific Heights and the front desk was good.

I was impressed when they called and paid for a taxi cab ride when the complimentary ride was running late.

There are some nice restaurants a few blocks walk away and its a short taxi ride or bus ride into downtown or fishermans wharf.

With the high ceilings, plentiful windows on two sides of the room, two flat screen TV’s (one in the living room and one in the bedroom), very comfortable bed, and full amenities, we were most content.

We had a suite with a king size bed, a large bathroom, and the most stunning views from the many windows.

Room: Large two room suite, with nice furniture, excellent lighting, and a very comfortable bed.

The walls are paper thin & we could hear conversations from the other bathrooms & bedrooms including the gentleman snoring on the other side of our bed!

My king bed room was cozy and fairly spacious (given the small size of the hotel) with high-speed internet connection (no WiFi), fridge, closet and TV.

There is also no restaurant or bar, so apart from the breakfast, the only food available on site are grilled sandwiches.

Unfortunately, the weather was not very good (not the hotel's fault), the hotel has no restaurant or bar, and there were no restaurants, bars or shops within easy walking distance.

I explained that my husband and I had eaten there in 1990 when it was called the El Drisco and still had a restaurant, and that the meal had been our first date.

There were plenty of restaurants that delivered to the hotel and I ordered Chinese food out for diner the first night I was there.

The breakfast buffet is very generous and the display of food very elegant.

Everyone, from the front desk staff to the chamber maids, was cheerful, helpful, hospitable, and really gave new meaning to customer service.

The staff from bell hop to front desk was unfailingly nice and polite which made staying here a real pleasure; additionally the hotel adds some choice "extras" such as a complimentary wine and cheese reception from 5-7PM, which was very pleasant.

Informative info from staff-good breakfast-location excellent, they upgraded my hotel room free of charge and the front desk was very helpful.

The front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful and we could not have asked for more.

Use of the gym and pool in the Presidio is provided.

There is plenty of parking within two or three blocks of the hotel.

We had a rental car and although parking was terrible in the city, at the hotel, parking was a breeze!

Our room had an interesting view, was a nice size, and was clean and fresh.

A truly superb hotel, excellent service and the bathroom was modern and clean.

The room was extremely clean, the breakfast was good, and it was nice to change hotel locations to see other parts of San Francisco.

For example, the staff knew our names, worked around our schedule to clean the room, and were just friendly overall.

The room was clean, comfortable, and had a great view of the city from the top of the hill.
