Reviews for Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel
Beyond expectations
Amazing service and nicely done rooms and Starlite was amazing. Seemless checking in and out and very friendly staff..

Historic vibe with excellent service
The location is prime, the atmosphere is elegant and historic, and my room was super cute - on a corner with an incredible view on two sides. It was sort of pricey, but you get what you pay for. Finally, the service was stellar. From the front desk at check-in to the staff at the restaurant, they made me feel valued and appreciated.

Lovely Hotel with Welcoming Staff
We loved the atmosphere of the hotel. It was both upscale and relaxing. Leif, one of the manager's, was friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The Library was a nicely appointed room for a small post-wedding dinner and the staff was attentive. We really enjoyed our stay at the Beacon Grand.

A great place to stay
Absolutely beautiful place, great restaurant and a great location for a stay in San Francisco. Would definitely stay here again.

There are better options in SF
Not worth it. The "Grand King Room" was small, cramped, and everything felt dated. So small that you can't open the room door if the bathroom door is closed! Stayed for three nights and received no housekeeping visit until I finally complained on the evening of the third day. There are better options in SF.
