We spent 3 nights in San Francisco at the tail end of a trip through California, Arizona and Nevada. We booked a triple room for me, my husband and 15 year old son and we weren't disappointed by the size of our room, which included a massive queen size bed and a comfortable sofa bed and still had loads of... more

We stayed at this hotel for four nights. The cost of the stay was the same using various websites or the hotel's own site and cost $100 for a large room as we were travelling with our teenage daughter. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, including the night staff as we arrived very late after a flight from the... more

We checked into The Donatello for 3 nights, August 20-22nd. The hotel is in a great San Francisco location: about 3 blocks from the Street Car turn-a-round on Powell St.; the same distance to the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) Powell stop; with Trolley Cars and Buses all nearby. Note: a BART ride to SFO (San Francisco International Airport) is... more

The staff at the Donatello was very professional and friendly during our four night stay. We checked into room 915 which was considered a “quiet” room. I was afraid that our view would be the wall of another building but luckily we had a half way decent view of the Clift & Hilton hotels a block or two away. To... more

We really enjoyed our stay. The bed was good, the room was clean, the shower was nice and strong, and the decor was really cool. The location for site seeing was great, especially if you're into Union Square and Chinatown. The address should really be on Mason Street as the valet car drop off is not on Post. The staff... more

San Francisco was the last stage of our trip to California and we stayed at The Donatello from 19th to 24th April 2008. We chose it after studying many hotel reviews and were well pleased with our choice. The hotel has been refurbished in contemporary style. Our room was huge by city standards. We had a microwave, sink unit and... more

This was our first visit to San Francisco. We stayed from Jun 27 to jul 3. Our experience was great in the Donatello. Very clean, excellent location, and very customer oriented staff. The hotel is at walking distance to the great union square and many shops, restaurants,bars and even a drug store. The room was clean, confortable, a/c (we never... more

I join the chorus of admirers on TripAdvisor who recommend this hotel for its excellent location, large rooms, consistent service and undeniable value. Our very large, king-bedded room on a high floor featured a clean, small bath with marble surfaces and expectable amenities. We were told that it was on "Club Level," which may or may not indicate a premium... more
