“Great Hotel”

Hotel Drisco

5 of 5 stars

1/1 found this review helpful

We recently visited the US for our honeymoon and stayed at the Hotel Drisco and I really can't fault this hotel in any way.

The staff were lovely, helpful and friendly. The room was fantastic and they even put a complimentary bottle of wine in our room as a gift for our honeymoon (nice touch). We had an extra night in San Fransico at the end of our trip so rebooked at this hotel. The second room was again lovely, however the walls were a little thin, but to be honest it didn't bother us at all and I can't speak highly enough about this hotel.

Every morning there was a complimentary basic breakfast (which was everything we wanted, cereal, pastries, coffee, tea, juice, toast etc) in the sitting room and in the evenings they had complimentary wine and cheese, and it was good!

The Hotel itself is situated in Pacific Heights which in my opinion is nicest area of San Fransico but it is a $5-$10 taxi ride from Fishermans Wharf etc - however the hotel is in walking distance of some awesome resteraunts & the area is very safe and and is really a tourist attraction itself. The Hotel will also organise for Resteraunt delivery if you require it.

On the last day, they arranged for late check out because we didn't have to go to the airport until later, they also arranged a town car to pick us up and whilst we were waiting for the town car we sat in the waiting area.... Which was fully equiped with biscuits, newpapers, tea, coffee and some really comfortable chairs.

To sum up - Thank you for being so wonderful, I can not reccommend this hotel enough & to be honest if it is available your crazy if you don't book it. Out of all the hotels in America it was our favourite.

“A wonderful experience!”

Hotel Drisco

1/1 found this review helpful

A friend recommended the Hotel Drisco to us during our stay in San Francisco. We could not have been happier with our accommodations. From the moment we checked in to our departure four days later, we were impressed with the service. From the suggestions of local restaurants to directions to various sights, the staff was extremely helpful. Bob at the front desk went above and beyond in making sure our stay was enjoyable. Not only was the location of the hotel wonderful, but all the extra amenities added to the pleasure of our stay. The Hotel Drisco is a place we would highly recommend to our family and friends, and we will definitely be returning soon.

“What a Nice Hotel!”

Hotel Drisco

Over from the the UK for a wedding. Large room with lovely view over the city. Away from the racket of downtown but within easy bus or taxi range. Local shops and restaurants about 15 mins walk away. Staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Had a great time.

“Wonderful hotel with superb service and fabulous location”

This is a wonderful place to stay in San Francisco. Pacific Heights is a beautiful area, very safe and it's an experience just to walk around and see the amazing homes.

It is a fair distance from the main tourist sights but we loved walking around, even with the steep hills! We were very glad not to be staying in downtown and to retire to our lovely neighbourhood.

From the moment we arrived, the staff could not do enough. Our room was prepared early. We were very happy to be upgraded to a suite as it was our honeymoon and on our first night the bed had been decorated with petals - a nice touch.

There are plenty of parking spaces around. There are signs saying it is three hour parking but the staff were more than happy to take our keys and move the car if needs be.

The breakfast is perfectly adequate. The room we stayed in was tasteful and classic in its design as was the rest of the hotel that we saw. Hard to find any fault with this hotel.

“Hidden Gem in Pacific Heights!!”

Hotel Drisco

5 of 5 stars

2/2 found this review helpful

We just returned from a 4 day visit in San Francisco, for our anniversary and enjoyed our stay at Hotel Drisco immensely!! It's a small but charming hotel in posh Pacific Heights, that's elegant, quiet, comfortable and reasonable. We chose HD based on TripAdvisor & Frommer guide reviews, booked directly with the hotel, got 4-star amenities: robes, slippers, LAVISH products, friendly, professional staff & conciege, daily paper, turndown service, daily breakfast & evening wine reception. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but they have limited room service(delicious paninni sandwiches) and an Order In service with decent selection, prices for the one night we stayed in. Local dining, shopping and buses are just walking distance away. And if we needed take a cab, a quick call to front desk and we had one within 5-10min! The hotel has a town car service, which provides transportation to & from the airport (fee added) AND complimentary daily service to downtown from 7:30-9:30am, M-F. Otherwise, parking is hard to find. (Not a problem, as we did not drive!) Beds are very comfy, decor is elegant, understated vintage. We had corner room, 406B, deluxe king and slept well every night, it was so quiet! The hotel provides several handy guides for walking tours, shopping, dining tips, which we used and staff's recommendations for local eateres: Ella's, Crepevine, Osteria Forno were excellent. We will definitely stay at Hotel Drisco again and highly recommend it for anyone seeking a tasteful, friendly, reasonable change of pace from typical chain hotels in San Francisco!
