The Hotel Drisco San Francisco

This is a wonderful and beautiful hotel set in a beautiful part of town with stunning views over the city. The area is residential set amongst stunning houses. However, Filmore Street with shops, bars and restaurants is only a 15 min walk. Amazingly they have a complementary car service which will take you into town in the morning. The hotel decor is […] beautiful with antique furniture. Vey high quality. There is free coffee, tea available all day in the stunning lounge where you can sit and read the papers. They also have free cheese and wine every night. The complementary breakfast is generous and good quality. The rooms are beautiful and do not disappoint and the beds are very comfortable. I really can not think of any negatives about this luxury, beautiful, very friendly hotel. This hotel rates in my top three of all time best hotels in the world - stay here, you will not be disappointed! Continua a leggere

Had I checked into the Ritz Carlton? The staff and service provided was at that level. Fortunately, the nightly rate was far below the Ritz in San Francisco(where I also like to stay).

I arrived late and was welcomed by the most professional and friendly front desk I've ever encountered. After a full tour of my accomodations and hotel amenities, I was immediately relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful view of the city from my room. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone who prefers a neighborhood feel vs big city life.

This is a wonderful hotel in an absolutely stunning neighborhood. If you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of San Fran this is a great place. You'll feel like you are going home at the end of the day. The breakfast and wine tasting was a very nice touch. I will stay there again for at least part of any trip I make to San Fran.

The reviews I read for this hotel were very positive, and so I picked the Drisco because (1) it felt like it would be a really welcome splurge for my boyfriend and me (after a week of staying with relatives in the northwest), and (2) would be fun to explore a neighborhood I don't know very well (so many hotels being downtown). Unfortunately, our travel […] plans were changed, and when we called 24 hours before we were supposed to check in (for a 2 night stay) to say we would not arrive in San Francisco until the second day of the reservation, the hotel responded with no empathy, and provided a very curt reminder that we would have to pay for the room for two nights whether or not we showed up at all. When we arrived to check in, we did not feel welcome, and were told we could find our room downstairs next to the breakfast room. And next to the breakfast room we were, where we listened to everyone coming and going from 6:30am on: dishes clanking, loud voices, and a view directly from our bedroom window across the building's (inaccessible?) courtyard to the food prep area (curtains had to be closed the whole time - no natural daylight and no view). At the buffet breakfast we decided that if we were at least 20 years older (we are 30), we might have gotten a good morning, and perhaps been asked if we wanted a coffee or a cappuccino as the older guests around us were. I tried to flag a waiter down for a bit and gave up and decided to get something on the street... Too bad the beautiful residential neighborhood of Pacific Heights where the hotel is located doesn't offer many coffee options too close by. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone - regardless of age. It is a real bummer we paid two nights for a nice hotel and ended up with one very disappointing experience. Continua a leggere

We have just returned from a 10 night stay in San Francisco, 2 of these were spent at Hotel Drisco. From start to finish Hotel Drisco was fantastic. We arrived after a long car journey and were greeted with smiles and our luggage taken to our room. We were informed at check in that we had been upgraded to a suite, a fantastic start! The room did not […] disappoint, beauitful views across the city, an incredibly comfortable bed and a beautiful bathroom with everything you would need. Having free wifi was a huge plus and we had not found it in any other hotels we had stayed in. Every evening there is a wine hour, with amazing wines and snacks in the dining room, on one of the evenings there was a rep from one of the vineyards in Napa and we were able to taste 5 or 6 different wines, a great start to any eveing. The continental breakfast was also very good and plentiful. We could not fault this hotel and are already talking about going back. We have both stayed in a number of hotels, for both business and leisure, and agree that this is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Continua a leggere

The Drisco is a well-managed, comfortable, and compact hotel that served us well during a long getaway weekend in SF. Its location won't suit everybody, since it is distant from downtown, and there are no stores in the immediate vicinity. It is, however, a few blocks from Fillmore, which has great restaurants. Even though our room was in the basement […] (it looked out on a wall, which was very discouraging at first), it proved to be quiet, restful, and nicely appointed. The Drisco's breakfast was excellent, and we appreciated the complimentary chocolate shortbreads. We'd certainly return there. Continua a leggere

Hotel Drisco is a wonderful place to hide in SF. It's quiet, romantic, beautiful, elegant, and its staff is very friendly and helpful. My wife and I loved it. Our only whine is that there were no blackout shades to keep the room dark in the morning. Bring a sleeping mask if you want to sleep in. Parking was easy - never had to park more than a block […] away, and didn't have to pay for parking. The location is excellent - the hotel is surrounded by Pacific Heights mansions and a 3 minute walk took us to some spectacular views of the Presidio, the Bay, and the rest of the city. You'll definitely enjoy this place. Continua a leggere

Everything was fabulous about this hotel except for the noise at night and the lack of air movement in the room. There was no fan or a.c. and you couldn't open the windows due to the street noise, so neither of us slept well.

a beautiful location-though not for those who find walking difficult. very high hills. I would stay here again

No parking. Move your own car every three hours (before 6 PM). Staff knew little about restaurants, etc. Only one thermostat for entire hotel. No individual control of temperature in rooms. Was informed there was a space heater in closet if we got too cold. None existed. Should you need a space heater in a suite? Quaint...yes. Nothing near by. Worth […] it...not a chance.

We were given a room on lowest level floor with view of brick wall - ie another building. Our room was very small with dated furnishings. Construction noise present during mid day from work on same floor. Fold out couch in adjacent tiny sitting room was sub standard (to be precise, broken). I would not return. The neighborhood (pacific heights) was […] beautiful. Continua a leggere

I love the Hotel Drisco and will stay there again in the future. This is in spite of the fact that 1) it is at the top of a very steep hill, so if you are a public transportation user like I am, you will have sore calves at the end of each day, and 2) you have to walk or take a bus to get to restaurants, shops, etc. Those are two very minor points, […] however, in light of the number of very positive things about the hotel. 1) The staff is wonderfully helpful; 2) breakfast! tea! wine and snacks! yummy chocolate cookies on your bed at night!; 3) a great small hotel feel--you actually feel like you are "coming home" at the end of the day; 4) free wireless; 5) residential location. It's not too far of a walk to Sacramento St., Fillmore St., and California St., and all of those streets have great food and shopping. And the number 3 and number 1 buses stop nearby. My stay was terrific, and I loved this place. Continua a leggere

Wonderful staff and intimate hotel. We will stay there again.

We chose the Drisco because it is removed from the noise and pace of Union Square--where I have stayed multiple times in the past with much disappointment. The hotel was supremely comfortable, quiet and well appointed. Our room, on the Dining Room level, was a like a sanctuary to come back to at the end of the day. Even though the room was downstairs […] from the lobby level, the hotel is on a steep hill, so we were not underground. The breakfast buffet in the morning was plentiful and fresh--I understand there are wine tastings in the evening, but we did not partake. The location of the hotel makes you feel more like a local and less like a tourist. You can walk to many restaurants and shops, but only if you're in shape as the hills in Pacific Heights are no joke. The bell staff will move your car around if you want to leave it in the neighborhood for the day. All in all, a great experience and wonderful value. Continua a leggere

Despite the Hotel being over 100 years old, it has been kept in excellent condition. Its location in Pacific Heights is prime. Another gem the hotel has is its staff. They definitely eased a stressful situation. My wife & I were on our honeymoon. Saturday morning we were ready to check out early and see the sights. We were all set to go but we could […] not find our keys to our rented car. We called the Car Rental company and we were told that we needed to tow the car to a dealership to have a key made. Dealing with the car rental place and the tow truck company was stressful enough and to add poor cell phone reception could drive someone mad. In fact the only negative thing I could say about the hotel is its poor cell phone signal location. Eventually we found the keys to the car. After 3 & a half long wasted hours. But , through that ordeal we were amazed with the help the staff of the hotel provided us. Especially Thanh, the Bell Man. In dealing with our ordeal, we missed breakfast. He was kind enough to bring us some fruit and pastries to keep us from starving. He was so selfless in fact that he even offered his own vehicle in case we needed it. The Maintenance man even stopped the elevator to see if perhaps our car key fell in the gap. To the Hotel Drisco, Thank you. We are looking forward to coming back. Continua a leggere

As i stated above, your wonderful hotel spoiled us for the rest of our trip. Everything was to perfection.

This small boutique hotel reminded me of the elegant apartment my great-grandmother lived in that I used to visit as a child. The hotel is in a beautiful Pacific Heights neighborhood (everything else in this area are old mansions and town homes, many of which have been converted into nice apartments). The Drisco feels more like an elegant older apartment […] building than it does a hotel. The neighborhood is not convenient to walking anywhere, but it is quiet and safe and beautiful. The hotel definitely has an older feel to it, but is clean, and the bathroom (my measure of a hotel) was modern, clean and spacious. The tv was really nice and had full cable. The hotel serves a wonderful expanded complimentary continental breakfast in a nice dining room. There is no other food service at the hotel, but they will bring you a delicious grilled panini with chips any time, 24 hours a day. The room was cold, and there are no individual temperature controls, but they will bring you a space heater that works quite well. The service was great. They also will do customized tour planning for you of sights to see in San Francisco. I would definitely stay here again, but realize you will need to drive or cab most places. Continua a leggere

We had a lovely stay at The Hotel Drisco. It is a charming, boutique hotel, well located in the stunning Pacific Heights section of San Francisco. Our only issue was that despite a reservation over a week In advance, we were put in a room on the dining room floor (another term for the basement) across from the kitchen. The one window looked out onto […] a quaint, internal courtyard, and into the kitchen window on the other side of the courtyard. It was a somewhat noisy location, with kitchen sounds, and noise from the building's heating system. It's really a minor issue, as all other aspects of our experience were lovely. Continua a leggere

We enjoyed our stay at the Drisco. I would stay again at that hotel rather than choosing a larger hotel downtown. The continental breakfast offered each morning, was an added bonus. Parking was not a problem and we loved the surrounding neighborhood. Great location!

What an amazing hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean, comfy and beautiful. The breakfast was the perfect start to the day. The location is a bit far from main attractions, but the walk through the sloping city streets and beautiful mansions is worth it. We will definitley return. 100%.

Wonderful boutique hotel. The neighborhood might not be suited to a first-time visitor to San Francisco (it's a bit far from the sights) but I know the city well and was happy to be located in Pacific Heights. It was super quiet, very relaxing, and it's just gorgeous around there. Our room was very spacious, with nice city views, great bed, great big […] bathroom... really can't complain. There is a nice little wine reception for guests in the afternoon, staff was lovely... really can't say much else other than I would love to return to the Drisco the next time I visit San Francisco. Note: There's no parking on site - it's street parking only, which isn't really an issue on weekends as there are plenty of spots available and no time limits. On weekdays however, it might become a "thing" as you have to move your car every three hours until 6pm. The upside of that is, no astronomical parking fees on checkout. :) Continua a leggere

Loved this beautiful hotel. Very nice staff, and great location.

Everything about our stay was first rate. Wine tasting in the evening, complimentary umbrellas, delicious breakfasts, and a very attentiv e staff. It was in a beautiful neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist traffic but very accessible to all activities.

The hotel was lovely, the staff friendly and wonderful. Oh, and the cookies at turn down were decadent!

Hotel exceeded expectations...just sweet little place, very quiet, beautiful location. Loved it.

Excellent hotel for a relaxing stay. Extremely friendly, helpful, and knoweledgable staff.

Beautiful hotel in a lovely neighborhood. My wife and I live in the Bay Area, but wanted to spend the night in San Francisco to celebrate her birthday in style, and avoid the drive home after a festive dinner. The Drisco was a great choice -- so much more appropriate for the occasion than a big, anonymous chain hotel in the Financial District.

I've stayed in hotels all over San Francisco and this is my favorite boutique hotel so far. It is ideal to explore the Presidio, the Pacific Heights neighborhood and Union Street. The staff is very nice and professional, they hold a wine social and breakfast has several fresh and delicious choices.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by an excellent doorman. Having stayed in a large city centre hotel previously the Drisco was a haven of peace and calm. Our room was very quiet and well furnished but its high quality staff is what made our stay so enjoyable.

This is the best hotel I have ever visited! It far exceeded our expectations, though we had heard

very beautiful wood interior nice rooms nice breakfast great people

super hôtel avec personnel très serviable et compétent.Comfort de la suite,buffet breakfast très agréable de même que l'evening wine.Parking alentours facile et gratuit!!!j'y retournerai très volontiers

静な恒久住宅街の高台のホテルはゆったりと過ごすにはいいですね、団体や日本人も少なく、ヨーロッパのホテルの雰囲気、名の知れた高級ホテルよりお勧め。 但し、レンタカーが必需ですね。

Very nice employees and a strong concept. A good breakfast buffet and the afternoon tea and free wine and cheese are signs of a high service factor as well as the morning shuttle. We had very good recommendations for restaurants and they also support take-out with menus available at the front-desk so not having an in-house restaurant is well compensated […] for. Could be warm in your room if SF surprises with hot weather as there is no A/C. No hotel parking but no problem getting weekend or overnight parking in the street. A bit of walking distance to restaurants or shopping but not enough to lower the score. Continua a leggere

ダウンタウンからは少し離れているけど、周りの街並みもきれいだし、少し歩けばミュニバスの停留所もあるし、朝7時から10時くらいまではホテルのリムジンでダウンタウンまで送ってもらえる（フロントに頼めばOK）ので特に不便は感じませんでした。スタッフは日本語が話せる人はいないようなので多少の英語力は必要です。でも、スタッフは皆さん親切で丁寧なので、私のような中学生レベルの英語力で十分通用しました。 オプショナルツアーを利用する場合は街中のホテルと違ってホテルまで迎えに来てもらえないのでユニオンスクエアあたりのホテルまで自力で行く必要があります。朝早い集合時間のツアーの場合はタクシーで行ったほうが無難です。（ホテルからダウンタウンまでは車で１０分くらいでチップ込みで２０ドルほどです） 基本的に周りは住 […] 宅街なのでショッピングや食事はフィルモアストリート（歩いて１５分くらい）まで出て行く必要があります。 客に日本人はほとんどいなくて、５泊して最終日に１回だけ朝食で日本人と遭遇し、思わず話し込んでしまいました。 旅行の目的にもよりますが、街中の高級ホテルとは違った良さが十分に楽しめるホテルなので非常によかったと思います。 Continua a leggere
