    Might be an American hotel thing but would have preferred other options for milk in room than creamer for our coffees (eg uht or fresh milk)

    Great location, comfy beds and pristine rooms

    Nice and quiet stay in the middle of SF

    Free tea and coffee on the top floor are a nice touch, however lots of times there was no hot water or coffee in the evenings. No breakfast on the property. The minibar stocked up, but not free (although price is $2 or $2.50 for most if the staff). Parking is expensive, but we agreed it was our best option. Game room has everything outdated, pool table is awfully cheap, and air hockey worn out, darts are broken.

    Spacious, clean room. Very quiet despite being right in the middle of the city. Having parking a big advantage, although expensive ($58 with tax), however you don’t really save if you park elsewhere, as it comes to $50 anyways (or more like $70 in other hotels) - but at least you don’t have to walk anywhere to get a car. Kind of mid range for Union square area. Check in and check out fast, lobby always has music, elevators too. Turndown service was nice, reminded of the cruise. Good blackout curtains, firm mattress. Ironing board was a little wobbly. They have umbrella in the room. Didn’t provide slippers, although bathrobe is there. Wish they had breakfast on the premises, but there are a few places walking distance. Close to cable car, but a decent walk to the piers, be prepped. Some creepy areas 6th and 7th street, but you can easily avoid going there.

    Great venue, classic hospitality in a key part of SF
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Deluxe King Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    One minor caveat: the relatively small room inventory (it's primarily a timeshare) means options like early check-in can be tough if you're traveling for business.

    Donatello is of that breed of hotel that still recalls old-fashioned hospitality and comfort: a room with some size and a proper couch and closet, real fixtures in the bathroom, an actual view. A club on the roof where you can relax and work! At a time when SF has not a whole lot to offer, the folks here are working overtime.

    The pod coffee machine in the room wasn't great - would have preferred a simple jug/kettle.

    A very comfortable room in a quiet hotel with good facilities. Reasonably walking distance to public transport options, and a lot of cafe/restaurant options within a two block radius. Like all of SF there were street people in the general area but we never felt unsafe.

    There was a lot of noise from nearby building (like large objects being dumped by a dump truck) during the night. The view from our window was of a lot full of garbage. A lot of unhoused people in the neighborhood.

    Room, bed, staff super friendly, close to Union Square.

    The windows in the room sounded like one was open although it wasn't and the street beneath is quite noisy.

    Very clean, helpful staff and lovely club on the top floor to relax with a complimentary coffee or tea. Very light, airy and well decorated reception area. Very accommodating for luggage storage and early check-in with no fuss.

    The property is marvelous. Being on the edge of the Tenderloin can make it a bit sketchy for walking. But you’re a block off of Powell and Union Square and all transportation is very convenient.

    The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated. Very comfortable bed and wonderful bathroom. They also provided daily service and even delivered nightly chocolates and a newspaper!!

    Hearing the toilet flushing and showers from other rooms throughout the night. Not having a larger fridge to store grocery items.

    Everyone was welcoming and friendly, from reception to housekeeping, especially La Juana -phenomenal customer service. The room was very comfortable, and provided amenities were great. The location provided easy access to sites and shopping.
