The Sir Francis Drake is a stunning hotel. From the doormen dressed in beefeater costume to the sumptuously decorated Lobby bar and the stunningly styled rooms this hotel delivers esthetics plus! The staff was extremely helpful and prompt when called down for things. The rooms were on the smaller side but beautiful. The downside was the old casement window that... More

After a long flight and BART ride the front desk staff was cheerful, witty, and inquisitive (which I don't mind). The room/bathroom was a bit on the small side with two double beds but was otherwise quiet and comfortable. I was surprised by the ten dollar charge for in-room internet. The lobby bar (quite busy but not ridiculous on a... More

I had a fantastic stay at this property. This was my first visit to San Fran and first time at a Kimpton Property. The hotel was centrally located in the heart of it all, which made it easy to get around. What impressed me the most about this property was the staff and the high level of Customer Service that...

The hotel said they were dog friendly and after looking at the pictures online it was hard to believe. I'm 27 years old but dress like i'm 16 and have an 80lbs english golden retriever so i was expecting the usually "what the hell are u doing this nice hotel treatment" i was completely wrong! Probably the best stay i've... More

This hotel is really nice. Great restaurant downstairs, nice lobby, great bar at the top of the building and nice rooms. Really enjoyed my stay - so close to great shopping, restaurants and bars.

The rooms are small, like really small. We were upgraded to a deluxe room with two queen beds which was very small in space, the bathrooms are tiny. I requested... More

My expectations were definitely high when I booked my room at the Drake. I was traveling solo on business without a rental car, so location was key. Right on the Powell/Market Street trolley line, I knew that this hotel was someplace special. I arrived to be greeted by a very friendly doorman dressed as a Beefeater. He introduced himself and...

I had a corner room with an amazing view of the city. Hotel bar was well stocked. Staff were very welcoming. I had no problems sleeping, however I've been told the street noise can keep you awake if you're a light sleeper. The concierge was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and hands down the best concierge I've ever seen. Starlight Room on... More

Saturday night when they hosted the San Francisco (east?) High school prom, held on the 4th floor of the hotel, my 3rd floor room was literally shaking and pulsing in beat with every base note till 11:45 pm. My required 5:15 am wake up was very unwelcome. On the other hand, the location is fabulous, and other nights there were... More
