The fabulous decor and amazing location help give this place its great vibe! If you're sick of cookie-cutter hotels with no real soul, you need to stay here. The staff are super friendly and super helpful, which is of course a bonus. I thoroughly enjoyed the quirkiness and comfort of this hidden gem.

Let's begin by saying that if you love great service, a cool room and an excellent location, you will love the Hotel Triton. The young and enthusiastic staff makes you feel welcome at any time. We had a double double room on the third floor which was very comfortable and little noise. The SF touches such as the copy of... More

Hotel is in a great location, on the edge of Union Square area and by Chinatown gate; not so great if you want to be close to the port but okay as you can get a cab or even walk and take in the sites. Definitely would recommend staying here.

Hotel is in a great location, on the edge of Union Square area and by Chinatown gate; comfortable rooms; very friendly, helpful, responsive staff...only drawback is to make sure to get an upper floor, away from trash and delivery trucks

We booked the Triton for its location and always fabulous Kimpton service, and it did not disappoint. We were able to walk to Chinatown, the Financial District, Union Square, Hayes Valley and Little Italy with no problem. We were in the Jerry Garcia suite, which is a fabulous large room with a good sized bathroom, although the bathroom showed its... More

Hi SmilynStef ~ Thank you for sharing your feedback. We will get on the Jerry Garcia suite ASAP! I'm sorry that you experienced all of that. Please let me know when you're plans ever bring you back to San Francisco. I'm sure by then the suite will be as groovy as Jerry Garcia would have wanted it to be. I... More

Arrived very late (11.30 pm) after a long delay on Amtrak from Chicago, but hotel reception greeted us warmly. Being very tired we had a slight altercation with the window blind (brain had shut down!) but this was quickly remedied by a cheerful member of housekeeping. Large and spotlessly clean room, "quirky" decor, quality toiletries. Although on a main thoroughfare,... More

The Triton in my opinion is not a hotel where you come for room service or spa services, but its location is what's key. I always stay at the Triton on my trips to San Francisco because it is a small hotel, not pretentious and it is close to shops, Chinatown, bus lines, BART (if you go to East Bay)... More

Oversell and under-deliver are the two words for this frankly appalling hotel. After reading the reviews, and staying at some other great Kimpton hotels in the past, we had high expectations for the Triton, especially due to its good location. However, in reality it couldn't have been more disappointing. We booked a package that included either cocktails or breakfast, expecting... More

Being a Kimoton property, I think I expected a little more from this hotel. First of all, the pluses... Fantastic location, funky decor I love, nice wine hour and entertainment in the evenings. On to the minuses- Shabby rooms, chipped paint, cracked fixtures and awful window unit A/C. That would be easy to overlook if I had not encountered terrible... More
