Rough Guide "South of Market highrise outpost of the pricey hotel chain that thinks it’s a nightclub."
Michelin Guide "The 'W' doesn't really stand for wonderful, witty, or wow, but all perfectly sum up the style of this corporateloving hotel."
Frommer's "As modern and hip as its fashionable clientele, this 31-story property suits its neighbors, which include the Museum of Modern Art, the Moscone Center, and the Metreon entertainment center." Full review
Concierge "The San Francisco outpost of the W hotel chain is popular with conventioneers for its proximity to the nearby Moscone Center... But the hotel is comfortable as well as trendy."
Fodor's "The epitome of cool urban chic... this swanky 31-story Starwood hotel owes some of its cachet to a prime location next door to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art." Full review

Fragrances waft throughout the hotel and guest rooms, so sensitive noses should call ahead to request special preparations.
Time Out "This trailblazing, chic and ever-so-slightly snooty urban hotel chain continues to expand around the country, but it hasn't yet reached the point at which hip and fashionable turns to yesterday's thing." Full review
Star Service "Monday through Friday this hotel is all about business, but come Friday the energy is fun and frivolous.

Gayot "Given the sophisticated and modernist decor of this SoMa property, it's fitting that the hotel is located adjacent to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art."
BlackBook "Sleekly appointed hotel has co-opted the concept of yuppie Wonderland. Three-story octagonal glass entrance leads straight to the lobby bar (brilliant)."

""If you're looking for a place to party", this "popular", "stylish" SoMa chain boutique is a "fun" "favorite", with "chic", "gorgeous" quarters."

Rough Guide "This family-operated hotel is a feast for the eyes – and a smart bargain as well."
Fodor's "Budget seekers looking for accommodations in the Union Square area will delight in this homey, family-run B&B." Full review
Lonely Planet "Like an old-fashioned pensione, the Golden Gate has kindly owners and simple rooms with mismatched furniture." Full review
Gayot "This 1913 Edwardian hotel near Union Square is full of century-old nostalgia, such as claw-foot tubs, a bird cage elevator and antique furniture."
BlackBook "Hosts John and Renate run the friendliest hotel in town (more of a B&B really): a 4-story 1913 Edwardian charmer that’s bedecked with antiques, wicker and old photographs."
Oyster Budget
"The cozy, family-owned hotel is best suited to adult travelers, couples, and families with older children." Full review
Time Out "This 1913 Edwardian hotel is a real charmer; a little creaky in places, certainly, but generally delightful." Full review

The traffic noise from busy Bush Street isn't as bad as you might expect, but light sleepers should ask for a room in the back.
Travel + Leisure "This boutique hotel offers travelers a much-needed stylish yet affordable alternative to downtown’s old school status quo." Full review
