Elegant, yet modern. Incredible location right in the heart of Union Square. You couldn't get a better location. It is among the best of shopping, restaurants, and more. The hotel is historical (my preference), yet the rooms very modern. I love, love this hotel. Ask for the quiet side of the hotel. This would be away from the side facing... More

Obvious not a new property but superior service and optimal location make up for the very few minor inconveniences. The room was immaculate and cleaned perfectly and quickly every one of our five days. The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful in all ways, We are good users of public transportation and the proximity to BART and MUNI at the... More

Staff very friendly, helpful and polite, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was fantastic, really good size and an excellent sized bathroom. Our room was cleaned/tided everyday during our three night stay and the bed was huge and super comfy!

Trust me, this is the area you want to be in! only a moment's walk away from Union Square and situated around the shopping district. (Macy's, Saks, Prada...etc) Not saying that these are the stores I shop at, but to be in this area is so much better than other areas and once you see that you'll know why. The... More

I stayed at Kensington for 5 nights in April in room 76, on the 11th floor. This is definitely the room to get if you want less noise and an amazing view of the city. The bathroom and shower was of decent size, and the king size bed was extremely comfortable. The closet was a nice size as well. And... More

Starting with the good points, this hotel couldn't be in a better spot. Sitting on Post St right next to Union Square it was close to the BART and right in amongst all the best shops, galleries and restaurants that SanFrancisco has to offer. Staff were excellent, very freindly and very clean. I have read the other reviews and I... More
