I adore Hotel Vitale! I received an upgrade to an Urban View Room during my most recent stay which includes a huge soaking tub. I was in room 730 which was right across from one of the suites where they have meetings and events. There was an event one evening in the room that went until 8pm and was a... More

Pros -- Nice decor -- Nice amenities -- Great location for public transportation access (not a fun location though) -- Overall clean and well kept Cons -- So loud. It's 3 a.m, and I am writing this review from my hotel room. I've been here 6 nights, and I haven't gotten a decent night's sleep for six nights. I would... More

Stayed here May 2012. In a good location at the Bay Front with views of the Bay Bridge at the foot of the financial district overlooking the Embarcadero. We had requested a Superior Room with a Water View and were pleased to have been told that we were upgraded at check-in. Thank heavens we were, the room whilst large and... More

Comfortable, great location. Many excellent restaurants within walking distance. Love having the Embarcadero at your doorstep and the Ferry Building blocks away. Quieter than the area around Union Square and easy access to other neighborhoods if you're exploring. A few minor irritations, no paper a few days although I'd requested one, no water one evening after several days receiving it,... More

I've stayed at this property several times and I have enjoyed my stay. The location is perfect, close to BART and the Embarcadero and if you choose a room with a view, it's quite nice. The room could not have been nicer, view of the Embarcadero and the Bay Bridge. Amazing bathroom, great amenities. Points to consider: when I checked... More

This is my second stay at the hotel and I was not disappointed. Consistently well run with excellent staff and cleanliness! Love the location near the Ferry building and the views of the Oakland Bridge and Treasure Island not to mention all of the sail boats is great. Had a room on a high floor but wish they had informed... More

Took my little dog here on a staycation while work was done on the house. What a lovely experience! The entire staff was very welcoming and attentive. We had just paid online through 'Hotels Tonight' and got a good deal, within an hour of our arrival. While reception worked on bringing the reservation into their system, I was invited to... More

Stayed here for 4 days during a work conference. On arrival I had some problems checking in which caused a delay and need not have happened, for this reason only I cannot give a 5/5 rating.
