Our four days here were wonderful! Rooms were very nice and very attractive. loved having a refrigerator in the room, too. The location was great, and the people at the front deck were very helpful. I would definitely stay here again!!

Kimpton did quite a good service recovery after I mentioned on departing the Argonaut to transfer to Palomar that I had not been a fan of the street level accommodation at the former. By the time I arrived at the sister hotel a room on one of the highest floors had been organised for me which was apparently not what... More

My company had me stay at different places all over San Francisco this past month and I had the best last. Hotel Palomar had by far the best staff and cleanliness of all. Anytime I asked a question I got immediate assistance. So thankful that I ended up here as it was convenient to everything. Adam was the best!

The staff was extremely helpful for us, who being from SC didn't know our way around. Every day was a new adventure. They were happy to give excellent restaurant choices, public transportation advice and car rental arrangements for day trip excursions. The location of the hotel is very convenient and their breakfast and coffee service every morning is wonderful. Very... More

Where to begin, the Palomar San Francisco is amazing. From the moment we arrived we were made welcome. The door man on arrival was Justin, he answered every question we had and informed us of places to visit right down to the coffee shop we so desperately needed. Our next door man, Richard was also a wealth of knowledge and... More

The is a great hotel. It is in an excellent position right in the centre of town and just near Union Square but the element that sets it apart is the staff and personal attention. These days many hotels do not take the time for personal attention but you are just another number. At the Palomar the staff all take... More

Stayed at Hotel Palomar in San Francisco for a bachelorette party - one of the rooms for our group was a standard size double while the second was an accessible room. The difference was the space. The accessible room had a larger bathroom and floor space that could easily accommodate a roll away bed. I peeked my head in a... More

Positives: central, very close to Caltrain and BART stations and cable car, large rooms, free wine reception Negatives: looks a bit tired and quite dark, some very odd touches like socks instead of slippers in the room, very noisy minibar. Also make sure you don't walk west from the hotel - the area is full of homeless/crazy people.
