Kimpton Alton Hotel, an IHG Hotel

Kimpton Alton Hotel, an IHG Hotel

4.5/544 Reviews
Fisherman's Wharf
We only stayed one night but it was ideal for catching the hop on hop off bus and walking along the piers at Fisherman's Wharf. There was no breakfast served, as there were renovations going on but we found a great cafe nearby which served a great breakfast. We also found a lovely seafood restaurant for our dinner. I thought that it was very expensive for the facilities on offer but we booked it on the advice of our travel agent who had also stayed there and advised that the price was average for an American hotel near to Fisherman's Wharf.

San Francisco Downtown
Lovely hotel, in a great location, good access for the city, comfortable with great communal spaces. The staff are all really friendly and helpful, 2 people of note to mention The guy behind the bar is brilliant, knowledgable, friendly and funny, a real pleasure. There is a (really) young lady on reception/check-in, she is lovely and I don't want to knock her, but she needs more training, her default is to say no to everything, not because she is being difficult, I just don't think she has the knowledge or authority to find solutions. It makes it frustrating for me as the customer and I'm sure, for her, trying to deal with people and not resolving issues. It makes you avoid her and wait for someone else to deal with. The Concierge and Valet Parking staff were brilliant, took away all the thinking on parking and restaurants etc. We would definitely stay here again if in San Fransisco

Fisherman's Wharf
The hotel is in a great location, just minutes away by foot to Fisherman's Wharf. Lombard Street and Chinatown are both accessible by foot, as well as the trendy Russian Hill/Polk St area with many bars and restaurants. There are multiple rental car locations a few minutes walk away as well so that you can drive across the Golden Gate Bridge and go to the Battery Spencer Lookout or continue onwards to Sausalito and Muir Woods. Note that there are two wings of the building and we were placed in the wing separate from the main lobby and dining room, and the steps were not wheelchair accessible. The service and amenities are good, but we had a first floor room facing the street and it was quite noisy at times due to the poor noise isolation where you could hear people talking outside on the street quite clearly. Overall, the location was good and the value was quite high with breakfast being included (it was fine, nothing special).

Fisherman's Wharf
The hotel staff were very accommodating with our request around our travel arrangements. Room was comfortable and spacious even with us as a family of 4- and we had older children in our family - so not small children! Very clean, good resources and equipment in the room. Slight down side was inability to open window due to room location and security as on the urban /street side but the positive is less road noise and the air conditioning worked perfectly on the few occasions we did use it. Smart clean and simple yet functional decor and furnishings. Good outside spaces to relax. Good space downstairs for games placed in situ - such as monopoly etc. Water and ice readily available on each floor. Nice to see efforts towards not using single use plastic. Plenty of access to water and little treats in the reception area. Plenty of coffee in room and accessible coffee downstairs at reception early morning . Staff responsiveness was brilliant- reception and front of house/door service staff . They are very busy but really make an effort to assist you where possible. Friendly and helpful- really great service and friendly response which was so welcoming for tired travellers! And so helpful with our leaving/check out arrangements and luggage storeage.

The hotel is in a very good location, with all attractions within walking distance. The hotel has the quietest air conditioning noise among the hotels I have stayed in in the United States.

More about San Francisco

San Francisco: A Fusion of Culture and Innovation

Perched on the tip of a peninsula in the U.S. state of California, San Francisco is a vibrant city celebrated for its iconic landmarks, diverse neighborhoods, and innovative spirit. Did you know that San Francisco is the birthplace of the United Nations and the Fortune Cookie? The city's multi-faceted history and vibrant ambiance make it a must-visit destination.

Journey to San Francisco

San Francisco International Airport serves as the main gateway for international visitors. Various transportation modes, including taxis, shuttles, and the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), connect the airport to the city. Visa requirements depend on your nationality, so it's crucial to check ahead.

The official currency is the U.S. Dollar, and credit cards are widely accepted. English is the main language, but San Francisco's diversity means you'll hear a myriad of languages. An interesting tradition in the city is the "Sunday's Streets" events where neighborhoods transform into car-free spaces for community activities.

Iconic Attractions in San Francisco

The Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and Fisherman's Wharf are quintessential San Francisco sights. Explore the culturally-rich Chinatown, or wander around the colorful Victorian homes in Haight-Ashbury. Art enthusiasts should visit the Museum of Modern Art, while nature lovers can relax in Golden Gate Park.

San Francisco's Climate and the Ideal Time to Visit

San Francisco experiences a Mediterranean climate with cool, damp winters and dry summers. The city is known for its microclimates, so temperatures can vary across neighborhoods. Typical summer temperatures range between 57°F (14°C) and 70°F (21°C). The best time to visit is from September to November. Carry layers, as San Francisco's famous fog can cause sudden temperature drops.

San Francisco Accommodation: Find Your Perfect Stay

For proximity to attractions, Hotel Zephyr at Fisherman’s Wharf is an excellent choice. If culinary exploration is a priority, Hotel Nikko in the Tenderloin district is surrounded by diverse dining options.

The HI San Francisco Downtown Hostel is a budget-friendly choice, while business travelers may opt for the Four Seasons Hotel in the Financial District for comfort and convenience. The trendy Proper Hotel offers Instagrammable interiors, and for an airport-adjacent stay, Grand Hyatt at SFO is recommended.
