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.

Excellent value for a great location. Room was clean and very spacious. Front desk were accommodating and helpful with a quick check-in and check-out. Breakfast had a good selection of different options and had no complaints. Overall would happily rebook and stay here again!
The Wharf Inn
3.6/5103 Reviews
Fisherman's Wharf
Reserved here for 10 days July 26 2022. We thought the place might be OK at ~$200/night. There were remarkable problems. 1) ”Free” parking meant, ”don't use your car or you may come back to a full lot”. 2) There were NO drawers. I am serious. nothing under the TV, no side tables, and nothing in the closet. I have never stayed in a place with no drawers! 3) Did I say no side tables? There were little wooden ”flappers” nailed into the bedstead on each side maybe to place a drink. And one of them was cracked so we had to use a suitcase as a night stand. 4) Three hangers in the closet, and the closet door alternated as a bathroom door depending on your needs. So this place is right on the wharf, location-location, but it sucks. We managed to get out of our reserves for only one extra night penalty and move several blocks away to a Travelodge (Lombard St) which was the same price with none of these problems. Please stay away from the Wharf Inn and enjoy your stay.
Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
4.5/557 Reviews
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).
Courtyard by Marriott Fishermans Wharf
4.5/5120 Reviews
Fisherman's Wharf
You're a tourist, yes? Then you're at the right place. Close to all the tourist stuff but not TOO close. Cable car depot a short walk away (buy your tickets on the MUNI app and save a lot of $$$). Car rental next to the hotel. And the prices aren't too bad by San Francisco standards. Somehow/someway we managed to get one of the few rooms with an enclosed porch. For me this is essential when traveling with kids.
San Francisco Marriott Fisherman's Wharf

Fisherman's Wharf
The location is very convenient, very close to Fisherman's Wharf, two blocks from Trader joe. The staff are professional and friendly. Also very neat and quiet. Although there are not many types of breakfast, they are all quite delicious.

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.
