I have often stayed at this hotel. I really like to central location as well as the property. It has an cool vibe to it and the staff has always been so nice and accomodating. Being a frequent guest the hotel staff have become familiar with me and always give me a warm greeting on my return. I usually opt... More

Stayed here for three nights, on a solo trip to run the Bay To Breakers race. This is a Morgans hotel property, so trendy decor is a given, and that is indeed what awaits in the lobby. The doormen are attentive. The lobby is dark, as others have mentioned, with a fireplace and wood paneling and oversized furniture. (Like everyone... More

We had very beautiful weather in the city, sunny skies for the 101st Bay to Breakers race. The hotel lobby is so dark that is takes a while to get your eyes adjusted. Once you do, you will see a very hip and chic space. The superior room was a good size but the bathroom and closet are a bit... More

Just spent a wonderful 5 nights here. From checking in to checking out every member of staff we spoke to was first class. We were lucky enough to get an upgraded room on the 13th floor and it certainly met all our needs and made for an extremely comfortable stay. Location was also great with easy acces to public transport... More

We booked this hotel for the end of our holiday to CA Arizona and Nevada, it was our travel agents recommendation. We had booked a superior room because we wanted to relax after our travels. I was shocked to see how small the room was We had to go in the bathroom almost climb over the WC to close the... More

we spent a couple of days my husband and I and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel itself is well placed not far from the main attractions. The deco is great, loved the way it was decorated, looked very sleek and chic. The room is not big but clean and quite. The service was not amazing, but warm enough, specially... More

The service and attentiveness of the staff set this hotel apart. It is a modern hotel with business like rooms; very clean, quiet and comfortable. The location was great: close to restaurants, shops, transport. I agree with other reviewers who have commented that it is a rip-off that the hotel charges for internet WiFi connection -- this charge was waived... More

Clift is a lovely hotel. Rooms are very nice and modern and all staff really friendly. The bar is not only a good place to grab a drink but has amazing decor. Would come back and stay again.

Every hotel survives by taking your money. The hotels that manage to make you forget this fact, are the ones where you feel welcome, where you feel at home. This is not one of those hotels. In this day and age there is just no excuse for charging 15 dollars a day for internet connection. Really. But hey, feel you... More
