I absolutely love this place. I love it so much that I live in San Francisco (about 10 minutes away) and paid to stay here for my staycation with my partner! The staff, location (lots of walkable restaurants, etc.), perks (Kabuki Spa!), are awesome. We were upgraded to their corner king suite where we had our own sauna and an... More

We live in the Bay Area but planned to stay overnight in San Francisco since we were going to have a late evening on Saturday. Hotel Kabuki was located close to the venue that we were going to and it is located to many shops and restaurants in Japantown. All were within walking distance. The hotel allowed dogs to stay...

From the moment you give your keys to the valet,(I caution you it isn't cheap $40. Plus a night. But this is SF.) you enter another world. Gaze at the garden beyond the checking desk. Your room is well appointed and immaculate. Try a traditional Japanese bath complete with stool and wooden bucket. The view from the 15th floor was... More

A huge room for a very reasonable price adjacent to the Japan Center (great restaurants) and walking distance from Filmore Street shopping. If you like to hike, take Filmore up the hill and down again to Union Street, and back. It's a short bus ride to downtown or BART. The staff is exemplary. We definitely will stay there on our...

We had one night back in San Francisco after a road trip so plumped for something a little different here at the Kabuki and were not disappointed by a Corner King room on a high floor (14th?). We liked the traditional style decor with rice paper sliding window shutters, chez longue, big old bed, traditional style bedroom etc. Great view... More

We always stay here when in SF - especially if we are going to deYoung or Legion of Honor - pricing is much more reasonable than near Union Square, fairly quiet area, beautiful gardens & love the Japanese tub! The balconies are not that much to write home about, and unless you think you will spend a lot of time... More

The staff and the decor are just wonderful. Freddy, the bellman greeted us warmly and was a great source of information and help to a couple of SF newbies. The desk manager was just as helpful. We had a corner king which was large, comfortable and very nicely decorated. While not on the trolley line, it didn't seem too far... More

I love stay in the Hotel kabuki. It's pet friendly and great value for the price of a decent size room in San Francisco. The location is fabulous, it located next to a Japanese mall with many many restaurants, simple go down stairs you are in there. Also lots shopping, book stores, home goods and Japanese dollar store around. Almost... More

We stayed at the Kabuki one week at the end of April. The reviews for this hotel and the description of the hotel website prompted our decision to stay there. Unfortunately we were quite disappointed as we booked a " luxurious king with wrap around balconies" . There are no balconies to speak of, only a very narrow,at most a... More

My wife and I stayed for one night. I found the room online and the rate was very reasonable for Mother's Day weekend. Check-in was smooth and the bell and desk staff were accommodating, polite, and informative. The room was clean with all of the appropriate amenities. The only negative is that the bathroom doors were not solid. They were... More
