Being in san francisco for a congres the Hilton Union Square has a very good location. The hotel has three towers and is very big, so it laks a bit intimacy. The rooms and corridors are ok but look a little bit (too) old. Several times the escalator was not working well. The restaurant downstairs is small and does not... More

I had a great pleasant stay but if you want a quiet boutique hotel this place not for you! Lobby is always super busy and lots of conventions going on at all times. I booked last minute so there were too options but was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. The view we had from our room was incredible! I could... More

This hotel is ideally located for visitors. Minutes walk from most amenities. Staff very helpful.We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel. Plenty of restaurants within 5 minutes walk and main shopping areas within 5-10 minutes walk.

Although the Hilton San Francisco Union Square is in a great location and has a great view of the city, the rooms and service were not what I would expect from Hilton for the following reasons: 1. Shower water was cold unless I used the ADA shower head. 2. Bell staff stood around behind the check-in desk instead of opening... More

The staff were pretty robotic and bored and not all that welcoming. There was no wi-fi in the old tired rooms. We were also forbidden from using the fridge as it had been locked!! At night time, things got tense and scary with some pretty dubious locals. One tip, DO NOT TURN LEFT when exiting the building, especially at night.... More

Stayed here for a convention (as it appears so do millions of other people). The hotel is huge, but easy to navigate. As a diamond member got upgraded in Tower 3 and had a very nice room and was provided continental breakfast every day in the dining room. You can also use this for the Starbucks if you wish. The...

This was the second time I stayed at Hilton San Francisco. The first was in 2008 during a conference and 5 years later I returned to the property. Same quality, great service, good value. The hotel is close to public transportation and it is very easy to move around the city (be careful, however, to Tenderloin, just a couple of... More

My wife is very sensitive to allergens. Our room was impeccably clean and she had no troubles whatsoever. I've stayed here before on business because it is walking distance from Moscone and the BART & Caltrain stations, so I don't have to rent a car.

This hotel is just perfect. Nice, remodeled rooms. Awesome, friendly staff. Operation seems seemless . The lemon drop at the bar was yummy and the hot breakfast buffet is worth the price. The only negative is the parking price of almost $60 per night, but that is the going rate in SF.
