I spent 9 comfortable days at the Donatello while my partner was in SF at a conference, and found the rooms spacious and comfortable. They look somewhat dated, but one warms to that, and the convenience of having the space and a fridge and kitchen area is appreciated. Breakfast was limited but pleasant, not least for the opportunity to chat... more

I have stayed at the Donatello many times in the last several years. I am always impressed by the courtesy of the staff, the impeccable cleanliness of the rooms and the fabulous location (right near union square). The rooms are very large (approx. 425 sq. feet I believe) and they have nice amenities (microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker, sink and dishes).... more

The Donatello for the most part met my expectations during my five night stay. After researching sites like Trip Advisor and finding an excellent rate at this hotel, I decided to give the Donatello a try. The rooms were quite large with ample space to spread out. The queen-sized bed was comfortable. I was fortunate enough to get a corner... more

I stayed at this hotel for only one night, but wish I could have stayed longer. The value for the price is excellent. I traveled with my husband and my brother and the room was spacious enough to accommodate all three of us. The location could not have been better, a short walk to Union Square and the cable car... more

The Donatello was a great place to stay! The rooms were very clean and were very spacious! We had great service from the concierge, Carlos, he was great! The bed was really comfortable and we had no street noise in our room! And the location was excellent. The trolley stop is only 1 block away and it gets you right... more

The room was huge, lots of storage space, very neat and clean. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the hotel was, perfect location, easy in and out. The concierge was very helpful, she made reservations for us for dinner and for some of the attactions, no additional fees. The happy hour was always the perfect way to the end... more

We had a great stay at the Donatello. The concierge was most helpful, the room was clean and more than adequate. It is easy to get to tourist sites, financial centers, Union Square and public transit from the location. more
