My husband and I are frequent travellers and always select our hotels with great care. We picked the Donatello, because of the great price (booking.com) and location. We actually stayed in a Club Donatello room. Club Donatello was listed as a separate hotel and the rooms were much cheaper than the rooms listed for the Donatello hotel itself but these... More

a block from union square. Clean, nicely decorated room, with great roof garden for having a coffee or tea in the afternoon. I highly recommend it - will definitely repeat it as our San Fransisco hotel. More

A great place to stay. Our King room was spacious and clean. The staff was always helpful. It is close to Union Square and the cable car line as well as other transit options. Rates were very reasonable and provided great value. There are many options for breakfast, lunch and dinner very close by. We will be back for sure! More

We went with another couple and had a great time. Great location with trolley access and went to the Warf several times. I got to see a ball game at ATT Park and went to some of the local Irish pubs...lots of fun except my Dodgers lost. I thought the rooms were nice and clean...and trust me for my wife... More

Every year at Christmas time my family tries to spend at least a weekend in San Francisco. The last two years we have stayed at the Donatello and it has become part of our family tradition. It is a combination of old world charm and modern conveniences. The location is ideal, within walking distance of charming restaurants, really rowdy bars... More

This stay was at the end of our 3 and a half week holiday in the US, great way to finish our holiday. The Hotel staff were outstanding, extremely helpful in all areas. They made you feel welcome, which was lovely. Our room was on the 5th floor and faced the Marriott, we had no issues with noise. All facets... More

This hotel is between 3.5-4.0. The location is amazing - Union Square is great and close to everything. I got a room away from the street and could barely hear the street even with the window open. The hotel was very quiet too - I couldn't hear the neighbors at all, the occasional hallway noise was tolerable. The rooms are... More

Being one block down from Union Square is just fabulous. Cable cars, fabulous restaurants and Irish bars within easy walking distance, shopping at hand and good courteous staff too. Not to mention the room exceeded our expectations in San Fran. Large, with all the amenities (including fridge and sink) and aircon. We stayed here the last few days of our... More

Sorry for late review but... We stayed at the Donatello in Sept/11. The location is great. Very close to Union Square, the Cable Cars,HOP-on buses and the Munni. An easy walk to some very good shopping and places to eat. We found all the staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Room: very clean good King bed. We got a room... More
