Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and convenience. While the rooms were cozy and well-equipped with all the essentials for a quick meal and coffee, the sofa bed took up too much space in one of the rooms. The location was a bit rough in some areas but great for walking to Union Square. The service was efficient, but some staff could benefit from better training. The dining options were limited but the facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at Club Donatello was a mix of spacious comfort and pushy sales tactics. The room I stayed in was extremely spacious and comfortable, with an extra seating area, perfect for hosting guests. On the downside, the pushy breakfast offer left a negative impression.
The hotel had lovely, very comfortable rooms with all the necessary amenities close to everywhere I needed to go. The service was awesome, very efficient and friendly. The location was super convenient, close to shopping, transportation, and Chinatown. The dining was cheap and cheerful, offering a variety of handmade pasta options. The facilities were great for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were fresh, clean, and wonderfully presented, equipped with a coffee maker and even a TV in the bathroom. The staff were super friendly and helpful, ensuring a lovely experience. The location was great, convenient to many shopping and sightseeing areas. However, the dining options were limited and could be improved.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, although the proximity to noisy compressors on the roof was a bit of a downside. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially with helping the elderly guests. The location was superb, just a few minutes' walk from Union Square, making sightseeing a breeze. The dining options were decent, offering fresh seasonal fruits, but not particularly outstanding. The facilities overall were satisfactory.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a microwave and fridge, making it super convenient. While it was quiet and comfortable, overlooking a famous night club on New Year's Eve added some excitement. The sofa bed and king bed were a perfect setup for our group of 4 guests. The service was top-notch, especially with the bonus of lounge access. The location couldn't have been better, just a block away from Union Square, making it perfect for exploring the city. The dining experience, although complimentary, was a bit lacking with no breakfast provided. Overall, the hotel offered great value for money with all the amenities one could need for a fantastic urban getaway.
The hotel was nice and big, with well-layed out and comfortable rooms. It was a bit noisy both from inside the hotel and outside. The service was friendly and fantastic, making us feel like we never want to stay anywhere else in San Francisco. The location was great for exploring nearby restaurants, shopping malls, and SF attractions. The dining experience turned out to be like a time-share travel presentation, and the fitness center was under-equipped. Despite these flaws, I would stay at the Donatello again.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a small kitchenette, great service overall despite occasional upselling attempts, a location near Union Square with easy access to local hot spots, and dining experiences aimed at promoting additional services.
