We loved this boutique hotel! The place is just lovely, we enjoyed the quiet sitting room. The staff were generous with their time and provided prompt assistance. Wine and appetizers were lovely as is the complimentary breakfast and the location is close to parks and a lovely shopping area. We won't look for another San Francisco hotel-this is our place.

The Drisco was a great hotel for us. We were looking for a quiet, comfortable hotel that cares about the quality of life it provides for guests. The entire staff was kind and accommodating, the breakfast was copious and yummy. This is not a party hotel placing emphasis on design over service--rather it is a beautiful historic gem that is...

I love this place-very charming- it felt almost like a bed and breakfast. Most friendly and helpful staff I have ever come across. They made you feel right at home. Loved the wine and cheese in the evening and the breakfast in the morning was perfect. I also loved the slippers:) I will be staying here again next time I... More

I would live at the Hotel Drisco if I could! The staff, the ambience, the yummy breakfast, the lovely wine and cheese in the evening were all superb. I highly recommend this hotel!

We stayed over a long weekend in San Francisco, and wanted to stay out of the traditional hotel areas. The residential location in Pacific Heights is really convenient for heading out to the Presidio, Marin County, the Marina and surprisingly, most anywhere else in the City. The hotel is older, but beautifully appointed and charmingly friendly and well-managed. The room... More

The hotel Drisco is a delightful treat for a visit in San Francisco. The historic building is atop the hills around the Presidio with gorgeous views. Can't say enough about the entire staff at the hotel--all were genuinely kind and very helpful. Excellent wine and cheese in the evening and a fabulous breakfast every morning. Can't wait to return!

Attractive 'historic' hotel close to the Presidio. Rooms beautifully furnished with antiques, spacious and comfortable. No bar or restaurant but nice touch with the cheese and wine every evening. Great breakfast in the morning.

Loved this hotel! Only reason I gave a 4 star rating instead of 5 stars is because I personally found the bed to be quite hard for my liking. My husband had no complaints about it, which is odd considering that he hates a hard bed and I prefer them! But this was a bit much, even for me. I... More

We can't compliment Hotel Drisco enough. They have "attention to detail" down to a science from the hot towels upon arrival to the cookies and water bottles they leave every night for turn down service. The included breakfast is fabulous and abundant. My husband loved the wine and cheese hour so much that he made sure we were back to... More

We just returned from a one night stay at the Hotel Drisco and it was wonderful. This was our second stay. Not sure if I reviewed the first one, but it would have been the same review as this one.
