I really love this hotel -- it's expensive but well worth it. The whole hotel really has a fantastic elegance about it but at the same time it's not stuffy. Very comfortable, great accommodations, fantastic staff, and a very convenient location. Highly recommended. More

The management of this hotel should haved closed during renovations. There is no lobby, it is a construction site. At a minimum, guests should be warned about this inconvenience. I would not have stayed here had I known. I typically stay at the MO when in SF, and I like the location and the views. It needed updating, and I... More

Top-notch service from an exceptionally friendly and well-trained staff make for a perfect experience. Rooms are spacious with obviously phenominal views. I can't believe this hotel is not five-diamond becasue it far exceeds most five-diamond hotels out there. I can't wait to visit again after the renovations are complete. More

As expected the rooms and the service are first class. The lobby area is surprisingly "normal" but I personally don't need a fancy lobby. Downtown location was convenient for my business trip. More

Concierge arranged all our activities and even got us tickets to a sold out showing @ de Young Museum. Good security measures from staff. I came in once after a run but forgot our room number. I was all sweaty at the front desk asking them to check the room # of my card key. They were courteous while at... More

Right now the lobby is a shambles... a couple of people with small desks trying to keep up appearances as you walk through a temporary hallway. It... More

Stayed here for business last year .. mostly because I think the mandarin in HK is one of the best hotels in the world, but I was disappointed by the hotel in SF. First they couldn't find the booking, they didn't try hard to resolve it despite my obviously tiredness following a direct flight from London. I ordered room service... More

This is a strange hotel - the room rates are very expensive, which is fine if you're getting something. The decor is kind of tacky, it might be old. The lobby was undergoing renovations and management didn't set up heaters in the alternate lobby- somehow it was colder inside than outside. The hotel was freezing throughout. Our room was tiny...

We stayed at the Mandarin Oriental, San Francisco for 3 nights and having stayed at Mandarin Oriental's before I had high hopes. This hotel didn't disappoint. We were 2 rooms on the 45th, yes 45th floor. This provided us with stunning views of the city all around us. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful, especially when we went to... More
