We booked the Triton for its location and always fabulous Kimpton service, and it did not disappoint. We were able to walk to Chinatown, the Financial District, Union Square, Hayes Valley and Little Italy with no problem. We were in the Jerry Garcia suite, which is a fabulous large room with a good sized bathroom, although the bathroom showed its... More

Arrived very late (11.30 pm) after a long delay on Amtrak from Chicago, but hotel reception greeted us warmly. Being very tired we had a slight altercation with the window blind (brain had shut down!) but this was quickly remedied by a cheerful member of housekeeping. Large and spotlessly clean room, "quirky" decor, quality toiletries. Although on a main thoroughfare,... More

The Triton in my opinion is not a hotel where you come for room service or spa services, but its location is what's key. I always stay at the Triton on my trips to San Francisco because it is a small hotel, not pretentious and it is close to shops, Chinatown, bus lines, BART (if you go to East Bay)... More

Oversell and under-deliver are the two words for this frankly appalling hotel. After reading the reviews, and staying at some other great Kimpton hotels in the past, we had high expectations for the Triton, especially due to its good location. However, in reality it couldn't have been more disappointing. We booked a package that included either cocktails or breakfast, expecting... More

Being a Kimoton property, I think I expected a little more from this hotel. First of all, the pluses... Fantastic location, funky decor I love, nice wine hour and entertainment in the evenings. On to the minuses- Shabby rooms, chipped paint, cracked fixtures and awful window unit A/C. That would be easy to overlook if I had not encountered terrible... More

This hotel is really excellent - it has a superb location, friendly, helpful staff, stylish, quirky rooms and wine hour every night! I was there on a trip that was mostly for work and the internet was fast, efficient and free. My room was quiet and comfortable, and nothing seemed too much trouble for the helpful and well-informed staff, who... More

I love staying at Kimpton Hotels! Every single one has fantastic service, clean rooms, funky decor and great amenities. This one is San Francisco is no different. It sits right at the entrance to Chinatown and is just a few blocks from Union Square. We stayed here for a Girls Weekend. The price was very reasonable for a downtown hotel... More

We absolutely adore Kimpton hotels for their excellent customer service and artsy style, and the Hotel Triton does not disappoint! The lobby is just stunning and is a wonderful place to enjoy coffee in the morning and wine in the evenings - there's a great fireplace that's really handy for chilly San Francisco evenings. The rooms and bathroom are small,... More

....it's no 4 star. 3 - yes. The hotel is in a great location and the staff is very nice. They have a great free wine get together in the lobby daily. However, the hotel is tired and needs a make over. The rooms are very small and have these loud window air conditioners. If you want to sleep you... More
