Top Chinatown Hotel Reviews

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"The room overall is okay, while bedding feels a bit damp and mattress is on the soft end."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"The property is nice. The building are spread out so if your room happens to be in building 4 or 5, you have to walk a lot. The staff should tell you to take the outside way since its much shorter than going through each building from inside. Instead of cookies, a warm cup or tea or coffee will be nice."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

4/10 Poor

"The hotel resembles a cheap hostel with tiny dated rooms and bathrooms. Everything is run down. The carpet in my room was disgusting and dirty with mystery stains. The room was cramped. The bathroom hasn’t been updated in decades. The shower felt like a dorm room shower. The photos online made everything look much better than reality. I will say that the staff was friendly. The location was good, too. Everything else was like a cheap two star hotel, not a four star hotel. All of this for the price of a four star hotel. I would not recommend this hotel."

Grant Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for anyone wanting to visit Chinatown. Well maintained older building. Staff is great with helpful information about local eats and more modest local eateries. Had to check out earlier than expected but cancelation of my reservation was no problem and refunded the balance with no problems. Can't say enough about how good my stay was."
