We stayed at the Donatello for 2 nights and we were very pleased with the friendly and informative staff, great spacious room and wonderful location. On the club floor there is coffee, tea and comfortable seating to relax. It was a wonderful perk and a great way to start our day. more

We stay here because the hotel delivers the most spacious and updated rooms for the price. Most hotels in SF (even the recently remodeled ones) are older w/ really small rooms. Yes, you're here to see the city, not the room, but a little extra space is always a good thing. Plus there's the minifrig, micro, champagne glasses, etc. to... more

From the moment we arrived the staff were helpful and willing to answer any questions. We were delighted at being able to get into our room early. The room was compact but well equipped and very comfortable. The access to a lounge with complimentary warm beverages and an alternative place to sit and read/talk etc was brilliant. Located just one... more

We have stayed at the Donatello many times. The first was when we got engaged back in 1988! The staff is always great and seem to love their jobs. Rooms are comfortable, clean and have a frig, micro and sink that makes snacking easy. The hotel is a real bargain considering the quality of the rooms and staff and the... more

The Donatello is located in a great part of San Francisco, very close to Union Square, the cable cars, and China Town. A great deal of energy flows through this area, as well as the accompanying noise. So think of yourself as being part of a daily performance art exhibit including laughing, yelling people, honks, bus brakes and bums. It's... more

There were 21 family members from Hawaii attending my son's wedding in San Fran and we had a very enjoyable stay at the Donatello Hotel. The entire staff were very friendly and helpful. The Front Desk & Bell men greeted us every morning as we were on our way to enjoy the city and told us to have a nice... more

We had a four night stay and were quite satisfied. The location is great; we walk when we travel, and we walked all over San Francisco from this hotel. It is only a 6 block walk from the BART stop for easy access to/from SFO. The pillows were a tad on the large/hard side, but other than that our stay... more

I stayed at the Donatello for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. The location in Union Square is great, and the property is fantstic. Upon checking in, I noticed my cell phone had run down its charge and realized I forgot to pack the charger--sure enough the front desk had a spare and gave me free use for the few days... more

After reading all the very positive reviews, we expected a little more of this hotel. All in all it is average, however the location could not be any better. more
