The hotel

When you're looking to wander around Fisherman's Wharf trying out the various dining options, enjoy the entertainment on Pier 39, and wander through the shops on Ghirardelli Square - well you couldn't pick a better location for your hotel than the Kimpton Alton. Just a stones thorugh from all of the above, you're also only about 15 minutes walk from San Francisco Bay where you can take the ferry to Alcatraz. Back at the hotel the rooms offer very comfy beds, and cosy vibes that will allow you to relax after a day exploring Golden Gate City. Even better, they offer complimentary tea and coffee to kick start your day, and a complimentary wine and beer hour to wind down at the end of it! Couple that with the option of in-room spa treatments and you really will feel relaxed on this city break. The service on hand at this hotel is indeed top notch - there's even complimentary scooters on hand to use for the little ones to roam the city!

Nice hotel very conveniently located for the main tourist attractions of San Francisco. About 5 minutes walk to Fisherman’s Wharf. Hotel amenities are good but I am not totally happy with the daily charge on top of the room charge for so called amenities. There are free drinks between 5 & 6 (beer, wine & soft drinks) but I’m not sure what else you get for the fee. Was busy during our stay. Didn’t use the restaurant. There are a few homeless people in the area but they didn’t cause any problems. Read less

Had a lovely stay at the hotel, everyone was happy to assist with all my questions and concerns. My husband and I were there for a Mexican cruise and had a quick stop over in San Francisco.
