Riu Plaza Fishermans Wharf

Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco

Virgin rating

The hotel

Just a pleasant stroll from the shops and entertainment at Pier 39, and the ferry to Alcatraz, the Riu Plaza Fisherman’s Wharf makes a stellar base to explore from. The hotel’s relaxed and friendly vibe is ideal after a day’s dim sum dining, cable car riding and selfie snapping. Your room is suitably airy and comfortable, you can kick back on the sun terrace by the outdoor heated pool, and, perhaps our favourite part, you can hangout by a crackling fire pit in the outdoor living area.

Great central location for various activities. Lovely staff and hotel clean. Pool area also clean. Gym area was clean and tidy. Bar area which was open daily although maybe a little earlier would be better it was fine. Breakfast was great with a lot of choice.

Great central location for various activities. Lovely staff and hotel clean. Pool area also clean. Gym area was clean and tidy. Bar area which was open daily although maybe a little earlier would be better it was fine. Breakfast was great with a lot of choice. It does get busy at times but there are notices in the lifts advising of busy periods and they do still get you seated quickly. Would be good if there were options for meals on an evening however there is a lot of choice just a few mins walk or drive from hotel. It is a little tired in places but overall lovely hotel Read less

Check in could have been more friendly. Room was great, Housekeeping service was excellent. Comfy bed with nice pillows. Soundproofing could be better. Should have a better way to manage the breakfast queue. Overall a decent Hotel with perfect location.

I was greeted by polite, friendly staff. Our ship arrived in port early so they checked our luggage in early so we could go site seeing. The hotel is only one block from the Wharf! The complimentary breakfast was delicious with a large variety of food options.
