My friends got married here, and while it was a beautiful venue, stunning really, the hotel part was nothing short of awful. I've stayed at other Nob Hill hotels, such as the Mark Hopkins, and The University Club is not even close to being in the same league. Here is a bulleted list of the issues: -Noise! There were several... More

I like using private clubs when I can. They are friendlier that hotels, often have unusual services and distinctive decors. The University Club is no exception. Very pleasant room. Nice Continental Breakfast. Very decent price for Nob Hill. Parking is either across the street for a fortune of around the corner. Bring your squash gear, the pro will happily arrange... More

It was my first stay at the University Club on Nob Hill, for two nights in March. I was a bit skeptical as I have overnighted from time to time in the University Club system which can be a poor experience. However, what a pleasant surprize! The rooms had been recently updated and had nice amenities, even for a historical... More

If you want a fancy hotel room to while away your time in - this is not the place. If you want a decent and clean hotel room in the best possible location in San Francisco - you'll love this place. Yes - the building exudes all of the charm that only a 100 year old building can - but... More

My wife and I are members of the Yale Club in New York City, a wonderful facility. On a recent business trip to San Franciso we decided to try another university club lodging experience and booked a room at the University Club of San Francisco on Nob Hill. We quickly learned that not all university clubs are created equal. On... More

Located on Nob Hill across the street from the Fairmont Hotel, the club is nicely furnished with a beautiful library and outside balcony overlooking the bay. Although there are only about 20 rooms, it was a thrill to stay in this... More
