I've stayed at the Serrano before and now that i've been back i recall why i didn't like this kimpton. The rooms are bit small and furniture is awkward. Every corner and i mean every corner of each piece of furniture was banged up and splintered from rubbing and crashing into something. The bathroom was tiny with no counter space... More

Nice change from mainline hotels with easy access to Union Square and SOMA districts. The room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. We had a corner room on the 16th floor with views up to Nob Hill and good separation from adjacent high rises. Lobby was a little time worn, but still cozy. Breakfast in the adjacent... More

I'm a Kimpton snob. I admit it. And this hotel does not meet the standards of the Kimpton Monaco or Palomar. Not even close. The front desk staff did absolutely everything right, including moving us from a room so small we could barely move around the bed to a junior suite at no extra cost. So, I don't have any... More

I had a horrible experience at this hotel. The main problem I experienced at this hotel was with one particular member of staff: Stepan the concierge. During my second day at the hotel, I approached Stepan to request basic directions to the nearest 'Best Buy'. At first, he completed ignored my request. After a few minutes, I asked him again...

We had a great stay at the Serrano Hotel. We were given a corner room on the 15th floor which was great - it was quiet, clean and comfortable. We had a comfortable bed, a good sized TV with a lot of channels, a safe (which is always appreciated for keeping valuables), and ipod dock which is always nice to... More

Nice room on a hiigher (16th) floor, with 2 double-beds (requested). All room facilities as-advertised. Clean, properly equipped room and bathroom, with proper light-tight curtains. Some nice touches (for a 3*), like bath-robes and conditioner/body-cream. If there is anything, then noise-insulation is perhaps not as good as it could be, but this is in-line with construction standards in most north-American... More

I had a great experience at this hotel. We booked it through a third party. My husband called prior to our trip and let them know we were staying there for our anniversary. Without asking for it, they upgraded our room to a suite and we had a bottle of wine and two cupcakes from Cako waiting for us! It... More

Although this hotel is quite close to some of the grittier blocks in SF I still had a great stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the restaurant attached to the hotel, Jasper's, serve some really good burgers.

Loved this hotel! Absolutely gorgeous lobby. Lorretta Forever checked us in, and being from New Orleans, she had such sparkle with an attitude of Southern Hospitality. This is a great example of a fine Kimpton hotel. The customer service is always impeccable, and the hotels are all maintained beautifully. The finest example of boutique done right! Loved it!
