My husband and I recently stayed at the Hotel Drisco for 2 nights (in May 2013). I travel often for business and I do not remember the last time I liked a hotel so much. The entire staff goes out of their way to help you. Every evening, there is wine, cheese, and fruit, and a wonderful sommelier. The breakfast... More

Great place! Really nice luxury small hotel. All the details are covered. Comfortable bed, clean, great service, really nice breakfast. I would highly recommend staying here. The area is quiet but close to walk restaurants and shopping.

As a family, we have stayed at the Drisco several times over many years, and it has never failed to disappoint. Even after a gap of around 3 years, Marti at the front desk still recognised us and greeted us like family. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful, always willing to recommend local restaurants and help with travel arrangements.... More

Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful. Rooms were impeccably clean, service was everything one could want, which made our San Francisco weekend a delight. Great location, I can't say enough good things about Hotel Drisco.

We stayed 4 nights in late April 2013 at the Hotel Drisco on the recommendation of friends. It's location in Pacific Heights is a wonderful exclusive neighbourhood, close enough to lots of restaurants and shopping but a real neighbourhood. It was a very pleasant change from the usual downtown spots we have always stayed on previous trips. What sets this... More

We stayed here over New Year 2012/13 and chose the Drisco partly on the basis of great reviews, however if you are looking for a hotel in the conventional sense you may be disappointed, as we were. It is a "bed and breakfast" type establishment but not a hotel where there is a proper kitchen. Therefore the Drisco is a... More

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. As you can see, we have received very few Trip Advisor reviews under five stars, so I am of course disappointed that you have chosen to bestow upon us only three! However, I have to say that I thought your comments completely fair for someone who may have been expecting... More

I can't give enough praise for the staff at Hotel Drisco. All individuals from front desk to housekeeping were friendly, professional and always eager to help. The rooms are beautiful, facilities/extras a delightful surprise and the breakfast exceptional. A very, very classy establishment with wonderful history in a great neighbourhood. Wouldn't say anywhere else in San Francisco!

Wow, what a great hotel. We enjoyed 3 nights in a lovely suite. The wine tasting, expertly led by Anne, each evening is a great way to meet fellow guests or unwind. The breakfasts are healthy and just what we needed to start the day. Yes, the hotel is at the top of a big hill but it is very... More

This is a comfortable, small hotel located in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the US. It's a much better experience than staying downtown. If you're in San Francisco on leisure, I highly recommend staying here (or at least in the Pacific Heights area). It's a joy to walk around Pacific Heights and admire the beautiful landscaping and architecture.... More

Yes it's old and so what? It's clean neat and has character! Remember that?? Staff were lovely, the free afternoon wine reception was a great touch with quality wines and cheese. We had a really lovely few days here in early April. Just note the location is in a (very quiet and very upmarket) residential area. You need to get... More
