RIU Hotel Review
Hotel Great Service and Great Location to Fisherman's Wharf Restaurants and Retail Shops. The Breakfast is so amazing so many delicious options of food drinks and pastries worth the stay 💯 ❤️. Parking is also a plus very secured and perfect access to the rooms from the elevator this was just an added bonus very safe and convenient. We had a Pool View and a view of the City waking up every morning was great vibes. RIU we will be staying here again highly recommend.

Best Location Ever
We arrived after a brutally long travel day to find the hotel very accommodating. When I booked the hotel, I saw all the excellent reviews and now I know why...It is literally 10 minutes to Pier 39, Ghiradelli, the Buena Vista, other fun shops AND there is a Trader Joes one block away and a Walgreens 3 blocks away. The cable car stop is on Hyde (near Ghiradelli) and we were able to walk to North Beach (20 min) to dinner. Honestly, it's so convenient and safe. PLUS they include an awesome breakfast buffet with your room. Not the sad muffin and stale coffee...no..this is fresh pastries, fruit, charcuterie, eggs, homefries, nutella, pancakes and very strong coffee. The only downside is the water pressure and the tiny toilet room :)

Second time staying but nothing has changed
I stayed here with partner and his sister end of last year. I came back for my mother’s birthday so I took her with my brother and niece. We book two rooms. Unfortunately, our rooms are nowhere next to each other, but we were on the same floor. Their room faces the pool, so it’s noisy with people shouting and running around. The room still smells musky. When my brother and I went to our room, the stench is stronger so I had to take my air freshener from my car just like the last time to mask the scent off. The check-in process is slow. Our first night, our 2nd room’s shower did not have any water coming out. My niece called the front desk a total of 8 times but no one was answering so she gave up. I reported this in the morning. It was only then that it was fixed. The shower has a low pressure, and it’s small for American standards. There is no exhaust to suck the steam out from the shower. Bring your own soap and shampoo. The main plus is it is easy to find parking at the hotel and its location is walking distance to the pier. However, I would consider the two hotels in front of it, and the other one is adjacent to it. I’ll probably try those other two hotels for once.

San Francisco's gem
Excellent place to stay, The place is clean, walking distance to the waterfront, only wish they could have more rooms upstairs to enjoy the city view...

Excellent location and breakfast, but be aware of the parking fees
The hotel boasts a prime location, ideal for those looking to explore the best of San Francisco on foot. Traveling as a family, having a minibar in the room was a huge plus; it’s a functional detail that allowed us to store food, making our daily logistics much easier. Another highlight is the breakfast: the variety and quality of the products are top-tier, exceeding expectations and providing an excellent start to the day. However, the only negative point was the underground parking. I found the additional cost to be excessive, especially considering the rate already paid for the room and breakfast. It is disappointing that they do not offer a preferential rate for guests, something that would certainly have made the stay a much better overall experience.

Great Experience
My daughter had travel sickness when we arrived early before check in time and the lovely lady on reception found us an available room immediately. I had requested online a room away from the bus depot that I had read was a noisy area. While my daughter rested, I enquired if there was another room available, which again the friendly lady at reception was happy to arrange for us. At a scheduled time, the very helpful porter came and collected our belongings and escorted us to our much quieter located room. Everything about the room was comfortable. The included buffet breakfast offered lots of variety and was run by very efficient staff to cope with the large number of guests and constant refilling of the food. There is a mini convenience store near reception with food, snacks and drinks and Trader Joe’s is a block away if you need more supplies. This hotel was so convenient to walk to Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39 and the ferry going to Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. We hired bikes from a nearby bike hire shop to ride to and from the Golden Gate Bridge and being lucky that it was a hot day in September, I even got to use the pool and relax on the sun lounges after our ride. I was very pleased with my choice to stay at this hotel and enjoyed the experience of being located so close to Fisherman’s Wharf.

Excellent Stay
My overall stay at the Riu was awesome. The location right at fisherman’s wharf is perfect. The staff was very nice and polite. The morning breakfast was great, which we ate at everyday during our stay. Will be coming back to stay here next time I’m in San Francisco!

Excellent Stay, great safe location
Wonderful hotel. Nice that breakfast was included. It was fine. The rooms were big and the beds massive and comfortable. This was near attractions and felt the safest place in SF to stay. Rooms are a little noisy as you could hear people in other rooms above and to the side. I would stay again for sure.
