Reviews for Hotel Drisco

Outstanding Hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Had a great experience at the Hotel Drisco. Rooms are very elegantly appointed and are very quiet. Great mattress and pillows. Bulgari ammeneties are great. Filtered water and bottles are complementary. Very clean room with maid service twice daily. Love the cookie at turndown service. The staff is very accomdating and will help you with anything you need. What is really amazing is the included breakfast and happy hour. For breakfast you can have smoked salmon, fruit, oatmeal, cereal, pastries, breads and eggs any way you like them which are excellent. For happy hour they have some very nice hor h'oeuvres such as meat, cheese smoked salmon, nuts, breads, hummas, guacamole, too many things to mention. Coffee and tea are always available in the lobby. A great location within walking distance to the Presidio. Great quiet neighborhood. An excellent hotel for San Francisco.

Gracious Elegance in Pacific Heights

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

We spent 5 nights at the Drisco. Even though it was a return visit for us, we found that many changes (all good) had occurred in the years since we last visited. Our room was on the first floor and while it lacked "a view" it was spacious and very quiet at night. The hotel is a beautiful and gracious place. Staff are responsive to questions and gave us helpful advice. The breakfasts were superb! The buffet items are very fresh and the made-to-order eggs never disappointed. The two-hour evening wine and heavy hors d'oeuvres were incredible! In fact, there were times when we had big lunches and so cancelled our dinner reservations and had a light supper at the hotel. The hotel also has a very nice Room Service menu. If you're around at 3 p.m. they put out freshly made biscotti in the Sitting Room. I loved the chocolate biscotti, but the lemon biscotti were very good too. Bathroom amenities were top notch. I was initially intimidated by the Dyson hairdryer but quickly became a fan. We slept very well as our bedding was perfect. If we're able to visit San Francisco again, we will definitely return to The Drisco.

The Best

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Beautiful, small and friendly hotel in the best spot in San Francisco. The rooms are perfect, every detail has been thought of. The staff are very helpful, the breakfasts are delicious and their welcome evening drink is better than eating out. It’s easy to get around SF and the view and park next door make it unbeatable. I hope to return soon.

3 great nights in S.F.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

My wife and I spent 3 lovely nights at the Hotel Drisco. It is a lovely boutique hotel which is exceptionally clean and well-cared for. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There are some perks including a great wine hour ( 2 hours actually) with good wines, and great appetizers which could probably substitute for dinner. The breakfast is really excellent. Egg dishes are made to order and coffee is available this way as well. Our room was not large but beautifully furnished and the bed/bedding was top-notch. The bathroom was plenty roomy and great. The hotel was apparently renovated in 2023. Maid service included turndown at night. It is set amidst the mansions of Pacific Heights. The location is fine in that regard but it is not near a lot of the usual tourist sites. I suspect the hotel sees a lot of repeat customers who want to be in this area. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Everyone seems to go the "extra yard" to help make you stay more enjoyable.

One of the best hotel stays we have had

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

I honestly don’t know how this hotel could be any better. It was one of the best hotel stays I have ever had. Quiet upscale residential neighborhood, fine views, personal attention from staff, comfortable bed and pillows, ample drawers and closet space, ample space in bathroom, in-room Nespresso machine, complimentary bottled water, outstanding breakfast selection. Checked all of our boxes. Will definitely return.

Not only was the Hotel Drisco luxurious, the service was impeccable, the suite was absolute luxury (we didn't want to leave the room!), the breakfasts were fantastic, and the afternoon wine gatherings were superb. Luxury does not begin to describe the experience. The only drawback is that I now will never want to stay anywhere else in San Francisco.

We recently stayed at the Hotel Drisco and it was one of the most enjoyable stays I've ever had at a hotel. This extremely quaint hotel is located on a beautiful street and the hotel staff was particularly nice. The next time I'm in San Francisco, I'll be staying at the Drisco a hotel that captures the grace and charm of Europe.
