Union Square hotel offers fine dining, eclectic design and free Wi-Fi
A fantastic location, great value and elegant design make the Kensington Park Hotel one of San Francisco's most popular choices. Innovative coastal cuisine is the theme at Farallon, the on-site restaurant that features richly imagined undersea elements. Guest rooms at the Kensington Park Hotel reveal a hint of English-garden inspiration while also maintaining an eclectic vibe that's distinctly San Francisco. Complimentary afternoon tea and sherry service help guests feel welcomed and cared for.Kensington Park Hotel Rooms

Good for a weekend in the City
I think the Kensington Park is the perfect place to stay for a weekend. Walking distance to restaurants, shows and shopping. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable. I'd stay there again, especially for a weekend in SF.

Great Weekend in San Francisco
Great location, within walking distance of China Town, Telegraph Hill and Fisherman's Wharf. The staff was really helpful, made our stay very enjoyable,. Enjoyed the tea and sherry in the lobby in the afternoon. The room was clean and comfortable; the bathroom was starting to show its age though.

Our Stay
We wanted a quiet hotel next to the action, in San Francisco. Our action was sights in a big city, eg, walking around China town. Entertainment in the the square, seats and a programme of music, Union Square. Ease of transport to other interesting places that are within a few miles, the Cable Car system. The availability of things further afield, a bus to the Golden Gate Bridge and then on to Muir Woods. At the end of a day out, or a morning or just the afternoon, whenever we returned there was the peace and quiet of our hotel, and a pleasant greeting from the staff. It just seemed to take us in and we began to feel rested. A favorite of ours became the afternoon coffee and sherry, served at reasonable times and the occasional musical entertainment. It was with regret we said goodbye to staff who looked after our room and those in the foyer with their greetings and ever helpful attitude. When we return we have already selected our hotel.

Grand old SF Building refurbished for comfort
THis is a great boutique hotel, complete with a Theater built within! Very comfortable and great Union Square location. As a SF native, I found this a true classic in the City. TV reception was only down side. Wireless internet was free! Recommend parking at Union Square 1 block away.

Rental car agencies are a block or two away. Don't rent at the airport. Cheaper to pick up / drop off in the City!

Great staff, great room, great location
We had a great experience here! The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was super helpful and were able to answer any questions we had about food, transportation, etc... The only downside is that parking is $45 per day...ick. They have coffee each morning and sherry each evening which is nice. It's walking distance to everything in Union Square and Nob Hill and right on the cable car line. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!
