It was a friendly, clean hotel with a good sized pool and gym. The sushi restaurant was tasty. The staff was very helpful in pointing us to places to find food and activities. It was a short walk to the Powell street cable car and train station and about a 10 minute walk to the Moscone center.

Hotel Nikko exceeded my expectations! I stayed for 3 nights for vacation & it felt like a home away from home. The staff-- from the valet to checkin to imperial lounge-- was professional & friendly. The hotel staff gave me several recommendations of places to eat & things to do. Shout out to the friendly Filipino gentleman who does the breakfast shift in the imperial lounge. I got a complimentary upgrade to an imperial queen suite on a high floor (24th floor), which also have me access to the imperial lounge (Hotel Nikko's version of Marriott's executive lounge). I had a fantastic unobstructed view of San Francisco. My bathroom was large with separate soaking tub & shower. The toilet had a high quality bidet, in which you could control the temperature of the seat & the water thru a remote. This was such a value add; it's the only hotel I've stayed in that has a bidet! (So fresh & clean if you know what I mean 😉) The two queen beds were comfy. The hotel room was quiet; I never heard noise from neighboring rooms or from the hallway. There was turn down service every evening, which included a fresh bucket of ice, chocolate, lavender, & a note of what the next day's weather would be. I was very pleased with the extras in the room, such as a keurig, hot water kettle, wine glasses, two tall refillable water bottle cans....and a plushie of Buster the hotel's dog ambassador. So cute! He had to accompany me on the rest of my trips so I ended up purchasing him 🤗. Upon checkout, the hotel staff told me Buster is being phased out since they're retiring him. I hope the hotel replaces Buster with another animal plushie. It's such a cute value add to the room. My floor also had a water bottle refill station; love that (so important to stay hydrated when traveling). The imperial lounge is cozy & has snacks, coffee, & tea all day. In the morning, there's a simple hot breakfast of potatoes, bacon, & scramble eggs plus various bread & cereals. There's a happy hour of wine & charcuterie between 5-7pm, but I was usually out exploring the city so I didn't try it out. The location of the hotel is fantastic. Walking distance to lots of eateries & shops, short uber ride to Chinatown & pier 39. I felt safe walking around the area. Hotel staff also told me which areas & streets to avoid because they would have a lot of homeless and/or be less safe. Highly recommend Hotel Nikko, especially if you're on the top three floors (23, 24, 25), which are the imperial floors.

Nikko is by far our favorite place to stay when visiting San Francisco. The facilities and the staff are excellent in every aspect. The rooms are always spotless, fresh, and clean - and the pool area as well, along with the gym. The hotel is very family friendly, and the location is excellent for dining and shopping. 6 stars!
