The hotel is in a great location close to the cable car terminus, Bart station and Union square. Our room was very clean and comfortable but on the small side. A couple of minor niggles, the alarm clock was nowhere near the bed and the table for the coffee machine was a bit small making it fiddly to add the sugar etc. Free bottle of water was a nice touch. Considered the 'Resort' fees of $40 a night expensive for WiFi and a small pool.

Pros: Great location near union square. Staff is amazing and amenities are great. We were offered an upgrade for $99 a night. This gives you club access and a fantastic view from a top floor. The club offer a really good breakfast. Bacon, eggs, potatoes, toast, bagels and an assortment of juices.The evening offered beer, wine, an assortment of cheese, crackers and a charcuterie board. Room 2403 was clean and cozy so I could’ve stayed in the entire time. There was a bidet on the toilet that I actually used. It has been a while since I’ve had a room with one in it. Of course my boyfriend wouldn’t use it. They had great amenities like a toothbrush, shaving kit, shower cap, bath salt, soap, shampoo, vanity kit, shower gel, robes, slippers, mini fridge, coffee and tea and a safe. This hotel is super quiet. I didn’t hear any noise. Cons: $125 a night for incidentals! I thought was very pricey even though they released the amount after check out. The club experience was lacking when it came down to the evening. Offering chip, cheese and crackers and a charcuterie board. The restaurant closed super early. The pool was inside but was very small. The jacuzzi wasn’t working so it was just a very small pool. Next to the pool area was an outdoor sitting area which was nice. The shower was beautiful but super tiny and the tub was small. The coffee in the room was horrible but I always bring my own. All in all I love this hotel and will book it again.

Nikko is by far the best hotel to stay at in San Francisco. The staff are the friendliest around. The hotel is always super clean and comfortable. The food and service is top notch. The amenities are unmatched in San Francisco: indoor pool and hottub with the option to order food and drinks poolside, sauna and steam room in locker rooms, large gym with multiples of many machines as well as free weights and yoga equipment, outdoor pet terrace, upper level outdoor patio with firepits, in-house entertainment at Feinsteins, amazing sushi and cocktails at Kanpai, great views of the city from the upper floors, ... Sometimes we have never left the hotel during our stay! And the location is perfect so close to Union Square for shopping, bars and restaurants - and the Powell Street Cable Car! Also a short walk to the main BroadwaySF Theaters, Chinatown, the Salesforce Park, SF MOMA, and The Ferry Building.
