I adored the quaint charm of Kensington Park Hotel, particularly its hand-painted ceilings and welcoming lobby. The accessibility to Union Square made it easy for me to explore without the need for transportation.

Elevator service could be more efficient.

The cozy room featured unique vintage decor, yet inconsistent temperatures from the shower.

Our stay was fantastic! The hotel's location was perfect for exploring SF. The complimentary coffee and biscuits made our mornings brighter. My kids loved riding the historic cable car, and the staff were friendly, making it easy to store our bags while we wandered around.

My wife says that the room felt a bit cramped for our big family. It would be great if there were more storage options for families with kids.

definitely coming here again

Great location near Union Square with easy access to transport and lots of restaurants around. My room had a cozy design with a flat-screen TV, refrigerator, and reliable Wi-Fi. The complimentary evening sherry in the lobby was a nice touch. Also enjoyed the vintage elevators that added character to the place.

my stay was truly enjoyable. this hotel surpassed my previous experience in san francisco with its unique charm and convenient location right near union square. the room was cozy and well-appointed, making it a perfect base for exploring the city.

shower delivered inconsistent temperatures.

The location next to Union Square provided easy access to many attractions. A delightful touch was enjoying homemade preserves at breakfast, along with the comfortable beds that made for a restful stay. However, the room lacked air conditioning, and while a ceiling fan was available, it might not be sufficient in warmer weather. Also, the absence of a kettle initially was inconvenient, but staff responded promptly with one upon request.

Oh man, the food scene nearby is fire! Scala's Bistro served some bomb French pastry that had me swooning. Plus, the location was stellar, just a stone's throw from Union Square and killer cafes. And the staff? Super chill and quick to hook me up with a coffee machine when I asked—score!

I didn't realize there was no AC, but I rolled with my mini fan (must-have! ). The windows could've used screens, and the overhead fan was a bit chatty, but nothing too wild. Still could've used a second trashcan for my snacks!

The Kensington Park offers a unique charm with its early 20th-century decor and brass fixtures. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to assist with my needs, including setting up my presentation equipment. The location is ideal, just a short walk from Union Square, making it convenient for both business and leisure activities.

The elevator service could be more efficient.

Singles looking for charm

The historic feel of this place is much more interesting than any modernized chain hotel. Every morning, I’d wake up to the sound of those lively cable cars – it’s like the city has its own heartbeat. Plus, the bed was incredible, felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. The staff was also super friendly, always quick to help whenever I needed something.

It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but still acceptable given the location.

The charm of the early 20th-century decor wowed me! The location is perfect for exploring Union Square, but the shower had inconsistent water temperature. 💧

The vintage elevators add a charming touch to the experience, which is a nice nod to the building's history. Convenient access to public transport makes getting around a breeze, and being close to Union Square opens up a variety of dining and shopping options right outside the door.

The room felt cramped, squeezing in essentials without much space to move. Dim lighting made it tough to see, especially near the mirror. Shower temp was unpredictable, with water fluctuating from hot to cold at times. The heater couldn't be turned off, making the room quite stifling, despite the fact that my stay was in January. Plus, a lack of any breakfast service meant missing out on an easy morning meal, which could have started the day off right.
