Overall we enjoyed the hotel but there were a couple of quirks, some of which we knew about going in. When we checked in, it was a little earlier than their regular time and the room was ready. We were not asked which side of the hotel we wanted or if we had a floor preference (other guests were asked... more

The hotel generally was nice, room was adequate, the bathroom needed some TLC, Breakfast was ok, however there was only a coupe of tables in the "dining room" & it got crowded very quickly, but the biggest down fall was the street noise, one on the bedroom windows did not close properly & the hotel is on a main emergency... more

The Donatello is a true San Francisco gem, tucked away only one block from Union Square. The property itself is staffed by friendly, knowledgable staff. They welcome your questions and are there to make your stay enjoyable. When booking, I suggest you request a high floor to negate at least part of the street noise. Our room was spacious, especially... more

The Donatello is a medium-size hotel which is a just a few minutes walk from Union Square. We decided that we’d probably prefer this area to Fisherman’s Wharf, and we were glad we made that choice. This is a well-run place. The rooms were nicely furnished, the bathroom was small-ish but adequate, and it was clean. Staff members all seemed... more

We chose the Donatello as we were staying in San Francisco for a week-long trip to attend a wedding. We booked here after looking around the web for quite a while, trying to find a hotel room in the right price range and yet also big enough for our stay. My husband and I were traveling with our 9-month old... more

My husband and I recently returned from a week in California. We stayed 3 nights at The Donatello in San Francisco. We found the hotel to be a good choice for us. The room was extremely nice; large and well equipped. There was a wine and cheese party the afternoon we arrived (Friday) which is a once-a-week event. This took... more

This is a nice hotel. It's quite large and very centrally located being a stone's throw from Union Square. But it's not too large and impersonal. The staff were helpful and geuninely interested in giving us a good time (we stayed two nights) and managed to remember our names and where we came from during conversation over consecutive days we... more

We stayed at the Donatello hotel for 4 nights in October 2008. We chose it based on the the reviews in TripAdvisor. I am really amazed to re-read some of the comments that people have made, now that I have been at the hotel. What are they talking about? Is there another hotel Donatello in SF? This is a nice... more

We just spent a week at the Donatello, a clean, spacious and well-located hotel very close to Union Square. Our room was perhaps twice the size of a standard city room, and considerably less expensive. With the friendly service, included continental breakfasts and internet access, it's difficult to imagine how the Donatello could do things better. We'd happily return. more
